The male oracle waved his hand over the pool of time and looked at his sister. "Everything is going as it was written long ago."

"Brother do you think it wise that we gave the witch the power of visions?"

"Sister we had no choice the slayer and her kin needed to know that Adam also rose for the end of days. The souled Vampire has a seer, why not the Slayer."

"You speak the truth brother, but we had to make the vampire's seer half demon, so she wouldn't die."

The Male oracle looked into the pool of time. "Yes sister but Angel's seer was human completely, no power what so ever. The witch Tara has power she is a natural witch her power is rooted in light and her destiny is quite clear."

"Once again brother you speak the truth."

The brother took the sisters arm and smiled at her as they walked towards the door to the powers. "Sister you worry far too much."

Buffy gets up walks to the Phone.

"Hello."

"Oh god Buffy," It was Willow's frantic voice on the line, "Tara just had a vision about the battle and we have a problem. Glory is not the only one who rose for the end of days, Adam rose too."

Buffy went even whiter than she was, she looked back at the people standing there. "Will meet us at the Magick Box in a half hour."

Buffy hung up the phone and turned to her family, Faith had stopped pacing. "Buffy what's going on?"

"We have a real problem guys," Buffy said as she made her way back over to Xander, "Adam rose for the end of days also."

Xander looked up with a sick look on his face. "Adam but my god Buffy you destroyed his power source."

Spike stepped in. "And Giles killed Ben which killed the hell bitch, nothing matters, anything goes."

Xander stood and started pacing. "That's not the point Spike, the point is the only way we defeated Adam last time was to call on the power of the first slayer, not something I really want to do again."

"Look," Buffy said quieting everyone, "there is no reason to fight among each other. We need to get to the Magick Box."

Giles was going through the Book of souls utterly fascinated by the information and myths it held, it described in great detail the process of the souls from their birth to their re-birth. He glanced at Jenny and smiled softly she was going through a book looking for anything connected to the end of days. Morgana was sitting quietly she seemed to be meditating, she seemed lost in herself. Anya was doing busy work while talking to Oz who seemed fascinated by her. The quiet was gone as Buffy and the others came rushing in to the shop, all talking at once. Giles held his hand up for silence. "Please one at a time."

Buffy took the lead. "Mom, Dawn why don't you two go into the training room," the two Summers women nodded their heads and left, "Giles I got a call from Willow, Tara had a vision she saw the final battle and Glory wasn't the only one to rise for the end of days, Adam rose also."

Giles sat down and looked in horror at Buffy; Morgana had taken this as a queue and slipped into the back room. She smiled at Joyce. "You know I have never met the mother of a slayer before. How do you deal with it?"

Joyce laughed. "At first I didn't deal very well and then I realized that Buffy was quite capable of taking care of herself and anybody else that came along."

Morgana nodded and looked at Dawn. "I sense confusion coming from you little one."

"I know," Dawn started, "that I'm not the Key anymore but it is what I was and I need to know where I came from."

Morgana thought a moment. "Dawn what do you know about the key now."

"That is was created by the Powers That Be, the monks cared for it, then sent here to Buffy to protect it from Glory."

Morgana shook her head. "Well parts of that story are true and some parts aren't. The powers like to take credit for everything but the key is not their creation, it never was. There is a power far older and far more powerful than the powers that be. It is so old it really has no name, my husband Merlin called it the Omega and said it existed in a place that was beyond our reality. They are the creators of all you see the planets, the animals and they were the creator of the first slayer."

"Wait a minute," Buffy interrupted coming in the door, "you know of the first slayer?"

Morgana looked at Buffy and paused in thought should she tell of the things she had learned from Merlin's diary, things he swore to keep secret, then she looked at Dawn and her decision was made. "Buffy, Faith sit down there are things you need to know about where you come from, just as Dawn has this burning desire to know of her past, you both also must know."

She stood and gestured them to sit. "What you hear is what I have learned from Merlin's diary. Dawn the key was created by the Omega before the Powers came in to existence, so that they could travel between their dimensions and ours. When the Powers came to be the Omega was no longer needed to travel between the dimensions so they sent the key to an order of Monks for safekeeping. They knew that someday their creation would be put in human form but not why that was beyond their powers to know. They key was not created for evil nor was it created for good it simply was."

She turned to Buffy and Faith. "The first slayer was a normal girl. She had a family a life. A group of vampires attacked the little cave the first slayer and her family lived in killed everyone and she was on the verge of changing, when she called out to the unknown asking for help or power to stop what was happing. The Omega heard her and took mercy on her and subtly changed what the vampires had done, she was no longer just a normal girl but she was also not a vampire, she had their strength, speed and healing with none of their drawbacks. She attacked and killed the group that had destroyed her family and continued the duty until a vampire killed her. The Omega had watched her young life go by and when she died they knew that the world would need a slayer to destroy the vampires and monsters that haunted the night. So they chose another young woman and another until the last of first slayers had the spirit cast out."

Buffy and Faith let this sink in until Willow came to tell them they had a plan and a time and date that the end of days would start.
