"Hold on. If you are Lydia's parallel, then who is mine?" Allison asks looking confused at the dark goddess.
"You, huntress have the parallel of-" Nox starts getting interrupted yet again. She would be upset, but she is glad that everyone is catching on.
"Artemis." Faith answers her brow furrowed connecting the dots from Allison's fighting skills to natural bow talents. "Fitting." She says quietly. Earning a smile from her sister.
"If this is true, how come Faith doesn't have a parallel?" Dawn asks.
"Finally a question only I can answer." A chair popping out from thin air for Nox to sit on. "It was for seen centuries ago that a time of great strife would give birth to a land full of female warriors. Those warriors were the product of a powerful Wiccan that suffered great loss, two chosen ones that carried the warrior's line, and a key that once opened a world. Of the chosen two one carried Artemis's line, not for herself for her younger half that she sought to protect. The one born of my line would suffer pain from those who shift under the moon. They would find each other and do something that the powers that be couldn't, equally balance the scale that is good and evil." She finishes a smile on her face.
Everyone was quiet at the goddess's revelation.
Allison and Lydia squeezed each other's hands.
Willow gulped.
Dawn started to play with her hands nervously.
Buffy and Faith shared a look of apprehension for the younger couple.
"Are we gonna die?" Allison asks looking scared. She remembered that most of the prophecies that she read in Willow's books always ended someone's death.
"For now, there is nothing for you or your counterpart to fear. However, a time will come for a battle to take place and many will be lost, child." Nox's eyes looking crestfallen. "Now is not the time to fear the future for it can change, so until then study these." Nox throws two books in Allison and Lydia's direction.
"I will return to you all at a later time before the battle is to take place, when that happens Artemis will be at my side." Nox says her face glowing at her partner's name. "Now if you will excuse me, I have other things that I need to tend to." She says sounding cheery. The chair beneath her is now gone and she is now standing graciously.
"Does this mean that you will leave my brain alone?" Lydia asks.
"Yes child. You have figured me out and I will not appear to you unless you or anyone else in this room calls me." Nox laughs. "Oh and Lydia." The goddess gets the young girls attention. She mumbles something in Greek and Lydia feels a weight lift from her shoulders. "No one will ever harm you or anyone else's head in this room." She says and pops out without even saying goodbye.
"Well, that was fun." Buffy quips.
"Gotta love Gods. Right, B?" Faith asks smiling remembering Glory.
"Ugh, I almost forgot. I don't know where she went to school for God training, but she certainly failed at manors and exceeded at the vague." Buffy laughs.
"That's probably why she needed me to get back home." Dawn joins in. It felt nice to laugh at those past memories even if it resulted in her sister's death and ultimately her resurrection.
"Who's Glory?" Allison asks wanting to be let in on the joke.
Willow, Dawn, Buffy and Faith took turns in telling Lydia and Allison about Glory. Throughout the story they laughed, teared up and clapped at all the appropriate parts. The two girls wanted to meet the rest of the gang that helped them defeat Glory.
"Xander lost an eye after the battle with the first. He should be back from England with Giles in a couple of weeks, so you both can meet them." Dawn said excitedly.
It was never said, but the room became opaque and both Allison and Lydia figured out that Anya, Tara and Spike were all dead.
Dawn then launched into another story of the Christmas before Mrs. Summer's passed away.
After the groups exchanging of many stories of battles once fought and loved ones lost. The group shared a yawn and decided it was best to get some more rest, since everything was pretty much worked out.
Lying down with Lydia curled into her stomach, Allison stroked Lydia's strawberry-blonde locks a content smile on her face even though the other girl couldn't see her.
Lydia let out a content sigh turning to face her taller counterpart.
"You make me so happy." Lydia says looking into Allison's eyes lovingly.
"Yeah? You make me happy too. You are my universe Lydia Martin." Allison smiles at her girlfriend giving her a kiss on the lips. They pull away staring at each other.
"My huntress." Lydia declares.
"My goddess." Allison chimes back.
The two stare into each other's eyes for what feels like forever before Lydia speaks.
"I love you, Allison Argent." She says stroking the taller girl's cheek.
"I love you too, Lydia Martin." She replies before kissing Lydia heatedly.
Their tongues move together in heated tango, Allison bringing Lydia closer by her hips and Lydia melding to her by grabbing the back of the dark haired girl's neck. They continue like this for several minutes as hands drift to under shirts and lightly fiddling along pantie lines before they break away for air.
"Are you sure?" Lydia asks looking shy for the first time since Allison has known her.
"I'm sure." Allison nods a smile on her face before she capture's her partner's lips once again.
"They found you." Artemis says as she feels her partner's hands encircling her waist for an embrace. She standing on their balcony that leads into their room patiently waiting her companion's return.
"Yup, you would find them promising, my love." Nox replies giving her partner a kiss to her neck.
"So, it's possible that the danger could not come along, since they figured you out earlier, right?" moving more into her lover's embrace.
"Yes, my love. No harm shall come to our parallels or their loved ones." Nox sounding positive at the outcome of her small journey.
"Good. More time to have you to myself." Artemis says possessively in Nox's arms looking into her companion's Navy blue eyes. "I missed you." She says kissing her other half.
Breaking away from the short kiss. "I missed you too." Nox replies love shining in her eyes.
"And the slayers?" Artemis asks before they take this any further.
"I think it would be a good idea to keep an eye on them." Nox laughs.
"Agreed." Artemis says. "Come lover. Let us lay in our bed and enjoy each other's company." Taking a soft hand in her own and leads the way from their balcony that watches almost of Olympus to the inside of their bedroom.
