My idea for this story came from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I made some of the characters a little occ but they still have their powers like in the TEEN TITANS show.
Summary: A dark power is trying to rise and take control of the universe. The only way it will succeed is to have the ring of power and Raven as it's portal into the world. Can Raven stop these events from happening? With a little help from her friends she might.
Far Beneath the ground darkness laid still. All was soon filled with rage of a demon that seemed to be restless.
"What is taking so long?" said the masked figure. "It should have been found by now."
Then another figure came in the masked figure's presence still covered by darkness.
"My lord," he said, "we have searched everywhere for it and we picked up a trail of where it and the woman is."
"Excellent. I have waited to long for this plan not to succeed. Keep me posted on any further progress."
"Yes, my lord." And the figure was off again.
The masked man walked to a gate entrance. It was branded with some sort of seal that only a few people knew what it was. The masked figure bowed down before the gate in respect before getting back on his feet.
"Soon," he said. "Soon you shall be free to seek your revenge, my master."
(The morning of Raven's B-day)
Raven jumped out of her bed for joy because today was a special day for her. It was her birthday.
"I'm 16! Finally!" she screamed. Then she started to sing the Sweet Sixteen theme song. (Author's note: If you know the song, then sing along! ^_^)
'I'm gonna spread my wings
Sweet Sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet Sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet Sixteen
"Well sounds like someone is excited today," said Arella as she was making breakfast in the kitchen. Then she heard a pair of feet coming downstairs.
"Morning mom," said Raven.
"Morning, birthday girl. Go on and wash-up. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Yes ma'ma."
Arella watched as her daughter went back up stairs to freshen up. She sighed and looked at the cabinet. She took out a box and opened it to reveal a ring.
'I hope you are ready for this' she thought.
(Skip to later on that day)
"Where are we going," said a very confused Raven.
"Kane asked me to come and get you. I think he wanted to give you something for your birthday," said Beastboy.
"Okay, but why is it at town hall."
"He had to see the mayor and was still working."
"Oh, well okay. But can we hurry up. Mom said she's going to take me shopping."
They went into town hall and found Kane standing at the front desk signing papers. He turned around when he saw Raven and Beastboy come through the front entrance.
"Ah, there's my pretty little princess," Said Kane which made Raven blush and thank him while she hugged him.
"Well, come on and get your gift. I know you'll be surprised when you see it," said Kane.
They walked to an upstairs hall and came to a door of oak wood. Kane opened the door and flipped the switch.
"SURPRISE!" came a loud yell as everyone (kids from school and around the neighborhood who knew Raven) came out of their hiding places. They were all dressed in outfits of wizards, witches, and other mystic beings or people from the middle ages. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAVEN!"
Raven was so stunned she couldn't even speak. Then she started to cry, not of sadness but of happiness.
"Thank you," she said as she wiped her tears away.
"Well let's party," Beastboy said turning on the music and everyone started to dance.
"Raven here is your gift," said Kane as he gave her a box. It had a dress with a tiara. "Go put it on."
Raven went to put on the dress and came back five minutes later.
"Wow, Raven you look great. The prettiest Princess I have ever seen," said Kane.
"Thank you. Is mom here?"
"She'll be here in a minute. For now go have fun. It's your special day."
So Raven went to dance with her friends and watched Beastboy break-dance. (Author's note: Think of him dancing from the movie Trouble in Tokyo.) Unknown to any of the party goers, there was a figure lurking in the shadows, watching Raven.
