"From the depths of eternity one shall rise... from a force present since the
dawn of time. Said to be of man and woman born... mother dead her daughter
alive. Father paid for all his crimes... The daughter fought and lived to
see years numbering 23... In her veins courses mingled blood... immune to the
bite that her mother killed... fueled by something far older than either
side. Not related to any blood... the earth her mother, the world her home.
Like the Phoenix she will rise from the bite of both sides... to bring her to
her truest state, both must be given at the same time. What results will
baffle minds... and stretch the bounds of darkest times. To one side she
shall hope bring, but should the other catch her despair will reign."
That was all that she could decipher from the faded, ancient text. However, it seemed that it was all that she needed. Her heart jumped as she read those words over yet again. There was another person like Michael out there... but yet different. Strong enough to endure bites from both, but they would have to bite her at the same time for it to bring the prophecy to pass. She finally had enough information to go to Michael with.
She had been waiting to tell him about the prophecy until she had managed to decipher it. She didn't want to get his hopes up only to find it a dead end. But now, with what was written on that brittle page, she began to feel hopeful once again. True, there were still many questions that this passage left unanswered, but she felt confident that everything they needed to know could be found in the part of the prophecy she had managed to decipher and with that idea in mind she went to her beloved.
"Michael... I have finally succeeded in my research. I found a prophecy in one of the books and I do not think that my former brethren know of it... considering the books were forbidden to us... But I've found something... I've found us hope." Selene said in a semi-excited tone.
"What is it? What have you found? You're not making sense Selene."
"Sorry. There is another somewhat like you. According to this prophecy, there is a girl 23 years in age... Her mother killed either by a vampire or a lycan and the girl survived the bite to be born... If we can find her, and impart at the same time the bite of both lycan and vampire, it says her true state will be revealed. It also mentions that to one side she will bring hope, but if the other side finds her that despair will reign. That means we have to find her, but we have to be subtle about it... if the vampires do know of her and find her then I think this war will be over, but it will not be in the pleasant way that we hope for." She explained.
"How do you know all of this? How can you be sure? I want to believe it Selene, but we have to be careful, especially now."
"I know that. I was sleeping one day and something woke me up... There was this whisper in my mind like wind blowing through trees telling me to go to the library... and it led me to those books, specifically that one." Selene took an unneeded breath.
"However I couldn't translate it... I tried and tried, but I couldn't find what angle they were using... then it hit me tonight and this is what I got from it. Something is helping us Michael... and I think it is the force mentioned in the prophecy. Mother Earth, Nature, Gaia... that is the only explanation I can think of... I don't even know where this is coming from Michael... It's like the answers are being handed to me now... I don't understand it yet, but I mean to... Please, just send someone out to look for the girl... She'll be around here, I know she will... But don't look for someone that stands out... You can even just start with the internet or I will... looking up women that died from strange injuries during childbirth and we can go from there... Please." She pleaded.
"All right, all right love... slow down, calm down. I will help you... Why don't you start by researching the woman as you suggested... With as much time as you've spent with the prophecy I'm sure you'll be able to figure out which best fits it and then we'll go from there... just calm down... please." Michael said softly as he drew her into his arms.
Selene was shaking... she felt charged with energy, damned near felt alive again... as if every nerve was awake and ready for action... but she calmed as much as she could for Michael's sake. He would help her, of course he would help her, he loved her. She was once more reminded as to the reasons why she loved him so much. There was something about him, he was so understanding – a calm, steady strength... He was her Rock in the stormy sea of life, and she was ever grateful for it.
Somewhere, someone smiled... and settled in to watch things unfold. Her plan had been put into motion. She was so lucky to have found among those who wanted peace so open a mind. Selene had been easy to reach and easy to inspire. Thankfully she had also had been able to gain access to the necessary books. It hadn't been easy and it had made Selene even more of a target, but it had been necessary and worth it.
The war between the vampires and the lycans wasn't just frustrating, it was damaging and the needless bloodshed had to be stopped. She would offer up her daughter to the cause... the small unassuming young woman would soon learn just why she felt so different and felt no connections to those termed by society to be her family... All of the puzzle pieces were moving together, and with a little help from a mother's hand, they would fit together quite nicely indeed.
