"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Chapter 6:
Days 6 & 5: The Choice and Preparation
It had been several hours since the events in Nevermore. Raven, along with the help of Cyborg and Van, carried Robin into the medical room to have him examined. She had begun to worry because Robin wouldn't wake up and her attempts to enter his dreams were all failures. Isis and Van were both at a lose for words. Neither understood what happened to their ally but both understood that his health was a main prioriety.
When Raven tried to use her healing powers on Robin, Isis stopped her telling her the effect could be negative because her powers had originated from darkness. Raven, at that point felt truly helpless. Robin's condition seemed to worsen with each attempt to revive him. The heart monitor at one point flat-lined, and this caused Raven's own heart to stop momentarily before Isis shook her out of stupor. Slowly though, the machine beeped again, relieving everyone in the room. Isis had called upon her Etherealites in hopes of finding out what had happened but all three were without an answer. Van's Etherealites too could find no solution but instead helped him open a communication link to Etheria.
Beast Boy was the first to faint at the idea of talking to the being who made him. Terra and Cyborg remained silent and stood as far away from the small communication orb as possible, while still staying in the same room. Starfire fell to her face and bowed as she began to recite what she said was the 'Poems of Worship'. Raven stayed by Robin's side and shook her head lightly. She truly didn't care about any Gods or Creators, she just wanted Robin to be okay.
Van looked at each titan with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He saw their level of respect as a sign of how truly pure hearted they were. He had known some people that if they were here would be begging the Gods for materialistic things. He refocused his thoughts back to the orb and waited as a familar face appeared his trainer Odin.
"Odin... it is our ally Robin... or Nameless as Freya, calls him. He is in such a poor state. Isis and I have no clue as to what ails him." Isis watched Van as he waited for a reply but she began to get impatient once it did not come immediately.
"Odin, I wish to speak to Michael or Athena." Isis demanded as Odin stared at her before answering.
"It is simple. Nameless, was trained in the art of hand to hand combat with weapons. Freya and Isiria, being Gods whom used physical attack primarily, thus trained him mostly on the control of swords, punches, kicks, etc. They spent little time teaching him to harness ethereal attacks such as the Ethereal Blast, which is why he is in the current state.He was trained for close ranged battles while Van is more skilled at letting of ethereal attacks from afar, you Isis have a balance. Making you the best warrior we have, but Van has the title of being the most compotent, while the title of the strongest goes to Nameless. As I stated before he was not taught to harness ethereal attack like you two were and if he tries one the result is what you are dealing with now. I'm sure he was warned of the consequences if he ever tried." Odin's answer shocked Raven. He had used that attack knowing this would happen. She wanted to be mad but looking at him lay on the medical bed in his current condition erased that thought.
"Do not worry about him. The condition he's in is a balancer, in a way. He is the strongest and that means every attack is stronger than both Isis and Van's combined. Do not fear young Raven, he shall live." Odin stated upon feeling Raven's despair. She nodded and Odin continued.
"We understand it has begun..." Odin spoke as Van agreed.
"Yeah, the mark is in the sky. Even though I am not from this world... I feel a deep sadness for it." Van lowered his head with a sigh. Isis grabbed the orb and spoke next.
"I wish to know how my world is fairing? Also where is Goddess Athena? I want to speak to her." Isis demanded as Odin shook his head.
"Just like Athena in every aspect. If you must know she and Michael are reading themselves for battle. We have spoken to the creator and he has told us that when the gates of the abyss open we are to come to the realm of man to do battle. The Creator knows that lives will be lost, he wants to limit that number as much as possible." Odin's answer seemed to satisfy Isis so she backed away from the orb.
"Odin what is it that we must do? This is the first of the six days in which the mark shines in the sky. What will you have us do?" Van asked respectfully as Odin closed his eyes and then opened them. He looked to his right and spoke.
"Freya. It seems that Nameless has tried to use an ethereal long ranged attack. He is suffering the after effects." Odin stepped aside and Freya appeared.
"I am coming down there. I have spoken to the Creator and he has given me permission. I will handle Nameless's condition once I arrive." Freya stated in her strong voice as she then disappeared from the orb's view. Van was once again greeted by the white haired Odin.
"I am now going to leave you to prepare. Stay focused and aware at all times, Van." The orb then faded into nothing. Van turned to Isis and shook his head, softly.
"Must you be so disrespectful, Isis?" Van questioned the young woman who gave him a fierce scowl.
"Odin is your God, not mine! I serve only Athena and Michael unless Odin somehow becomes apart of either one, I will not waste my time. I will never bow to a peaceful god such as Odin and Gabriel." Isis walked out of the room and Van sighed.
"Hey V, what was her problem?" Cyborg asked
"She's more of the violent type. Loves fighting just to fight... almost like Athena and Michael two war orientated Gods. Its no wonder the Oblivion chose her." Van sighed as Cyborg gave him a questioning look.
"Oh, sorry... I forgot... the sword on her waist is the Oblivion, I wield the Soul Eclipse, and Robin has both the Vainslay and the Chaos. Our swords were made by the Gods and they're supposed to be able to summon the other four blades the Creator himself forged. The Oblivion would become the Blade of Annihilation, the Soul Eclipse would become the Eternal Blade, Vainslay would become the Destiny Weapon and the Chaos would become the Leviathan. Though none of us, not even the Gods, know how to transform the weapons, we just have them and hope that when their true power is needed it comes to us." Van smiled.
"You sure are optimistic." Raven stated as she stood next to Robin's bed.
"You are too... I mean you wouldn't be standing there next to him if you thought he was dying." Van smiled and Raven sighed. From the window they all watched as a pillar of light connected the sky and the earth.
"It seems Goddess Freya has arrived. Maybe we should go and greet her." Van stated as he stood up.
"No need, I am here." Freya appeared on the opposite side of Robin's bed and faced Raven.
"You are the one who caused him much grief... are you not Raven?" Freya's sea green eyes connected with Raven's lavender ones and she softly nodded. Freya looked to Robin and put a hand to his cheek and smiled. Raven caught this look and for a moment jealousy rose in her before it died down.
"He shall survive but I don't know when he shall awaken. How did such a thing happen? I must sayit is embarrassing to have to ask you mortals." Freya thought aloud as Raven only looked at Robin then began.
"He went into my mind to free me of my inner demon's hold." Raven looked at Freya who looked at Raven showing no sign of emotion. To Raven, had this been anyone else she would have simply ignored them or glared right back at them, but this was a Goddess, the same being who gave Robin his abilities and she knew one wrong move and Freya could eliminate her from existance with merely a thought.
'Oh great, why is she still staring at me? I bet she's wondering how to make it seem as though its my fault Robins like this. Then she'll probably try to attack me... great just great... I can't beat Robin let alone the God that gave him his power' Raven thought and Freya smiled.
"Fear not. I have no intention of harming you. You are important to him and that is the second reason for my coming to this realm. You all are very important to him and so I must prepare you in the little time we have left to fight off Lucifer's creatures." Freya lifted her hand and instantly all of the titans were on the roof of the tower.
"We must begin immediately. But first you must know your enemy.We, the Gods, have classified his creatures into two classes: Demon and Devil. Demons are the more common forms of evil that attack man's realm.They outnumber Devils and are much weaker. The strongest Demon was Trigon. That is the reason he is viewed by many as the incarnation of evil, when he is just an effect of evil. The Devils are much stronger.The fastest way to determine the difference between a Demon and a Devil, is that Devils have the same forms as myself or any of you. Lucifer, decided to create creatures that resembled man and angel to spite the Creator. These Devils are very powerful, but their downfall is that they are all prideful and cocky. None of you should ever attempt to fight a Devil, if you try you will die. Only Nameless, Van, and Isis have the capability of such a task. It was prophecized that on the forth day the demons shall rise and the next day, the devils will come forth. I was allowed to bless each of you once. I am only allowed to enhance an ability in which you already have." Freya's hands began to glow.
Beast Boy, Terra, Cyborg and Starfire were all excited. They all thought for a moment deciding what ability should they have enhanced. Terra stepped forth and knelt before Freya.
"Um...I... would like to be able to uh... have way more control over my powers... if that's possible." Terra asked as Freya's hand came down and Terra's body began to glow for a moment before she stood back to her feet.
"How ya feel Terra?" Beast Boy looked at his smiling beauty.
"Kinda... tingly all over... I feel stronger." Terra then looked around for something to control but Freya stopped her.
"We well work on that in a moment." Beast Boy stepped foward.
"Um, hey...uh... is there like any cool angel-like animals that I could transform into and look extra sexy and also I want fire-breathe so I can..." Freya held up a hand. Beast Boy snapped out of his fantasy to see a smile on her face.
"I made a goddess smile?" Beast Boy said as Freya put her hand on him and he began to glow.
"I will show you what creature you can become later." She spoke as Beast Boy stepped to the side next to Terra. Starfire and Cyborg had been talking and then looked at one another and then to Freya.
"Uh, can we alter a power we already have into something else like, take Star's and her power to throw her starbolts, could that like be changed so she could throw...uh...angelbolts? If so could that work for me since I run on electricity maybe you could make it so I run on uh that ethereal stuff." Cyborg asked as Freya thought momentarily then nodded.
"Yes, she has the ability to throw energy and since both of you are of man you both have the potential for the same power Nameless possesses.That 'ethereal stuff' as you call it is the energy of your spirit and it is very powerful. I can allow your body to run off of it, but because you're body hasn't been altered the power shall be very minute, but it will get the task done when dealing with demons. Come forth both and I shall make it so." Cyborg and Starfire were touched by Freya and after they finished Starfire flew into the air and began to zip around faster than normal.
"Hey Rae, aren't you gonna get your power up?" Cyborg asked. Raven looked at him strangely. She was a demon... well half demon... Freya's power would kill her. She was about to speak but Freya interrupted her.
"I do not have the authority to do so, Cyborg. She has the ability to become a Devil. I was told only to give you all the ability to fight against demons. Raven's powers might even be able to match that of Nameless." Freya spoke as she glanced at Raven who had pulled her cloak up.
"Actually I don't think I'd survive... have you forgotten I'm half-demon?" Raven asked as she turned her back to the others.
"And you are half- mortal. Raven Roth, you are the only true half-demon, half-mortal in existence." Raven turned around to face Freya as she spoke.
"And? Am I supposed to be flattered by that?" Freya once again returned Raven's stare with her emotionless one.
"Inside every mortal there is ethereal power. By manipulating the right emotion this power can awaken. For Van it was love, Isis it was anger and Robin it was sadness. You had to have restrictions placed on you so that you could never reach such power. Hence the fact you can't express too much emotion." Raven's eyes widened then narrowed dangerously.
"You're the reason I couldn't feel? You're the reason I have to lock myself up in my room..." Raven began to get angry as several objects began to glow black.
"Though you have begun to control your emotions somewhat, they still get out of hand at times..." Freya raised her hand and the object no longer glowed black.
"Raven, think about it. You can speak with you emotions meaning if you didn't have that restriction, you could have at anytime called upon the ethereal power inside of you and wiped this world clean. Or even more terrifying is that Lucifer could have gotten to you before you met your friends and brought you to his side. Then, eventually with enough training we would be here preparing to fight two ultra powerful Gods." Freya stated as Raven's anger disappeared and the reality of Freya's words sunk in.
"Woah, you mean Rae is a God?" Beast Boy asked as Freya shook her head.
"No, but she, just like Nameless, Van, Isis and every other mortal, has the potential to. Its just that her chances are much better than yours." Freya stated as Raven began to sink into the ground.
"I need to look after Robin." She disappeared as Freya turned to the remaining for titans.
"Now we must prepare. Tomorrow and the remaining time is all that we have to prepare. Come let's begin." Freya lifted her hand and teleported all of them away.
Again there was darkness... nothing but lonely darkness. Robin looked around and prepared himself. He unsheathed both his swords and looked around. Nothing but darkness.
"What's happening? Where am I now..." Just as Robin was about to put his swords away a woman appeared. She had night black hair that fell to her knees. She had pale skin and a long flowing red dress that had a long black triangle design in the front that reached from her breast down to her waist line. All in all, Robin thought she was beautiful. She woman opened her eyes and gazed upon him with two jet black eyes that had small red pupils. Robin was taken back by this and dropped both his weapons.
"Ahh... the nameless one... oh how I am honored to see you... to meet you...I've waited so long..." The woman began to float toward him. Robin began to back away and then a thought occured to him to fight her. As he reached for his weapons he looked to see them fade into nothing. As he looked up he realized that the woman was right in front of him. She extended her hand and a force seemed to pull him toward her.
"My... nameless one... you always have belonged to me..." She whispered as she wrapped her long arms around him.
Robin began to freak out as the once smooth pale arms began to warp into a more black and aged tone. Robin looked stressed as the woman shrieked and then vanished as her insane laughter echoed through the darkness. Robin tried to focus but it seemed as though this dark prison in which he was in became darker. As a last resort Robin channeled his energy and transformed into his warrior clothing.
The light Nameless's body emited gave some light to the darkness but all he could see still was darkness. Nameless yelled as he tried to push even more light out but stopped when he heard a laugh. Nameless quickly controled himself as he took a fighting stance and looked around.
From the darkness he could see the outline of six figures. Each had a different body build. Then just as he tried to get closer to them they disappeared and in their place stood one lone individual.
Nameless flew toward the image but no matter how fast he flew he didn't seem to get anywhere. The figure stayed the same distance from him until finally Nameless gave up. He took a meditational pose and remained silent.
"I could always show you those images of your dear little Raven and Slade playing doctor... but that would be a waste of my time." Nameless sighed as he knew who it was. Nameless dropped out of his battle mode and returned to being Robin.
"So you just give up? Interesting I would expect more from Freya's and Isiria's prized warrior, Nameless you disappoint me." Lucifer smiled still hidden in the darkness.
"Actually you can't lay a finger on me... you said it yourself... our fight isn't till later." Robin spoke as he restarted his meditation. Slowly, Lucifer allowed the light to encompass his form showing his battle suit off, one that looked very similar to Nameless's. Robin noticed this and narrowed his eyes at his soon to be enemy. Instead if white in places where Robins battle attire had white, Lucifer had gold. It almost seemed to match his blonde spikey hair that still draped over his head.
"Well, Nameless I can't harm you but they can." Lucifer motioned to the six figures who reappeared off to his right in the darkness.
"And who may they be? More of your flunkies." Robin asked as Lucifer only grinned.
"Actually, they are to me what you are to Isiria and Freya. The only difference is that I created them." Lucifer smiled proudly as he looked at Robin with a haunting smirk.
"But you'll never fight them... you just had to play hero and save her... a wasted effort. I will simply pull her back into my hold and your sacrifice would have been in vain." Lucifer smirked as Robin shot him a warning glare.
"What do you mean Sacrifice, I'm still alive. You just have me here in the dark pit." Robin began but Lucifer smiled even more.
"I don't bring you here fool it is the darkness in your soul that brings your mind to this realm. It is the side of you that hates all of existence. That brings you here." Lucifer smiled
"If so why is it you're always here?" Robin asked as Lucifer grinned.
"Fool, that is something only I need to know and something you'll find out later, much later." Robin ignored his rantings and continued to focus.
"It was meant to be this way... You can't awaken until I do. That way you can grow no stronger and we can keep each other company." Lucifer grinned as he displayed an image of Raven.
"Of course we could always just sit back and enjoy some entertainment." Lucifer grinned as Slade appeared and began to rub Raven's womanhood. Robin looked away as he felt anger come to him.
"Why don't you watch and see the truth... I am not creating this image... this is what has already happened. I'm different from the Creator, who believes that kindness and love conquers all. that is a lie. He is to blame for this, for me... for evil. Watch and learn how your woman is pleased by another... I do recall at that particular moment in time you were in your room thinking of ways to tell her your feelings. All of the pacing and thinking for nothing... her heart already belonged to another. Look at them enjoy themselves lost in an art which man believes he created. We experienced such pleasure long before man and angel were thought of." Lucifer's voice had become softer and this alarmed Robin.
Robin broke his gaze at Lucifer to watch Raven and Slade. This was a trick by Lucifer to make him lose control. He had to stay calm. Robin looked at Lucifer once again who seemed to be thinking of something else. Lucifer looked at Raven and Slade then back to Robin.
"They were in love... don't you see... it was the thrill of never being caught, of sneaking around, forbidden love... I hate it... don't you?" Lucifer could feel Robin's thoughts he knew that he shared the same hatred for secrets.
Robin clenched his fists as Raven began to moan loudly as she reached her orgasm. The image drifted away and then another image took its place. Robin knew this scene, it was when they were on the roof and he had caught them.
"Stop please." Robin truly never wanted to see that as long as he lived, but he knew Lucifer would torture him with the image.
Strangely, as Robin opened his eyes he saw Lucifer staring back at him and the image paused. With a flick of his wrist the images dispersed and darkness took its place. Robin was shocked, Lucifer had to have felt his sadness and yet he decided not to continue on with the image. Instead Lucifer created another moment in time and once again Raven and Slade were going at it.
"Know this... after you ascended into Etheria, they kept at it. She felt no remorse for your pain. She continued to be his... slave." Lucifer spoke with no emotion. Robin only looked away and dd his best to ignore Raven's cries of pleasure.
"Sixty-six more times." Lucifer grinned as Robin's eyes snapped open. "That's how many more times she cried his name out in passion, lust, pleasure...satisfaction... love." After those words Lucifer faded away along with the images. Though Lucifer's form was gone his voice remained.
"Enjoy what little sleep you can... Nameless." With that Lucifer's voice faded and Robin fell to his knees as tears of anguish and sorrow flowed from his eyes.
"Raven..." A whisper was all that could escape his lips.
I'm sorry its short. The next three chaps will most likely stay in this similar formatt. Basically, the chap starts out with everyone on Earth dealing with Ragnarok about to begin and then it cuts to Robin, who is in a sort of coma.
