Quetzalcoatl and the Wolf

Chapter 84: Tellings

"GODDESS!!" He exclaimed. Verra was still standing on all fours with mouth open wide. Until it spilt in to a smile. "Holy…whoa! Do you even know what this…means?!" He began. Raven looked up. "No. why?" He was left hurt and mainly in jeopardy, having only himself to explain to. "Why? WHY! Why. Oh! I know…!" Lifting a finger to the wind he began his tale.

"Long ago there were two lovely goddesses of elemental beauties forever bound by a world held dear to their creator.

The end." Verra looked up. "Oh, C Mon! Don't you guys get it? Robin and Roku are safe so now we can fix these little shenanigans so they're back to the way things were." Beastboy didn't understand so he stood with his hands to his chest and out in the air after. "How! How is it supposed to be? We CAN'T go back to the way things were —

Not after the rest of…" Beastboy hung his head low to the ground. Raven cleared her throat. "Slade isn't gone, that's all we can think about. But maybe we should listen to Verra. He seems to know the place better than us all combined." Verra and Wiz nodded slowly. "Your words ring true my dear…we must find the goddesses and tell them of the crisis on both worlds. Roku HAS returned."

"Robin? What do you believe would be the right form of action." Asked Starfire from the center of the group, Robin alone by the steps. 'Let's, just go home you guys…" he said frowning. "I've had enough of today. With Slade after my power, whatever…I don't think planning to attack would be such a good idea…I just wanna sleep…Yawn"

And unfortunately for the team, he fell off of his feet in an instant.

"Robin! Ok, Cyborg?, You'll carry, we'll all ride there by magic…" Cyborg scratched his head. "How are we gonna get a ride doing that, Rae?" Beastboy groaned slightly. "I'll get Glice and she'll tell us…Sheesh. Don't you guys ever watch movies? The good guys are always full and powerful." Wizardmon chuckled. "How strange humans are with their stories! I've never heard of such a thing." Verra scoffed back. "That's why you got us."

Raven soon felt a pang of forgetfulness. "Where's Malchior?" she asked. The others looked at one another. "Oh great…Another mission before going home…!" complained Kayu. "Ohh…Yes, I believe we'd thought he was with you." Starfire said pointing at the guardians. Verra didn't flinch from the way she did this but it did make him worry.

"Mal? Mal!" calling out the boy's name he waited for an answer. "Let's go back, maybe the castle has him trapped or something." Kayu said to his cousin. Verra nodded disgruntally. "Sure thing." Rushing now as a wolf with the form of a monster the guardian made his way up the steps towards the castle walls. "Verr! Wait up!" Cyborg called out.

He didn't listen, he was already halfway there.

"Where'd he go, darn…We shouldn't have let him go ahead." Cyborg looked up from staring down. "What if he does know of this castle from his past…" Wondered Robin and Roku at the same time. "Robin, You are well!" Starfire clasped his hand as he smiled rawly back up at her. "Yeah, sorry about back there…" he mentioned. "Guess I'm not fit for travel —

Do you know what's been going on? Has Roku told you?" Raven asked him. The others looked at her. Cyborg looked at her with a furrowed brow. "Why would he know anything if he's been asleep since —

Beacause Roku wasn't a part of Robin's pain, he is still active inside him." Finished Wizardmon. "Friend, The Wiz? Why is Robin not like the Roku's son, Roku?" Asked an interested Starfire. Wizardmon cleared his throat.

"From Robin's own birth he'd been loved and nurtured as human as possible. But from Roku's father and mother he obtained powers of a god, and demon all in one. Robin, is what we spirit folk call a demi-god, half god, half-human blood. But somehow Slade or Roku have managed to tap into both sides and control either one. That is why we must protect him at all costs until the mystery can be solved."

"Oh! That is why we must seek the goddesses of darkness and light?" Wiz nodded to Star. "Yes, they may have the cure and we might have just not known it all this time." Starfire sighed and looked up gulping. "But…" she began.

"What will become of the real Robin?" Beasboy perked up his ears. "Yeah! And how come you can't tell us about them?" Wizardmon shook his head. "I am far to much of a lesser to speak of the good ones in the stars…But I can tell you about the battle we must fight —

I've already read it." Robin looked down at the wizard into his face. "What? No one is to read of the contents Wiz, do sonme dicipline man…" Kayu became a man in form once the words had been spoken to his friend. "Cyborg, be a dear and PUT ROBIN DOWN." Verra had come back as he'd heard everything. "You have better ears than B!"

"Tell us again what you said Robin, explain." Vera sounded almost angry as he waited for the boy to talk to the others and himself. "Well?" he growled. "Go on." Robin was taken down from over Cyborg's shoulder and placed on the ground where his feet did the rest.

"In…In the castle in the sands the one Slade killed off its leader, I was able to find a library for spirits inside." Wizardmon looked at Verra who wanted to jump the kid so he'd never make another mistake again. The wizard shivered. "Alright kid, then what." Verra had been there to ask again what went on at the kingdom.

"In the library, there were so many books —

Yeah, like we haven't been to one. How did you get the book —?

I'm getting to that! I found a red and gold book with a stone, picked it up and opened it as if I'd read it before…Slade…he found me and made me look at a past image of a woman giving birth to a boy. The funny thing was, you know, he looked a lot like me…" Verra was quiet for some time before he'd picked up the pieces. Robin…Do you believe in reincarnation —

What! Wait a sec, hold on…A reincarnate? THAT'S what he is?" Raven wanted to find out more but Robin trudged up the steps some more, there were a lot of them. "He took me to a room, made me sit and told me I had powers like his! I don't! Really." Verra began to transform back into plain old Verravakumu. Kid, I know…after all this time that I can never become human again. I don't want to see you go through the same situation like I did…

Flashback:

"Verra, I believe it is time for your first mission." Roku tucked a blade under his belt in shadows. "Yes my lord, I do."

"Verra. Stand and face me, for it shall be the last thing you'll ever do in this world…"

Ends Flashback…

"What did he mean…"

"Verra! Hey! Hurry up, we're almost to the top!"

"Coming, Bb…"
