Darkside 18 

Avery walked out of Club Liquid alone. It was the only way. She knew Shane would never forgive her, but she had to do it. She walked back to a dark Ally. Fire erupted around her and then she was gone. 

She stepped out of the flames onto a cold stone floor. She was surrounded by Ancients. 

“What are you doing here?” One of them demanded. 

“I have come to take my place as your leader.” She said confidently. 

“You! Ha. You are merely a child. How can you be our leader?” Another scoffed. 

“There will come a child. A blessed child from two worlds who will personify the Great Father and Great Mother. They will usher until the world a great transmogrification.” A woman with Dark hair, fair skin, and brilliant blue eyes said. She was tall and elegant. 

“Blasphemy.” An ancient said. 

“She speaks the truth.” Another stepped forward. 

“She must be tested.” The Ancient of the Ancients hobbled forward. 

“I have been tested. I have changed the water in the Ancient realm, yet I have not been changed.” Avery announced. “How do you think I am able to stand among you without dying.” 

“Could it be” Whispered the Ancients. 

“Come closer my child let me see you.” The Ancient of Ancients said. 

Avery moved towards her, as she did she pulled off her shirt revealing her true self to them. She shined brighter than ever. She stood before them wearing on a sports bra. The Ancient history written magically all over her skin.

“Please mother of us all sit. Let me help you.” Avery caressed the old woman’s wrinkled face. A chair appeared behind the woman. 

“She uses magic here where there is none.” They whispered around her. 

“Thank you my child. I have been standing for so very long.” The Old Woman sat with Avery’s help. The Ancient’s gasped. To sit was a sign a weakness. 

“Have you no compassion? This Great Woman has given birth to us all and still you make her stand. Has she not held you on her back for thousands of years, and never asked for anything in return.” Avery yelled at them. They went silent.
