Of Both Worlds: The last Guardian
Recap on chapter 18- "You're right; I was scared. But I'm not anymore" she stood up. Her uniform had changed from black to white. The tattoo changed on her arm; it now read Ad Lucem. The scythe had also changed to the same emblem. "Flame; I have to destroy you" she slammed the scythe into the ground and the electric force field surrounded her and charged into Flame. It threw her over the edge and the sky cleared. The flaming walls that once held the guardians and the titans disappeared.
"The last guardian" Raven murmured as Nyx turned around. She was garbed in white. Her internal struggle was over; good had overtaken evil. The old world is back, a voice said at the back of her mind. She walked over to the group.
"Nyx I am so sorry" Carme apologized.
"Yeah; ditto" Jack said sheepishly. Raven put her hand on Nyx's shoulder.
"I knew you were destined to bigger and better things"
Chapter 19- Beginnings and ends
Titan's tower stood; yes it still stood, covered in ash. The fiery battle that had taken place the night before left it covered in soot. The guardians helped in rebuilding it. Charon was summoning water in trying to rid the structure of its filth. BB watched in awe.
"Cool" he said scratching his head. Robin and Jack swept the dirt away.
"So what'll happen now?" Jack looked up.
"Well, she'll train to be a guardian and will live at Dimensions"
"Is training hard?"
"It's not easy but she'll get through it" Robin nodded.
"She learned from the best"
Nyx stood in her room, surveying what she hadn't packed. She busily threw clothes into her duffle. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. The door opened and Raven and Starfire walked in.
"Friend Nyx; how is the packing of clothes?" Nyx nodded.
"It's well going" she looked around "This place is like home"
"From what it sounds, looks like Dimensions will be home"
"Yeah" she looked to Raven.
"Raven?"
"Yeah?"
"What if I don't have what it takes?" Raven laughed.
"Believe me, if you can defeat a guardian; you can become one" Starfire cut in.
"Nyx, will we ever see you again?"
"I'm sure you will Starfire." Raven motioned towards the door.
"Come on, let's go" The trio filed onto the roof where the guardians waited. Nyx turned to the titans.
"Well I guess this is good bye" she looked around longingly. She would miss them.
"Nyx, I'm sure you'll make a great guardian" Robin said assuring.
"Yeah, with your Raven-ness you'll kick butt!" BB chimed.
"They won't know what hit 'em!" Cyborg added.
"Thanks" she said meekly. Jack broke their goodbyes.
"Nyx, are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be" she walked over to the guardians.
"Nyx, Dimensions is waiting" Carme smiled.
"Wouldn't want that" she turned to the titans, "you guys have been great, if there's anything I can do…"
"We'll let you know" Raven smiled. Nyx stepped back into the guardians and they disappeared. To what, who knows? A chapter of the girl's life was over and a new one was beginning. A prophecy had been fulfilled and an identity discovered. The last guardian had been found and a hero was revealed. Nyx was a guardian in the making and a revered Titan. A child of both worlds.
