Of Both Worlds

Chapter 3- A Gift and a burden

"Ugh my head" the girl sat up from the cold metal table. She looked around at the vastness of white. The titans stood at her sides; a robot, a green dude, a tall girl, a Goth and a costume gone badly.

"Are you ok?" the masked boy asked genuinely extending his hand to her face. She swatted it away.

"I'm fine" she muttered trying to roll off the table. She found she was strapped to the it. She groaned and was about just snap the binds when the robot pointed his cannon at her.

"Don't try it" he said

"Is it a custom to strap your guests down or am I just special?" she retorted

"Who are you?" the green thing asked

"Nyx Night" she replied

"Nice name; it means 'dark one' in Latin" Raven monotonously responded

"How'd you know" she asked softly; she raised her arm which was covered in black ribbon; however, the ribbon had come undone and a tattoo on her arm read: 'Banorum ET Malorum'. Raven gasped and quickly turned to the rest of the group:

"The rest of you; leave" They looked slightly shocked but left nonetheless.

They filed out and Raven turned to her.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know"

"The tattoo what does it mean?"

"Good versus evil", she stopped for a second, and Raven undid the bindings. She sat up and looked down.

"I'm part demon" she said ashamed

"That makes two" Raven said putting her hand on her shoulder. Nyx looked up.

"You?" she stammered

"Yes, like you said it is a gift and a burden"

"How do you deal?"

"I take it one day at a time"

"Oh" she looked down, Raven stopped.

"The other part of the tattoo; 'malorum'. What does it mean?" She looked at her for a second and sat down next to her.

"You're not just a demon are you?" she asked

"No; I'm also an upper being. The powers seem to switch, I don't know why I have them"

"I can help, but you're going to have to relax" She placed her hands on Nyx's forehead and meditated.

"Azareth metrion…" she sank into a trance and was instantly standing at the scene of a horrible accident.

Flashback….

A monk read from a scroll as a child was held by another.

"The last guardian; a prophecy. One who is immersed with wings of seraphs but is cursed with demonic powers. Should she not find her destiny unaccompanied; the earth will roll into darkness. There is one however that can assist; the dark winged one." Raven gasped.

"May fate bring you two together; for Earth's sake" with this the monk turned to the child and smiled. "Nyx…Night"

Raven fell off the table and looked at the masked girl.

"I can help you; let me help you"

"You can help me find my past?"

"Your past…and so much more" Nyx stared and gaped. Suddenly a voice spoke at the back of her head. No, she will lead you to destruction.

"No" she said coldly standing up; she spotted a window. She darted to it but raven barred it psychically. Nyx blocked it and jumped out the window and unfurled her wings.

"No" Raven said.
