The Prophecy of the Ages

Darkness was born long before them,

Then thou warriors where born, Twenty seasons apart, One went into the light; the other went into the dark, one an immense force for hell masters, one an immense force for the powers that be.

Paths separated for a long time, only to meet when the end is near

The darkness cursed by the essence of heaven, set to redeem oneself from the darkness action, with no hope and faith the essence fights, until one day hope came along.

Hope and essence up and down, Love, faith, pain and betrayal, Hell and back, But never like before

Essence leaves of fear and doubt, And Hope loses oneself everyday, hoping for a return.

A fiend for the dark forces sent to kill both, Turns darkness into earthly, for one sunset and one sunrise

The noble earthly renounce the gift, to save the hope, and noble only to know, how heaven tasted like

The hope dies and been called back, from a blessing long waited for

Hell door closed and hope spread, to many of those who didn't know

The Noble essence keeps moving, into a fight with the three, never to win easy, Or with a swing of a sword

But on one day it succeed, and siblings reunite, the son wakes up, the saved comes to help

The blackness returns, and the light is angry, for it lost everything to blackness

The forces reunite, for a great fight; a newborn comes from hope, which will be from the childe, the key to hell for evil, and heaven for good

And none to know what the newborn destiny is, for it will end in eternal bliss before seeing the hope

The fight starts, at which one or two dies

But only to return back, to complete its destiny, on earth

The end is still unknown, however, the known is

Essence and hope are to reunite

Chapter 5

The Encounter

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Black we're home" yelled Marie as they finally they reached Black's lair. Roham smiled as he looked at his love, "Yeah come on out we have got a present for you"

"Really? Where is it?" said Black as he appeared about 10 feet away from them

Marie jumped, drawing her sword backwards preparing to strike the heart, but Roham gasped as he looked at his love execute this stupid move, "Marie No"

Black laughed as he moved away from the sword and held Marie hand and twisted it so hard it cracked, "Yes Marie listen to your lover" Then he tossed her hard against a spiked wall.

Roham screamed in agony as he saw the spikes piercing the body of his love, "NOOO"

Black looked at Marie's mutilated body and smiled. "You know Roham this fight was never meant for mortals. They don't have to say the last word in it, because no matter how long they survive, how hard they fight, they eventually wither and die, while we remain alive "

Roham raised his eyes, and glared at Black, "Really, you wanna fight with an immortal!"


Roham extended his hand as a flash of light crept over his hands and the light continued to rain away from his hands until a sword appeared, "Then come on Let's fight"

Black laughed as he pointed the palm of his hand towards a sword hanging on the wall, that flew directly towards his palm, "You sure you wanna dance with the Devil, Boy?"

"That's Right. Let's dance." Roham swung his sword towards Black, who blocked it with his own, then pushed Roham away then launched a series of swings at Roham who blocked each on of them perfectly.

Roham then moved his hand to punch Black in the face but the dark wizard was anticipating that move so he moved his hand to block the punch unaware that he exposed his torso to Roham who had only punched as fake.

Not wasting a second Roham launched the sword into Black torso as he moved his left hand down holding the killer's sword barring hand, "How does it feel Black?"

Black looked at the sword embed in his torso in astonishment, "Damn you're good, I think you are the first to injure me in 2000 years but you know that's not gonna kill me" then the black wizard pushed Roham away who somersaulted in the air landing again on his feet

"Ohh baby I am just starting"

Then Roham launched a series of attacks that Black defended with his sword then the two warriors started to circle each other looking for a hole in each other's techniques.

Roham kept glaring at Black as the memories was playing in the back of his mind causing anger to rumble harder in his chest.

Roham breathed in to calm himself the last thing he needed was to lose is his temper because he knew that once he lost his temper he might lose his life. That's exactly the chance that Black was waiting for. He waits for a mistake and then he strikes mercilessly.

"The Black mage, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Black grinned as he looked at his old enemy; he knew that Roham was keeping his anger in check, because he was doing the same thing.

Meeting Roham brought back all the memories of the night at which he lost his first fight ever, and now he had the chance for revenge. On the other hand he knew that Roham wanted to avenge his baby and lover.

"What I can't drop by to visit an old enemy?" Black grinned as he looked into Roham's eyes and saw the anger and coldness in them

"Of course you can but I thought last time we met, I gave you a one way ticket to hell," said Roham as he grinned looking back in Black's eyes

Angel looked at his brother then at Black then at the warriors that stood behind Black steady as a rock; he knew that up until now the fight was limited to verbal bashing between his brother and the black mage.

"Yeah, and I remember that I took your infant's and lover's lives as a thank you note" Black replied back

Roham glared at Black "Wanna dance?" asked Roham

Black shook his head sideways and smiled "Not this time baby but since I don't like to leave you sad, here is a little warm up gift"

"ATTACK" yelled Black then he looked at Roham and the people behind him "Sorry to run out like that but I have so many errands to get to, but it was nice to make your acquaintance. We will meet again soon."

Black then disappeared as the leader of the Samurai warriors growled as they marched in the hotel; Angel looked at Buffy and Faith "Buffy, Faith weapons"

Roham spun and kicked the leader as hard as he could sending him over the rest of his men as they fell down over him, then he jumped backwards and landed next to Angel, "Let's play Brother,"

Angel smiled, "Over Dinner, least kills pays."

Roham shrugged his shoulder, "You are on"

"Roham, Angel, Catch!" yelled the two slayers as they threw the swords to their lovers. As soon as the swords landed in the palms of the two brothers, they turned it to block the attack of three demons.

The two slayers then joined the fight and demon blood starting splattering all over the place.

Buffy was fighting with grace as usual but she could not help but to observe how the other people around her were fighting, she was amazed by the progress in Faith fighting style no more that rugged, I-am-the-damn-slayer technique but she was more light and artistic so to speak. Roham was fighting casually like she would fight vampires, but the problem that those fighters were fast and strong, that she almost lost her head a couple of times while she was watching Faith and Roham, maybe Angel's Brother is a hell a lot stronger than she thought.

--Swish--

She heard the sound as the sword missed her neck by a few centimetres; she frowned as she returned her full concentration to fighting the demons in front of her.

Angel was so immersed in the fight that the fidemons was like practice. He still had unresolved anger which he always used to ignite the fire in him during a fight. He fought either to win or DIE.

However, he couldn't help but to keep an eye on Buffy to see how she was doing. Clearly to him, she was out of shape and almost got her head chopped off a few times.

Roham was keeping an eye out for Faith and Buffy. He knew that he could easily fight these demons but he wasn't as sure of Buffy's, or for that matter Faith's, ability to fight such strong, fast warriors. The sad thing is that they weren't the strongest they were going face.

The Blue eyed man made a mental note to push his training sessions with Faith to its utmost.

Buffy suddenly screamed in pain as the sword slashed her left arm, Angel and Roham turned around to see what happened, Fury covered the vampire's face when he saw what happened to his mate.

Roham moved swiftly and started fighting the demons his brother was fighting. Angel didn't care about this stuff as he jumped over the demon that was about to cut-off his lovers head and started punching it with such wrath, it was scary.

The demon tried to fight back but he had no chance as Angel's punches were coming in thick and fast, then suddenly Angel spun around the Demon caught his neck and with all his might, that Buffy shivered at the sound.

Suddenly the fight ended the way it started, and the entire floor was covered with blood and dismembered parts of the demons.

Angel sat down next to his soulmate, and gently held her arm "Buffy, Ohh my god you are hurt"

Buffy tried to smile but her arm was cut badly. Angel swept his arms under her body and lifted her up gently, then he looked over at his brother who was checking on Faith, "Faith are you okay?" asked the vampire with the soul

Faith nodded as she moved her hand over a bruise under her eye, "Five by Five, Big Guy." Roham smiled as he kissed the bruise gently then moved towards the blonde slayer and checked her arm.

"Damn that's an ugly wound, Angel why don't you take her to your office while I get my stuff" Angel walked with Buffy towards his office.

Buffy smiled weakly. It wasn't the first time she was injured by a sword but this injury was different. She could feel the pain shooting in her head; she winced as she grabbed tighter with her other hand on Angel's shirt.

"Angel, who is gonna clean that mess?" she said trying to lighten the situation

Angel gave her one of his half grin that makes her knees go weak "Don't worry we will take care of it"

He opened his office, moved towards the chaise lounge and placed her gently on it.

Roham came in with a bag and placed it on the table near Buffy, "Okay Buffy I guess your arm is hurting more than you suspected."

Buffy nodded weakly as she clinched her teeth, but she relaxed when she felt Angel's hand over hers, "Do you know why?"

Roham nodded as he pulled out a strange red looking plant, and bit it, and moved it a little bit on his mouth the he placed it gently in the centre of the wound, "Yeah, you see there swords are poisoned with a poison that spreads thought the nervous system increasing its sensitivity, and if its left untreated, a soft air breeze can feel like knifes piercing through your body."

Then he took a deep breath as he looked at Buffy, " This is gonna hurt ,okay?"

Angel held her hand tighter as Roham spread his palm over her wound, closed his eyes, and starting chanting in Latin. Then a strange purple glow appeared at his palm then started to surround his hand and creep slowly over the red herb.

Buffy clinched her teeth as she felt as if her arm was on fire, she squeezed Angel hands tighter, and she felt her fingernails dig into his flesh, "Ahhh Damn that hurts, Roham"

Roham continued chanting as the red herb starting glowing and the wound started the close slowly, then there was a sudden flash and the red herb disappeared and Buffy sighed in relief.

Roham opened his eyes, looked at Angel, and smiled "What happened to your hand, Liam?"

Angel smiled as he kissed Buffy's hand gently, "Nothing much"

Roham laughed as he started wrapping Buffy's wound, "I guess you're gonna need real help when she is giving birth to your child."

A sudden silence enveloped the room as Buffy and Angel looked at each other, lost in their thoughts.

Buffy started to daydream as she used to when she was 16 when she first met Angel, also adding to the stir the dreams she was having about Angel becoming human, helped fuel her daydreams, she imagined herself with two boys and a girl, and they would be living outside the city in a beautiful white house.

Angel looked at his hands as bitterness rose in his throat the only chance fro him to be human was gone, he would never walk in the sunlight or have children with Buffy, and to top it all he knows how all that would feel?

Roham finished wrapping the wound and smiled as he began to collect the stuff back to his bag, "That's a good girl"

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" yelled Willow as she entered the hall and found the scattered demon bodies

Angel rose up, walked towards the door, and opened it, to witness Willow, Xander, Riley, Spike and the six slayers standing in the hall.

"It was nothing just some demons Black sent as house warming present."

"SOME" mouthed one of the younger slayers as she looked at the scattered bodies on the floor.

Buffy got up and moved towards the door "Thanks Roham"

Roham nodded "Welcome Princess"

Then she passed the door and stood behind Angel, "Hi guys"

Willow was about to reply when she noticed the wound on her shoulder, "Buffy what happened to you?"

Buffy looked at her wounded arm "Nothing just a little wound from the fight, Roham took care of it don't worry"

Giles looked at the demons with pure watcher interest, "Do you know what kind of demons are these Angel?"

Angel shook his shoulders as sign of ignorance, "No but they are faster and stronger than most normal demons."

"They are specially bred demons. They have the average demons strength plus their strength is boosted by Black's blood also their strength increases on full moons like werewolves. Their swords carry a special kinda of poison that increases the bodies sensitivity to pain and the cure to this poison is difficult to find. Also they are not the best among Black's collection of cronies."

Xander shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter what he's got, we are gonna beat him easily. Even if we have to throw every slayer we have into this fight."

Roham turned around and sneered "You think Black has been beaten once in 10,000 years because it's easy to fight him with a bunch of slayers?"

There was pin drop silence in the room after Roham declaration, Giles adjusted his glasses nervously Willow's hands trembled a little bit. Spike was in awe from the number.

Xander swallowed hard, "But there were never 50 active slayers at one time"

Roham raised an eyebrow, "You sure you have all the facts cause last time I checked the council was founded 500 years ago, and they have documents that would cover the last 3000 years so please enlighten me how would you know what happened 10,000 years ago"

Xander swallowed hard again, "Okay now that you put that way, let me ask you how do you know?"

Before Roham can answer, a young sound singing was heard from outside the hotel, then the hotel door was opened.

"What the hell happened in here?" yelled Connor

Angel smiled as looked at his son "Hi Connor How was your date?"

Connor smiled dreamily "Magnificent", and then he shook his head, as he looked at his dad, "What happened Dad?"

Faith shrugged her shoulders, "Nothing. Black sent us a few of his demons and we managed to kick there asses."

"Okay, now we move to Angel's office, I will tell you people all you need to know about the Black Mage but first I will have to cast a protection spell over the hotel okay?"

"Need any help?" said a very enthusiastic Willow. She wanted to know how powerful Roham was, because from the looks of it he wasn't completely normal, even though she couldn't senseany magical activity around him, but there were a number of facts that point out that he is powerful.

"No thank you Willow, I think I can handle it on my own" said Roham as he ascended the stairs.

Spike placed his hand on Willow's arm, "Come on lady we have got research crap to get to."

Willow frowned as she looked at the stairs, which Roham has just ascended "You go Spike. I will follow you in a few seconds."

Spike looked at her anxiously, "Willow, what are you gonna do?"

Willow start to climb the stairs as she answered Spike, "I wanna see how powerful that guy really is. "

Roham stood on the roof looking at the sky, then he took in a deep breath as his facial expression started to deepen.

The roof door cracked open slowly and revealed a red-headed girl who started to move carefully away from the door and hid behind a few boxes.

Roham suddenly opened his eyes, revealing that they were no longer deep blue but rather a very light blue. Then his hair changed from deep black to silver.

His feet started to leave the roof and he continued ascending until he was six feet above the roof, then he started chanting in a strange language.

A small blue portal appeared over his head then it started to spread into a dome until it completely surrounded the hotel.

Suddenly Roham screamed something in that strange language and the blue dome exploded sending light in a huge radius nearly covering half the neighbourhood.

He slowly descended as his hair returned to normal colour then he opened his eyes which began to return to their normal blue.

"Enjoy the show, Willow?"

Willow's eye widened 'how did he feel her?' she wondered. It should have been impossible since she had her magical shield up. How did he know that it was her? She didn't make any noise when she came in

"You gonna stay here for a long time?"

Willow yelped in surprise as she found Roham next to her, "No, I am going in."

"Why did you follow me, Willow?" asked Roham as looked at the red-headed witch in front of him.

"I wanted to know how powerful you really are," said Willow as she started walking towards the door.

Roham smiled as the door closed behind her, then he looked to the sky "You have no idea Willow Rosenberg how powerful we can get!"

Roham descended the stairs and walked towards Angel's office then he opened the door,

"Anybody up for a bed time story" said Roham as he startled MOST of the people researching

Connor smiled, "Promise to keep the rating Kids wise?"

Roham laughed as he took a seat, "Okay I don't want anybody to interrupt me. It's a long story and I need to recite it correctly"
