When she woke up, she had a head ache that would out shine all of Tony Stark's hangovers. Everything smelt like dry earth but all of Lizzie's senses were saying she was in a cold and wet place. Wait, not all of it was cold, something warm and gooey was on her forehead and making it's way down her face. Cautiously, she reached up and gingerly touched the source of the warmth. Oh, great, she's bleeding.
Haven't I lost enough of this stuff already, she thought to herself. When Lizzie tried to sit up, she quickly discovered that she couldn't. Not because of her headache or the blood loss, but because of the space. She might as well have been trapped in a box. The small space barely gave her room to move her arms four inches away from her side and her legs couldn't even bend without risking a cave in. There was a small hole, about as big around as her fist, where a small amount of sunlight was streaming through.
"Steve...Steve...Steve." She called out. Her voice cracking with the tears that fell down her face. She kept struggling to free her leg, but it was no use. Each time she moved the rocks that had fallen on her leg crushed it more. She inhaled sharp breaths as the pain became more intense. She stopped struggling and looked up at the small light.
"If I am going to die here better knowing the truth than not." Her eyes closed as the last tears escaped her eyes. Her head fell to the side as she fell into a slumber. Little did she know she was been watched all this time.
When he had seen that she had fallen into slumber the beast then came down from his perch, the beast slowly crept towards the human. The beast was as black as midnight and its eyes as red as rubies and the claws sparkled like diamonds. His wings were the size of a dresser, and his teeth were as long as her arms. The spikes on the beast's back and tail were long, sharp, and threatening. The dark colours, the way he caught the light, all his complex angles.He was curious about this creature. She was beautiful. Her hair the colour of suns ray in spring, her eyes from what he saw from up the top of the cave were the colour of the blue when the spirits had worked their magic. It was something about the frail creature that lay in front of him. The beast had a feeling of deja vu. It was almost like she was familiar.
"Impossible." The beast thought, as the human began to move. He waited there until the time was right.
He lay down next to her and see a pool of red liquid next to her. He tilted it head and began to smell it. Quickly enough he backed away hissing at it.
"Blood." He thought. She was hurt. He looked down her body to see her legs were stuck in rocks. He got his black claws and began to nudge them from her leg. When he legs were revealed they were almost shredding beyond repair.
"I cant leave her here. She will die. She has someone out there. Someone who loves who and cares for her." He thought before picking her up with his mouth and placing her on his back. He then caught something in the corner of his eye. The necklace that hung around her neck. His eyes began to widen. "Impossible." This could not wait another second. He looked up at the sky. If this any other circumstance he would have flown off never to seen again. But this was important.
"Another day." He thought before flying off to the darkness to confront the Skrill. If she was that girl the prophecy talks about then the war is just about to begin.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Steve...Steve...Steve." Steve opened his eyes as he heard the voice of Lizzie. She was almost afraid and hurt. Lizzie he whispered. He began to sit up looking around his surroundings. Then the memories came flooding back. The ground they were on collapsed and it collapsed from underneath them. He noticed Natasha, Clint, Tony and Bruce were all standing over him.
"Nice time to wake up Steve." Tony said smugly. Steve rolled his eyes as he stood up.
"Where the hell are we?" He asked.
"No idea but its like when the floor collapsed we fell into the mountain." Bruce explained.
"Great." Clint grunted.
"Now how do we get out?" Natasha said with annoyance in her voice. Steve looked over her shoulder to see a blue light reflecting through the gab.
"Woah." Bruce exclaimed as he was playing with a little device in his hand. "This is impossible."
"What is?" Tony asked.
"This place to admitting energy. Almost like millions of small amounts of Gamma and Light energy." He exclaimed as Tony took the device from the Doctor's hand.
"There." The team turned around to where Steve was pointing. It might be a way out. Lets go.
"Follow the light." Tony wisely said, Natasha just rolled her eyes.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The beast landed in the chamber to see welcomed by Skrill who was sitting by his pond.
"You still sit by that pond brother requesting and searching for the answers." He gently lay lizzie down by the waters edge as her wounds healed themselves.
"Good to see you younger brother." The Skrill answered with smugness in his voice.
"Good to see you too brother." They nudged each other.
"I can see you have met the girl."
"Yes." Skrill bent down to the water and took a few gulps. "Is she the chosen one?" He asked his older brother.
"Perhaps. But today will be the deciding round."
"You are ascending." The younger dragon asked with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Yes dear one. I am." He gently put his wing on the younger smaller dragons as a sign of condolence.
"So I am tasked with teaching her all she knows."
"She knows a little bit already. Her powers need to shine through her. Unless she does not do that, there is no point in doing these tasks." The younger dragon nodded. "Also you might need to know." The younger looked at his brother puzzled. "Her father, the war hero is on his way here. You better fly to high brother. Show yourself only when needed." The younger black dragon simply nodded as he flew off to the high rocks. There was no way he was going to argue with the Skrill. He blended into the shadows like death as he watched his brother.
Skrill lowered himself in the pool of tears to await the next move and see what these so called 'Avengers' would do.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The team had a hard walk the ground was wet and it was steep. Tony kept falling over at every second possible. The ground was giving off these energy signatures almost it was forming somewhere deeper in the cave. They reached the chamber to see in awe the cherry blossoms flowing through the wind. Steve looked around to see a small figure lying next to the water.
"Lizzie." He whispered before dropping his shield to run towards his daughter. He turned her around on her back. He could see was injured. The dried up blood covered her face.
"Stupid girl." He said before stroking her hair. She was him in every way. Her eyes. Her braveness. Her hair. He noticed the necklace next to her before picking up up. He looked around him before picking her up. Why in hells name why she even in this place. But the most important thing is did she get the answers she needed?
He didn't even get a chance to walk a step before something made him turn around. The ground beneath their feet began to shake furiously Skrill had jumped out the water. He was no way happy. It was a large black mass with rubies for eyes and claws that shined like diamonds. Though his teeth were the only part that everyone was paying attention to you.
"What the hell is that?"
"That is the Skrill." Steve said gulping at the beast that stood in front of him.
