Title: The Lost World Fourth Season Series
Disclaimer: I am so sick of telling you all this: I said I don't own them, can't you guys hear me?!? Of course not, you just read what I write.ok so that was silly. But the basic idea is actually there.
Summary: The explorers hear some explanations from Abigail. M/R
Author's Note: I'm so sorry for all the missing words, and even sorrier for those who shouldn't be there, I'm well aware of them. Maybe that's why some of you told me to get a BETA READER, but I don't think that's the problem at all. It's just that lately, I haven't been reading my chapters before post them, I know, I know, BIG MISTAKE, but it's just that I want to give guys the chapters quickly, and besides I'm really never in the mood to read the all thing again, but I promise that I'll try from now on.
A. Windsor, thank you for you honest opinion, it is very well appreciated.
SierraSunshine, that was one of the, I dare to say best, reviews I have ever got. Funny, and in its way said it all. Thank you sooo much for putting me under your favourite authors, I'm also aware that I'm the only there right now, you have no idea of what that means to me.
TheChosenOne3, you're welcome about the chapter, I really needed to write that, as for the sweet part, I'm the one who's thankful for. Now about the destiny thing, I'm sorry to say this, but I also don't believe in destiny, I believe we're the ones who decide and make things on our own, the part of our fate be already written in somewhere, well I don't believe it, that thought makes me feel trapped, without control of myself, and I'm very independent, so that's not a good thing to think about. But if such thing as fate exists, then I also agree with you, it should be bothering in continuing the show.
Explanations
"Come on Mother, what is it so important?"
"Yeah get to the point; this is all starting giving me the creeps." Finn said as another chill ran trough her spine.
"Very well, where should I begin? I suppose I should start from the beginning" Abigail begun," It all started thousand of thousands years ago with the creation of earth. During long decades the two natural forces of creation coexisted peacefully with one another, but that was just until the chaos arrived. No one knows from where it came but the fact was that it came. The fields were no longer green, but black, burned by the power of flames, the once so called happiness was then replaced by fear and sadness. The balance of life and death, peace and war was broken; it was then that other ways to maintain balance were founded; lines for good, and lines for evil were created, they were to be ruled wisely and firmly by the most powerful living beings, Morrighan to create, and Kartwar, to destroy. But every line must as well be protected, and that's were the Avatars and the Protectors enter, the Protector's rule is to protect the source of life, and the Avatars rule is to protect Morrighan and the Protector. Kartwar has is own Protector in a way that protects the source of death, and also a great army. But about three thousand years ago, a tragedy was to be prophesied, the balance would be broken again. In an attentive way to gain time, Morrighan created a storm of time and space whish prevented the worse, but it's impossible to prevent a prophesy to be fulfilled, so it was then decided to create a remarkable plateau, wish would contain the sources and the world's energy lines an happiness ruled over again. But such peaceful happiness was not meant to last, Morrighan was betrayed and murdered, and the storm was unleashed as also the promise of the balance's corruption. It was back then that the Elders prophesied her return; she would first lead her people back to Avalon, so that they would be safe, and then she would come to Avalon and bring the Protector and her Guardian to here as well. The Protector assumed control and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost."
"Wow. But why all the shivering, I mean, the Protector is doing her job right?" asked Malone, who has been writing the entire story on his journal.
Abigail smiled at the young journalist. She knew her daughter had feeling for him, sometimes even deeper then she thought possible.
"It was about forty years now, that our worries risen themselves again, my mother was the Protector back then. When the son of the Avatar royalty, Jacob and Beatrice was born, she was descendent from an outsider and fell in love with the Avatar King, and they were both very happy, but when their son was little older than a month, they realized that he had a birthmark on left foot with the shape of a black snake, that meant he was Morrighan's Guardian. Jacob decided to raise his son at the same, but that was not meant to be, a few weeks later, Ickan, the leader of the Shadowik, the army that opposes itself to the Avatars, discovered everything, and sworn that he would kill the child and Morrighan as soon as she was born. Jacob and Beatrice fought to the dead to protect their son, and only my mother's interference stopped Ickan from killing the young Avatar king as well. The child was to be delivered to Beatrice's sister, who lived in the outside world, which accepted the responsibility with great pleasure. A few years later my brother, Richard, married Madelyn, a Druid Priestess, and soon she would be giving birth to their first child. By the time she was seven months pregnant, we founded out that the child would be the reincarnation of Morrighan" Marguerite's eyes were wide open. Could it be? No it was impossible. "Then they decided along with the Elders that when the child was to be born, they would take her to the outside world, to be taken care by their best friend. When the child was born, her parents delivered her to Mr. Garlum, who so eagerly accepted the challenge; her parents promised that they would visit their daughter, Marguerite, every week, and so they did. Years went by; I myself married and had Veronica, by the time my daughter was only two years old, news from the outside world came, it seemed that Morrighan and her guardian had found themselves in Avebury, and that a little of her power had been unleashed, the Elders then told Beatrice's sister, Elizabeth, to make them forget the memory of one another, it was not safe, they couldn't risk Morrighan's life or safety to be under constant danger. So Mr. Garlum took her to Paris, and the Guardian and his cousin William went to London to study there. He's life was troubled by his actions, he killed his cousin, who he thought it was his brother, but nothing could compare itself with Morrighan's life, a few months later after she went to Paris, the leader of Chaos, back then Kentvis, localized her and tried to kill her, her parents and Mr. Garlum himself, saved her with their lives. Morrighan's life was once again in danger, who could protect her now? I couldn't risk bringing her to treehouse, Veronica herself wasn't totally save, and I spent almost all of my power to take her away from Mordren, it was not safe to bring Morrighan to my cares, and she couldn't stay in Avalon, my mother was beginning to be weak already, so a solution was found, she would stay in Paris, and my older brother would take care of her, and when it was time, he would bring her here. He paid her studies and in his own way took great care of her. When my mother died and I assumed her place, I was able to banish Mordren, and peace ruled the Plateau again. About six years ago, the Elders thought it was the perfect time to Morrighan knew about the existence of the plateau, so they told my brother to tell her. And so he did, trough several months her watched her, learned how to deal with her, and even made her hate him, he said it was the only way. He told her to come in search of the Ouroborus, and in exchange he would give her, her birth certificate, the one the thing she would sell her own soul to get it on her hands. And she came, the Elders also made sure, that the ones who should accompany her would come as well, and soon an expedition was organized. The Avalon Council also made clear that once the Ouroborus was found it would be destroyed so that no one, especially our enemies would putt their hands on it. And so Xan send one of his men here to get it. But he betrayed, Callum, kept the Ouroborus for himself and sold him in his employer's name. Tree years went by, and your destiny was fast approaching, Morrighan had already sent the Druids to Avalon, and here they are in safety. A few months ago when Mordren came back, and Veronica killed him he was replaced by his brother Mordred, a much cruel person. It was he who made the storm came sooner that we thought, you Veronica, had not yet the power to stop it and the only way to prevent a disaster was to ask for Morrighan's help, and so I did, it was a painful decision, once her power was unleashed she would have to come to Avalon. I proposed her a choice, she could help Veronica and push away the storm and come here, or she could stay where she was, and she simply would die as well as the rest of you. She chose to come here and here we are." Abigail finished.
By that time Marguerite's eyes were filled with tears, of sadness, anger, and revolt. How could they? Kept her away from her parents, from her life and from her happiness, she spent most of her life thinking if it would all be the same if she had met her family, and now that she knew the truth, she could not kept herself from crying.
"Mother..I..you mean.."Veronica was speechless, as well as the others.
Suddenly Roxton stood abruptly from the chair and went away, slapping the door behind him.
Marguerite cleaned the tears that ran trough her face and also stood up.
"I'm gonna get him." She said to Abigail
"Marguerite" she started
"No, don't. I think the so nice Elders had done enough." She sarcastically
And with that she also left. Abigail face showed worry.
"What's troubling you Mrs. Layton?" asked Ned
"They show so much care for one another, and they are so much in love, but Elders would never agree with their union." She said sadly
"Why not?" asked Finn
"Because..maybe he was the one who betrayed her.." suggested Challenger, with a worried look on his face.
"Yes. She trusted him with her life, nobody could believe, Morrighan herself couldn't. The Elders never forgave him, that's why they forbidden her to interfere with his fate, a thing that she so easily disobeyed, she helped him, all of you, trough Roxton's dreams. If the Elders find that out, they're going to be furious, they hate the Guardian even more, because when Morrighan died he came here, crying asking what happened, the Elders accused him, and when he tried to escape, he was captured by that Avatar warrior that brought you here, and he was executed repeating that he didn't betrayed her. She was he's best friend, and his sister."
"Sister?" asked Veronica
"Back in that time, yes. But now she's more than that, but still the Elders think that he's going to do something to her."
"But the Elders protected him, right? Then why did they do that?" asked Finn
"Jacob asked them, made them promise, that they would watch out for him."
....................................
He was sitting near a spring in the village. Nobody could be seen, and he was thankful for that, right now he just wanted to be alone. He heard the sound of steps approaching and looked behind him.
"John.." Marguerite begun
"I want to be alone Marguerite..please leave.."
"No, maybe you'll feel better if you talk.." Marguerite was in front of him, and caressed his cheek, "I.."
"Marguerite I said I want to be alone!" he jerked her hand away.
"John, I completely understand your motives for being like this but."
"Understand? No I don't think you do, I've spent my all life living in a lie!" he shouted
She paled.
"Of course, and I'm the self-centred right? Do you think you were the only one? I hate my own uncle, who took care of me all of these years; I'm some stupid priestess, who possesses great powers, I was the one who always wished to know my parents, thinking that life would be different that way, and guess what, I found out that they there right in front of me, and they lied to me. How do you think that that feels?" she shouted as well as she started crying again.
She turned away and started leaving him, cursing the day, when she fell in love with him.
"Marguerite wait!" he grabbed her arm.
"Roxton let me go! I don't want to talk to you!"
An Avatar warrior that was near approached them.
"Let her go." He said as he putted a sword on Roxton's neck.
"Leave him, Gaalad." Marguerite pleaded
"Are you sure?" he asked, she nodded, then turned his head to Roxton. "If you hurt her in any way, I'll kill you." And then went away a few yards.
"Who's that guy? And why is he so worried about your safety?" asked Roxton, jealous running trough his veins.
"It's not of your business." Marguerite answered bitterly
"Yes it is. I love you Marguerite. I'm sorry..I didn't mean what I said."
"Love?" she asked mockingly, "You say that you love me, but yet you're always hurting me. You call me cold, self-centred, and now you even leave quite clear that you don't exactly trust me the enough to tell me how you feel, and worst you say that I don't understand what you're going trough. If that's love, I don't want to know your disdain or hate." She said sarcastically
"I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry."
"You're always sorry, you were sorry to blurt out on that damn cave, you're sorry of this, you sorry of that. I'm tired of you always being sorry, Roxton. Just once in your life instead of saying you are, prove it."
He looked at her for a second, as the words "Prove it" settle down on his mind. And he did what he thought that would be the only way to make believe his words. He kissed her. She tried to pull away but soon, she surrendered to his lips. The kiss was long and passionate as a kiss could be. When they pulled away he looked at her eyes, and smiled.
"You're beautiful, and I love you."
She smiled sweetly as he pulled her to another kiss.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "He repeated between greedy kisses.
....................................
The next day, Abigail reunited all of them to give them instructions:
"The reason I brought you all here is simple: you must now leave in a quest to find the key to open the box which contain the scripts of Avalon, we have the box, but the key was lost along time ago. You must go to the temple of Malacan, there you'll find the clue to the next temple, and so on, and so on, until you reach the temple of Bewell, there you'll find the one who knows the exact location of the key. But you must beware, on your way you'll find several dangers, but I'm sure that Morrighan, or Marguerite, as you rather call her, will help you, after all she can feel the enemy, Malone you can see him trough your visions, Challenger you have the power of science that will take your friends out of trouble, Veronica you have the protection of Avalon and the Trion, Finn you have the clear and cool mind that does not let itself interfere by emotions, and John, you're Morrighan's Guardian, you must protect her at any cost. Once you get the key you must come to Avalon, so that the scripts can be read."
"Why? What does it say?" asked Ned
"It says the exact location of the sources."
....................................
Two days later they left.
....................................
The Council spoke to Abigail:
"Protector, this is useless." An Elder said
"I don't know, don't you think that maybe there's a chance? We must not loose hope." She said
"Do whatever you want. But the war is coming and nothing can stop it."
