I own nothing but my computer that I paid for on my overdrawn credit card so if anyone tries to sue me than they only get my bills, ha ha ha.....

Okay, with that out the way. This Chapter is a bit confusing but that is the way is it supposed to be, and this really is a Neverwinter story...

I thank you for reading this far, it gets better, I promise. If it doesn't I'll give you your money back, LOL.

Chapter Three- In The End

My eyes were open, I know they were opened but all I could see around was intense darkness so dark that it seemed that no light would ever be able to pierce it. There wasn't a single scent in the air nor any sound, all was bleak. My breathing became quite labored but I was still in control of it, I told myself to move and I started to take a step forward when a blinding azure light rushed toward me and momentarily caused my vision to leave me.

I regained my faultered vision and was in a large room, I think it was a house in or near Avarivase from the fixtures around it's living area that I stood in the middle of. I could not move and just stood there looking at the wonders of this house. It had great shields and weapons of all materialdecorating it.Then a woman walked through me and I noticed her long red hair that flowed down to the small of her back, and she appeared to be carrying something from the way she moved, but I could not tell what it was. From the bedroom opposite of the front entrance walked a man, very tall about six and half feet tall with as much muscle as he had hieght. He cametoward the woman. His black hair with a silver streak just over his ear bounced as he slowly approached me and the woman, I sensed a great peace come over me.

The woman turned and she was with child but still her looks were still very impressive and she stilll had a great figure even though it appeared that she was far along, if I were ever carry a child then I hope to look half as good as she did. I glanced at her bright green eyes and her fair cheeks andall though shelacked a few inchees to me, we could have definitely pased as twins but I knew who she was, this was mother. I had never pictured her this way, women that were pregnant were also unhappy and not pleasent but she had a magnetic smile on her face and other than her mobility problems she was very... normal.

"Zerrah," spoke my father and touched her chin, leaned in and gave her a kiss. He started to walk toward the door apparently he had much to say and could not say it.

"You don't have to go in search of that scroll," she said.

"I have to. It will all start soon and... I have to. I have seen far too much bloodshed in my time for me to sit here and know what is to come her you and my daughter. I must go, I will be..."

"Promise me," she said.

Her father then fall to his knees and looked up at his expecting wife and said, "I pledge to you and my unborne daughter that I will return to both of you ." Then he caressed me, well my mother's belly but in essence me, I began to smile, 'he loved me' and now that I had seen that he did,a tear started to form as he left and then I noticed her. She was shorter than an other Avariel I had ever seen and her wings were almost non existent. She waltz over to my mother and offered he some tea to calm her nerves. My mother agreed and sat down I looked over my shoulder and saw the lady look over her own shoulder and grabbed a vail of red substance and then poured it into my mother's tea. Then she grinned and waltz back to my mother handed it to her...

"Lena, can you hear me," spoke the sweet voice of Delphie as she stroked my cheek, and her speckled face a mere inch away from mine. I could feel her tepid exhaust streaming across my lips. Lacking much light she seemed surreal. Beatific. I rolled over onto my side and a sharp rock dug into my side nearly piercing my leather armor, which caused me to swiftly to my feet. She just stood there, as if she knew something I did not and of course she did, she has always been gifted in seeing things that most of do not. I felt it is part of her naiveté, but I couldn't help but to want to know what she knew.

"What's that face for, I could have been dead ya know," I said. My slight grin grew to a huge smile as she wrapped her arms around me and gave me just about to firmest embrace that I had ever experienced.

"What are you talking about, the great Ashmorlenna yields to no one, even death," she mocked one of my commonly used phrase that I used when I retold quests of mine. "I can almost see you embezzle this tale, 'The great beast stood over ninety, no no, one hundred feet tall and had teeth the size of fire giants…" I gaped at her tathered clothing and her myriad of engraving slices in her maudlin skin.

"Delphie…," I starred directly at her, "what's going on."

"You fell asleep and had a vision of the past…" she spoke mellifluously.

"How do you know that."

"I've seen this day, you are going to leave me for a time."

"Where am I going," I said and she started to walk off toward a huge door that must have been behind the now dead wyrm. I saw this and looked over to Delphie who was smirking.

"I defeated him," I looked astonished, "but that matters little. You are going to met the Keeper, he will aid in our understanding."

I could concentrate she killed the wyrm, how could she do it by herself? I would barely be able to stand my own ground against it. She wasn't nearly a strong enough mage to handle a creature of that strength by herself, unless she was stronger a spell casting than she made known…

My mind went back to me mother and thought about what exactly happened that day. My father left and did not return, my mom was poisoned and then I was born. There are a lot of unexplained things.

"I knew your mother was poisoned. He wanted to kill you, ya know."

"Are you ready my thoughts."

"No, merely reading your countenance. You will understand more soon."

We traveled through several odd rooms with no corners filled with many wonders from statues of bronze, armor of glassteel and weapons that glowed with immense energy and a great song encased us. I started thinking of words for this …

I listen to the music of the ancient ones

A melody that's in my heart

I dream of days that are approaching

And in our future, we're apart.

"Lena, I'm sorry that I haven't told you everything I know, I really grieve over this. I despise you having to learn as you go. But I want you to know that I will never lead you into harm on purpose. I am called to be your guide, to clear your path but not to do what you are entitled to do, okay."

"I understand but why do you have to be so discrete."

"If you only know your path…," she paused, fall to her knees and gathered her hands across her face and began to cry.

I bent down and draped my arms over her and said, "I will be able to conquer whatever this world has for me."

She gathered herself and looked at me, "that's what I am worried about. Let's move on the Keeper is not far."

"So… I am still confused about…"

"He lies directly ahead. He will show you… I am sorry."

"Sorry, for what." I thought about all of the things she must have knowledge of, my adventures, my love (oh, Salzatorre, I almost had forgotten about my teal eyed prince), everything, wow that's overwhelming to even think about for me and for some reason an amiable, soft spoken girl has all these things in her head, that's beyond overwhelming.

"I am bound , by myself and our God to allow the events of this world to unfold as they are envisioned to do so, I have knowledge of things that at times I wish hadn't inside of my mind, much more than you could even imagine. Every night I slept, I dreamt of you, of your past, of you now and I still see your future unfolding before my eyes. You are going to have more adventures than you could ever think possible, more than one lifetime could contain. Goodbye, my beloved Lena, do not forget Avarivase." She grabbed my arm and a long dark blue bladed rapier with a black hilt materialized and she placed it in my hand and ran my left index finger over the word 'AVARIVASE' inscribed on the blunt side of the blade. She leaned in stretching to my cheek and tenderly kissed me as she sealed her eyes closed. As she finished she dematerialized into the dusty air around me and I headed into the large room ahead of me that blasted a huge red-orange light as Delphie left me. More words came to me and I wrote them down…

I reminisce of the way you whispered

That things are worse than they seem.

But now I unearth that I doubt your kiss

That this is worse than that malicious dream

"Chosen One," a deafening tongue spook to me as I approached a very bright light and yet again I was nearly blinded.

"Do you speak to me."

"I am certain of you, you are the Chosen child of Uere that will free us."

"Free us, from what."

"I will start from the beginning," as he said this the surroundings in the room started to appear, it was completely flat painted in dark blue with nothing in it. "The foundation of our plane was as such, 'Everything was nothing and nothing was everything'. Then," then statues of great beauty started to became visible, in the center was one of a huge dragon, "Uere, wished for this plane to be filled with abundant life," then the statues started to fade away, "all things gave birth but for balance to be sustained all things had to die, their time in this plane was limited in accordance to Uere. Many things would be born here and die here. But a few blessed creatures are allowed by Uere to continue on in an outer plane. But something stirred in the cosmos and this plane collided and buckled with our own. The evidence of this are the specters that roam the land, they are life forms that are stuck in a state between both worlds. Then there is you."

"What is so special about me."

"You exist in both planes. Not as a semi-being such as the specters but as you are. You are you here and the same there. This is highly important."

"I'm in two worlds."

"No, you are of two worlds."

"How…is…what…okay." I paused to regain my composure. "This is important in what way."

"The tome you seek is there not here. You are chosen because of this see, you are the one that will save us."

"Okay, tell how to get the tome, so that I can do this."

"If it were only that simple… the other plane is calling for you. I bid you farewell and pray Uere's blessing over you."

I started to faint slowly and I said, "but how… will I…return."

His voice grew away from me as he said, "you will return when you are needed."

I thought of more words of my composition…

And I cry

I think of happy moments long ago

And I cry

I think of sadness we'll let go

And I cry

In time you'll see I believe in you

But I cry

Someday you'll see what I went through
