Me: Yeah…haven't updated in the longest time…I'M SORRY!
VampGirl: Calm. Down. Now. Before. I. Hurt. You.
CJ: What the…What is that?
Me: I really don't know and you will have to figure out my muses on your own.
VampGirl: You are more screwed up than us.
CJ: Dumbasses.
Fred: After all these images of pain, have cut right thru you,
I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone...
Then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my warped and scary mind that is in my head so yeah.
Saying of the Day: You say 'dumbass' I say 'I know I am and you are a homo.'
The magic glade was covered in mist as mages and magical animals hid in waiting for their enemy. The two cats crouched, magical wings flared in preperation. Baby Drake peered out from behind Zach and Adriane. Windy circled overhead, eagle eyes searching. Diamond wove in and out of dimensions, there one moment and gone the next, leaving only a trail silver-blue sparkles. Mandius curled around Oz's legs, ready to protect his friend. Storm and Moonshadow were the magical cover.
"Mistwolf magic ain't gonna work." a voice said from seemingly nowhere. The group stiffened and looked around. There was only a flash of blue and silver. Diamond reappeared beside Emma, slitted eyes staring at something only she saw.
'I can see you Ari.' the fox said. The said girl slid into view, rolling her eyes.
"You need to lift the mistwolf cover if you want the witch to come. She never got that magic and cannot sense through it."
Adriane growled at her future daughter as her pack mate materialized along with Moonshadow. The warrior turned dark eyes to the blue haired girl.
"So what do you want us to do now?" Adriane asked with a little sacasm laced into her voice.
"Make magic. Wave the jewels, make sure a flea could feel your magic on the world farthest away." Ari said as if it was obvious. The other mages grumbled and held up their stones. They willed their magic to work and raw power hummed through the air. The trees shimmered with gold, red, blue, green, silver, white, and orange light. As if a switch had been turned, the portal ripped open. Fragments of the dreamcatcher went flying throughout the glade. The animals threw themselves in front of the humans.
Lyra and Casa pummed their wings and prepared to take a full forces of the chaotic magic if needed. Storm and Moonshadow pushed their magic into the warrior's jewel as Adriane whipped up a golden shield. Diamond leapt up and caught dreamcatcher shards before they did damage to the mages. Windy, screeching wildly, put his body in front of Z so the boy would not receive any damage. Mandius, using his magic, circled overhead, clearing away the dust and clouding magic. Ari crouched and swung her wolf stone up, creating a silver-blue tendil of magic. She twisted the magic and made a swirling shield.
The Spider Witch, eight legs clicking on the packed dirt. The dark Drake snarled, yellow-brown fire flaring from the dragon's nostrils. Baby Drake growled from behind Zach, crimson flames licking over the dragon's nose. The two dragons were locked in a staring contest, but the younger would stand no chance in an actual fight. Zach took a protective step in front of his bonded animal.
Adriane, flanked by Storm and Moonshadow, held up her golden wolf stone. Amber magic flared from the jewel and slid over herself, the wolves and the healers.
Kayla pulled her unicorn jewel off the necklace it resided on. Magic coursed through the gem, ready to send to whoever needed it. Kara watched her daughter with facination in her sky blue eyes.
"Where did you get that?" the blazing star asked.
"From you, mom. You gave it to me before you died." Kayla replied, eyes still trained on the witch.
"Is that the unicorn jewel I gave back to the wild unicorn?"
"Yes."
"Cool."
Z held his sword in a defensive position. Windy, eagle wings spred, gave a battle cry, daring the witch to move. The young griffin was ready to fight.
Oz stood with his father on one shoulder and Madius on the other. The elf had his ferret stone in a ready position.
Ari, the most vocal fighter before, now stood in the back with a bored look on her features. Her wolf stone swirled lazily as the future girl yawned and slid to the ground, looking like she was going to take a nap. A phantom outline only Ari could see, sat beside her. Frostfire's spirit snorted as she took in the scene before her.
'You really should have told them that your parents would take care of it.'
'I should have but too late. Plus that final battle you told me about could happen years from now. And when this witch is destroyed, whose to say that the mages still won't die at the hands of the witch from this time?'
The ghost wolf huffed before turning and fading away into the forest. Ari smirked and let her hair fall back against the rough bark of the tree. She reached out with her earth magic and touched the tree's magic with her own. The tree gave a mental smile and reached out to her.
Hello little sister.
'Hello great oak.'
Another fight? The warrior needs to pick her battles more wisely.
'You should tell her that.'
Ari ended her conversation with the tree's laughter echoing in her head.
Adriane snarled, magic humming through her veins. Golden magic seemed to flare from her very skin as the wolf stone shone with magic. The mistwolves, crouching at her side, both gave unearthly sounds, growls vibrating through their chests. Mistwolf power hung in the air like a tapestry. The warrior threw back her head and lat the wolf song tear through her. Storm and Moonshadow both gave howls in reponse. Towards the back of the group, another chilling howl echoed.
Diamond, sleek fox tail flicking, seemed to fade into nothing before she reappeared behind the witch. The fox lept, sinking sharp teeth into the witch's back. The mutated mage cried out in pain as she reached around and grabbed the silver creature by the neck. Before the fox could react and save herself, she was thrown clear across the glade and hit a tree with a sickening thud.
Emma cried out in pain as she rushed towards her bonded animal. The witch reached out with horrible claws to grab the healer, but Emily jumped in front of her daughter. The healer found herself with sharp pinpoints of pain in her neck as she gasped for air. Emma cried out as she stood, torn between her dying Diamond and her mother, who would die if she didn't do something.
A silver and black blur crashed into the witch as the mistwolves snarled fiercely and ripped at the witch's spider legs with razor teeth. Moonshadow latched onto one leg and gave a violent jerk, breaking the limb. Storm, following the pack leader's example, tore at another leg. The witch, unbalanced, fell as the wolves continued to tear at her legs.
Dark Drake, roaring in protest at his mistress' attack, swung his tail and hit both wolves at their chest and sent them flying. They burst into mist before reforming beside Adriane.
Emily went rolling away from the witch where Lyra covered her escape by being a decoy for the Drake. The cat leapt into the air and lunged for the Drake's throat. The dragon swiped and hit the cat, sending her flying to the ground. Lyra used her strength to stop herself from hitting the ground with fatal results. Kara ran to her friend and pulled the cat away as Kayla used her fire magic to force the Dark Drake back.
Zach and Z lunged, both encases in crimson dragon magic as they jumped the witch. Z swung his sword, nearly hitting the witch had she not brought her fist up and used her mutated dragon stone to repell the boy. Zach, using the witch's distraction with Z to his advantage. He brought up his dragon stone and made an arc of ruby magic that cut through the witch's defensive shield. The once fairy snarled in anger as the Dark Drake put himself in front of his injured mistress.
Oz bit his lip as he watched the fight. What could the elf do to help? He was not a fighter like the warrior nor could he heal like ther healer or lend his magic like the blazing star. Ozzie, clining to his son's neck, gave the boy a reassuring squeeze before running to Emily. The ferret scrambled up the girl's leg and stood proudly on the girl's shoulder. The elf boy snorted in irony. His father had abandoned him for the person he had considered his mother. Madius curled his snake-like body around his mage's neck. The creature licked the boy's cheek affectionately.
Ari growled low in her throat. Her entire body longed to fight the one who had killed her pack mate. But the knowledge that she was not supposed to be involved in this war forced her to stay in the sidelines. She pounded her knee in frustration. The wolf stone at her wrist flashed in response to its wearers distress. The blue haired girl silently screamed for the spirit pack's counsul.
You get what you wish for because Ari found herself standing on the glowing spirit trail with phantom wolves running around her, howling their greetings.
'Wolf sister. Run with us.'
"No. I need your help."
'What is wrong young wolf?'
"I need to fight but you won't let me!"
'You are not supposed to fight this war, young wolf. The warrior and the dragon rider must defeat the evil.'
"But once we stop this witch, what is stopping the witch of this time to kill my family? To take over Avalon? To kill my pack? To take Frost away from me again?"
'Frostfire will always be with you as will we. We are the wolves lost to the evil. You hold us and only you can save us.'
Ari's widened as she realized what she had to do. A white wolf pushed through the ranks of the ghost wolves. Frost stood strong in front of her wolf sister.
'My little one. Stay strong and I will return. Even if you die here, nothing is forever.'
Ari nodded. She understood. The spirit trail faded away and was replaced by Ravenswood. Ari turned to face the witch. Her eyes changed from their normal azure to green to gold to purple to brown to a soft yellow to blue to dark blue and back to azure. She held up the wolf stone. The gem hummed with raw power. The other mage's jewels sparked in reaction and all turned to the girl with raised wrist.
"Mistwolves killed by The Spider Witch and whose powers have been wrongly given to me, I release you!"
Power exploded from Ari's wolf stone. The mages raised their arms in front of then faces to stop most of the wind that assaulted their cheeks. Ari got the worst but she stood tall as wolf after wolf ripped from her body. Her eyes were closed to block out the pain as an entire pack of mistwolves, a whole spirit pack stood strong in front of the girl that had housed them. Adriane, Zach, Storm and Moonshadow gasped as they watched in amazement.
Ari, strength spent and body physically drained, collapsed. Her skin was much pailer than usual. The wolf stone at her wrist was a solid white and seemingly dead. The mages from the future went to her, checking that she still breathed. She did, but barely.
The largest wolf in the phantom pack shook his vibrant coat before he raised his head and howled. The rest let the wolf cry tear through them. Adriane, Zach and the mistwolves responded. Baby Drake peered at the wolves with interest.
'Witch! For destroying our pack and ravenging a once proud land, we shall destroy you.' the pack leader called. Moonshadow watched the ghost wolf with interest, perhaps seeing bits of himself in the other.
Dark Drake roared in challenge and the gost pack leapt as one, using their pure magic to drive back the dragon and made it cry in pain. The once proud dragon fell under the force of three hundred angry wolves. The witch looked up in horror before she was engulfed in wolves.
Adriane fell to her knees, apparently amazed that it was over. Storm pressed her silver body against her pack mate. The warrior wrapped her arms around the mistwolves neck. Zach knelt beside baby Drake and hugged the innocent dragon, hoping that by holding the dragon, he would never become evil.
Kara put her hand on the tired Lyra's shoulder as the cat washed the blood on her fur. The blazing star watched her bonded, knowing how close she came to loosing her.
Emily put and hand on Ozzie as the ferret hugged her neck. He wanted to keep her close to him as he could. She had come so close to loosing her to the witch. Had Storm and Moonshadow not acted, she would not be living.
Adriane turned to see if her daughter was okay, but all the future mages were gone. All that was left was a blood stain. But the evidence that they were there, faded. The memory of the battle also left. Time seemed to reverse as everyone went back to what they were doing before a mysterious girl and an overprotective mistwolf came to the magic glade, fighting a spider demon and a dark dragon.
20 Years Later…
An adult Adriane scowled, looking over the glade for the familiar flickers of blue and white. There it was. Adriane whipped her wolf stone across the earth and a girl in her early teens tripped, while a white mistwolf laughed. Arianna Charday glared up at her mother through muddy bangs. She pushed herself out of the mud. Glancing at Frostfire, the girl tackled the mistwolf so the wolf's shimmering white fur was caked in mud. Adriane laughed at the antics of her daughter and the wolf.
"Come on now. Everyone is getting together and you are coming."
"But mom…Do I have to? They always are so smiley and like to annoy the hell out of me. And what about poor Frost? Think she deserved the fawning over she will get?"
'What if I like attention?" the wolf asked. She gracefully stood, shook her fur free of mud and trotted towards the manor. Adriane raised an eyebrow at the girl still in the mud.
"Fine. I'm coming."
The mages watched as the scowling Ari and Zan seemed to stay towards the back while their bondeds happily mingled with the crowd. Kara winked at Adriane and placed a dance CD in the player before sweeping over to pull Zan into a dance. Zach took his wife's hand and pulled her into a dance.
Ari growled. This party was stupid. Slipping out the door, she lost herself in Ravenswood, her home. She could feel the loving prescence her mother told her was the mistwolf Stormbringer. The young mage reached out with her magical senses and let the warm magic wash over her. A firm yet gentle body pressed itself against her and Ari leaned down to wrap her arms around Frost's neck. The next journey of warrior and mistwolf had begun.
