2065 AD

Selene woke with a sudden jolt from her rejuvenation sleep. The images of Viktor fighting Orlian seemed to bring things full circle. Viktor had fought Orlian, Selene already knew the outcome that Viktor surely won. It seemed strange it was both Viktor and Orlian who where enemies because of their fathers both in the long run where the ones who created Selene. It was Viktor brought her into immortal world and Orlian who created her part Vorador making her the balanced being who forever seems to escape death.

Strange how things come full circle.

Selene now fully rejuvenated sat up feeling her powers slowly return to her she could feel it would take a more than a few days before she had them all fully back. Slowly she sat up, the sting of the no longer needed needles ached in her back and shoulders. Tensing her muscles she forced all the metal needles out with her skin alone. Placing her hand on the area that had the needles she felt her warm blood still seep out in droplets. Her skin took a little longer to heal than usual

"Ouch" She muttered feeling what it was like to be some what mortal again in her weakened state.

Getting to her feet she saw herself in the mirror a second time, a slight smile crossed her face as she now recognized herself. Pulling open the wardrobe door she was quick to discover Marcus had not left her usual death dealer suit rather armour and his selection of clothing. It was all defense rather than attack, which concerned her of what kind of world she had woken to.

Dressed in black with a thin well patterned layer of armour Selene was surprised how heavy the fabrics where along with a large coat with feather trims with a note from Marcus saying 'You will need this'.

She eventually found her box of 'toys' at the bottom of the wardrobe where her normal sword sat ready along with her always favorite Berettas, throwing stars, lazar knife and a few more nasty gadgets to her liking.

Selene finally emerged back into the tomb to find the coffin that had encased her was back in the ground with the thick metal casing back over top. Walking though the empty cold tomb she pulled her large coat shut seeing why Marcus left the note.

With a clear head and mind Selene could now observe the chamber, along with all the decaying bodies and bones littered around. Curiosity she scuffed her feet among the dry corpses and bones when impulses lead her toward the book sitting under the broken clock.

Finding the book she began to read, almost instantly most her questions where answered as she read on. It was the amount of time written that struck her the hardest, her chest heaved at the thought fifty years had passed. Her eyes fell on the runic clock and then to Viktor's that still ticked and a glimpse of hope filled her heart, she had indeed woken up earlier than Marcus had intended but how early? She asked herself trying to make sense of the runes. Still in every way she was disheartened she knew she had now spent a long time absent from her children's lives. Especially Roslyn who if had grown would she even recognize her? Selene knew Roslyn would be too young to remember her.

The impatience dwelling in Selene was too much she quickly skimmed though the pages of the book looking for how to get out there didn't seem to be anything she could see. Throwing the book to the ground she decided to open the door herself. The reached the first door that was covered in the same runes as the clock, it was obvious Marcus had planned to be there when she woke to let them out.

"Bloody hell I can't read this…!" She snapped at herself. She squinted at the gate until she suddenly realized not all of the symbols where ones she did not recognize. Near the top of the round lock sat the same symbol that was on the amulet Viktor gave Kain. It was planned out that Viktor no matter what was supposed to wake at the same time as Selene, he was familiar with such symbols. Selene grabbed her head taking a deep breath, Viktor had tutored her in the ancient symbols when she was first coping with her Vampyre life. All she needed to do was concentrate hard to remember what she could of the lost language.

Selene sat down and stared at the symbols, it took her fifteen minutes to find each symbol of all her children, it was just a matter of turning them to the right area, if only she knew which ones.

After a while of staring at the door tracing her memory it suddenly came to her. The symbols of the children where to match the symbols of the stars for when they where born. Leaping to her feet she grabbed the runes and pulled them around to the correct time and star, in moments metal gears changed turning the lever for the door unlocking it. She grabbed hold of the large steel handle and with all her effort pulled the heavy door open she was still fairly weak from her years of slumber. Icy air rushed down the dark tunnel to greet her whipping past her body causing her to shudder. Feeling rejuvenated and full of energy even if she didn't have her powers she jogged up the tunnel, before she reached the top the stone coffin at the top moved aside letting her out into the ground level crypt. Emerging into the crypt she was greeted with the warm colours of the stain glass windows to the sides of the crypt. Selene found another door with the same markings only this time it was the elder's original symbols she easily turned into the right places.

Like before the door unlocked, except this time the door took more needed strength to pull open it gave off a icy crackling from the frozen outside sealing it tight.

Selene stepped back shielding her eyes from the bright white snow of the outside world.

"A cemetery" She mumbled to herself slowly letting her eyes adjust to the brightness as she emerged out into the world.

Pulling the door closed to protect Viktor in his weakened state she head the lower door of the tomb close it self and both doors lock. She lingered among the ancient headstones listening to the crunching of her boots in the snow everything was so silent, so calm all except for the light fall of snow making visibility a little harder.

Squinting her eyes Selene headed down hill keeping her self warm with a steady pace, stopping from time to time to look around all she saw was her cold breath on the air and the canyon walls around her. Though cold what seemed to be aimless wandering she finally came down though the graves to the rusty gate that lay half twisted open. Though the light blanket of falling snow she made her way into the trees and down the mountain side.

The snow was too thick to fly making her have to walk, not to mention she was too weak to face anything or become an air target, she had no idea what world she had woken into.

The forest track was muddy and treacherous it seemed to go on and on, along with the creeping nightfall that began to hinder her vision.

It seemed like hours later when nightfall was almost fully upon her, yet her surroundings still had not changed. So many trees, the same mud with quickly melting snowflakes and the same mossy covered rocks. She leaned against a tree becoming tired her stomach began to growl. She looked not a day over twenty five yet she felt as though she was beginning to feel what it was like to have age creep up on her.

"Now I feel old" She grumbled realizing now after years of hibernation she was well over two hundred years old. Ignoring her growling stomach she pushed on continuing on in the dark, her immortal eyes still gave enough for her to see the way.

Sleep however was the last thing on her mind. She felt as if she could stay awake for years against the amount of sleep she had just experienced.

Lost in thought she suddenly got a shock when she tipped a little into a stumble when the track came to a flat. Looking down she realized she was on an old dirt road

"Better than nothing" She muttered still cold and getting quite annoyed at her stomach's continuous complaining.

"Left or Right?" She asked herself quite content on talking to herself for company, there was nothing else to talk to or give any sound. She sighed taking a deep breath looking back up at the direction in which she came. Maybe she should have woken Viktor? This time asking herself in her mind. Being alone like this was really getting to her and she was so disorientated bringing down her confidence. All her life she had still been around people, Vampyre, human or Lycan. Even up on the towers at night there was still civilization below, out here she was completely alone.

She dropped her shoulders looking up at the silhouette of the mountain she had just hiked down and didn't feel like walking or flying back up. The snow was still too thick to fly anyway, even if she did want to stretch her wings.

She started wandering left down the road since it headed down hill till finally she reached some what of civilization. She had reached the petrol station Marcus had used to fuel the helicopter before taking her and Viktor in their hybrid state up to their tomb.

Jogging into the abandoned station Selene gladly dove into the shelter out of the cold snow. There was nothing but rusty old empty vending machines, the pumps all dried out making the station run down. She sighed looking though the paper work all over the floor to see if she could find a map of some sort to indicate where she was. Kneeling down on one knee she flung the dusty out dated magazines from her day to the side when she had a feeling she was being watched. She swung around quickly to catch anyone out, but all that moved was the light falling snow falling past the empty doorway.

"Paranoid" She called herself reassuring herself it wouldn't have mattered anyway, if it was someone she could seek help or if it was an intruder they would fix her complaining stomach.

She found nothing. Instead she found an old chair with all its padding what she could use to sleep on for the night. Hopping up onto the chair she curled her legs up then wrapped her wings around herself ending up in a cozy ball warm with her own heat and feathers.

"What has happened to the world" She whispered thinking aloud once again with no one to talk to.

Deep in thought and still letting realization of everything sinking in she drifted off to sleep letting Viktor's memories continue showing her his past.
