A/N: This will be the last chapter of this book. I feel like this story is getting to long it self. I will be immediately starting a new book to pick up where this one leaves off.

A/N2: Please review. Even though it will be short.

            "Why are we observing lower creatures sleep?" a translucent woman with dark hair said as she glided through walls and floors. She traveled with a large pack of like beings. No muscles were used to enact any action. They simply observed and drifted.

"The scent is stronger this way," a dark male said to a comrade.

            "I smell it this way," A woman with light hair drifted.

The head of the observers floated in the center of the Hyperion lobby. "Come," it directed. No gender age or face could be distinguished in this being. It's group gathered round in the lobby.

            The questioning woman spoke again, "Why are any of these creatures worthy?"

            Their leader considered her a moment. "We are not here to judge…We are here to observe… Have you completed the survey of the occupants?"

            "There are three that will be affected," a fair man answered.

            Beside him a woman corrected, "And the child."

            "Very well," the leader said. "Begin creating the protective barrier… They will be arriving soon."

            "What do we do for those affected?" the fair woman asked.

            "Call the singers," the leader answered.

            "Why not let the animals suffer for what they bring upon their families?" the dark haired woman stated with annoyance.

            The leader floated directly in front her. Its' translucence illuminated all the space surrounding it, blinding the woman slightly. "I am sorry your death was at the hands of an 'animal' as you put it. I will tell you again, you have no right to judge." It considered her again. A burst of light occurred over the shoulder of the dark haired woman. The leader spoke again, "You will return."

The woman saw the being sent to replace her along with the singers. "I was granted this so I could see the good in the family of my murderer," she protested.

"Yes, but when you set out with blindly anger you can not see or help. Therefore, you will return," the being said blatantly.

She sighed saying, "I would like to be permitted to see the human child she bore and died for."

"Granted… But you will be stripped of any power to help or hinder. You will only be able to observe… I would like you to watch the ones she Sired and observe the boy. Great things will come from that one. The lower creatures have prevented the destruction of this world that you love. Look at them with new eyes. We will see if you are able to see past their linage, then we will move forward."

The younger woman bowed in submission and watched the others move and prepare. She stayed with the leader to observe as he did. "Do the others know the transformations they will see?" she asked quietly.

It looked on her with a more pleased expression, despite Its' lack of face. "No, they do not. All died martyr's death's like yours, however none at the hands of either type of beast."

"I know I asked this before and I do not mean offense, but would you please explain why these creatures will be blessed? I ask out of curiosity not judgment."

"Yes… The four affected each have a great destiny to fulfill. Much pain it will cause them and has already. The blessing on all is to strengthen the power base here and as they separate later. Despite all this group has been through together on this plain, pains have driven them apart and together. They must function as one in the coming time, drawing off each other flawlessly," It stated.

"But to be blessed with such a creature exists only in myth," she whispered.

"No… just every few centuries when the need is strong."

"It will be created again?"

The leader drew her through the wall and into the bedroom across from them. "Yes…They will trust him because of us."

"So the boy will save them," the dark haired woman said gazing down at Wolf asleep.
