5) And So It Begins
The slayer and the scoobies spent the next day in a daze. They had been trying to get along without a close friend and now she was back they had to readjust to it. Dawnie went thorough school without incident. Buffy saw tree students and started them on the road to recovery. Xander's workforce found him more focused and productive than he had been in a long time and Willow smiled with more feeling than she had in seven months.
Tara and Dawn were sitting in the living room in the afternoon. Buffy had paperwork, Willow had class and Xander had a contract to finish by July.
From her place at the window Tara looked down at one of the most powerful entities on earth who was currently wrestling with a maths equation.
"How long?" The question puzzled the Slayer's sister.
"How long what?"
"Xander and You? How long has it been going on?" Dawn turned, stricken.
"What going on. I don't know what you mean!" Tara smiled.
"Yes you do." She smiled "The vision gift, it allows me to sense to sense more than what's around me, it let's me see feelings as well. You love each other. I know it." A wave of relief streamed from the girl.
"About a month, He was there when we lost you, the 'being there' grew."
"Good." Dawn laughed, " Buffy doesn't know."
"Not a chance, she may be the slayer but she's pretty blind when it comes to me." She stopped and covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say . I'm sorry"
"Don't be, I'm not I can see more than I ever could and I'm back." Her smile relaxed the girl. "Three years is quite a gap."
"We've talked about it and we don't mind and it's not as big as Buffy and Angel." She smiled "and at least Xander's human."
"You've grown up, I know you are ready." Dawn looked up a little confused.
"What for?"
"Do you know why I was brought back?"
"The power's rewarded Buffy and the rest of us."
"Dawnie, I was brought back for you." She held her hand out in front of her. She spoke in a whisper that seemed to fill the room. "Whistler, she's ready, sent it to me." A blinding light filled the room and when it faded a sword had been left on the coffee table. Tara smiled, "Show off"
"What am I ready for?"
"I was brought back as a guide, to show you how to use your powers, the power of the Key. The first step is for you to pick up that sword."
Dawn reached for the sword, sheathed in red leather; the hilt bore the emblem of a key. When her hand was centimetres from the handle she paused, unsure, and then grasped it. A white light enveloped the blade and flowed to her fist and then up her arm and spread through her body..
"The sword has unlocked the bindings on the powers of the Key"
Dawn's head was engulfed.
"You will sense evil with your heart"
She felt lighter than air.
"Connect to the world around you"
The power was welling up inside her, gasping for escape.
"Change reality with a thought"
Her body was on fire.
"You will fight for good"
All at once it came to a climax.
"The Key is now free"
At the last word dawn felt the full power released and passed out from shock. Tara Smiled.
"And now the training begins."
*****
Whistler looked on from a different dimension. It truly was fantastic. The unit was complete. He bowed to the powers.
"I apologise."
{It was necessary}
"She will succeed"
{The future will happen.}
"You don't know?"
{You cannot}
"Then I shall choose to believe that she will"
{Why?}
"Because she knows her direction"
{You have another reason?}
"Because I have faith in the caution that exists only when thee blind are leading the blind."
