I do not own Teen Titans, no matter how much I would like to, but I do claim Asgar as my own creation. Anyway here's number six, hope you like it
Chapter 6
Raven's Past
Terra looked at Raven, she was lost in thought, about what Terra wasn't sure but it was starting to make her uneasy. "Raven what's
wrong, Do you know something, If you do please tell me" Terra said imploringly. "That voice you heard was Asgar, he is a divine being
who resides in the sacred realms, he brought you back" Raven said softly. Terra sat there and digested what Raven had told her for a few
moments. Finally she said "This Asgar, why did he bring me back? And are you the chosen one he was talking about?" "To answer that
I'm going to have to tell you something I've only told one other person and I didn't even tell her everything, I'm going to tell you about
my past" said Raven. "Who was it you told before?" asked Terra. "It was Starfire," answered Raven. "Why did you tell her? If you don't
mind me asking," Terra said meekly. "Before you joined the Titans we had to fight a living puppet who called himself the Puppet King, he
stole the boys souls and imprisoned them in puppets while he enslaved their bodies. He tried to do the same to me and Starfire, but
before he could finish the transfer I cast a spell, so instead of being put into puppets our souls just switched bodies" explained Raven
"Wow, that must have been interesting" said Terra with a look of wonder on her face. "You don't know the half of it, we had to save the
boys and I couldn't use any of Star's powers at first, on top of that Starfire couldn't control mine at all, there were cars and street lights
exploding every where, now that I look back on it, it was pretty funny" laughed Raven. "Anyway to be able to control one another's
powers we had to tell each other all about ourselves, there were some pretty close calls but in the end we managed to save the boys and
get our bodies back, and that's why I told Starfire" finished Raven. Terra just sat there smiling at Raven in a funny way. "What are you
smiling at?" demanded Raven. "I'm just trying to imagine you in Star's body, I really wish I could have seen it" answered Terra. Raven
smiled "It wasn't very fun, she has way to much hair, but now back to the point," said Raven. "I want you to promise me that what I'm
about to tell you will stay between us unless I say you can tell some one else" Raven said in a very serious tone. "I swear to never tell
anyone what you are about to tell me unless you give me permission," said Terra solemnly. Raven looked deep into Terra's eyes and
knew she would keep her promise. "Alright then, I'll start at the beginning," said Raven.
"I was born in a place called Azarath, it's a beautiful magical city in a distant realm, my mother, Asella, was the chief priestess of the city
and my father was…… Trigon, an evil demonic being from the Abyss. He threatened to destroy the city unless a mate was provided for
him. Our best sorcerers challenged him, and each of them were destroyed, unable to stand the death of her people any longer my mother
offered herself to Trigon. She traveled to his realm and submitted to his will, she was then allowed to return to Azarath, where a short
time later I was born. From the day of my birth my mother and my people knew I would only bring death and destruction, but they
accepted me anyway and for a time I was very happy. Then Trigon returned, at the time I knew nothing of my destiny, but that quickly
changed, Trigon told me that on the eighteenth anniversary of my birth it would mark the beginning of the end for the mortal realms. After
that he disappeared. My mother then told me the story of Trigon, how long ago he had wreaked havoc in the mortal realms, everywhere
he went he left death and destruction behind. But when all hope was lost a divine being named Asgar stepped in to stop Trigon but even
he could not destroy Trigon, instead he banished Trigon back to his own realm, he then placed a barrier around the mortal realms and in
doing so sealed himself and Trigon out forever. But Trigon found away he could cross that barrier, by bringing a mortal to his realm he
could force her to bear a mortal vessel for himself and that…… is me. Azarath is on the very border of the mortal realms, and it was still
possible for Trigon's power to reach there, that is why he was able to threaten our city even though the barrier kept him out. I decided to
leave Azarath and try to hide from Trigon, my mother tried to talk me out of it but I had made my decision. So instead of trying to stop
me she told me of a distant place called Earth deep in the mortal realms, and so I fled to Earth hoping I was out of my father's reach
forever" Raven finished in a soft hushed voice. "Raven, I am so sorry, it must have been horrible for you to have to leave your home and
family behind" Terra said softly. "It really wasn't that bad, after I came to earth I traveled all over the land, one day I came to this city,
when I arrived I found the newly formed Teen Titans doing battle with a shadow creature, they were out matched by its powers so I
chose to help them, after I banished the creature Robin offered me a place on the team and I've been a Titan ever since" Raven said with
a far off look in her eye's. "But Raven how did Trigon find you and why did Asgar bring me back? What am I supposed to do?" Terra
said anxiously. "I don't know how he found me but now he has a messenger, Slade," answered Raven her voice tight with anger. "I
thought I destroyed him in the volcano" said an equally angry Terra. "We did too, but on my eighteenth birthday he returned to deliver a
message," said Raven. Suddenly Raven's body began to glow and symbols appeared all over her. "This is a warning, it means Trigon is
coming" said Raven softly. "Asgar must have chosen you to channel his power through, he choose you to stop me. Terra you are going to
have to kill me," whispered Raven. "That's not true!" screamed Terra close to tears. "Terra you have to do it, I can't fight him forever,
eventually Trigon will take my body and then all the mortal realms will be doomed" Raven sobbed. "Listen Raven when Asgar brought
me back he told me I was the only one who could help the chosen one. He didn't say any thing about killing you" said a know sobbing
Terra. "There has to be another way, there just has to be". The runes faded from Raven's body and she turned to Terra. "Maybe there
is," she said with hope in her voice.
This chapter feels a little off but I still like it and I hope you all enjoy it too.
