Zoe's reward

Now, it is time I told you about the awkward dream I had just a few seconds ago. It started with me was standing on a cloud alone, I can see the a field right under me decorated with wonderful flowering trees, and I can see the beautiful bright moon right above me guarded by hundreds of thousands of shiny stars.

Looking around, admiring the beauty of my surroundings, I heard her voice, her beautiful strong confident voice. "You have done well u-we-tsi-a-ge-ya!" Nyx said from behind me.

I turn around to see her standing with Aphrodite on her side. As usual, her face was not so clear; all I was able to see is optimal beauty and power. She had one hand around Aphrodite's shoulder who looked tiered and scared, but Nyx's warm embrace seemed to comfort her.

"You two" Nyx continued looking at me and pointing at Aphrodite, "have done everything I asked you to without hesitation. And you have achieved the goals I wanted you to get to, even though the methods you sometimes used I did not want you to go through.

"This showed me something I never realized before, but now I see it as clear as can be. You two are a team, and function best when you work together, so breaking you apart was a mistake I should have never done."

Before I can say anything to her, she disappeared. I was confused, what was she talking about? How is she going to bring Aphrodite back to life? Maybe bring her back as a red fledgling, but she wasn't a blue one when she died, besides she did not die through rejected change (which is how most blue fledglings die before they come back red).

Soon, the clouds under my feet moved out, and I was falling towards the field. I landed on my hands and feet without even a single scratch or pain. I look around to see I was standing alone with Aphrodite standing on the other side of the field. I start walking towards her to talk to her when I saw Shawnee running towards her from behind. But something was different, Shawnee was a vamp, she had a filled in mark with beautiful expansions that was a completely random pattern. She also looked angry, and it was like she was running to attack someone.

The first thought that ran into my head was why Shawnee would want to attack Aphrodite, when I felt someone run past me towards Shawnee. It was Erin! I did not see her face, but somehow I knew it was her.

When both of them reached the middle of the field, and started to move around, I managed to see Erin's face she was also a vamp, and at first glance, her tattoo extensions looked exactly like Shawnee's but once I looked closely, their tattoos fitted together, like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

Soon, I realized that they were fighting, actually fighting and hitting each other. A while later they started using their affinities. Erin was calling water which fell from the sky as severe rain, and Shawnee was calling fire which came from underground, breaking some of the earth to show the fire below.

Chunks from their battle was flying everywhere some almost hit me. A while later, people started to gather and watch the battle, vampire warriors came to calm the battle, the vampire council and other powerful vampires came to try and neutralize the elements. But Shawnee and Erin where very angry and kept fighting no matter what, soon everyone in the area got a chunk from the battle and died.

I was standing alone in the middle of what used to be the beautiful field I looked at a while back, but now it was all destroyed, everyone was dead, and Shawnee and Erin where still fighting. I looked across the field to see Aphrodite still standing there, looking as worried as I was which is when I woke up.

When I woke up, my eyes hurt like hell, I was barely able to see; I directly went to the bathroom and washed my face. When I looked in the mirror, my eyes where huge and red. That is when I realized this is exactly what happened to Aphrodite when she had a vision, is that what Nyx meant when she said Aphrodite and I was a team, was she talking about our affinities, did she give me Aphrodite's gift.

"Well, we just witnessed the end of life on earth, but on the bright side, I feel nothing after seeing the horrible vision we just saw" I heard Aphrodite's voice say in my head.
