I'm back. I have a Logan muse but he seems to just grunt and smoke cigars. He didn't warm up to me quickly. Since such is the case, I plead, come back from your vacation Kurt! Please? I'll exchange you for Wolverine! Really! That aside, this is hopefully the end of the fight.
I drew the sword, carefully slipping it from the stone. The blade sparkled so brightly white it almost hurt to look at it. Something compelled me and I held it above my head into a stray beam of light. Eons of knowledge flowed into me. Battles, won but rarely lost, in lands forgotten and people who had long since turned to dust.
"You must go now, or you may lose your friends. Hurry child!" I heard Merlin coax me and i stepped through the portal ahead of me.
When I stepped out, I was facing my father and standing in front of Talia and Her brother Mikheal. I moved the sword to block him and he fell back against a hedge. Blind with rage he charged again. This time I didn't block.
I felt the sword slide cleanly through his chest and his blood run down over my fingers. In that instant time froze for me. I could hear the silence, sharp as the very sword in my hands. My father fell foward when I let go of the sword and it slid in up to it's hilt, the blade sparkling red this time. I was numb with the shock of what I'd done. I bent down and took the amulet from around his neck, tears beginning to stream down my face.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. I carefully slid the sword out of him and took it back with me through the still open portal.

"Never again!" I nearly shouted at him. Merlin merely sat passively as I took out my frustration by banging my open hand into a nearby stone wall. "Never again will I kill for you or anyone!"
"And if there is no other way?" He asked.
"There's always another way." I replied. "Always."
"Calm yourself child. The choice is yours." Spontaneously we were teleported to the grove with the sword again. this time around it hung a golden amulet with a red stone set in it.
"I don't want to kill. I choose the amulet because I want to protect people who can't protect themselves." I said. -People like I was.-
"It is yours. Take it." he said.
I slipped it around my neck carefully. It felt heavy at first but then it lightend and I had to touch it to remind myself it was there.
I looked around for a portal. Seeing none I looked at Merlin. A young woman with black hair and black eyes was standing in his place. She seemed to have an ageless quality and her eyes sparkled, hinting at the knowledge underneath.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Roma, the daughter of Merlin." She replied.
"I'm not going home am I?" I asked.
"Not yet. You have to undergo training to be effective. We wanted to wait until you were older, but cicumstances demanded otherwise." she replied. I knew what cicumstances she meant.
"I don't get to say goodbye to my friends do I?" I asked.
"No. I'm sorry. But you'll have plenty of oppurtunity to forge new bonds with new people whilst you train, and when you do return, which you will, you'll be able to meet the challenges that seem now insurmountable."
"So where am I going then?" I asked. I was eager to go home, but that didn't look like it would happen any time soon.
Well? So Brittany's life is starting to look up. Until she goes home, every other chapter will be narrated by Damia.
