(Chris' Point of View.)
I stood over a scroll looking at what I had accomplished. I gained the power of darkness and shadow through the Darkness soul orb, I gained the power to purify evil in the form of they Scythe Excalibur and now all I had to do were two last crucial things to fully becoming the prince of the night. First I needed Artemis' power over the dream lands and the last and most important piece… the piece that will mean nothing if I do not gain it. I will be nothing without that last piece, all of this will mean nothing to me if I do not get it… all I have to do is…
"Chris?" my eyes went wide when I heard it. The voice I longed to hear for so long growing up. I turned my head to see them, my entire family alongside Wyatt carefully watching the demons around them. I was shocked to say the least, I was told they could not sense us here in the underworld. Then again… I did not want them to. I turned away from them and continued reading what I had to do to gain the powers of dreams. "Chris honey? Peanut?"
"Mi Lord, the preparations for your journey are almost complete." I turned to my demon and smiled.
"Thank you, return to your post and send Daemon to me please." the demon bowed and quickly ran off. Piper walked up to me and tried to place her arm on my shoulder. I shook it off and took the scroll with me walking to the other side of the room to grab what I needed from the cache of goods the demons took for me. "What do you want?"
"Chris… honey were here to take you home." I felt rage inside me just from hearing that. My wings fluttered their soft feathers returning to their blade like state. I glared at her my eyes glowing with my anger. The darkness within me grew into tendrils as they looked at me in fear. "Chris!?"
"What makes you think I want to go back to that prison!?" she looked at me like a grew a second head. Then again I might as well have, the dark tendrils turned into large gaping mouths that growled and hissed like snakes.
"What do you mean prison?" asked Leo, I laughed out hollowly.
"You got to be kidding me… you really are so fucking blind!" the dark heads gained large blue eyes that glared as I did, the anger in my body boiled and I felt my powers start to loose control even some of the demons backed away as I got worse and worse.
"Don't talk to your father like that!" Shouted Piper still cautious of me. I just laughed at that, kind of maniacally as well.
"Did you really just say that? Did you! Really just say that!? After all of the dam ignoring me you just try and mother me NOW!?" I just wanted so badly to run away, I felt like if I stayed I would do something wrong… really wrong. Piper turned to Phoebe and Paige who looked away, if she knew or not that they were the ones who were there for me I do not know but what I did know was that she was not going to get them to help her not this time.
"Chris please calm down." Leo looked heart broken and I knew why, I could feel him thinking it… he thought I was really evil… a monster.
"No! I will not calm down! I want you two to leave this place right now!" I shouted grabbing the two with the snake like heads swallowing them into the darkness. Wyatt rushed to me and garbed my shoulders.
"What did you do!?" he asked sacred.
"I sent them home." he looked at me for a moment and I glared at him. "What!? You think I just killed them!? How sick do you think I am!?"
"Oh… um… my bad.. I trust you Chris. I do just…. Please don't freak out like that again, it scared the shit out of me." I frowned and sighed taking in a few deep breaths and let the snakes fade away and unsharpened my wings… I couldn't take it anymore I burst into tears. I felt to my knees and cried. "it's OK, I know you don't want to hear it but they don't hate you they love you kit… will you give them a chance?"
"..." I thought about it… Wyatt never asked a thing of me since all this had happened… I owed him that much. "I'll try… when this is over."
"Alright." I turned to see my aunts and smiled shyly.. I wonder how they saw me. I waved to them and they tackled me in a hug.
"We were so worried about you peanut!" I smiled at them and hugged them back.
"I missed you girls, I haven't seen you since the night… why did you come here?" they chuckled at that.
"Because we love you silly." said Paige. Phoebe smile but frowned looking out a the demons.
"So… your going to be a new source?" I sighed.
"Yeah, but its not what you think." I pointed out to the demons and smiled. "They want a new life. A life of their own where they do not have to be evil, where they can life in piece."
"We know, and we're here to support you… but are you sure they are willing to change?" I smiled at that and looked out at the demons.
"I know they are… look I have a few things I have to do, go back home and let Piper and Leo know I'm fine. I don't want them to try and come back here until I finish what I'm trying to accomplish." they nodded and patted my back.
"We'll see you soon Chris." said Paige. "Come on Phoebe we got to call off the search."
"Yeah, good luck Peanut." I smiled as they orbed away and turned to Wyatt.
"OK, there are two things left we need to do. First we.."
"Wait… Chris the Source knows what your doing…" I frowned at that, if he did know what I was going to do I knew I had to hurry.
"How long do we have until he attacks?" I asked hoping we have time.
"He said he will be waiting in the deepest part of the underworld." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good then we have a little time left. Follow me." I led Wyatt to a room inside the base inside was a large pool full of crystal clear water. The demons carefully poured different liquids inside it along with petals from different colored flowers. One of the demons walked up to me bowing respectively while holding out a potion bottle. I thanked him and sent him off along with the rest of the demons leaving Wyatt and I in the room alone.
"So what do we have to do?" he asked I smiled at him looking at the potion.
"We need to bath in the pool and then drink the potion once we do we will be taken to the realm of dreams. The world between reality and imagination, from there I must find my throne and regain my full strength and power. After that there is only one thing we need to do and then I will have what I need… then I face the Source of all Evil." I slowly removed my shirt and pants leaving my underwear on as I dropped into the pool. I turned back to see Wyatt blushing removing his clothes, I blushed as well when I saw his toned chest and legs. He jumped into the pool with a small splash and he swam to me and dunked his head in the water before rising up wiping the water from his eyes.
"It's warm… so we just drink the potion and we go to the dream world?" I smiled nodding my head handing him the potion after taking a drink myself. He drank and his eyes grew bright and I think mine did as well he gasped as his eyes fluttered close along with mine. I felt my body slowly relax and sink into the pool, I tired to open my eyes only to see Wyatt sinking into the pool with me…
/Charmed\\\\\\\\\
(Wyatt's Point of View)
"AGHHHhhh!" I jolted up from the ground shocked, all I remembered was sinking into a great smelling pool with Chris, I looked around me and tried see where I was, all I could see was an empty dark sky and a field of lush tall green grass that seemed to glow like it was made from glow sticks. They shined so bright in the dark world around me. I stood up and looked for any sign of Chris but found nothing but glowing grass and inky black skies. "CHIRS!"
I called out to him but heard nothing but my voice echoing into the field, suddenly I felt a chill run up my leg and I looked down to see I was completely naked except for my black boxer briefs. I bit my lip and wished I didn't take off my clothes when I got in the pool, Chris just looked so comfortable being almost naked that I thought I could do the same… god he looked good… I smacked myself and started walking trying to keep my mind on finding him before I could start popping a boner in the middle of an unknown world.
'Rarrrow?' I quickly turned around hoping that whatever I heard was Chris trying to scare me.. and seceding. It was so dark that I could not see a thing but tall glowing grass and empty skies. I quickly pulled a few strands of grass and used it like a lantern waving the grass back and forth before looking for anything but finding nothing.
"Hello? Chris is that you?" I heard the grass rustling around me and panicked, I dropped the grass and tried to send of wave of magic out around me but nothing happened… my magic didn't work here.. "Crap.. I'm fucked!"
'Raorrow?' I nearly screamed when I felt something grab my leg, I looked down and sighed in slight relief. There on the ground stood an odd creature, it looked so harmless that I was so very not worried that it would attack me. It looked kind of like a rabbit but also like some kind of imp, it had two long ears and the largest blue eyes I have ever seen with what looked like stars shining inside, it stood on it's hind legs and touched my leg with its fingered paws. Lastly it had a long tail that swung behind it like a monkeys.
"Hey little guy." I keeled down to meet it's eyes, it was about a fourth my size coming up to my knee. It looked so cute that I pet it's ears scratching them like I used to do with our old cat. I loved that cat so much and was heartbroken when it ran away. Chris reminded me a lot of him, being so silent and shy to other people that I just started calling him Kit, the name of our cat. The little creature purred and chirped in a sweet echoing voice. "What's your name?"
'Raorrow.!' it mewed, it looked at me happily and handed me a small round object, he had three in his hand and I took it thanking him.
"Awe thanks. what is this thing..." he looked at me for a second and showed me the other two taking a bite of one chewing on it and then swallowing it. "Ooooh some kind of fruit… well you only live once."
I took a bite of it and my mouth watered moaning as the juice ran down my tongue and in my throat. Holy gods it tasted so good, it was like eating a magic strawberry. It was so good I felt bad when it was gone. The little guy looked at me and smiled cooing and walking away. I quickly followed it since he 'or I think it was a he.' walked into the grass.
"Hey I know you can't speak English but have you seen a guy like me around here? He is skinnier then me but he wears the same kind of underwear… not that we share underwear we just buy the same brand.." I felt stupid explaining this to a thing that probably didn't even understand me. It looked back at me and waved happily before keeping his pace. "I think I feel better just talking to you. It looks kind of lonely out here… I hope Chris is OK."
'Mirrroow' it said handing me another berry I chuckled at him.
"Oh no I'm not hungry I'm just a bit worried about my brother… but if you don't mind I would like another." the creature mewed smiling handing me another berry before eating the last one. We walked for a while until a large tree came into view, it like the grass was glowing like it was nothing but bio luminescent matter. It shined bright blueish white, on the branches were a bundle of different looking berries from the ones he gave me. They were banana shaped and light blue in color. The little guy climbed the tree very skillfully and poked the fruit until they fell from the tree. Thinking fast I quickly reached out and grabbed them before they could hit the ground. The little guy cheered at me happy that I caught the bundle. He picked one more bundle which I caught before climbing down.
'Orrroor!' he cheered happily as he grabbed my leg and pointed to a large grove of thick trees.
"Oh down there?" I smiled nodding my head. "If you want me to I guess..."
'Mirroow' I followed him deeper into the woods amazed, all around us grew large beautiful flowers and plants all glowing brightly in the dark sky. I noticed a few other animals crawling around, they looked like slugs big ones all different colors. Others looked like frogs and lizards all black with colorful stripes and spots with glowing eyes. I felt like I was in some kind of wonderland. Oh crud then that means I'm Alice… just in my underwear plus I have a. 'Rooooow'
"What is it little guy?" I looked down at me fuzzy glowing friend, I looked up to see a huge slug like creature with two tinny stick like arms and a gaping gooey mouth. My fuzzy friend growled at it and tried to lead me away as it rushed at us. I dropped the glowing banana fruit and pulled a large branch off one of the trees holding it ready as it came barreling toward me. "Come and get me you slimy bastard!"
'Mirroow!' I smashed the stick over it's head only for it to get stuck inside it's slimy skin. I had to let go of the stick before it could attack me I backed away. Just before it could attack me my fuzzy friend jumped in front of me and started to shine and glow brightly it's body shift until it formed into a large white hammer. I caught him as the slug monster rushed at me, I quickly used the hammer to smash it's head. The hammer burned him as it squished into pasty goo on the grass. I panted as the adrenalin rush in me slowed and the hammer transformed back into the fuzzy imp. It turned to me and hugged me in joy. 'oorrooww'
"That was awesome little guy!" I said lifting him in my arms. He was so cute, and also a powerful weapon. "you know what you need a name… how about Mace?"
'Marroo!' he chirped liking the name.
"I'm Wyatt, your my new pal Mace." he purred and picked up the fruit and made me follow him into the forest. Deep inside it got a bit difficult to see past the blinding lights of the plants that I tripped and fell as I past a group of trees and landed in a large patch of glowing blue grass. I looked up to see a whole group of imps like Mace, they all gathered around a large throne made up of black tree bark covered in tiny leach like slugs poisoning the bark the little fuzzy creatures gathered near a large stone fountain and filled it with fruit and plants of different types. As they added their ingredients into the soup it started to glow brightly. Mace tugged on my arm and pointed to the large fountain, he wanted me to add the fruit into the mix and I decided to do so. He was nothing but kind to me since he met me and this was the least I could do for him.
'Mirrooww.' I picked myself off the ground and placed the bundle of fruit into the water, as it fell into the soup it burst with light and shined with all of the colors of the rainbow coated in a haze of white. Mace handed me a chalice and poured it into the water handing it to me and pointing to the Throne.
"Your trying to heal that throne right?" the little imps smiled at me and Mace nodded probably understanding me but I could not know for sure… still they look like they have good intentions and I wanted to help. I walked toward the throne and looked closely, to my surprise I saw a human figure trapped inside the a wooden mold. I quickly poured the potion into the bark and the slugs that crawled around it and instantly went up in white flames the bark quickly lit up and grew as the wooden mold broke and out from it dropped Chris. He fell gently on the throne and breathed softly laying back his body propped on the wooden throne. "Chris!"
'Mirooow.' Mace and the other imps smiled and cheered mewing and purring happily as Chris' eyes slowly opened. I sighed in relief as he stared at me with a dreamy smile on his lips, his eyes looked much more different then before, their green hue was mixed with blue making a bright teal sheen that shimmered like two stars.
"Wyatt..." he whispered smiling at me like he was in the middle of sleeping. I smiled back at him as Mace climbed my shoulder and purred at Chris before jumping off and landing on the throne resting next to him. Chris pet his ears as he curled up like a cat and snoozed next to him. Chris looked back at me and then looked up his teal eyes shining. I gazed up to see the empty sky shine with thousands of stars and galaxies, each one was like looking like a wonderful painting.
"Chris." I looked down to see him smiling at me sweetly. He stood from his throne and wrapped his hands around me. I blushed but hugged him back before he pulled away just enough for us to look in each others eyes. I felt my heart stop when I felt his breath touching my chin as his head came closer and closer to mine. Just as our lips were about to touch a bright light blinded us both until I woke up back in the pool. I quickly lost my breath and bolted to the surface of the water gasping for breath as I looked to see Chris do the same. He looked back at me blushing and I could feel my own cheeks burning as he climbed out of the water giving me a full view of his butt. I quickly looked away and stood up of the water as a demon handed me a towl.
"Mi Lord." he bowed as he walked away I turned to see Chris towling off and putting his clothes back on.
"Did… did we do it? Did you get your powers back?" Chris smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I think so… I can feel something different about me.. give me a moment." as I dressed Chris held out his hands and I heard a familiar sound.
'Mirroow!' I felt a chuckle echo in my chest as Mace materialized in a bright light then jumped into my arms snuggling into my chest.
"Awe I missed you too buddy." I pet his head as he looked up and back at Chris jumping form my arms into his. He pat his head as he stood on his shoulder.
"Wyatt, I would like you to meet your dream guardian." Mace smiled and bowed holding one paw over his chest. "Artemis made them long ago to protect the dream lands, they have the power to cleanse nightmares from within the dream lands before they reach people. It was Mace who wove you your dreams and showed you pictures from our past life.. my own dream guardian gave me it's life long ago turning into the moon stone that formed Excalibur's blade. They are very powerful and kind custodians of the dream world."
"How do you know all this?" I asked. "i never heard of the dream lands until now and I doubt a demon or even the Elders know about a place like that our there would not be monsters inside it. So how did you learn all this?"
"Excalibur..." he summoned the scythe and looked at it fondly. "When I first absorbed it's power back when the moon fell I gained my dream guardian's memories. I would have absorbed him fully but something inside me didn't want to harm it… that's why it returned as the broken blade. I felt so guilty but I'm happy I gave him back his light."
"So… wait… what powers did Artemis have really? If Excalibur's light and power to purify darkness was not Artemis' then what did he have?" Chris smiled.
"He had the power of darkness in it's fullest form, and he was connected to the dreams lands to the point where he could effect the dreams of others. The power of light he held was his own love he had for his brother, he formed that love into the dream guardians and the light grew from there… if it wasn't for Solaris he would have been nothing but darkness." When he said that he looked at me and smiled. I knew what he was talking about.
"Chris…" I held my hand over my heart and smiled back at him. "Without Artemis, Solaris would have been blinded by the light."
"Wyatt." he sighed and his teal eyes glimmered for a moment. "There is one thing left to do before I become the prince of the night again."
"What do you need me to do?" I asked. He walked up to me and embraced me in a tight hug.
"All I need is for you to say something." I tillted my head confused but hugged him back and nodded my head.
"Anything." he leaned his head up and whispered in my ear in a husky voice filled with need.
"Tell me you love my night as much as I love your day." I felt my heart race and my spine tingle was I held him tighter. My hands ran lightly over his back as I whispered in his ear.
"I love your night… but…. I love you more… more then a brother." Chris gasped and pulled away from me, I thought he was going to smack me for saying it after all we went through. After all the pain he went through I deserved no less then a kick in the balls. But what happened nearly made me faint.
Chris placed his hands on my face and pulled me into deep kiss. I couldn't hold back any longer, I grabbed his face and deepened the kiss sticking my tongue in his mouth and moaning as I tasted him. Oh thank you whoever is up there for this moment! I felt like I was flying on a cloud, all of this was just to much. I felt something odd but I couldn't stop kissing him to see what happened and my eyes were fogged and shut tight as my spine radiated in shivers.
I've kissed before girls cheerleaders mostly but none of them made me feel like this, it was as if this was where I was meant to be. With my tongue inside his mouth running my hands around his back and through his hair. God I didn't want it to stop, I don't know how long we were kissing but I couldn't stop I didn't want to. Unfortunately my lungs were crying out for air and I had no choice but to listen and pull away.
"Chris?" my eyes even clouded as they were saw the changes in Chris' appearance. His hair was long and ink black and looked as soft as the feathers on his wings, his eyes shined like teal stars that stared lovingly into my soul. His body was lanky but define as it was but his hands were clawed with what looked like short talons. I ran my fingers through his wings and held his hand in amazement. "Your beautiful..."
"Thank you Wyatt… so are you." I just noticed I had changed to Chris pointed to a mirror and I gasped in shock again. My hair changed it was slightly longer going down to my shoulders and it was not just blond but golden. I walked over to the mirror and saw my eyes shined baby blue. I turned to Chris confused.
"How?" he smiled at me and placed his hand on my chest over my heart.
"Like I said… Artemis was nothing without Solaris. Without his light he was nothing but darkness, and now with your light I can be more then he ever was." He smiled at me summoning his Scythe lifting it high into the air, as he did the cave around us shined brightly in a wave of dark blue light that echoed through it enveloping the demons and stone all in a coat of light.
Once the light faded the cave appeared different then it did before and so did the demons. The caves were covered in a think lush green grass with flowered vines that clung to the walls. The Demons looked happier dawned in brighter clothes even the Dark-lighters' crossbows turned to long silver bows and the dark tattoo's ink shined blue.
They seeing these changes cheered in overwhelming joy, the all turned to Chris and I and bowed thanking him for the change. I turned to see a single tear running down Chris' eye as he looked at Daemon and the other shadow knights, they wore dark armor that resembled that of real knights and looked human once again. Daemon walked up to Chris along with his fellow knights and they all bowed.
"You've done it, you are complete once again my prince." Chris smiled and through his arms around his neck.
"It's good to see you again Daemon… or should I call you Dusk?" Daemon smiled as Chris stood he reached out and kissed the back of his hand.
"You can call me whatever you wish mi lord." I felt a serge of jealousy but let it go when Chris turned to me and smiled, just seeing that smile made me feel at ease.
"Well Well Well… You actually did it didn't you oh precious Prince of The Night." there standing in burning grass was the Source of all Evil. The ground around him burned and grew lifeless as he glared at Chris smiling horribly. He clapped his clawed hands sending chills down my spine. "Congratulations young prince. Not many can say they purified half the underworld. Then again it is nothing I cant reverse in an hour or two."
"What do you want Samael." Chris' voice sounded laced with Venom. He glared back at the demon clutching his Scythe ready to strike him down if he got near him. The demon dragon stood still, I don't know if he did it out of fear or confidence but I hopped to god it was the former.
"Oh I just wanted to see what was making my perfect underworld so..." he looked around the grass and flowers and cringed. "Hideous.."
"That would be me… now get out!" Chris quickly rushed in speeds I could not even see and sliced the demon right in half… but he did not die.
"Nice try, but that was just an after image. You want to fight me oh prince of the night then you can find me in the darkness most deepest depths of the underworld where even the light fears to tread. There you can shoe me all your power and I hehhehe… I will rip it all away from you..." I wanted so much to rip him apart and so did the demons in the room. Their eyes gleamed in anger from having their prince threatened. Chris looked ready to fight and that made my anger for Samael turn to out right fear.
"Chris you can't fight him! He was to strong for me to handle before he became the source he'll destroy you… I.. I cant lose you." Chris smiled at me and took my mouth in his again but much less heated but oh so good… crap I'm a perv.
"You'll never loose me." he turned to one of his demons and asked where Samael meant.
"He is going to the core, the very center of the underworld where the first demon rose from the fire. If you go there you may never come back. It is the birth place of all demons, if you go you may never come back alive..." the demon looked heartbroken and he knelled down in tears. "Do not go.."
(Chris' Point of View)
"I have to. He threatens all of us, if he has his way all of this will have been for nothing." I held out my hand and helped him to his feat patting his back. I turned to Wyatt and smiled brightly. "trust me… I can fight him with one arm tied to my back."
"Wait! You are not going alone!" Wyatt shouted grabbing my arm. I chuckled and hugged him.
"I need someone to protect the purified demons, it will take a few hours for the spell I cast to take full effect. I need your light here…" He shook in fear but relented when he hugged me back.
"Alright… for you… but you better come back alive!" I smiled and nodded my head… but deep inside I was unsure if I would make it out alive.
