Chapter 1 - The Return

Seemingly from the depths of space, a beam of light hits the surface of the planet and was gone as fast as it came. And out of the five mile long crater in the ground comes a figure leaking a bone-chilling aura emerges. As it moves forward and makes its way toward the shoreline, the surrounding plant-life shrivel up and die.

While the figure walks towards the ocean it begins to modify itself, constantly shifting and morphing as if trying to find the right shape. Eventually, before it reaches the water, the figure takes the form of a female demon with red skin covered with black, jagged stripes and two menacing horns on her head. As she approaches the shoreline she says but a single word.

"Move."

The vast ocean before her splits at her command as if knowing itself to be inferior to this strange woman. (a/n: Girl Power! cool [/Scripts/tinymce/js/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif]) She starts to cross the path before her until she suddenly stops and looks up. A fiery sphere of flames is quickly approaching her location but she chooses to stand her ground. Ever so slightly the sphere changes its course and crashes a good 15 feet in front of her.

"Ortig!"

Out of the flames appears another woman that lunges at "Ortig" who simply brushes off her attack.

"Actually Belv, it's Anya now. Ortig is soo~ two millenia ago" she says with an amused smile.

"I don't care what your name is, you're dead!"

Several exchanges between the two end in Belv being pinned to the ground while Anya sits comfortably on her back laughing. It takes a couple of minutes of struggling before Belv finally submits and yells

"OKAY I GIVE UP SO GET OFF OF MEEE!!"

"I don't know Belv, I quite like the nice view I get from up here." Anya replies as she sneaks a peak at Belv's ass.

"Ortig you pervy old bastard!" Belv says while blushing heavily.

"I already said my name isn't Ortig anymore. I'm Anya now. Get it through your dense head."

"I am not dense! I'm just a little slow...wait no!....I mean...."

While the conversation goes on a third person joins the mix. This newcomer also appears in the same maner as Belv. Except instead of the sphere of flames it is more like a ball of light. Anya takes notice of her presence almost immediately. In fact, she knew said ball of light was on its way over halfway through the fight with Belv. A figure emerges from the crash site.

"Well what do we have here? Belv, care to explain?"

"Um...ahem...I was just at the Garden when I fel-"

Anya interrupts Belv "Hey there Gren. Long time no see."

"Uhh do I know you? Because I don't think we've ever..." she freezes

"Oh? Is it coming back to you now? Do you remember who I am?" she asks.

A frozen Gren sudennly jumps towards Anya. However instead of an attack there is only a hug, a tear filled hug that is long overdue.

"You're back. You finally came back!"

"Yes Gren" replied a smiling Anya "I'm finally back...I'm finally home."
