Chapter 1

600 Years Later…

Quinn cracked her neck trying to get the kinks out. Wincing, the blonde reached up and rubbed the back of her neck. Then, she twisted her stiff back and stretched out her massive wings to their full extension. It's been days and still nothing in either realm Quinn thought with a groan. She glanced back down at the round table in front of her. It had a miniature scale model of a world, with animated features. Nothing in the human world. Let's see about our world, Quinn thought as she lifted her hand and passed it over the table causing the scenery to shimmer and change. After a moment or two of scanning, Quinn sighed and yawned. She grimaced when she felt the old scar over her right eye pull slightly. Though it had healed completely, the scar remained as a reminder for the blonde. She stepped away from the table when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," Quinn's voice rang loudly.

Santana sauntered into the room and stepped in front of the blonde. The brunette placed her fist over her heart in a salute, "Commander."

Quinn quirked her eyebrow, "So, my second does know how to salute. What a pity no one is here to bear witness," she stated dryly with a small grin.

"Of course I know HOW to. I just choose not to," Santana grinned, "…but I am on official business. The High Council has requested your presence."

Quinn snorted and stretched, "This will be interesting. Does that mean I need to be in full regalia?"

Santana shrugged, "Most likely."

"Very well, I'll meet you in ten minutes. Oh…and don't forget to put your armor on. As my second I need you there."

"Oh joy…" came the dry response before the Latina disappeared.

Dull hazel eyes rolled at her friends antics and headed toward her own room. She undressed herself and pulled on her official golden tunic, and pulled on a thick brown belt. Next, she lifted her silver breast plate off the armor rack and lifted it over her head. After securing the straps on the side of the bodice, she picked up her curved silver hilted sword off the rack and slid it over her shoulder into the built in sheath of the armor. Next, she put on her shin guards and bracers; both of which were platinum silver. The blonde ran her fingers through her hair and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes looked over her pitch black wings looking for stray feathers. Nodding to herself, she strapped on boots and left her room to meet up with Santana.

Quinn nodded in approval at the woman's appearance. She looked similar to the blonde, with the exception of the red tunic.

Santana whistled at Quinn and winked, "Commander, very hot."

Quinn shook her head and didn't even reply. She pushed her way into the meeting room. The room looked much like a human chapel, with benches intended for the, not present, audience but at the front were six individuals seated at a wooded semi-circular table.

Quinn and Santana walked down the center aisle and stopped at the front. Quinn stepped forward and raised her fist over her heart and bowed her head in respect.

"High Council," Quinn stated letting her voice pitch and echo throughout the chamber.

The High Council member directly in the middle stood up and addressed the kneeling woman. "Commander, rise we have much to discuss," The Speaker's deep voice said before seating himself again.

Quinn relaxed and sat herself, with Santana next to her, at a table centered in front of the council members. Once seated, the Speaker of the council addressed Quinn.

"Commander, I'm assuming that you've been in the Scrying room searching for any disturbances from the Void? Have you found anything?" the Speaker asked as his brown eyes scanned Quinn. The Speaker looked young, but that's only an illusion because the people on the High Council are some of the oldest of their kind.

"Yes sir, I have. For the past week, besides minor incidents, the Void have not initiated any confrontations. Quite frankly sir, it bothers me. In my entire existence I've never seen them so quiet." Quinn stated firmly.

"That's what we have been worried about as well. They have never been this docile. Recently we received word that something massive was assembling itself. As a result, we sent for a seer. Apparently, in the human realm a child was born. She, according to the Seer, holds a power of the likes that have never been seen before. This is why we've summoned you here."

"With all due respect sir, I'm not following…" Quinn said lowly.

"Some of us have expressed concern about assigning you to this duty," the Speaker glanced to his left at other members, "…but you have never let us down. Even over the past several hundred years. That is why we need you to go to the human realm and find this woman. By now she must have reached maturity. Find her and protect her at all costs. If the Void were to get their hands on her, the Balance will be tipped and not in our favor. Do you understand Commander?"

Quinn nodded stoically, "Am I to reveal myself to her or be watchful from afar?"

The Speaker looked to his left and right, silently conversing with the others. With a final nod, he turned back toward Quinn. "It is up to your discretion. Whatever happens, do not let her taken. That is the most important part. Now, unfortunately you cannot walk around the human world with your wings exposed. Also, you cannot wear your armor at all times. When we send you there, there will be a secure house near where the girl is. Human clothes will be waiting and a bottle of pills will be there as well. These pills will allow you to hide your wings into your back. I hear it's quite an unpleasant feeling, but surely you'll have no problem."

Quinn grimaced and ruffled her wings nervously, "It will be done. When do I leave?"

"Immediately," the Speaker replied.

Santana frowned and stood up, "Sir? With all due respect…may I accompany my commander? If this woman is to be protected wouldn't two of us be a better idea?" Santana stated, hoping that they fell for her reasoning.

The Speaker eyed the brunette for a moment in silence before speaking, "that is a very good idea. Very well then, you may help protect the girl as well. I believe that is all, you both are dismissed," The Speaker finished as he began to stand up.

Quinn quickly stood up, "A moment, your Graces," all members stopped and looked at the Commander, "…what is this woman's name?"

The Speaker looked down at Quinn and stated simply, "Her name is Rachel Berry."
