"So who have you chosen?"

"Casey."

"Her but why, I'd think that Olivia or Elliot or possibly Tutuola would prove more worthy."

"Do you question my judgment Bartemaeus? I should remind you that I am of a much higher rank than you and I can and will kill you if you should be a bother to me."

"Yes-yes of course, it's just I am wondering why she is more worthy."

"She is Holy-Balance reincarnated, the others are mere mortals except Olivia who is of wind's breath but her time is not now."

"I understand, but how will the balance play a part?" questioned Bartemaeus.

"I do not know, I suppose time will tell us the answer though."

"Very well then. Night, tell me what you wish for me to do."

"Bring the Holy-Balance to the gate of paths."

"Yes most high Night." Bartemaeus answered slowly.

"Hey Casey, you wanna come to the bar with us?" Elliot asked.

"Sorry I can't, I have some paperwork I need to finish."

"Bye." Olivia said as she left with the others.

Casey waved goodbye half-heartedly before walking back to her office. Her office seemed empty except for the pile of paperwork on her desk, she had no pictures or ornaments, and she often thought of decorating but never really got around to it.

She felt eyes were upon her; she looked around the office to see if anyone was there but she was alone. How strange, she thought before returning to her paperwork..

"Miss Novak?" came a voice she didn't recognize.

"Uh is someone at the door?"

"No my dear balance I am right here, can't you see me?"

"W-what who is this? I-I am in no mood for games show , she thought before returning to her paperwork..

"Miss Novak?" came a voice she didn't recognize.

"Uh is someone at the door?"

"No my dear balance I am right here, can't you see me?"

"W-what who is this? I-I am in no mood for games show yourself!" Casey said, she tried to keep her voice level, but she was afraid and all her colleagues had left the precinct. What was going on, maybe she was just hearing things or maybe she was going crazy.

Red cloth appeared in front of her and then dropped to the ground revealing a tall man. The man appeared to be in his thirties, he had clear blue eyes and shoulder length brown hair. He had a square jaw and his eyes gave an air of confidence.

"Get out of here now!"

"Shut up fool the walls have ears! I will not bring any harm to you oh Holy-Balance."

"My name is Casey Novak, and get out of here before I call for help!"

The man moved like a shadow, and put a finger to Casey's lips, "Shh we must go, I promise you, I mean to bring no harm. You must understand that lady fate has chosen you to aid us in our quest, please come with me."

"No I don't understand and no!" Casey yelled.

"I'm sorry oh Holy-Balance but you have no choice." The man said, then he took off a long red chain he wore around his neck and through it up into the air. It fell around them and then landed on the ground. "We wish to go to the Gate of Paths."

Red light shot up from the chain; Casey closed her eyes because it was blinding her. When she opened her eyes again she was shocked at what she saw. She was no longer in her office but standing beside a large black gate, many roads stretched from all directions until they finally met at the gate.

Casey couldn't take it anymore, she thought she was dead or was going to die so she began to weep.

"Darling," came a new and unfamiliar voice, "Are you all right? Did Bartemaeus cause you any pain? Oh deary this must be terribly confusing for you."

"Huh…?" Casey said lifting her head up to see this new person. He appeared to be a young man around her age with long flowing black hair and milky brown skin. His eyes were a lime green color and immediately Casey could tell he was powerful and of great importance.

"There, there now." He said putting an arm around her and then bringing her down to the ground to sit down. "Shh I will explain everything my dear." His voice sounded comforting and Casey took a few deep breaths and stopped crying.

"Am I dead?"

"No-no. Casey my dear girl, you are the reincarnation of the Holy-Balance. I live in a dimension that lives side by side with yours. All this paths leading to the gate are paths from other dimensions. Are you following so far?"

"Yes, uh I'm s-sorry but who are you?"

"Night. Yours and my dimensions used to be only one dimension but when time was introduced to the universe the dimension was split in two, my dimension is host to the spirits of the trees, rivers, the elements ect."

"…okay…"

"Now I'll tell you how the story begins." Night said, "Lady Fate controlled the fate of everything in the universe but one day she decided she wished to live a mortal life, because she believed immortality was no life at all."

"So you're saying that Fate is now a mortal?"

"Yes, um anyways, once she left people and spirits controlled their own fate and all order was lost people began to make horrible decisions. So you the spirit of balance was created along with the judge together you decided that when someone did a horrible act. All went fine until people began to rebel, eventually this gave birth to Lady Death and Prince War. With war we were doomed, especially now that we could die thanks to Lady Death. In order to keep balance in the universe you my dear had to go live has a mortal where you would eventually take up you're role has balance when you become a prosecutor."

"Okay so why am I not back in the 'Land of the Mortals'?"

"Because the war is getting out of control and we need more people on our side."

"Hmm okay but why should I care, I'm a mortal and this doesn't effect my world."

"O but don't you see every thing in you're world is tide to a spirit in mine, if one world parishes so will the other."

"But why don't you just bring back Lady Fate?"

"Fate was just an attribute of a spirit, however she lost the power of fate forever, she is no longer Lady Fate just another mere mortal."

"Who is she on earth?" Casey questioned wondering if she might have met her.

"Alex Cabot."

"Holy shit." Casey said, she usually didn't use such language but then again none of what was happening was exactly 'usual'. Casey held back a shiver; she had always thought that with her job she'd be ready for anything but taking part in a holy war made her incredibly frightened. "Are there any other reincarnated spirits on earth?"

"Yes the North winds daughter known as 'the winds breath' is Olivia Benson and one of the 7 spirits of friendship is known as Carry McLaura."

"I do not know Carry but as for Olivia, will she play a part in this war?"

"The Wind spirits have yet to take part in this war until they do, she shall not be needed."

"I can't do this, I mean people are going notice that I'm gone, I can't die! This isn't fair!"

"Time does not pass the same way between dimensions, anyways you're body is still on earth it will appear as if you're sleeping and also even if you are in my dimension for years it will only be a few seconds on earth."

"What if I die here?"

"Then your body will has well, and um keep in mind that if when you get back to earth if you tell anyone about this, they'll think you're just insane seeing has you'd have been asleep for a few seconds."

"Great no one will know of my glorious deeds." Casey said well frowning slightly.

"Enough explanation lets go." Bartemaeus said.
