AN: In response to my latest review, I'm sorry that the chapters have become shorter. I wrote this story as one long piece, but decided to cut it into chapters for the purpose of posting it. The way the chapters are divided seemed like the most logical course of action at the time.
Back in LA:
"Angel. I think you need to see this. It's Extremely important!" Wesley yells from around the pile of books surrounding the top of his desk. He is the middle of researching a recent case when he stumbles upon a prophecy in one of his books.
Angel walks into the room. "In for a bit of light reading I see." Wesley doesn't even smile. Angel straightens up. This IS important. "What is it? Did you find out about the new demon in town? How do I kill it?"
"No. Something worse. I…I…believe it's a …pro…prophecy about…um…the slayer…uh… I mean… um…Buffy."
"Buffy?" Angel slumps into the chair facing his former desk looking at Wesley in amazement. "What is it?"
"It seems that she is to battle –and I quote –with a creature unlike all others. The outcome is unclear, but the battle isn't to be fought alone."
"The Scoobies? They're actually mentioned this time?"
"Not exactly. Here. Read what I mean." Wesley hands him the book. After a moment of looking over the text, Angel responds.
"Um, Wes, I know I'm over two hundred, but I never learned to read Latin."
"Oh, yes of course. Sorry." He hands him the paper he's been writing the translation on.
"The warrior of the light will fight a creature unlike all others. The outcome uncertain, she must join with a warrior of the darkness recently turned towards the light. Here they will discover their fates as they find the strengths within and without." Angel looks up from the paper. "Why are they always so vague? Is this all of it?"
"So that people won't know what's to come. You must discover that on your own. And no. It's not all. That's all I've uncovered so far."
"What do you suppose it means?"
"My guess is that Buffy is going to fight another apocalypse and a 'warrior of the darkness' will help. That could mean a vampire, in that case you."
"Me?"
"Well you have recently turned towards the light. Unless there's something you're not telling us."
"I have to tell Buffy. Finish that as fast as possible. I want to leave tonight."
