Chapter 6

Sitting together in a representation of what could only be called a jacuzzi was two almost identical women just one looked older than the other. If one had passed them in the street a stranger would probably mistake them for sisters.

The truth was far stranger. Scathach could not be more proud of young Lilith she had progressed at an astonishing rate. True Scathach could still best her in their sparring matches every now and then Lilith managed to pull one out of the bag. And it was becoming more frequent.

She had taught Lilith how to use the gae bolg and its variants and over the six years had managed to hammer the forms on how to use such weapons into her. Preparing to hand over her titles.

So here she was sitting talking to young Lilith, She was thinking back over the 6 years she has known the child that she has come to love as family.

Initially she was worried about what Gaia wanted her to do but but when she stepped in to help the girl during the attack she couldn't help but feel bad for her. So their she was the small child had literally just seen someone die right in front of her and then she had to explain who she was and why she was in her head. God that was a mess Scathach was just glad that the child was in shock and was just rolling with the punches till she could properly accept it.

Shortly after wards Lilith had started her apprenticeship with that crazy old man. Scathach had initially decided to start off lightly with Lilith's training as she knew that she would have some troubles acclimating. So with the first years training being mostly physical fitness and ruins she had set forth to help the girl. What she had not expected though was for the girl to talk to her when she was worried about things she was not comfortable talking to any one about. According to Lilith when asked why she had responded that since Scathach resided within the mind-scape she had access to her memories thus she saw no reason in hiding things from her.

This had brought a smile to Scathach face, she had never just sat and talked before. She liked it.

And so over the years when Lilith was not getting trained into a bloody pulp she would spend some time talking to Scathach whether it be about her work or something benign.

It was because of this that she was worried as She knew that in order for Lilith to be able to use the last ability associated to her name, she had to 'take' her name. In other words there could only be one Scathach.

Lilith knew there was something really wrong with her big sis it was the last day before they left everything was prepared they were just waiting for the means. So here she was called into her mind-scape by Scathach for 'A important lesson'.

As Lilith stood out in the field where their spars have always taken place she was nervous as she had noticed a rather powerful barrier was erected. "Welcome little one." said the god slayer. With a small tug on her lips as she approached.

With a bow Lilith smiled back " may I inquire the reason for this spar?" asked Lilith in the formal tones she knew would irritate. Seeing the quirked eye brow she knew she had hit the mark.

"This is to see your progression up till now. So I want you to fight with no holds barred." said Scathach with a smirk at the excitement that the girl was showing.

Both women summoned a Gae bolg and got into their respective stances, slowly observing for the slightest weakness in stance, in fortitude. Stalking around each other looking for the opening to capitalize upon it was not until as if by unseen signal both dashed forward with such insane strength pushing off the ground that it caused a small cater to form under their feet . Dashing forward and slicing the spear across Scathachs stomach only for her to flip over Liliths head wile driving downwards with her own.

While moving slightly to the side Lilith trapped Scathachs spear between her arm and torso while continuing the rotation to bring her own to bear for a mid body thrust. Unfortunately for Lilith Scathach had already disengaged with that spear and summoned two others and was blocking the thrust with one while swiping at her head with the other. This sort of back and forth continued faster and faster. Closer and closer they came to injuring each other. It was only when Scathach de summoned her weapon in the middle of a block that the fight came to a crashing halt.

"Do not cry for me my child, I would not have survived much longer. I have been slowly fading This way I am able to die the death of a warrior, The death I deserve. Not only that but I get to preserve my legacy as There can only be one Scathach not two. Use my memories, and my training and do what is right!" and with that The mighty queen of the shadowlands burst into blue energy and faded into Liliths Body.

Lilith couldn't believe it, here she was in the middle of her mind-scape her gae bolg next to her, tears silently streaming down her face and her hair every where. She just didn't know what to do. The grief was just too much. It was then that the memories started to hit, growing up as a little girl in Scotland, training with a spear, hunting all types of mythical creatures including divine. Being chosen as the guide for the souls of warriors. The unintended side effect due to the land of shadows. Her learning how to control the doors to her lands. Training many warriors , fighting many wars. Meeting CuChulan and training him. Being betrayed by him in midst battle. Training Cu's son. With drawing from the world. Being summoned. Dieing . Reincarnating. Regretting not being able to be there for Lilith. Decide to Give her everything.

Upon waking up in zelretchs office Lilith broke down into tears and curled up into Aoko who after a couple of hours of easing her into talking she managed to tell them.

To say that they were surprised was an understatement as up until this point Lilith basically had a heroic spirit living in her head and had been training her.

The next day they had all gathered in an alley next to the leaky cauldron. Standing there was her small family, Zelretch and Aoko her teacher Waver and surprisingly bazett who had taken up sparring with her when she approached the Enforcer corps for training.

As they stood there Lilith in her armour enshrouded in her cloak, waver handed her a chain with what looked like two miniature boxes on it. "Now remember you will be gone for a while so we have given you a stock of what you might need but remember to use it with care." and with that he placed the chain over her head and pulled her into a hug before stepping back.

Bazzete stood forward before addressing her " remember to keep up your training I don't want you to have slacked off while you where gone. But just in case these should help" said the enforcer holding out an intricate box opening it was a set of 6 black keys .

"While the clock tower does not use them much all enforcers do have them in-case of capture missions. We just don't tell the church as they would get a bit salty about it." she finished with a matching grin to that that was on Liliths face.

Next Zelretch and Aoko walked forward. And pulled out a diamond shaped crystal that looked like it was filled with lightning. Putting the chain it was on over her head she turned to them. "Now listen that crystal is filled with pure prana waiting to be used the only difference with that crystal is that it wont allow itself to be interfaced with except by the chain. The chain has been forged using Aokos Aspect magic so using the prana running through the chain it will take you where you concentrate on going." explained Zelretch

"Your lucky that your body is tougher than most due to having Scathach in you for so long" Started Aoko to Bazzets shock " Her savage training and the fact that your her incarnation should allow you to make this trip. And I will say that it is a trip that is impossible for me due to the turbulence of the time-streams" Finished Aoko in a slightly jealous tone. After a quick hug from Aoko Lilith stood back and then Activated the Crystal. Dissapearing in a flash of rainbow light.

Bazzete then turned round and looked at the others "Excuse me but I don't think I heard that conversation right so maybe you can fill me in right? But did I hear you say Little Lilith was the incarnation of Scathach? The ideal trainer? Queen of the land of shadows?."

At this the group let out a collective groan. .
