"What if they don't like me?" Nyx whined as she stood with Jack and Flame on the roof. The winter wind blew briskly and Nyx ruffled her wings to shield herself from it.
"It's going to be fine; just relax" he shook her hand assuring her, and continued. "Now put your arms around me" Nyx stepped back.
"What?"
"Come on it's the only way I can take you" She hesitatingly wrapped her arms around him. She let go and turned back to the titans.
"Bye you guys" she waved, Raven grinned.
"Have fun" she said monotonously. Flame cut in.
"Oh we will" Raven glared. Nyx wrapped her arms back around Jack and felt a slight floating sensation. She let go of him to find herself standing in a waterfall. The cool pristine waters flowed generously.
"Are we there?" she asked in amazement.
"We're here" he said taking her hand, "welcome to Dimensions" He led her to the top of a hill, beneath her lay rolling hills and a huge palace. The palace itself gleamed in the sunlight, waterfalls accompanied its walls. He led her down towards the entrance and opened the door, exposing her to a world of white marble. They walked into a common area where the other guardians were waiting.
"Just breathe" he whispered as they approached them.
"Ook" she stammered.
"Guardians this is Nyx; Nyx this is Carme, Rhapsody and Charon." The guardians nodded in reply. Carme cut in.
"Jack why don't you attend some of the duties you missed and I'll show Nyx around." Jack nodded and walked out. Don't leave me, she thought to herself. The other guardians filed out and she was left standing with Carme.
"So why don't we get started" she gestured and Nyx followed her out onto the balcony. "Dimensions is a lovely place to live; you'll see that soon"
"It's just so…" Nyx was speechless.
"Un-urbanized? Yes, since we are in our dimension, our people stay out of what goes on elsewhere; it's very refreshing" she turned to Nyx, "But you probably know all of this" Nyx nodded.
"It's like I saw it in a dream somewhere" she said gazing out. Carme smiled.
"I bet it does, being a guardian isn't easy, but it has its perks" The two walked out of the castle and onto a rugged path, Nyx followed her for sometime until they came to temple. "This is yours; you kept your weapons here a long time ago" They walked inside and Nyx ran her finger over the blades of the various weapons. She came to a mahogany box that Carme opened. "This was yours too" she picked a crown out of the box and placed it on Nyx's head. She turned around and looked at herself in the mirror behind her.
Cover the mirror
Hide in your dreams
Forget what they told you
Forget what it means
A picture worth a thousand lies
The mem'ry and the mirror
Nothing but what came before
Nothing but a closing door
A picture worth a thousand lies
A thousand words
A thousand eyes
"The last guardian" she murmured, "our grey-eyed guardian." She took off her mask and laid it on the table beside her. She continued, "There is one more thing" she led Nyx to the outside of the temple, situated beneath it was a sleepy village. " Your people" she said and Nyx found herself staring at humble villagers. They erupted into cheers when they saw her. "I will leave you now" Carme said stepping back. With a snap of her fingers, she was gone.
Bury my lovely
Hide in your room
Bury my lovely
Forget me soon
Forget me
Forget me now
Forget me not
"Uh, hi everyone" she said nervously. She walked into the crowd and shook the hands of numerous villagers. Some children caught her eye; they had feathers strapped to their arms and pretended to fly; like her. She walked quietly behind them and picked them up in one fast swoop soaring up and over the housetops and into the pristine sky. The kids squealed in delight as she soared skyward and settled upon a lake. She held one child by her arms, while the others sat on her back, and let the girl's feet skim over the water. She took the children home; they begged her to stay, but wished her well. She flew towards the palace; it was perfect she knew this was where she was meant to be.
Cover the madness
Cover the fear
No one will ever
Know you were here
A figure in the hallway light
Returning like a ghost
Something that was left behind
Something in a child's mind
Meanwhile….
The other guardians once again sat arguing. Flame stood up annoyed and continued to speak.
"She wears black garbs and her scythe is black. It's obvious she's with dark forces!" Jack cut in.
"She is not! Just give her a chance" Carme stood up.
"Jack I must side with Flame on this one; she does carry a dark mark. We cannot initiate her yet."
"I can't believe it" he sat back in astonishment while flame cut back in.
"It's probably the titans; I bet they trained her to impersonate a guardian. That Raven girl." Carme nodded.
"She cannot stay here through this trial, and neither can we; it's too dangerous. Jack, Flame accompany her back and we will join you soon"
Bury my lovely
Bury the lies
Bury me under
A thousand good-byes
A shadow from another time
Is waiting in the night
Something happened long ago
Something that will not let go
