skieblueI have decided to repost this since it has been edited since it was first posted in my journal and a lot of the later chapters were posted in a journal that Michelle and I shared. So I will go ahead and post the entire story here, one chapter per day. Then, I will post some of the sequels I am writing to it if I get brave enough.
Prologue
Kris left Arda in a hurry, taking his cousin Lia with him. He had to leave his new wife Calyna behind, but he promised to return after seeing Lia to safety. Kris brought Lia safely back to Mithgar, and to the Avagon Sea, then left her to find her way back to the Vale.
When he returned to Arda Calyna was waiting for him. "Did you get Cordelia back safely?" she asked.
"I accompanied her as far as the Avagon. She can get passage to Pellar, and someone will get her an escort to the Vale. Mithgar is her home, our home, and she will be safe there. What about you? Did you recover the Anachron?"
"Yes. We still don't know who took it, though. He just vanished. It's like he opened a portal or something."
"Hmm . . ." Kris said. He had an idea who it might have been, but did not say anything. "What else happened?"
"Not much. The Anachron is safe in Minas Tirith. We are trying to decide what to do with it. The Heralds and the Mages will tend to it. I think they plan to split it up again. Ayala will guard one piece; Tolar will guard another; and Eldarion and Lunea will guard the third."
"Has Eldarion agreed to serve as High King until the Heir of Luthan arrives?"
"Yes, and he is betrothed to Lunea."
"A Herald and a Mage. Their child . . . if they have one . . . would have very strong powers. Although, the child of Eldarion and Mordel also stands to inherit powers. Mordel is a witch, after all."
"The child of Eldarion and Mordel may be the only heir. According to Edric, Mages are unable to have children. There will be no legitimate heir unless a miracle occurs."
"But miracles do occur, solis," Kris said. He did not say anything more of what the Source was telling him. He knew that there would be an heir, a legitimate one at that.
"Do you sense anything?" Calyna asked.
"No. Not really. This is not one of my skills. I am not a seer, but anyone trained in the Source will see glimpses of the future, but we are trained not to trust them."
"What did you sense, though?" Calyna asked again.
"Nothing. However, even if they do have a child, their child could be evil. Especially considering how much power he would have. I do not wish to stay in this world and see it come under the rule of evil."
Calyna was silent for a few moments. She walked away from him. "I might need to stay here," she said at last. "The Council liked how things were done on Mithgar with the High King having an Elven advisor. I have been asked to serve as Eldarion's advisor."
"I assume that was because of your ties to Edric," Kris said. "Are you going to accept?"
"I don't know yet. I want to stay with you, and if you want to leave . . ."
"We are leaving then. If you want to take some time to say goodbye, you can do so, but I will not return to Gondor. Or anywhere else in this world for that matter. I will wait here until you are ready to leave, and then we can go through the portal to Mithgar. From there, we can go to where we will live. There is a portal in Drearwood, that I would like to follow."
"I can leave now," Calyna said. "The only people I would need to say goodbye to are Edric, and Ayon, Aine, and Tamitha. But something tells me I will see them again."
"Are you sure this is the choice you wish to make, Caly?" He asked her with a hint of concern in his voice.
"Yes. I can see no other choice." She looked back once more before joining Kris, leaving her home behind to follow her husband to a new world.
This story is a crossover between several fantasy series, and the tv show Angel the Series. I will mention now that in this story I ignore anything that happened after the early second season of Angel. Also, the fantasy stuff is based heavily on some online roleplaying games, so there are a lot of original characters, as the prologue makes clear. Kris is the only character in this part that is actually my creation. Other characters that will how up that I actually created are: Lia, Isethia, and Lothiniel. There are novelization of some of the roleplaying games that I will either post, or continue post and tag the earlier posts so they can be found.
