Sins of the Father
Chapter 25
He pulled apart the two wolves who had been fighting. They had been seconds away from phasing.
It had been a month since the evil spirit nested in Seattle and things had been going downhill. True to his word Kokopelli had used his power to grow the trees needed, Terra had cast spells so no clever and sharp minded humans would notice new trees suddenly growing overnight. The trees helped protect them from his influence, but slivers of his power did manage to get through. Things in Seattle and Forks were worse...a lot worse. As Terra predicted the crime rate in Seattle had begun to steadily rise. Murder, rape, theft, disappearances, bodies found mutilated, others missing their hearts. There had already been a small riot in Seattle. Even the weather was changing, the temperature was always chilly, and a constant dark fog had covered the city. Terra said it was the spirit, using it's magic to manipulate the weather so it would not fear the sunlight. Even forks was being affected, Charlie was constantly making arrests and throwing people in jail. "He looked at me funny!" "Fuck you, you paranoid freak!" "Enough!" Jake roared. They both fell silent. "Both of you go home!" "But Jake we are supposed to patrol with you." "I am not going to spend all night keeping you from killing one another. Go home and cool off, that is an order!" They left, throwing glares at one another; I sighed and started to pull my pants off. "Jacob." I spun around, Terra was there. "Dude, do you mind?" I said pulling my pants up. "We need to talk," he said. "About the spirit?" "That and something else." "What?" "I am concerned for Qahla." "What do you mean?" "I know you have noticed he has been withdrawn since his father's death?" "Yeah, I noticed," Jake said. "I am worried for him. I know I am not the most empathic nor emotional man but I think you should talk to him." "Why me?" "You have a bond with him that I believe will help him better than I would," he said. "Alright, I will. What is it about the spirit you wanted to talk about?" "In three days I am going to challenge him to a duel." "What?" "Things are getting out of hand. He is gorging himself on evil hearts and thereby increasing his own powers. I also believe he has created some monsters." "Created?" Jake asked, not liking the sound of that. "I have been keeping an eye on him and I noticed the mutilated bodies they showed on the television seemed a little too...eviscerated for his tastes. He prefers to watch others kill themselves or each other, he only kills for their hearts." "Why three days? Why not now?" "In three days there will be a solar eclipse." "Isn't that bad? Won't the moon blocking the sun be a bad thing?" Jake asked. "Normally, yes. But the eclipse is when my powers are at their zenith," Terra said. "What do you mean?" "It is common for mystics to draw power from celestial bodies. The moon, sun, comets, planetary alignments. As you know my mother was from the sun tribe and my father was from the moon tribe. I have an affinity for both of them and when they combine I can draw immense powers from it." "Enough to beat the spirit?" Jake asked. "Yes." "How can we help?" Jake asked. "Stay out of the way." "What? How can you ask us to do that? We helped you fight the spirits to get back Qahla," Jake said. "This isn't some minor spirit, Jake. This thing was roaming the cosmos before humans swam out of the ocean. Made from primordial darkness, he has the unique ability to tap into a person's negative energy. You wolves draw your power from anger, and the Cullen's blood thirsty nature would make it easy for him to manipulate you." "So how are you going to stop him? The voodoo doll?" "It's not a voodoo doll but I am saving that as a last resort," Terra said. Just then a piercing scream filled the air, coming from Jake's house. "Rachel!" Jake said.
Rachel sat up in her bed screaming.
Paul came running in, almost breaking the door. "Rachel! What's wrong?" he asked. "Oh God Paul it was horrible!" Rachel cried into his chest as he held her. "What? Another vision?" he asked. "Yes. The world was cold and dark...I saw people being eaten alive by these monsters and I saw you and some of the others, but you were different, you were...I don't know why but I was scared of you all, you were so evil looking and you were hunting humans and eating them too...and I saw this thing, he had wings and was pure black and he had horns and scarlet red eyes!" "Shh, it's alright," Paul said rocking her back and forth. He heard the front door open and Jake came running in. "Rachel!" "I am fine Jake!" she said. "It was another dream," Paul said. "Another one?" Jake said. "She is a seer, it is to be expected," Terra said appearing next to Jake. "She is seeing visions of the future," Terra said. "The future! So it will happen?" she asked looking terrified. "Maybe, maybe not. The future is very flexible," Terra said. "Can't you give her something for this?" Paul asked. "No, it is best if she dreams, it could help us in some way," Terra said. "She is dreaming of horrible things! How is that helpful?" "Dreaming of the future could give us a clue of to what the spirit is planning," Terra said. "He's planning to fuck the world up, what more do we need to know?" Paul asked. "A well planed move can decide the course of an entire battle. And on that note I need to get ready," Terra said, leaving to go prepare for his upcoming battle with Shade. "Asshole!" Paul growled. "What's going on?" Qahla walked in, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He saw Rachel looked like she just seen the pits of hell. "Another bad dream?" She nodded. "Me too," he said. Jake walked up to him and picked him up. "Come on pal, back to bed with you," Jake said. He carried Qahla back to his room. He put him back in the bed and pulled the covers up over him. "How are you holding up buddy?" he asked. "Fine," Qahla said. "You know you can talk to me right?" Jake said. "I know," he said. "Don't worry, we will beat this spirit," Jake said. "What does it matter? There will always be another spirit. And someone will die. Someone always die's," Qahla said. "Come on pal, we have a cure remember?" "Yeah, but it requires a live sacrifice," Qahla said. "Qahla, as soon as we-" Qahla turned his back to Jake. "Good night Jake," he said. Jake sighed and left Qahla alone. As he left the house to do his patrol he could not help but feel powerless. Maybe it was an effect of the evil spirit manipulating his emotions or his own sense of importance. He was supposed to be the alpha, the future chief, yet he had failed in so many things. Good thing failure wasn't a sin, at least officially.
The next day the Quileutes, Cullens, and mystics had a meeting.
The mystics had come a far way since they first started their training, though they still had a long way to go before they could be called true magic users, they were still in training. They all stood out in the woods, Terra had just told them of his plan, and he was on the ground, making a life size clay doll, though for what purpose he would not elaborate. "Will you be able to kill him?" Billy asked. "No, I am good but not that good, as I have said many times," Terra said. "Then what will you do?" Jake asked. "Try and trap him. It's the best I can do. But don't worry, I have a few plans in case it doesn't work," he said. "Like what? Using a voodoo doll?" Jasper asked. "How many times do I have to say it is not a Voodoo doll! It is an effigy designed to harness sympathetic magic which id done right can be used to destroy the spirit," Terra said. "But you said doing so would destroy all of Seattle," Sue said. "True. That is the last option," Terra said. "If there is any way we can help we will," Carlisle said. "I must fight the spirit alone. This is my fight, my mistake, I must fix it," Terra said. He finished making the clay human. He bit his finger and carved a heart shape onto its chest with his blood. "But first, I need to let him know I am coming."
Meanwhile in Seattle Shade was on the prawl.
Two police officers were paroling the neighborhood where Shade had made his nest. There were many rumors and stories being spread about it. Before it was known to be simply a bad neighborhood where hoodlums and other undesirables went. But now rumors spread of how anyone who ventured in was never heard from again. How at night time you might see something hiding in the dark or hear the sounds of strange things. "I tell you Phil, this place has something to do with what is going on," Barry said. "How you figure?" Phil, his partner asked. "Instincts bud, all the bad stuff started in this area and spread out. I don't know if it is someone using chemicals or what but isn't it funny how so many people disappeared around here? How even the low lifes are afraid of this place?" "True, we do find a lot of dead bodies around here," Phil said. Shade followed them, invisible. "Hmm, this will not do. No, no, I can't let these two into my domain and not give them a proper welcome. Ah, I see Phil has a big secret, don't be shy Phil tell him the truth," Shade whispered into Phil's ear. Phil turned to Barry. "Listen Barry, you have been a good friend to me and we have been partners for a while," Phil said. "I know Phil your my good friend, when Miranda killed herself last year you were there to help me get through it," Barry said. "Well about that...Miranda killed herself because of me," Phil said. "What?" Barry asked. "I am sorry Barry...see I have this thing...I know she was only thirteen but she was so beautiful...I saw her walking home from school one day and offered her a ride home, she trusted me of course and I drove us someplace where we wouldn't be bothers...I didn't mean for it to happen but I couldn't resist myself. I told her you wouldn't believe her if she told you and I guess it was too much for her to handle." Barry shook in rage, his face flushed with anger. "You...you!" he grabbed his gun and pointed it at Phil. "You bastard!" He shot Phil six times. As his body fell to the ground Barry began to cry. A feeling of immense guilt, shame and self-loathing filled him. "Phil...damn you...oh my baby girl...I...I am so sorry!" he cried. Shade grinned, pleased by what happened. "That is right Barry, let the despair flow. Now, why don't you point that gun in your mouth and end it?" Listening to the voice Barry put the gun in his mouth, his last thoughts about his young daughter, whom he failed to protect. There was a final bang and a good man died, a victim of an ancient evil that delighted in his final torment. "Your heart is too good for my tastes, how ever your partner is just what I am looking for," Shade said. He went to Phils body and began to carve open his chest to devour his heart. A vile sound filled the air as Shade ate Phil's still warm heart. "Well, that is more disgusting then I remember." Shade stopped and stood up, Terra stood before him, not bothered by the blood dribbling down Shade's mouth or the fact he was still chewing on a heart. "Weeeelllll, if it isn't the fool who thought he was a god. Saving me the trouble of finding you?" "I come to talk to you this day spirit," Terra said. Shade wiped his mouth. "Come to beg for your life, have you?" he asked. "No, I come to discuss the terms of our duel," Terra said. "Really? You challenge me to a duel?" Shade grinned and began to jump up and down in joy. "Oh Marvelous! I was getting so bored!" "You should not be so quick to accept my challenge seeing what happened last time," Terra said. "Silly mage, last time you had Buffalo Man to help, last time there wasn't so many evil hearts for me to consume. I never dreamed I would have so many to feast from. I always knew humans had potential, but I never dreamed they could achieve so much. I feel like a parent who has seen their child succeed greater then imagined," Shade said. "Yes, you have been pigging out I see," Terra said looking at Phil's body. "This man was a wicked bastard, he was my legitimate prey," Shade said. "And the other one?" "Oh poor Barry? He was for fun," Shade said with a grin. "I made a mistake dark one and I will correct it. I Terra do hereby challenge you to a duel, do you accept?" Shade bowed. "Very well, I see you have a new name, well so do I, my name is Shade and I accept. When shall we duel? Now?" "No, three days from now." "Very well, but I shall chose the location, I chose this fare city," Shade said. "Very well, enjoy these three days Shade, it is the last mercy I will offer you," Terra said. "Mercy? An alien concept to me, as is compassion and empathy. Though I still have a sharp mind." Shade flew at Terra, his hand turned into a long dark blade. He sliced off Terra's hand. Instead of blood dirt poured out and the hand turned into clay. "A golem, you send a golem in your steed?" Shad asked. "Where is your courage Terra?" "I fear you not, but I could not risk your attacking me in person, at least not until I am ready," Terra said. "Hmm, tricky as always. That was one thing I always liked about you. But before you go, I wish to show you something, have you the time?" "Time hold no meaning to me," Terra said. "Nor to me, come. Let us walk, I wish to see the fruits of my labor," Shade said. The duo walked towards the city. Unseen by mortals, leaving behind the fallen officers to be collected.
Seattle was a dreary place now, covered in eternal dark grey fog and a chilly temperature. There was something in the air now, something dark and eerie.
Were you to walk down the streets you could not help but feel vulnerable, or feel like someone if following you. Shade had been busy in the last month. You could not look at a paper or watch the news with out hearing of some new horror that had happened. The city was still recovering from the riot that took place which claimed the lives of seventy people. Terra and Shade walked, unseen by mortals. "Behold Terra, the first of many that will fall! When the world was younger I would corrupt the humans, turning them into monsters. Tribe by small tribe and they were so beautiful to see. But a whole city? By the dark, once I am finished this place will be the capital of the shadows." "Yes, I notice you are no longer the only shadow spirit here," Terra said spotting an unseen shadow spirit in a dark alley. "I once ruled legions of dark spirits, you remember?" Shade said. "Yes, I destroyed more then half of your army," Terra said. "I underestimated you. A mistake I will not repeat," Shade said. A cat walked into the alley. A second later you could hear it shriek in fear followed by the sounds of something feasting on flesh. "I am a bit of a legend amongst the shadow folk. They flock to me, my adoring fans. Once I finish you off this will be our new home and from hear we will spread!" Shade said. "Shade, you should not remain in this world. You are one of the higher spirits, you should return to the spirit world, like the other great powers. The longer you are here the more your presence will affect the natural order of things," Terra said. "Bah, I like it here. It may not be the spirit world but there are pleasures to be had here. With all the great spirits deep in the other side I will take hold here." "The light spirits won't stand for it. If you upset the balance to much they will come for you," Terra said. "Let them, they will find I am not one to be trifled with. Speaking of great powers what if the Quileute child?" "You seem well informed," Terra said. "I met Utlapa, I read his mind. I know all about Qahla and his little problem," Shade said. "He is of no concern to you," Terra said. "But how can you tell me I should leave when you are protecting another power that can disrupt the natural order? I may be of the dark but the most ancient and purest of magic is inside that boy. Magic that should have been kept in the earth. Utlapa was a fool in thinking he could tame it." "He was. But we have found a solution for Qahla," Terra said. "Oh?" "A ritual to reverse the spell Utlapa cast centuries ago. It will seal the power back in the earth," Terra said. "Hmph, I think not. After I deal with you I will go to La Push and devour the child, with his power I can do things I have only ever dreamed," Shade said. "I dare not think of what a creature like you dreams of," Terra said. "I dream of a sky black as night, of juicy dark hearts and innocent blood being needlessly shed," Shade said. "Not that I am not enjoying our time together...which I am not, where are we going?" Terra asked. "There." Shade and Terra walked into the middle of a road. They walked to the manhole and Shade opened it. "You first Terra," Shade said.
Everyone waited for Terra to wake up.
He sat on the ground, meditating. He had a mental connection to his golem and was commanding it's movements. Qahla stood alone, by himself away from the others. Jake walked over to him. "Hey buddy," he said. "Hey," Qahla said. "So...how's it going?" "Save it Jake, I don't need to be cheered up," Qahla said. Jake sighed. Then he got an idea. "You know...my mom died when I was young." Qahla didn't speak. "I was nine, it is odd but I remember little things about her. Like her laugh, her smile, how safe and warm I felt when she hugged me. I remember how she used to draw water paintings. I still have all of them, sometimes when I feel sad I take them out to feel better and remember her," Jake said. Qahla reached down and grabbed the bone knife, the same one he used to paralyze Utlapa. "This was made from a whale bone, it was blessed by a shaman. Father gave it to me, said it could be used to pin evil spirits. Back in those days I had to use it a bit when father protected me, mother was so mad he gave me a knife, said I would cut myself," Qahla said. "What was she like? I saw her in your fathers memories," Jake said. "She was the most wonderful person in the world. She had every reason to hate me, I was an abomination, I was an oddity of nature. But she loved me anyway, she fought to keep me safe from the others. She was always there when I cried." "So was my mom, she had a lot to handle. She was a stay at home mom, she would make paintings and sell them, and she was modestly successful at it. It wasn't easy though, between my sisters and me it is a miracle she didn't go mad with frustration." Qahla smiled. "I always wanted to have brothers and sisters...but as you know I had plenty of siblings, but they were born after I was sealed away. I wonder what they were like?" "From what the stories tell us they were all brave, courageous and dedicated to their people," Jake said. "Father says they are waiting for me on the other side. My family. Mother, father, my brothers all of them." "And one day you will see them all, your father, mother and even the brothers you never met," Jake said. Qahla's body began to shake. "I miss him Jake, I miss my father so much." Jake wrapped an arm around Qahla and hugged him. "I know buddy, I know."
Terra and Shade continued to walk through the tunnels of Seattle.
Things stirred in the dark, more shadow spirits, taking refuge below the city. Horrible, horrific mutations with sharp teeth and claws and glowing eyes. They glared at Terra, he could feel their malevolence, feel their need to hurt him. But they looked at Shade with respect and awe, like a child looking at their hero. "This begins to bore me Shade, what is it you wish to show me," Terra said. "Patience Terra, I wish to show you my work," Shade said. They walked into a large room, a crossroads with multiple doors. Dead and decaying bodies littered the floor and a thick white web covered the walls. At the center of the room was a large sack, it hung from the ceiling like a large disco ball. "Come my pet, we have a visitor," Shade spoke. Shade's creatures came from the dark, Terra heard them long before he saw them, the sound of their feet scuttling and their mandibles clicking echoed through the chamber. "I take it these are the monsters you created," Terra said. Shade seemed a little frustrated. "Does the sight of them not revolt you? Disgust you? Fill you with fear?" Terra shrugged. Despite the horrific sight of Shade's abominations he was not affected at all. "I am old Shade, I have seen many things that would have driven many insane. Hell, I have gone insane once or twice," Terra said. "Hmph. I found them, the chaff of the city. The faithless and dispossessed, they gave themselves to me and I remade them in my image." Terra picked up a severed human arm. "I see you have been feeding them." "Oh yes, they will be my vanguard. My monsters of the night. A new evil to plaughe mankind, they are the first and that-he pointed a taloned finger at the ball hanging from the ceiling-will be the start of a new dawn." "Pray tell is that an egg sack?" Terra asked. "Why yes it is." "Your breeding them?" "Of course, there used to be more but when Celestine started mating with them she would kill them after the deed was done," shade said. Celestine was the only female of the creatures, she glared hungrily at Terra and hissed at him. "I may have lost a few but when the eggs hatch I will have thousands more. We will over run the city then we will come to La Push and I will devour the Quileute child and add his power to mine!" Shade said. "Yes, well first you will have to defeat me. And this is what is really going to happen. I am going to end you, permanently this time, I am going to kill these mutations and their brood and then I am going to fulfill my contract with Taha Aki and cure his son. Enjoy these next three days Shade, they will be your last," Terra said. Shade decapitated Terra, letting out a horrific shriek of rage that he had not been able to rattle the mystic. Terra stared up at him, not looking at all bothered. "See you in three days Shade," he said. The body turned to clay and dirt. Shade ground his teeth together. "Yes, in three days. Then I will rip you apart piece by bloody piece!"
Back in La Push Terra opened his eyes.
"Well, that was enlightening," he said. He stood up and dusted himself. "Bad news guys, the spirit, or Shade as he is calling himself now has created some monsters. I suspect they are the same ones Rachel has been dreaming about," Terra said. "How did he create them?" Carlisle asked. "He corrupted human beings and transmogrified them," Terra said. "Can they be cured?" "No, they gave themselves to him willingly and he owns them now," Terra said. "But whats worse is they are breeding. Once the eggs hatch they will over run the city then he will come here for Qahla. He plans to devour him," Terra said. "Like no one has ever tried that," Qahla said. "What do we do?" Jake asked. "While I battle Shade some of you must go down in the tunnel and destroy those eggs," Terra said, "we can't let a single one of those abominations live." "Agreed. Must we wait until three days? What if they hatch before then?" Billy asked. "Shade agreed to my duel, he won't let them hatch until he thinks I am beaten," Terra said. "What is this other plan of yours in case you fail to trap him?" Sam asked. "They are my plan," Terra said pointing at Leah and Seth. "Us?" Seth said. "What are we going to do?" Leah asked. "We are going to use you to summon the spirits of your ancestors," Terra said. "For what?" "To help fight Shade. With you two I can perform a spell that will summon those of the Uley, Black and Atera bloodlines to help us fight," Terra said. "Why Seth and Leah?" Sam asked. "Because of all the wolves only these two can claim being descended from the three families that carry the bloodline," Terra said. Jake recalled Terra telling him that when he first arrived in La Push. "It is why Leah phased, female shape-shifters are rare, but if the blood is strong enough in them they can phase," Terra said. "How is the spell performed?" Jake asked. "We put them in a circle and use their blood to call to their warrior ancestors to help fight. Qahla, I believe you know the spell," Terra said. Qahla nodded. "I have seen it done before. If ever the tribe was threatened by evil spirits then we would summon our fallen kin to help us battle them." "What are the risks? " Jake asked. "No risks, but I am afraid Leah and Seth would have to be taken away from the battle." "What?" "No way!" The Clearwaters did not like the idea of being taken out of the battle. "We can't have you fighting and cast the spell at the same time, and if anything were to happen to you then the spell would break," Terra said. "What do you propose?" Billy said. "We split into two teams. Us fighters will draw Shade's attention with Qahla as the bait. Mean while the mystics and the Clearwaters will be far away casting the spell and maintaining it," he said. "But this is in case my battle with Shade goes south." "And if plan B doesn't work?" Jake asked. "Then we will have to use this," Terra said. He reached into his bag and pulled out a stone effigy. It was made from black obsidian and hard red jewels for eyes, and Terra made it to look like shade. It was a very accurate look as everyone shivered at the sight of it. "Is that it?" Jake asked. "With this we can kill Shade permanently." "What's that carved into it?" Carlisle asked noticing some etchings in the effigy. "Many of the names he has used over the ages. It helps focus the sympathetic magic on him. All we need now is a part of his being." "Like when Deena took some of my hair?" Sam asked. "Yes." "But how are you going to do that?" "I have my ways," he said.
Later that day Leah was walking through the woods.
They had gone over the battle plan and now she was off on a mission of her own. She was trying to find Kokopelli, she wanted to have words with him. She had tried to find him via his scent, it was not easy as he blended in well with the forest. She caught it and followed it, then she heard the sound of a flute being played. She found him sitting on a fallen log, but he was not alone, he was surrounded by an assortment of deer, elk and other woodland creatures, even the trees were brimming with birds who seemed to be staring at him as he played his flute. He saw her and smiled. He stopped playing his flute and spoke to the animals. "Alright everyone, that is enough for today, let's do this again tomorrow," he said. The animals all got up and wondered away and the birds took flight, the sounds of their wings flapping filled the air. "Leah, how good of you to come. Have a seat." He patted a spot on the log next to him. "You know why I am here?" she asked. "Of course," he said. She sat down next to him, he stared at her, his eyes brown and warm. "So, I did some research on you and from what Terra has said about you...you can help with fertility problems right?" "Yes, but you don't have fertility problems my dear. You need to find a nice strapping young wolf to father your pups," Kokopelli said. "I know that but...I...I..." "Have so little to chose from?" She nodded. "And you are afraid to become intimate with another of your kind after what happened with Sam and your cousin?" "How the hell did you know that? I swear to God if Seth has been running his mouth again!" "Easy there girl, I am a spirit, we spirits know things," he said warmly. "Well can you help me? Maybe pull a magic trick and tweak the rules for me?" she asked. "I would like to help Leah, but there is nothing I can do. It is nature's laws not mine, I just help keep balance and keep everyone happy, healthy and of course fertile." "Is there someone out there for me? Do I have a special someone for me?" she asked. "Sorry sweet heart, if you wanted me to make your land more fertile, ensure a healthy crop, make the animals who live on your land more abundant or sing you an awesome song I could help you. Love isn't much of my department," he said. "Isn't there anything you can do?" He held up his flute. "I can play you a song." He began to play a song, he was really good, he had many centuries to practice. Listening to the song Leah could not help but remember the happy times in her life, when her and Sam were still together and happy, when her dad was still alive, when her life was easy and simple. It made her feel warm and happy, like a dark heavy weight had been lifted from her being. "Better?" he asked. "Yes, thank you," Leah said.
Claire and Qahla were on the beach.
They were knee deep in the water and were practicing tossing a ball of water at one another. "This is so amazing!" Claire said, "I am like Avatar Korra now!" "Who?" Qahla asked confused. "She's the avatar on the tv, she can manipulate the elements too. I wonder if I will get a polarbear dog too?" "Why? You already have Quil," Qahla said. Claire blew a powerful gust of air at him which he deflect with a flick of his hand. They both laughed and continued to study water magic. Qahla had cast a spell so any normal humans would see them splashing each other playfully instead of raising the water magically. Quil was supposed to be watching the duo but had fallen asleep on the shore, he had been working a lot of nights and it took it's toll on him. "Do you think Terra will be able to stop the evil spirit?" Claire asked. "Of course, Terra is super strong," Qahla said. "I hope he does. My parents have been fighting a lot," Claire said sadly. Since Shade had returned Claire's parents had been arguing a lot lately about little things. Many times Claire had woken up to hear them. "My parents fought sometimes too," Qahla said sadly. "They did?" Claire asked. "Yeah. They were both under a lot of pressure because of me. My mom wanted us to leave, but my father was the chief so he couldn't just leave. I always felt bad because it was because of me so many bad things were happening. I have all this power but I was never able to keep bad things from happening in my life." "Don't worry Qahla, we will cure you," she said. Qahla smiled, he didn't bother to tell her the price that would have to be paid for his cure to work. "Come on, let's play a prank on Qwil," she said devilishly. They both raised a large amount of water and sneaked over to Quil. They levitated the water right over him and let it fall on him, waking him up with a jolt and making him wet as a dog. They laughed as Quil shook off the water and Qahla felt better. Better then he had in a long time.
And so it came to pass in the three days both sides got ready for the battle.
Shade devoured more hearts, feeding his hunger and power, eager to fight. He knew the battle would be intense and he welcomed the feeling of anticipation. It had been long since he fought a battle and his blood lust was still the only thing stronger then his power. The Quileute's and Cullen's worked with Terra on his plan to fight Shade and deal with his monstrosities. Jake would lead a team into the sewers while Terra took on Shade. Qahla would use his magic to monitor everything and relay what was happening to everyone staying behind. Terra knew things were about to happen, he could feel the workings of great powers and the lines of fate narrowing down as the future became written. He knew the ending was close, he just wasn't sure what kind of ending it would be. Everyone gathered in Edward and Bella's meadow. Qahla had been there a few times since he had been released from his stone. He had always felt a connection to it, he didn't know why. Terra's house was waiting for them when they arrived and no one questioned the houses strange power to appear from nowhere. "May I ask why you chose our meadow? Hasn't it been through enough?" Edward asked Terra. "Because, this is Qahla's place of power," Terra said. "His what?" Leah asked. "When a mystic casts spells and uses magic in a specific place for a certain amount of time, the mystics power bleeds into the location, imprinting the magical signature into that location. When a mystic is in their place of power their magic is at it's strongest and dominates over any other mystics who enters the same location. It won't keep them from using magic but it does give one an advantage," Terra said. "All that time he spent in this meadow in that stone, his power must have leaked out in small doses," Rachel said. "Well said Rachel, I see you do listen to me," Terra said. "In this place Qahla can focus his power and it will allow him to see the battle more easily." "So this is it then?" Billy asked. "Almost, we must wait for one more person," Terra said. "Who?" "Me." Kokopelli came walking into the meadow, his bag on his back. "Are you coming to help us fight?" Jake asked. "Hell no, that spirit would kick my hump. Your on your own there, but I am happy to contribute a little," he said. He handed Terra a small bag. "Happy hunting, I will sing a song for your good fortune," Kokopelli said. "Whats in the bag?" Jake asked. "Some tricks," was all Terra said. Leah and Embry were talking, Leah was staying while Embry went with Jake. "Be careful," she said. "I will," he said. "Seriously Embry, watch your back," she said. "Gosh Leah, you'd think you were in love with me or something," he said with a smile. She punched him in the shoulder. "Don't be an ass." "I will be fine Leah, and after we beat this thing you and me are going on another date," Embry said. Embry and Leah had been on two dates so far, they were still trying the dating thing. Their agreement was still in effect. He surprised her when he leaned forward and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "For good luck," he said. She smiled. Then she grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him closer, he closed his eyes, fearing she was going to clock him for the liberty he took. But to his immense surprise she gave him and more passionate kiss. She pulled back from him, she chuckled at the dumbfounded look on his face. "You'd best come back Call, I don't like it when someone breaks a promise to me," she said. "It is time," Terra said. He summoned his items, his stone knife, his staff and his crystal necklace. Then he returned to his true form. He tied the pouch Kokopelli gave him to his belt and stood ready and regal. "Wow, I have never seen your true form before Terra," Kokopelli said. "Don't suppose you know his true name," Jake asked. "Nope, no one knows and anyone that did is now dead," Kokopelli said. "Hey Terra, since we might die think you might tell us your name?" Paul asked. Terra smiled. "Sure." He held up his crystal for everyone to see. "Here it is, my true name." "Your name is crystal?" Paul asked. "No idiot. The carving in the crystal is my true name, it's a mixture of the sun and moon language," he said. "But no one speaks that!" "I do," Terra said with a grin. Jake, Sam, Paul, Embry, Seth, Emmett, Rose, Carlisle and Jasper gathered around Terra. "Good luck and may the spirits watch over you," Billy said. Terra cast a spell and the group vanished.Fusedtwilight: Next chapter Terra and Shade do battle, who will win?
