The standard greeting for the Lone Power is "Fairest and Fallen, greetings and defiance!" Everyone says it differently- scared, brave, defiant, angry, upset, sad, even cheerful. The one thing they all have in common, though? They all make the Lone Power very, very mad.
The final "evil" splinter of the Lone Power was confronted by what looked like almost every wizard in the universe. He was in His typical costume- a young red-haired man; tall, handsome, and wearing a long black cloak. A solitary wizard stepped forward and started the time-honored speech. "Fairest and Fallen…"
"Greetings and defiance, I know! Can't you ever think of something else to say? How about a nice 'hello, how are you?' The whole "Fairest and Fallen" thing just makes me even angrier. I mean, how would you feel if every time you met a wizard, they shoved all your failures in your face and taunted you with the knowledge that you used to be welcome in the universe, but now there isn't a single world that would give you the time of day? Let me tell you, it isn't pleasant! You know what? You win. I give up. Just don't say that again!"
With that, the Lone Power vanished in a flash of bright light. A young wizard with long blonde hair and suspiciously familiar grey eyes said "Well, that was easy. Come on, baby. Let's go get ice cream." She picked up a walking lap top and vanished along with the rest of the slightly confused wizards.
A/N: The blonde wizard at the end is Dairine and Roshaun's daughter. I had a name for her, but then I forgot.
