A/N: Alright, I have no excuses about being so late putting up this chapter other than fanfiction wasn't actually working on my computer ¬_¬ That, and I also had exams.

Anyways thank you again for the reviews! Great to hear you want more Jasper; be patient my friends the time is near…

I STILL can't figure out how to upload images onto my damn profile page! Help anyone?

This chapter will be considerably shorter than the others, but it's necessary I think. Also the POV is new, and it's likely that I won't ever use it again. Maybe briefly. Who knows? Even so, I thought this one was called for to explain a few things. Enough said I think; let's just get on with it.

Enjoy fellow fanfic fanatics!

Chapter Twelve: Vengeance

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

A Poison Tree- William Blake

JaPOV (James's POV)

Date: Monday 3rd January, 3001st year

Location: ...?

I lay against the soft bedsheets, my eyes closed as I dwelled into a state of tranquility. The soft trickle of water above me was almost soothing in the silence, keeping me at ease. I'd gotten used to the absence of daylight and breeze; one of the few things I've had to sacrifice in my life. It would all pay off in the end, when I finally got what I came for. My victory was so close. The very thought of it made my heart thump wildly at my chest. Soon I would accomplish what my ancestors had failed to do.

Soon I would claim the hexagram of elements for myself.

A faint throb at my temple forced me back from my reverie. Could a man not rest in peace for five minutes? I frowned and pushed myself up, peering into the darkness. I wasn't expecting anyone till tomorrow. I stood up slowly, stretching my back before heading for the rock pool. The embossed torches ahead of me lit, awakened by my presence. In a way sorcery was more powerful than being a simple wielder of an element. With sorcery we could conjure the elements and make it do our bidding. Yet we still had no full control of it. Not with the prodigies in the way. The elements abided to them alone; no other master. Very soon, that would all change.

My trusty staff was perched at the side of the rock pool, the quartz flashing white at its peak. I leaned over to glance into the pool, brushing my hand lightly over the surface of the water. Immediately a face appeared in the water and I sighed inwardly. What was wrong now? Could nothing be done without my constant presence?

"Alina. This had better be good."

The young woman bowed her head courteously. "Master, this is just to inform you that the congregation is almost complete. Soon we'll be ready to make course for Pollentia." So we were ahead of schedule; that gave me more time than I actually needed. Oh this was just too easy.

"Good, very good. You've done well Alina. You'll be rewarded when this is over."

Alina bowed again, a faint smile on her lips. "Sir, what are we to do once everyone's assembled? I should say we'll be completely ready by nightfall."

"Don't set course yet; await my signal. My task is not quite finished yet. I shouldn't be long now; my victim is weakening faster than I'd anticipated. Make sure everyone is fully trained. I don't want any weak warriors in my army. Understand?"

"Yes master."

"Very well. Wait for my next signal." I waved my hand again and she was gone.

Pollentia. How much I despised the wretched place. The very thought of those unworthy, pathetic creatures that called themselves the prodigies made the blood boil beneath my skin. So they believe they can protect their beloved Pollentia…felt that sorcery was no match to them? I would give them such a lesson; they'd be writhing in agony at my feet.

Just like they made me suffer, all those years ago.

Even now, I could still feel the ferocious heat of the flames at my cheek. The agonized cries of my fellow accomplices, my family. My home. The prodigies would soon pay for what they did. Pollentia would fall at my hands; for my people and forefathers.

I peered back into the pool and a ruined pale face frowned up at me. The long, deep scar across his face was ugly and petrifying. His thin lips were dry and unsmiling. His bright purple eyes glinted, in a way that portrayed concealed power. Power he had yet to fully unleash. In time…they would all know.

I reached forward and swiped my hand across the glossy surface and the face disappeared. In its place a bed chamber appeared. A young man lay in the bed, his mouth slightly open as he slept contentedly. In his arms lay a young woman, her head resting against his bare chest. Her long hair flowed down her naked back, her slender arms wrapped tightly around her lover. I sighed loudly, shaking my head. This would not do; they slept so peacefully. I focused my gaze on the young man, the young prodigy, murmuring softly under my breath. Enough sweet dreams my friend, let you nightmares begin. Feel the painful urge.

I watched patiently, leaning close towards the surface of the water. In matter of seconds, a small frown appeared on Edward's unblemished face. Oh yes, he was feeling urge alright. Soon the pain would be too much. Soon he would have to wake from the terrible nightmare and run to his sole remaining salvation; the blue pills. The very pills I had given him myself.

Edward was under the impression that the pills were giving him control and strength. He believed I was giving him a way back to power. Sure, they were strengthening him. They were giving him more confidence, more boldness. Inside was a different story. My little blue pills were slowly but surely weakening his very inner core, draining him of his powers and his control over the element he was burdened with. He believed they were supposedly making him calmer, however they were amplifying his emotions; all it took was the wrong comment from darling Isabella and he would snap. Eventually he would become dependant on my little blue pills…addicted. Two pills a day would not be enough for him. He would overdose and lose even more control. The less control he had, the more dangerous he would become. The more dangerous he became, the easier it would be for me to take control of the element itself. With Edward under my control, I would have the one key to reaching my final goal…Isabella Swan. Her love for him was unlimited, just as her abilities and powers were immense. Only Edward could tip her over the edge. Only then would I finally have all six elements in my grasp.

The plan was now in full motion. Everything was flowing smoothly. Slowly but surely poor Edward would lose all will and control, to the point where he would even strike against those he loved the most. He wouldn't be able to stop. Not even if it killed him.

I lay back against my improvised bed against the rocky surface of my cave, tracing along the hideous scar against my cheek; a constant reminder of why they all deserved to perish. Soon, I would accomplish what my ancestor, Saber could not. I would defeat the Prodigies of the Hexagram. One by one; they would fall into the darkness they thought they could conquer so easily.

The next stage in my plan was simple: turn the wolves against eachother. Then sit back and let battle commence.

Let the games begin.
