Darker Phoenix Chapter Four

Genesis woke with the environment a tad lighter than she had last remembered. She was still on the stands, Sable was still sitting beside. The only difference was the fact that she was laying slumped in his arms. Sable wasn't looking at her. His eyes were averted to the sky that was beginning to lighten. Genesis wrenched herself out of his arms, sitting upright and proud, but fearful. Sable looked at her, still maintaining a far-away air. He looked at her, her expression was one full of terror. "I want answers.", she whispered. Sable propped his head up on his hands.

"Well, I want to know about you first. Who are you Genesis Phoenix?"

"I am... the Genesis Phoenix."

"So you're an 'it'. You're an animal. You're a phoenix. Okay. What are you doing here?"

"The Task." Genesis shouldn't be saying these things. She had no doubt that something would suddenly creep up on them and stab them both to death.

"Tell me about the Task."

"I am a destroyer, I am a creator."

"And you are here because?"

"My Task is to destroy the race of Man and provide a new world for my people."

"And your people are?"

"The Tuatha de Danaan." Sable nodded.

"You do not have to be afraid of me, you know. I'm an animal like yourself, though slightly different." Genesis just ogled at him. Sable swooped down on her, clutching he shoulders, shaking her entire body. "GENESIS PHOENIX STOP SHUTTING DOWN ON ME!" Genesis snapped out of her reverie.

"What? What the hell do you think you're doing?" Sable dropped her.

"Why do you wander all the time?", he asked, a tone of exasperation in his voice.

"Why in God's name do you really care?"

"Because your father killed mine! What, am I supposed to waltz past you? It's not like I don't have eyes! You aren't happy, and neither am I. We're both unhappy about the same person! Don't you understand?", Sable cried, he had started shaking the poor girl again. "All four worlds are fighting against one power. One ultimate Evil. You're father!" Genesis pulled roughly away.

"What do you want from me!", she exclaimed. "I'm trying to run away from that! I am his God damned tool! I see it all! It is you who doesn't see! He tried to kill me! Voldemort tried to kill me because I am the bane of his existence!"

"WHY?", Sable roared. He was desperate for answers.

"I am THE GENESIS PHOENIX! Ever read the Bible, Einstein? Do you know what the Genesis is? It is the BEGINNING! A phoenix creates and destroys itself! It is a cycle. It is a cycle that my father, God, Satan, Voldemort, Danaa, IS TRYING TO BREAK! The Bible is his way of poisoning minds! The majority of the population out there is Christian. They believe in a false God. They believe in the very thing that is there to create and destroy them! They believe in the Good, the Evil, and everything in between. Don't you SEE that he has made himself the Lord of all four Dimensions? That he rules everything? You are trying to overthrow an empire that would finish Mankind off for good!"

"Then why did he create you?"

"Psht* What do you think, oh brainy one."

"That would be Hermione."

"She's snogging Fred Weasley in the common room. Voldemort created me to take over the only dimension in which his name is LOVED. Then he can just spread another layer of darkness over us all! He wouldn't have thought that his Little Phoenix had a brain herself. He never thought that she would rebel and create a race of wizards and witches which might become the death of him!"

"What? You created wizards? Whoa* I was joking about the Dark Eve thing."

"Well, it ain't a joke. I created the race of wizards!"

"What, you just reproduced all by yourself? Sublime."

"No, I had a mate."

"Oh, ho, ho! Another phoenix?"

"Yes." Sable shut his mouth.

"And who was that? You're so young. What are you saying? You've been around since before the birth of Christ? Doesn't that mean you have a brother?"

"Uh huh. You're confused aren't you? Let me explain. Jesus, as he is called, is my brother. He is dead. God is my father. He is living, and he is evil. God has four names. Voldemort, Satan, Danaa, and well, God. He plays different roles in different worlds. But he reigns superior in all of them. I was sent here to take over your world, but I didn't. I instead created a race of humans that could wield the power to destroy him. Of course, there was this one little boy who escaped his death curse. You. That means you're special Harry Potter."

Sable just sat there. HE was special. He WAS special. He was SPECIAL.

"Well, what part do I play in this?"

"That,", sighed Genesis, "is undecided." She stood up. "Have you the time?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. It's four thirty in the morning."

Genesis nodded. "We had better go back in. There's still three hours of sleep time left. Come.", she ordered taking him by the hand. "Why do you call yourself Sable? No one else seems to know the name."

"Oh, everyone knows the name. They just don't know it's the famous Harry Potter behind it."

"So you go around saving people under the name of Sable, and then you disappear?"

Sable nodded. "You are a brave one, Sable. Something will result from that."
