Part 3
Ashford steps into the Council room with Ariara following at his heels. Ariara stops and looks around the enormous room. It has 3 large bow windows in the front, a glass sun roof , a wooden planked floor, several pictures of glorious landscapes hang form the wooden walls. Bookshelves clutter the room all of them filled to the top with books the only other piece of furniture is the table in the middle. 15 men and women are seated around the table, 7 on each side and one women at the front. Ariara guesses she is who is in charge of this mission. She is very beautiful, she has long blond hair and brown eyes and a small figure but by the way people seem to respect her she seems to have a presence that just screams authority. The thing that Ariara takes notice of is her perfectly curved, muscular hands. Of all things to have muscular I never would've guessed someone could have muscular hands. Ariara smiles to herself but turns to face Ashford as he calls her over. Ariara wanders over to the only empty chair in between Ashford and the lead women. Fear ripples through Ariara. This place is huge and I am right in the middle of the whole operation and everyone seems to be staring at me. Why do people like to do that?
"Good morning Ariara I am Miss Harris. I have been apart of this Council for only 2 years but all ready I have grown in rank. My father Alexander Harris has taught me well and I hope you feel that I am worthy to run this operation." Miss Harris concludes as she looks at a shocked Ariara. She's asking my permission. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of sick joke?
"I believe you. Please explain why exactly Mr. Jones and I are here." Miss Harris nods her head as she pushes a book front of Ariara and points to a place in the text. Ariara looks down and reads the text.
In 28 years after the turn of the century,
The warrior of the world
Must travel back in time
To visit the time when 2 warriors reigned and
An Angel looked over them both,
To save her own time.
Ariara reads the text twice over and looks up confusingly at Miss Harris.
"Warrior of the world?"
"That would be the Slayer, you Ariara."
"Ok so I am traveling back in time to the time when there was two Slayer and they each had an angel? I don't get it."
"According to our research through the history of Slayers and eye witnesses such as my father, in the years 1999-2019 there was one a mistake in the Council and two Slayers, a Miss Buffy Summers and a women named Faith. Although we are unsure about the angel that watches over the two girls we are sure that you and your Watcher, Mr. Jones are to go back in time to visit these two girls so they will somehow help you prevent the end of the world here in the present as we know it."
"Ok…..so when do Mr. Jones and I leave?" It's not like there's anything holding me here why not visit the past.
"We are opening a portal, a tear in time, to send you back. But you should be well rested before you leave so we will do this at 9 pm tomorrow night." After goodbyes were said and plans were made Ariara walked back to her room. She sunk down into her bed and went directly into a disturbed sleep. To dream the same dream she has been dreaming for a week. A single tear runs down her cheek.
