1 Part 4
"What's she doing here?" Lex snarled at the girl. "She is a hunter and she is 'supposed' to be dead." Lex was about to launch herself at Rashel.
"Lex stop!" Ash yelled, "She is on our side."
"Once a hunter always a hunter" Lex retorted.
"Lex how about always a whiny human always a whiny human. You know better than anyone that people don't always stay the same." Ash said soothingly. Lex moved slowly backwards until she was standing with Ash pressed up against her back.
"How did you know who I am, or was?" Rashel asked.
"I remember you, dumb bitch." Lex snarled again, she could get over the change of heart of Rashel. "Though of course I wasn't always the way I am today, last life time I was human" A light dawned on Rashel.
"You are the reincarnation of Mary-Lynnette," She said in awe.
"Well done Sherlock" Lex cut back.
Morgread was looking slightly panicky; that Mary-Lynnette, the girl he had killed was reincarnated so powerful. Lex wandered towards him.
"You killed me" she spat out as if each word was a chip of ice. She brought her face within an inch of his. Then kissed him hard on the mouth.
"Thanks, couldn't stand that cow anymore than the rest of you." She said happily. Ash burst out laughing.
//don't you just love a girl with a good sense of humour. // He said to everyone in the room.
//I need to tell you something about Rashel// Ash said to Lex // but I will have to wait until after the meeting, Hunter is getting impatient. //
"I have called you here because you are the best the Nightworld has to offer. Our world is once again under threat from the dayworld. The wild powers have been reborn and I have sanctioned a Nightworld team called 'Dark Shadow' you five plus one other whom you won't be meeting yet will make up this team." Hunter explained to them. There were many furtive glances between people, they had all lived through the last millennium battle in some form and were mostly not eager to repeat the experience.
"We have been given new prophecies by Maya, before you start jumping to the conclusion that she I not really dead just let me tell you she is most defiantly dead but… she is not gone. Maya is a spirit guide now and she has provided the night world with prophesies to help them through the coming crisis. There are three in total, the one involving young Lex here, the second is:
The light is given a second chance,
Stronger than before.
1.1 One wild power is all they need
To banish the night ever more.
"And the third is:"
One from the mountains where the fire still burns strong;
One from the forests where the light can roam free;
One from the kingdom where darkness rules;
One from the wastelands where the beasts rule supreme.
After had told them the verses he sat back to watch their reactions. Lex's was probably the most entertaining, she was the only one out of the five of them that had studied the millennium battle, and she was torn between an interest in reliving events that were legend to her and the knowledge that even though she hadn't seen the battle personally Mary- Lynnette had. Mary-Lynnette had detested all the carnage she had seen. Images of the battle flashed through her mind, she saw the vast Nightworld army converging on the Daybreak mansion, the darkness rolling over the sky, Morgread's hardened face as he told the remaining Daybreakers what had happened to Jez, Morgread standing before her with his arm outstretched and then nothing. Lex smiled the best side had one the previous battle and they would win the next one as well.
Quin and Rashel were looking shocked; they had never expected anything like this to happen. Ash just gave a lazy grin as if he knew all along what was going to happen.
//Ash, did you know what was going on? // Lex quizzed him.
//nope, well I didn't 'know' anything exactly. Hunter has been running around like mad the past few days. He was even reading one of the books to do with the battle. I thought that was slightly odd as he was there. I knew something big was up to make Hunter flustered and since he was reading up on the battle I had some speculations. // Ash replied.
Lex gave a small laugh; she could just imagine Hunter running around trying to find all the information he could about the last battle. It was defiantly a comical sight.
All the eyes in the room turned towards Lex, Rashel wore an expression that clearly showed she thought Lex was nuts.
"What on earth are you laughing about?" Rashel asked.
"The last battle" Lex Replied.
"And that is funny because…?"
"How can it not be funny? The Nightworld won, humans died and daybreak was wiped out. Though personally the best bit for me was when Morgread told the daybreakers the Jez was dead" She turned to Morgread "it was class, I doubt I could have done it better my self." Once again Lex dissolved into fits of laughter. Ash came up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and him and managed to get a hold of herself.
"I'm through now." she said whispered to Ash. He nodded once in acknowledgement. Louder she said. "I am going to see the end of the battle this time." With a pointed look at Morgread. Morgread flashed Lex a grin.
"Don't worry I am sure I will have no desire to kill the new and improved version." Morgread said.
Hunter was getting pissed at all the talk, he wanted action.
"I have a copy of the prophecies for each of you." He handed out written sheets to the group. "Take them away, study them and figure out where the fuck the wild powers are hiding." He shouted the last bit.
Lex looked around the room once more. Many of the most famous people in Nightworld history were collected into that room. Her eyes flicked over their faces again. Ash her soulmate, Quin the iceman, Rashel the cat and Morgread the one that turned Ash back to the night. Lex felt proud to be included in the most influential group formed since the fall of Daybreak. She, the orphaned daughter of little known lamia parents, was a member. They were Black Shadow.
One from the mountains where the fire still burns strong;
One from the forests where the light can roam free;
One from the kingdom where darkness rules;
One from the wastelands where the beasts rule supreme.
Look out for Black Shadow Two: Blood and Darkness.
