Chapter11:

Reflections and Enlightments

Raven reappeared infront of her room and collapsed on her knees.Somehow she managed to open the doors and drag herself to the bed.Her blood stained the sheets as she entered her subconcious and commanded the raw,untaimed power to keep her alive and heal her wounds.In this dreamlike state she realized why was she still alive.Ensis wasn't a monolite personality.He denied his demon side.Raven shifted her inner eye to his past,and she saw countless warriors begging for mercy at his feet,his constant agony as he searched for a friend,and his blood stained path.

Then there was darkness and Raven's eyes went shut.She fell into deep trance.

On the other part of the city Ensis was in a coma.The coma helped Hyperboreans regenerate and it lowered the body's need for oxygene at minimum,keeping them alive.Blackfire however didn't know that,and was flying at her maximum towards Ensis's ship to get more medicine.Her eyes were bloody and her body was sore.

Ensis was peaceful in his bed and his body slowly regenerated even the scaryest wounds.Internal bleeding was usually lethal even for Hyperboreans,but Blackfire was a smart girl and she gave him all the stuff she thought were necessary.Ensis started to think about his fight and after a minute he realized something was terribly wrong.He's thinking.

'What is going on here?Did Raven put a spell on me?If I'm thinking it means my body is wasting energy on my thoughts…and that coma doesn't exist…this is some form of trickery!' He turned around and saw nothing but dark.

'I'm having a vision!' he asked himself bluntly 'It's impossible!Mother never came to me in such a state and I didn't meditate…Raven!She's playing with me!' he roared and reached for his light saber.

'Calm down.I brought you here.' He heard a voice and turned towards the source,ready to attack the intruder.

His eyes grew wide and he lowered his saber in amazment.The intruder looked exactly like him…only difference was that he had four red eyes.

'Who the fuck are you demon!' Ensis asked with rage.

'Easy.I am you.I'm your demon side…the side you try to neglect and deny.'

'You are false.You do not exist.' Ensis claimed.

'Oh,but I do exist…well,I am using your imagination to materialize myself but I'm real as any part of you.' The entity said dead serious.

'So…you are something like a part of my personality?OK,I can accept that.Everyone has a evil side.But what do you want from me?' Ensis asked with suspicion.

'Use me.Use me like all the Emperors did.Take my power and crush your enemies!Raven wone only because she knows who she is,and you tried to forget me…and I am Mothers power at it's purest.Find the High Priestess and she will help you.' The entity said and dissapeared.

'If I talk to Lemmy about your claim she'll try to kill me,and my people would cease to follow me.' Ensis said into the void.

'Ask her about the Book of Blood,and everything will become clear to you.' The voice spoke from nothingness and continued 'Here…a sign of my good intentions.'

Ensis felt his body tremble and he was thrown out of his coma and with shock he saw purple light shining around him.The light shivered and dived into him,and he almost screamed as he felt his lungs being ripped from the inside.The power rushed through him,healing all his wounds,old ones and new ones.After two painful minutes he stood up and carefully watched at his body.Except old scars everything was as good as new.Even his lungs.He lustingly took a deep,deep breath and smiled.Then he did what every full blooded man would do.He lighted a cigarette.

About twenty minutes later Raven was on her feet and she felt rather comfortable as her old hooded self.Her power source is her heritage,thus she didn't need to stuff herself with food to regain strength.But she did make some herbal tea.She felt nice inside.The boy she met is…wonderful.

'Damn.I'm beginning to sound like Starfire…' she thought and chuckled.

With shame and blushing she realized that she's going on a date tonight.Her teammates didn't really notice the change in her,and she was glad for it.She really changed…if someone asked her out on a date a year before she would just smile at him and turn away.

'But he didn't ask me out…not like other people would.He excepted my challenge,and even if he thought I would be easy to beat he gave everything he had in our fight…and almost won.Not even Robin goes that far,ravaging his body in a fight.He was prepared to die,I could feel it!Shoot,i don't even know his name…probably something with ''fire'' in it…' Raven thought with happiness(to certain level) and came to an idea.She went towards the Towers training room,and found Starfire,just like she sensed her.

''Hello Star.Can I ask you something?'' the witchborn asked the alien girl.

''I would be happy to asist you with my answers,friend!'' Starfire said with joy and stopped punching at a large hunk of metal that was Cyborg.

'Thank you Jesus!' He thought and made a fast getaway.Curse Robin for the stupid idea of him and Starfire sparing.

''Your enthusiasm is endless Star.'' Raven said ''So I hope you can tell me something that has been bothering me.Do you know who was the guy that slaughtered those policemen?You were filled with rage.''

Starfire levitated just above the ground,feeling uncertain.

''I hope my knowledge is wrong,friend…but it seems he was of the Hyperborean race.'' The alien sister said with fear.

''And?Who are they?'' Raven asked with impatience.

''Good.Than I must tell you the whole story.It all began 4000 years earlier…

Blackfire stormed into the room and almost fell over when she saw Ensis.

''What the fuck is going on here!You were half dead when I left and now you're jerking off?'' She screamed at the suprised male who tried to cover himself.

''I'm sorry!You didn't need to see that,but I need to tell you something so just forget it.'' He answered calmly.

''Just forget it!I flew all the way to the moon and back just to find you beating your meat?You weren't even hurt!Admit it!'' She was face to face with him and she was furious.

''You are sooo pretty when your angry…'' He purred.

''Ensis.'' She flashed her eyes ''Don't make me hurt you.''

''…''

''Okay,okay just tell me what happened.'' She said,tired and unwilling to fight.

''I will.But what are those things in your hand?Are those my memory discs?''

''Oh yeah,there is a message for you,I can't read it.'' Blackfire said and sat on the bed.She jawned.

Two minutes later Ensis turned to her.

''Both of our armys are ready and are waiting for our command to attack Tamaran…'' Ensis silently spoke and grinned.

NOTE! I'm going away for ten to fifteen days so this is the last chapter for a ''few'' days.There are important things to settle.R&R
