Persephone's great room

Nicolas watched as the two women emerged from Hecate's chamber's to meet with them. He had an idea that Hecate could probably do whatever BOTH Alison and Morgan could do, so he focused on informing Persephone of what had occurred.

To that end, he projected into Persephone's mind a replay of the last 2 minutes as he saw it, from his point of view. So Persephone saw what Alison said and how she said it. He then stepped forward.

"If we are to battle them, what can they do?? Any information on strengths and weaknesses would be MOST helpful. Right now we have the advantage of foresight and if battle is inevitable, then no need wasting breath on niceties. Prophecies be damned, I don't plan on losing anyone. Not without one hell of a fight."
 
the great room

[ Hecate turned as Persephone lead the way out of the chambers.]

It has begun, your harbinger's words are coming to pass even as we speak!

[ they quickly make their way to the Great Room. where she found Rampage helping to steady a shaken Alison. Hecate went directly to her, but not before she took a moment to smirk as she admired Nicolas' bare chest again.]

the vitality of this man is as strong as any magick that i've sensed. I would ENJOY celebrating it in the bedroom, but that task is meant for Morgan...HE should know how LUCKY he is to be in her good graces.

[ Hecate took hold of Alison's hand.]

relax child. Do not RESIST what you see nor the feeling that comes with it. Yours is a power that is RARE among witches for not everyone is strong enough nor WISE enough to be able to see the future, the past, indeed all existing and POSSIBLE time threads! you are gifted indeed my child.

[ she winked at Rampage as she took Alison into her arms.]

I know what you have seen. I know who has done this.....CIRCE!

[ Hecate's voice DRIPPED with contempt.]

It never fails, that from the VERY BEGINNING that i aligned myself with these pompous olympians, i have been disrespected and betrayed. I expected this from the MEN...but to find out that this destruction and misuse of MY power and legacy comes from a WOMAN who was once my most beloved desciple!?

[ Rampage could see the bitterness and growing hatred in Hecate's tone and demeanor...it was so similar to what he'd seen in Morgan before and as he asked for a run down of the gods/goddesses and what they could do, Hecate admired his courage and resolve.]

You are strong, young one. a most WORTHY candidate for the heart of my darkchilde.

[ she knew of that name reference to Morgan?]

had there been a man like YOU in this timeline for ME...perhaps things would be slightly different for my own life but it is good to know that my daughter enjoys the gentility and the LOVE of one such as you.

[ Hecate looked at Persephone before gesturing, a sparkling haze forms around them followed by a chime as they take a virtual tour of sorts of mt olympus as well as getting a visual profile of each god/goddess in action. the scene was beautifull to behold as well as informative]

We have no choice but to go FORWARD. We cannot further tamper with this as it has been damaged to the point of no return already.

The gods and goddesses of olympus are self absorbed but no less powerfull because of it. while they ALL have general attributes that they share, they each have individual gifts and excell at them.

Athena is among the most dangerous. a strong warrior who is the patron diety of most warriors on earth....she is the goddess of wisdom and war. every battle strategy is known to her. she fights with unrelenting, vicious zeal and ENJOYS the thrill of a good , bloody fight that ends in a KILL.

Zeus is as violent with his powers as he is with his temper. He wields the power of the skies, the lightning and thunder and like all the other gods/goddesses he can change his shape and form at will. He likes to wreck wide reaching havok with his powers. he's not NEARLY as refined or as cunning as Athena...but he makes up for that in his gleefull brutality.

Aphrodite is perhaps the most underestimated of them all. The goddess of love is perceived as weak and wanting nothing more than to lay about and be 'loved' and yet..men have been driven MAD by her mere presence. wars have been fought because of her...started BY her in dreams and visions. She is a master manipulator of emotions as well as the mind and can often break her foe by bewitching them with her feminine charms before moving in to destroy them.

Hera the goddess of marraige/hearth/home is as resilient and strong as her sister goddesses. though she remains devoted to her husband, she posseses extreme power of her own. you saw that she liberated herself from even one of MY spells. She will fight to the DEATH for her husband if nothing else and a love the wife....a JEALOUS wife has for her husband can motivate her to be as vicious and cruel as Athena when in battle.
 
Persephone's great room

Nicolas watched as Hecate took Alison from him and soothed her while still having the nerve to flirt at him at the same time.

If I only had more time...Hecate, if I only had more TIME...

But now was not the time to gather a notch on his belt (even a prized one). Hecate gave them an enchanted tour of Olympus complete with a rundown of the strengths of each Olympian. As he watched, matchups formed in his mind. He voiced his analysis to the group, especially since Alison, the team tactician was so shaken by her vision.

"We DO have the advantage of greater numbers, and if we avoid those that may exploit a potential weakness in us, we may yet carry the day. I think Haleigh is a good matchup for Athena. Her skill and expertise would serve her well against the goddess of war. Perhaps there are a few new tricks she could even show her. I have seen Hera, and she is impressive. But I have no doubt that Morgan can take her. Her power will do her no good against the Darkchilde. <<<winks back at Hecate. at this point, nothing she knew surprised him.>>> Aphrodite is a trickster, but someone who can predict her moves <<<nods to Alison>>> could stop her before she starts. As for Zeus... I will face him. He is not the only one who can bring power to bear. That should free you two <<<looks at Hecate and Delilah>> to do whatever is necessary to keep Persephone alive and get us home to kick Circe's ass. We left her there with no one to stop her. Things cannot be going well."

As he spoke, his voice began to noticeably lower as he readied for battle. He had failed to be 100% before, and Barbara Minerva paid for his failure. He would not be found wanting again.

:: As Hecate moved forward to help Alison, Persephone stood silent as Nicolas flooded her mind with images of what just had happened. This vision that Alison experienced shook her to the core, further prooving to Persephone that this situation was becoming increasingly bad. ::

:: Inhaling a deep breath as Nicolas asked for a run down of each god, Hecate provided the team with a visual 'tour' of each god and their powers. The gods were the blue print of the modern day mutant, their powers were raw and brutal. Sighing out while listening to Nicolas speak about who should go up against who, Persephone shook her head. ::

"First of all, if you're suggesting that I stand idly by while you fight the Gods just because i'm on their hit list, that won't happen. And secondly, I doubt Aphrodite will want any part of this battle. She may dislike my conduct thus far, but she is still one of the more level headed Gods on Mount Olympus. She won't declare war against me just from word of mouth; even if the warnings are from Athena herself."

:: Tapping her fingers against her upper arm as she thought, Persephone narrowed her eyes wondering if Athena would recruit any of the other gods to fight along side of her. ::

"Well we do have bit of an upper hand in all this. None of the Gods, besides myself, Hecate, and Hades can travel to the Underworld. They can't teleport 'beneath' the surface of Earth, that's why there is a seperate hierarchy down here. So the battle won't begin until we arrive at Mount Olympus, which means we atleast have some breathing room to rest and stratagize without worrying about being attacked."
 
[ Hecate folded her arms, while continuing to stand next to Alison, she listened to what Nicolas had to say. He was bold, and proactive indeed, but there was a cold rift between him and Persephone. WHY her friend could not see the utter beauty in this man was beyond Hecate. Maybe secretly, Hades was the ONLY man for her? [ a cruel irony] whatever the reason, Hecate MORE than discerned the disdain that lay deep in Persephone's heart toward Nicolas. She had "SEEN" the explosion between them under the red moon while they were in the Six's timeline.]


He means well, Persephone. He only wants to see you live and you KNOW that alot of those olympians would love to visit a fate worse than that of Atlas upon you.

[ she looks among the group.]

We have a buffer so long as we remain here. As Persephone said, only she, hades and myself can travel between olympus and the underworld. the one things the gods can't do that I can is TELEPORT. I assume that Morgan teleports as well. There is a clear line between us and them. One that THEY can't cross. We can appear anywhere on Olympus at any moment and I can CLOAK us from any manner of detection save Athena's enchanted owl Bupol.

With the exception of Athena, the Olympians are very short sighted. They do not believe that anyone from earth is capable of challenging them outright. THAT is the surprise that awaits them from you all and we have MAGICK...and while the trinity of the moon has been.. [ looking over at Persephone] damaged for the time being... i see a way around that with Morgan and Alison.

[ she noticed that Morgan was not present. she looked back at Alison]

Before i place my children's lives in danger, i must have time with them, to prepare them, to help them BETTER understand how blessed they are and how BETTER to use their gifts. To see my future...it is something that I want to enjoy...and yet in the face of such grim circumstances...I find myself feeling rather conflicted. Perhaps i have been granted the opportunity to see my future, because my PRESENT time is about to come to an end.

[ she said this with a rather trailing, distant tone as she looked away for a moment. she knew that her time on Olympus was all but at an end now. Alison said there would be an unforgivable act of betrayal against her occurring ON mt. Olympus. so it wasnt just Circe...it was someone ELSE! this would bring about the red moon and SHE was the only moon goddess present. her anger and resentment were trademarks of her personality but she knew things would be changing irreversibly very soon. she thought of the destiny and future of magick and the women of the earth who communed with it. Seeing Morgan and Alison gave her MUCH hope....RELIEF even. But there was something about Morgan, something that she had to investigate.]

all of you need to prepare yourselves as well.

[taking Alison's hand, Hecate abruptly excused herself]

come, harbinger. we will find the darkchilde and speak together...as a FAMILY.
 
[ Delilah followed the others back to the great room. She didn't think this was really the time for secrets, but she didn't have the energy to protest. Guardian informed them that - as usual - things were about to get worse. She followed Alison's lead and took a seat, exhaling loudly.

Haleigh had an emotional outburst - WHAT was going on here? Alison sought to console their teammate - but then sudenly was wracked seemingly with pain.

Delilah rose quickly and rushed to Alison's side. ]

"Alison! What is it?!"

[ Alison told them of her dire vision. ]

"How can we be sure our actions here don't make things worse? Surely we can't kill the gods ourselves...surely that will change things irrevocably. Can't we intercept Circe's charm? Prevent Athena from learning this information?"

[Nicolas, Persephone and Hecate had joined them and they began to formulate a course of action. ]

"We must remember that these gods are NOT immortal as Persephone is proven."

[ She glanced at Haleigh. ]

"We cannot let them have the psychological high ground. They've never seen anyone face them the likes of us."

[ Hecate and Alison went to find Morgan and have a little pow wow. Despite her earlier feelings of readiness, she now felt very unprepared for what lay ahead. They needed to work together as a unit, and she was afraid there could be more than one chink in their armor so to speak. She was also worried about Morgan - hopefully Hecate could help her regain confidence in herself and in her team. She turned to Nicolas. ]

"How is Morgan doing - is she any better?"
 
Persephone's great room

Nicolas listened as the Persephone dismissed his attempt to shield her. Hecate stood up for him and he watched as the moon goddess took Alison with her to meet with Morgan. Before he could speak with Persephone, Delilah addressed him about Morgan.

"Delilah, Morgan is actually much better I think. In any case she is in better mental shape than she was. I am confident that with Hecate's further assistance, she will be OK. How about you? Are you holding up? Maybe I can help..."

Nicolas faced Delilah as he spoke. Judging by the information she gave off to his telepathic and telekinetic senses, she looked far better than she felt.
 
[ Delilah shook her head. ]

"No, no I'm fine. Just worried about Morgan. And us. I hate this waiting."

[ And she didn't like that they were so disjointed. And with people going off into groups to talk. They needed to move as one and right now, they were moving more like three or four... ]
 
Persephone's great room

"I know what you mean, D. I hope that at SOME point we take the initiative as a cohesive group. I think since this whole damn thing began we have been REACTING rather than making others respond to us. I prefer to set the tone, not dance to someone else's tune."

Nicolas was calm but he hated to feel on his heels. And even though he believed in his group, he was concerned that Athena would have one HELL of a waiting party if they ever set foot into Olympus.
 
elsewhere in the castle

<< Morgan lay back in the chair breathing slowly as she meditated. In her mind were thoughts of her mother, ororo, the freedom of flying through the skies of Limbo, Illustra, tinkerbell...things that made her feel GOOD. She finally felt more IN CONTROL and ready to FACE things. Circe would get what was coming to her. She didnt know how just yet, but she felt secure in knowing that it WOULD happen.>>

<< the darkness and solitude of this massive castle was comforting as well. many similarities between this and the summit in Limbo. Morgan had scarcely interacted with everyone since they returned and her last round with Persephone had been less than pleasant. They were supposed to become friends but it seemed at every turn something prevented them from sitting down and really getting to know each other. it was a far cry from the bond Persephone had with Darkchilde or Hecate. She would have to fix that when this was over! and what of these blustering gods and goddesses? morgan didnt take shit from ANYONE no matter WHO they were it was time for THEM to find out what BITCHCRAFT was all about!>>

<< chimes played softly in the breeze as Morgan smiled and exhaled slowly. two shadows cast over her as she slowly opened her icy violet eyes to behold Alison and Hecate!>>

.....hello. i was hoping you'd come join me!

<< Morgan spoke in a welcoming but icy tone.>>
 
[ Hecate smiled upon the young witch and extended her hand.]

come, my child. it is time for healing. time for you to prepare to OWN the mantle that i created. it is by the winds of time and fate themselves that we have been allowed to meet. through this meeting, we will correct the damage done by my renegade desciple and avenge the death of your companion, Barbara Minerva.


[ she leads Morgan and Alison back to the great room and speaks to EVERY ONE.]

Morgan and Alison may be my children but YOU are their companions, their friends. It would not be right for me to help them and exclude you. The things that i will show Morgan and Alison will affect you as well... [turning to Persephone] and will explain things to YOU, Persephone. let us all learn and prepare...TOGETHER!

[the winds howl as Hecate lifts her hands and spreads them quickly...thunder CRASHES and blasts as the scene around the six changes in a flash. they are now on EARTH in this timeline, and for those who are geographically savvy, they will realize that the expanse of land they are on now...is the same land that Barbara Minerva's mansion would stand upon 1000's of years later in the six's timeline. in THIS time though, it is a place that is consecrated and dedicated to MAGICK...witches have paid homage to Hecate and celebrated the solstice as well. it is a clear, starry evening...although a bit breezy, the land is untouched by man or technology and brims with the life and energy of nature. some legends also credited Hecate as being the "goddess of nature, trees or the amazons"]

here, under the night sky, we will share this space with nature. don't worry, the olympians can't detect us. we are cloaked by my magick.

[ she directs the six to move back and observe while Morgan, Alison and Persephone stand before Hecate, facing her.]
 
the clear night sky of greece

<< Morgan breathed in the sweet, unpolluted air. the wind flowed through her hair. she instantly felt more energized and "at one" with the energy and nature in the air. her confidence and peace were being renewed just by being in Hecate's presence and there was more to come.>>

Hecate,I never imagined that I ...we [alison and i] would get the chance to INTERACT with you. We've seen visions of you in our dreams and invoked your image... in my time, my natural mother and honored mother told me that i was the fullfillment of YOUR prophecy. that i was to be your living avatar and that there were two counterparts in other realities.

I only wish that Ororo and my mother could be here to see this! Your name continues to flow from the lips of powerfull witches in our time.

<< an enchanted melody played among the wooded area around them as wood and water sprites shimmered and flitted about among the trees and flora. their soft giggles could be heard in the wind as well.>>
 
[ As Delilah was transported with the others to Earth, she looked about her and was filled with a feeling of peace. The warring thoughts and noise in her head were quieted - she felt that she was in a sacred place, a holy place, a place where anything could be healed.

She looked around at the others and felt their power, their energy. She felt a connection to them grow. There was something here, something that they had been missing. ]
 
:: Hecate transported everyone from the underworld to a beautiful strip of land in Greece. Persephone immediately recognized the area as Minerva's estate, only thousands of years in the past. Interlinking her fingers in a resting position in front of her body, the wind blew through her chocolate colored hair, making the long silky strands dance along the satin fabric of her black gown. It saddened her to be here, knowing that this was the place where she couldn't save Minerva from Circe, but obviously Hecate had a point if she brought the group here. ::

"Why are we here, Hecate?"

:: Noticing the members of the six were a few feet away from herself, Alison, and Morgan, Hecate was planning something. ::
 
Barbara Minerva's Estate...long ago

Nicolas stretched himself as they arrived at the new scene. He immediately reached out to "see" what was there, knowing that they were marked by now for death. he realized that they were at the scene of Barbara Minerva's palace and he looked around quickly. All he saw was beauty and harmony. The place was full of magic, of energy and positivity, and his mind reached out to it, allowing it to further bolster his mind.
He also saw that the goddesses and the sorceresses were a bit separated from the rest of them. Nicolas wondered what Hecate had planned for the group. He faced the women, arms folded, ready to react to what Hecate was about to put into motion...
 
In the enchanted forest.

[ Hecate's sunlight blonde hair blew in the breeze as she looked up, smiling as she felt the energy around her. wood and water sprites flitted about, hiding amongst the lush forest that surrouned them. As Morgan, Alison and Persephone faced her, Persephone was the first to ask the most obvious thing.]

Persephone, if you're going to prevail, you must listen and LEARN. Despite the obvious PROBLEMS your arrival with the six in this timeline has caused...there is much to be gained from it as well. This is an ENCHANTED forest, a place of great power and energy. Barbara KNEW that and as designated keeper of the world's most legendary and dangerous artifacts, not to mention Pandora's guardian, she built her home there because it was the most difficult place for Circe to reach...until the red moon.

[ Hecate raises her hands as the winds rise and the stars themselves seem to spin around them as a sparkling haze forms.]

Morgan, Alison, if you two are to prevail against Circe...you must have a better understanding and USE of your gifts.

ALL of you must work TOGETHER as a symphony if you are to take Circe at her measure and right the wrongs she has caused.


[ spreading her hands as more of the faeries ventured out to inspect the visitors in their realm, Hecate continued on]

Since you murdered Demeter, you set a series of events in motion that in THEIR (the six's) timeline is well documented history but HERE it is yet to occurr. Of course it would be preferrable to avoid the events that are about to come but if we did that, then Morgan and Alison would not exist...indeed NONE of you would have your lives as you know it and as it stands right now, your furture...what you have to return to remains uncertain at best. If Circe succeeds, creation is damned forever and not even SHE will be able to enjoy the bitter fruits of her wicked efforts.

My time on Olympus is fast coming to an end, as is Persephone's. There are things that MUST take place before then in order to insure that your future remains the way you remember it.

[ she stands behind Alison and places her hands gently on Alison's temples]

close your eyes and relax. let the Six see the stream of events in the relevant timelines so that they may learn. you CAN broadcast your visions in cinematic form.

[ a rushing sound is heard as a glowing, sparkling haze of blue/black orbs forms in front of the team so that they may learn.]
 
watch and see

<< time and space blurr and spin as Hecate and Alison begin a journey of exploration, things will be revealed and explained which will hopefully help better prepare the team, as well as allow Hecate to form a plan to save Persephone and her companions from what is to be a bloody battle...a battle that she KNOWS should not be occurring....>>

<< and so we watch...>>
 
the decree

[From the PAST]

[ the halls of Olympus. screams of agony and betrayal ring as the six flow through another enchanted vision to see Persephone MURDERING her mother in cold blood. Demeter, the goddess of nature and the "mother" in the trinity of the moon. the skies t hemselves crash and churn with the violence and blood shed that now blights the halls of Olympus. Flash forward to Hecate's own personal chambers where an ancient symbol of the trinity indicating the positions of herself, artemis and demeter begins to glow and shake..before CRACKING with a defeaning blast of thunder. Hecate herself lurches forward with a gasp of pain as she clutches her chest. the shock of the destruction of the trinity's harmony affects HER most of all. as she struggles to regain herself, she staggers out into the halls of Olympus and finds Persephone standing over Demeter's body...Hecate looks at Demeter and then Persephone....not in disapproval, more like in IRRITATION!]

PERSEPHONE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?



[ the scenes change as Hecate now stands in a rotunda similar to that of Circe's. She folds her arms as she contemplates how to fix what Persephone has broken. She has REJECTED Persephone's offer to replace Demeter in the trinity. Persephone lacks the knowledge and understand to fullfill the position of "mother" in this trinity and restore its power and meaning. The look on Hecate's face is that of exhaustion and exasperation. there has been much bickering and arguing in the halls of Olympus since Demeter's murder. Athena leading the motion to have Persephone executed. Zeus instead decides to FORCE her into marraige with Hades and banish her to the underworld...the fate that her MOTHER had originally RESCUED her from.]

[ scenes showing the moment of Zeus completely disrespecting and nullifying Hades relationship with Hecate are shown as he decrees Persephone's being betrothed to him. The look in Hecate's eyes says it all....total hatred and unforgiveness. she turns her back on Hades and from that moment on...she's despised him. But since ZEUS direspected Hecate, SHE will direspect him...and as Persephone sleeps under the moonlight, Hecate appears before her in astral form.]




DESPITE the damage you have caused, I will not see you be subjugated. You are my friend, my sister. WHY you killed your mother i will never know, but there is no time to waste. I must send you away. You are not READY to face that which they have planned for you.


My strength fluxuates with each passing moment. There's so much chaos on mt olympus, the haughty fools act as though THEY would have never visited such harm upon someone that they felt disdain towards and yet they are ready to condemn Persephone.

[how to restore the trinity of power? to pass on the legacy and heritage of magick? as she pondered this, she came to descision as she teleported herself outside the rotunda to face the sea itself..and the full moon which hung low. even the moon itself seemed less bright in light of recent events. Hecate finally came to a descision. the trinity would have to CHANGE to suit the times in which it would be reformed. Her life force, all that she was would go on...but there would be no "mother" or "maiden" for Persephone's damage to the trinity insured that there could be no "replacement". ]



[ as the winds blow across the sea, Hecate raises her hands and a mounfull chime sounds in the air]




Hear now the words of the Crone
The secrets I hide in the night
The oldest of magicks are invoked here
The great works of the trinity are sought
In this night and in this hour
I invoke the ancient power of the moon


[ the waves of the sea rise and the winds whistle as thunder crashes and a ray of eldritch energy beams down from the moon upon Hecate and her face can now be ween in the stars themselves as she decrees the prophecy of the NEW ...]

DARK TRINITY

in these times most uncertain, the fate of magick and women hang in the balance, from my life force itself, i will see that magick lives on and continues to kiss the earth with its mystical power! though the trinity may be doomed in this present time, it will be reborn anew in the passing centuries to come! from my life force...three women with hair of sunshine gold, with lips that shame the red rose and eyes that bewitch all who look upon them will come. they will occupy a special place in this puzzel of the multiverse...each sustained by MY essence and power!

full images of Spellbinder, Magik and Darkchilde appear...the uncanny resemblance between these women is REMARKABLE. there faces form at a triangular position around Hecate's own face in the stars.

let only those who are most worthy be chosen to raise, nurture and care for them, for the future of magick rests within their care and wisdom.

[images of Karen and Ororo can be seen, faint, ghostly images that flow through the winds. these women appear in each timeline shared by the dark trinity but some of them of course have met death as their ultimate destiny.]

with the dawn of the new trinity will come many threats both to these women and those who care for them. to answer this, there will be a NEW force ..a KEEPER OF TIME! someone strong enough to watch over ALL of humanity! a harbinger with the power to gather those strong enough to protect the dark trinity and any OTHERS who may need it. She will befriend the maid of the dark trinity and join her magicks with her.

[an image of Alison Marble forms and floats away as well.]


and to Persephone, my wayward sister. Though you may have fallen from the favor of your fellow gods, I have delievered you from their wrath. you shall not wander the cosmos alone and uncared for you. you will encounter one or more of the dark trinity in your travels and they will accept you. you will lead a life that you were too often denied in this world and you will have more than enough chance to make up for what you have done to ME.

[ an image of Persephone floats past Hecate's eyes as well and circles around the Dark Trinity before fading away. Persephone would remember DARKCHILDE saying words similar to this when SHE sent Persephone to the six's timeline...a new life, the chance to live AGAIN. Hecate had decreed that Persephone would have an ongoing bond with one or more of the dark trinity in her new life and since these women WERE in essence Hecate REBORN...that is why she bonded with Darkchilde and why she felt so willing to help Morgan in the six's timeline.]


these words, these events i do decree and by my will under the power of the moon they shall be done. NOTHING that occurs from here on will prevent the dawn of the trinity reborn to face the times in which it comes. Persephone will NOT be crushed under the heel of Zeus and I will NEVER truly be defeated!


the sky explodes as the moon pulsates and lightning flashes...hecate's magick and her very essence seemes to commune with nature before finally the ray of moonlight fades and Hecate herself..now completely drained falls to the ground outside of her rotunda.


it is.....done.

[ she passes out. the six have witnessed the foundation for Morgan's birth as well as the foreplanning of Alison, Karen, Ororo AND Persephone's own path crossing with the dark trinity. but there is more for them to see , more for them to learn!]
 
:: Persephone's eyes were focused on Hecate and Alison. Well this wasn't what she had expected...more front row seats for the six to see her life. Not pleased, Persephone kept her fingers linked and her dark sapphire eyes watching the cinematic 'viewing' of Demeter's murder. Persephone had no expression as the images of Demeter flashed in front of her. She was a beautiful woman; pure and full of love. But Persephone saw nothing more than a dispicable woman who needed to be erased from this planet. With a stone like face, Persephone watced as the images of Hecate running out of her chambers and to where Persephone had finally murdered her mother played out. Demeter's stomach was slashed and her own bowels were pulled into a noose that wrapped tightly around her neck. Demeter's beautiful ivory gown coated in sticky red/black blood as a pool formed beneth her lifeless body. Persephone stood tall above her mother, covered in blood as well. It was another look at a side of Persephone that none of the six had ever seen before. ::

:: Keeping her eyes focused on the visions, they continued to play out showing the events that followed Demeter's death. Persephone offered herself in place of her mother in the trinity, but Hecate felt she was too corrupt to take the place of ther 'maidan/mother'. At this point in her life, Persephone knew that Hecate made the right choice. But back then, it was an insult and the goddess was angered by Hecate's decision. Finally, the scenes of Hecate casting a spell to create a new trinity played out. The reasoning behind her affiliation with Darkchilde and now Spellbinder. Persephone was destined to be linked with Hecate's successors, and Morgan would now see that for herself. ::

:: Keeping her eyes focused on the visions, the wind continued to blow back Persephone's chocolate hair as she stood motionless and uneffected. She waited as more visions began to play out. ::
 
the enchanted forest

:: for the first time, Alison felt herself reaching out the way she had always DREAMED OF! tapping into time and space as she SHOULD be able to! no shock, no feeling of being overwhelmed! and she was able eto SHARE what she could see! many times in the past, members of the six had often dismissed or taken Alison's precognition for granted but as time when on, they began to see just how VITAL it was and how DIFFICULT it was for her carry the burden of being able to see ALL times and places.::

:: with Hecate's guiding hand, Alison continued to reach out, taking the six on an enchanted view of time threads that allowed them to see the savage murder of Demeter by Persephone and Hecate's reaction, along with the night that Hecate decreed the coming of the new DARK TRINITY!::

:: but she learned something ELSE! Alison HERSELF was preordained by Hecate! that's why she'd not encountered any cross time altnernates of herself yet in the time streams that she'd visited so far! She was MORE than a "guardian" for the six...she was indeed a Harbinger and her purpose , her destiny was becoming clear....it explained why she had felt the compulsion to leave her family behind as early as age 14 to explore the WORLD OVER searching for the secrets of magick and mystical artifacts! it explained why she had the powers she had....with the ability to protect AND destroy in the most brutal and efficient fashion. She may not have been from hecate's bloodline directly, but she was annointed by Hecate just the same!::

:: it explained why she could NEVER identify with her mother, Kelly King who's short sighted and selfish nature had corrupted her beyond the point of no return...and Erika, although well meaning, was not neaerly as strong as Alison to accept the mantle or destiny that she been preordained for. Her friendship with Morgan was more than a chance thing as well.::

:: Alison couldnt help but smile a bit as she breathed, letting her power flow through her like a freshly released river as blue/black orbs continued to swirl around her and Hecate, sparkling at some points...glowing at others. Hecate prompted her to continue on, and so she did.
