The last thing Xander remembers is blacking out in the graveyard after distracting the new demony thing that was trying to kill them. He remembers Willow and Buffy looking at him in shock, after that his vision seems to fade. He seems to find it harder to think, to feel, and then for some strange, weird reason the ground seems to up and hit him in the face. It takes a couple of seconds before it register's that in fact he was the one to hit the poor ground, he slips further and further into darkness, a darkness unlike any he'd ever seen before. He felt himself fall through that unfamiliar darkness and out the other side to a LIGHT, a light so bright it could pierce the veil of confusion that had fell on him, and pierced his soul so that he feels the greatest warmth he'd ever felt. For some unknown reason he felt like he was coming home.
Xander wakes up in a strange, yet airily familiar room. He felt that he had been in this room before. It was a huge room that had a high vaulted ceiling. The room is supported by intricately carved marble columns. He looked up at the vaulted ceiling, and started in surprise, carved into the vast surface were what were mainly battle scenes. As Xander looked around the room he saw that the walls were coved in carvings. Carvings that made him slightly nervous, What set Xander on edge was not the carvings but the fact that the carvings were moving as though the little figures in them were actually fighting. As looked closer he was surprised to find that he could actually make out the faces of the little figures.
He wandered about the room his astonished eyes gliding from scene to scene, from battle to battle, yet here and there among the endless battle scenes, were carvings of what could only be described as tranquillity. They stood out like fortresses against the battle fields, but as he looked closer he saw that they were all being eaten away by the battle scenes.
He was about to begin a proper examination of the room, when one corner of the room caught his eyes, at first he wasn't sure what he was seeing. He looked closer at the scene that had caught his attention. To an outside observer it would have seemed that he paled,
and his eyes opened wide in shock and for a brief time, a time so small that it could have been imagined his eyes turned totally silver. The receded almost as fast as it came and then he let out a small gasp of shock.
"That's US!"
"Yes young one, that is your cadre of warrior's," came a beautiful voice.
Xander spun around trying to find the source of the female voice. All he saw was a spark of light that seemed to flicker in the room. As he noticed it the light grew and became brighter and brighter, so bright he couldn't look at it. the the light had faded he was astonished to see a beautiful and absolutely ravishing woman. Her eyes glowed a bright silver that looked a lot like the silver his own eyes had been moments earlier.
"Who-Who are you and where am I?" he demanded
The woman smiled at his question, "I have had many names in my lifetime, young Alexander, but you may call me Alisendra. And at the moment your body is on the way to the hospital but I have a feeling your referring to here. Like me, this room has many names in it's long life but the most recent one is the Room of Space and Time. It is also the reason you can be in two places at once but that is for another time. I think you have other questions?" she said with a gentle smile.
"Why am I here? Because personally I think your after Buffy you know, the Chosen One I mea-" he was interrupted when she raised her arm.
"No Alexander I need you because I need to awaken you to you're heritage, your blessing and your powers," the last she said with a voice full of sorrow.
"Me! I don't have any powers, I'm no powers boy, nothing special. See I'm normal." he paused taking deep breaths.
"I'm sorry Alexander but you do have powers due to your ancestry," she drew a deep breath "Al-Xander I have to tell you that well your a Guardian of Time"
You could have heard a pin drop in the following silence then THUD the sound of a body hitting the floor.
