(okay, maybe I can pull my character back in for this somehow . . .)
Deke
Deke twisted over, something was wrong in the world. The balance was turning, something was tipping the scale.
His mother and father had unforetunately died because they had no other's of their kind supporting them. However, Deke had managed to survive in the limbo vortex he had created for them; he had survived by himself for a long time before this, so why was it any differet?
Slowly, but surely he was going to fade away. His eyes opnened, "There's an omnious presence on earth . . ."
He sat up and looked around his limbo, it was just black nothingness and he was floating in the middle of it. His parents bodies had dissintergrated years ago, but how time moved in this limbo was beyond him. He was sure it had been about 3 years. Because he knew he was now older, taller and stronger. . . Maybe even strong enough to break the limbo.
Evil was stirring on earth and he knew, as his job of being the only mediator between good and evil, that he had to do something to keep the balance.
Deke stood up in the blackness, closing his eyes closed - concentrated, his inner demon and whitelighter spoke up, You, know we're just going to wreak more havoc on the world?
Deke winced at his inner demon, SHUT UP!
His inner whitelighter spoke up, Come on Deke, I know you can do it, even if that THING doesn't!
Deke nodded and pulled all his strength from both sides; good and evil. Slowly the vortex of blackness diaapated and he was left at a house.
The house he had been attracted to, what he thought was 3 years ago, but obviously was not. Though he had physically aged three years, nothing had changed. Excep the feeling of weight change in the balance.
A smile upon his face he walked up to the door and knocked expecting to be thrown out like last time.
