Shadow saw the damage Jennifer had done to the demons. "And so it begins," she whispered to herself. Shadow did have a reason for being in the past. She had made a big mistake the first time around. She did not want to make the same mistake twice. Shadow stood still for a moment in thought, before she walked over to Jennifer. "By Thor's hammer, are you ok?"
"N-no."
"What's wrong?"
"I ruined my best dress...my only dress."
Shadow noticed it had been ripped. "Come back to my place. We all need a good bed and a change of cloths. We should lay low for a while. Don't worry, the Hylden fear my two brothers so we should be fine."
Jennifer nodded. "Okay."
"Shadow, can I talk with you a minute," came Janos' voice.
"Of course, Sire." Shadow ran over to Janos.
"I trust you know about Jennifer?"
"Yes, Sire. I knew from the beginning. In my time I was asked to protect her, but I failed. Doing so caused Nosgoth to be even worse. I won't make that mistake again."
Janos smiled. "Protect her."
"Don't worry. I, Rade Dy'nir, daughter of... That doesn't matter. Guardian of the Pillar of Conflict, will keep Jennifer safe."
"Ah, yes, your guardianship... I trust you will keep her safe, Conflict."
"Conflict? I thought that was Malek," came Dumah's voice. Shadow turned to him as she saw Zephon walk over to Jennifer.
"How are you Conflict?" Dumah asked, a confused look on his face.
Shadow sighed. "I can't risk corrupting the timeline by telling you... Oh, I suppose I might as well tell you." Shadow turned to Janos. "Jennifer can't hear what I have to say."
"I will keep an eye on her," Janos replied.
"HEY ZEPHON," shouted Shadow.
Zephon came over. "What?"
"There is something you have to hear. I am from the future, but we are going to make a mistake, and Jennifer will die before she is destined to. Because of that Nosgoth becomes a barren landscape... We can't let that happen."
Dumah crossed his arms. "Well, since you told us that, you may as well explain how you are Guardian of the Conflict Pillar."
"In the future, the Guardians are killed... I become the Conflict Guardian...but it hasn't happened yet... I was ordered to protect Jennifer but I failed and, in doing so, destroyed everything. I am here to make it all better. I hope."
Zephon and Dumah exchanged looks but nodded. "If that is the case, let us help protect her," spoke Zephon. He went back over to Jennifer and started tending to her wounds.
"If you want to help protect Jen, then sure."
Zephon looked at Jennifer's wounds. "Hmm. Let's see. It's not too bad. You will heal soon enough...but it's a life or death situation for your dress."
Jennifer turned bright red at his comment. "Is it true that I am under your protection?"
"How did you know that?"
"I have good hearing. That's all I heard though."
Zephon smiled. "Yeah, its true. So how old are you?"
"I am eighteen," replied Jennifer. "No one in the stronghold likes me and I will be forced to get married soon. Well, more like someone will be forced to marry me."
Zephon frowned. "Yeah, I know about that sort of thing. My brother, Dumah, has to marry this really arrogant, snobby, noble woman...but I think he is more interested in Shadow."
Jennifer smiled. "I wish I could choose. I mean no one wants me. They think I'm going to be the death of them.so they're all scared of me."
Zephon smiled and turned her face to his. "Jennifer, you are an extremely beautiful woman and I would take you as my wife."
Jennifer looked completely shocked. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Zephon drew close to her, about to kiss her, when it had to happen.
"Hey, what are you both playing at," spoke Shadow, her hands on her hips like a big sister would do, if she caught her younger sister being naughty. Dumah did not look too impressed either.
Zephon thought quickly. "It looks like you got a bit of dust in your eyes. There, that's better."
Jennifer smiled, playing along. "A lot better. Thanks."
Shadow saw the damage Jennifer had done to the demons. "And so it begins," she whispered to herself. Shadow did have a reason for being in the past. She had made a big mistake the first time around.
