I am super pleased with the reviews that I have gotten thus far! So here is the next chapter for your enjoyment!
~Disclaimer: I own nothing! Though I sometimes wish I did...
"Wewe umeonyesha ahadi nyingi vijana moja (you have shown much promise young one)" The elderly man spoke smiling; his wrinkled face seemed to glow with wisdom. His dark skin was draped over his lithe frame well, as if he had only aged in the face. Before him stood a group of young boys, none older than six or seven. The one he was speaking to stood a little in front of the others. He was different. He had pale skin compared to their dark, blonde curls compared to their dark strait hair and bright green eyes compared to their black pools. He kept his head bowed in a sign of respect
"Asantes bwana (Thank you Master)" He spoke softly
"ni wakatiwakurudinyumbanikijanashujaa, wewe nimafunzohalijakamilika (It is time you return home, young warrior, you're training is not yet complete" The old man said only he was not looking at the young boy any longer but out at the green skinned teen that now stood before him.
Beast Boy woke with a start. The dream had been so real, he wondered to himself if it was really even a dream. Maybe the master was calling him. He sighed, Robin wasn't going to like it if he had to leave, for any reason. He switched off the gamestation and TV figuring he'd fallen asleep playing and stood, deciding that he'd ignore the dream for a while, if the master was truly calling him, he'd come to retrieve him on his own. He turned towards the kitchen intent on getting a snack when he saw her sitting there looking distressed.
"Rae, are you ok?" he asked moving to sit next to her.
"I suppose" She said quietly as if afraid to speak
"Wanna talk about it?" He was worried, she never looked this upset.
"It has to do with Azarath, it isn't really something I can discuss" She said with a sigh
"There isn't going to be anything totally evil coming to destroy us again is there?" He asked, she smiled slightly and before he could comment the smile was gone.
"No, nothing like that, it's more of a personal stress than a dangerous one" She said staring intently into her mug as if it would tell her all the answers
"Is it the reason you couldn't participate in Star's girl time?"
"Part of it" She said with a heavy sigh
"I'm here if you need me"
"Thanks," She whispered before leaving the room almost as silently as she entered.
Over the next month Beast Boy kept having the same dream, every time he closed his eyes it was there. He knew he had to go back, now it was about convincing Robin. He quickly dressed and walked down to the main room and found the boy wonder reading the daily paper.
"Robin we need to talk" He looked to see it was Raven who got to the boy first. He sighed and sat down on the couch, he wasn't in the mood to eat. After a few moments they both reentered the room, Robin didn't look thrilled.
"Is everything good friends?" Starfire asked seeing the look on Robin's face.
"We are going to be a man down for a while, Raven has some things she needs to see to" Robin said as he sat down
"Make that two down" Beast Boy said nervously, Robin looked at him funny as did everyone else.
"Why?"
"Its personal, but I have something I need to do" He said softly "And I don't know how long it'll take"
"We can't afford to be two men down" Robin said sternly looking at Beast Boy "I'm sorry Beast Boy but whatever it is you need to do is going to have to wait until Raven returns"
"Fine, but I don't think it's a good idea" Beast Boy said walking back out of the room.
"What do you think that's about?" Cyborg asked confused.
"No idea" Robin said with a heavy sigh.
Well there it is! I hope you Enjoyed!
