It was night time and the Gargoyles were coming back from a routine Patrol. As they landed at the clock tower there was only three hours left before sun raise. Angela was on the ledge over looking Manhattan at its beauty and she was curious to know more about the humans world and there way of life for she was raised in Avalon and she only saw forest and rivers with mountains. But Avalon did have danger around every corner for it was protecting its self from outsiders. Angela though to her self at least here she was not alone she had family and got to be with her real father Goliath and she though of Elisa as her real mother for her former mother demona was evil and always wanted to kill the humans. Angela said to her self it is really not that bad here sure there is good and bad humans but we make do. She gazes at the stars and sees one fly by than she gets a feeling that something or someone is coming to her world. She stands up and says to her self what is this feeling that is deep inside i have not felt this before? Next to the clock tower was a library that Goliath was in reading over the books just trying to clear is mind of demona trying again to kill Elisa with a life draining spell. When he feels it too a change in the wind than he looks down to see his was on a page in the book that talked about a kingdom falling to a race of beings that died out long ago they were called the guardians. Far away in a abandoned ruin that was once a castle of great importance is now hollow and empty with the wind blowing through the broken windows. Outside it was a snow storm and out in the distance was Caim walking through the snow seeking the castle for there was something calling to him from this world. As he enters the ruin castle. He dusts him self off and grabs some of the old wooden chairs and breaks them and uses is sword and a stone to start a fire as he sits down in the corner of the room to rest his eyes with his cloak around him. He listens to the wind and sounds of the old castle thinking what was calling him there. Than a voice speaks through the silence. Caim draws his sword and looks around the room and than he heads to the next which was a grand hallway he sees a pally of stones that looked out of place Caim walks over and knees to pick up a piece of the stones to see a gargoyles face. Caim says what happen here in Avalon so long ago. Than Caim hears the voice again from underneath the pally of stones and so he rushes to uncover it to see a female gargoyles face crying tears. Caim gently picks her head up to speak she says it is true the legends said you would come to see me and hear my cry for help. Caim removes his cloak to show his face to her and she says and you are handsome too. Caim says thank you uh...? She says oh I am sorry I am Angela it is nice to meet you Caim the ninth Guardian. Caim says I wish I could says the same little one but what happened here to this world? Angela says well it started with the arch sage he came and destroy the creatures and mountains and forests even the lord of these lands where no match for him. we tired to help but were turn to stone and shattered by his minions. Angela cries again and Caim holds her head against his chest saying no worries I am sure I can piece you back together again but Angela says no there is no time the arch sage is going through every time line that has my father and any other gargoyles to destroy them please you must help us for there will be no future for no creature if he successes. Caim says ok but I will be back for you just hold on a little while longer but she shatters in his arms and Caim cries out. Her last words were I wish we could have meet in a different life. Caim places his cloak back on him and walks out into the storm once again passing statues of frozen soldiers and creatures all dead from the war that was brought to them by the arch sage. A portal opens and Caim steps through to home to plan his next move but he did not walk away empty handed he took a piece of Angela's body with him her stone heart to keep at his side for he wished there was a way to save her. He heads to the basement to see his brother Death but he was a Guardian that left the bloodline long before Caim was functioning. As Caim steps into the room that was the third door on the left that belong to Thomas (Death) Caim took a step and Thomas held up a hand for he was talking to his sister that he adopted and Adored she was asking what he wanted for dinner, now for a 10 year old girl she could cook and Thomas was honored to have her as his family he would die for her that is how much he loved her and wanted her to have a good life. Thomas says ok sweetie be safe and I will be home soon right after your brother Caim asks me what is on his mind and her name was Maria she says please tell him I said hello and be careful on his missions. Thomas says I will bye bye sweetie and he hangs up his phone and turns to his brother Caim while saying so what is on your mind that I can give my advice too? Caim says well I was in the ruins of Avalon and Thomas says how many times did we tell you that is not your land and that is to be forgotten to time and Caim says I understand but what if you were being called there for a purpose? Thomas looks shocked and says go on Caim explain what your heart is telling you? Caim says I know my role brother and that my end is coming soon for I am the last of my kind but I wish not to hide from my destiny I will give everything I have and continue too until I have nothing left to give. Thomas says you where always the one that was to out live us if only we had as much heart and love as you have brother Caim sheds a tear and says I am sorry I had no choice brother you died before I could save you or Kit my sister as for the others they choice to going against us and where greedy for more power. Thomas reaches out towards Caim and touches his should and sees Caim digging there graves and him plus Kits too as he screamed in pain and cried out loud Emily and Clara held him as the sky felt his pain and Angels cried out for him as rain came pouring down. Emily steps in and says stop Thomas Caim wishes to not remember that day we try to keep it from him so he can continue to save those that need it. Thomas says how are you coming with terms with that one day Caim will not be around to be a Guardian? Emily says Clara will be the next and she will make him proud for she is the next to take the bloodline to the distances and as for Caim he will live on and I will next let him die for I will give my life for him as he would for me. Thomas says that is what I wanted to hear for I do not wish for his dead I wish for him to continue with that mighty fire he keeps going thanks to you and everyone that loves him. So when the time comes I will let you make the call ok Emily and Emily looks confused as Thomas fades away. Emily helps Caim up and Caim hears Thomas as well as Emily as he says Caim there is a storm coming to Avalon so if you wish to keep being the hero use the crystal with a drop of your own blood to go to the young Avalon to see the out come but bewared you are going to bring wrath back with you. You have been ware and Caim says I am no Hero and Thomas says no matter hero or monster you wish to save the fate of that Gargoyle and her kind than go and be the Guardian but remember the lord with be your enemy so strike fast and swift. Emily takes the crystal and Caim to the bedroom to rest his mind. Caim lays on the bed and Emily trying again to bury his worst memories again. Emily says I am sorry my beloved but I can't ease for you will need it later to over come the nightmares ahead. In Manhattan Angela wakes to meet her father that was in the library studying. Angela says what are you reading father and Goliath says just looking at the books of folklore creatures, Angela looks to see the symbols and pictures of the Guardian and she says wait father they were at the castle in Avalon I remember they wizard Magus he teach us how to read the writings and it said that if you ever wanted to save or condemn a world that you only wheeled his name but the rest of the markings where to old to make out in the catacombs. Goliath says well it is in the book that this legend is also in Ireland too with markings saying that is name is Abomination the darkness but Angela looks and says that is wrong his name is said but Goliath was to later as Angela says Caim the fair hearted and in Caim's world he awakes to the call and walks down says as his daughter says Father you are being summoned and Caim says thank you my dear daughter please take good care of your sisters and mother. Clara says I will father as she hands him his three swords the arm blade, the scythe-sword for his back and the samurai sword for is side. Delova opens the portal as she says do you know what you are doing Caim and Caim jumps through it as he says i have no choice my beloved it is my curse and role to play. Out the other end Caim comes and the wind howls while the trees shake and the earth breaks. Caim slows him self down by using his wings that were made out of crystals. He lands down in Central park. Goliath and Angela sense that something was wrong and head out side to see Caim landing in the park with the portal above him closing. Caim just stands on the lake till his summoner comes to ask for what is needed to be done. Angela says is that the Guardian and Goliath says maybe but it could be lord over Oberon sending a soldier to fight us again. Angela says I can help but Goliath says no it is to damage you much stay and watch over the clock tower and Elisa comes and says we can watch a movie together as we wait. But as Goliath takes off to Central park with the other gargoyles broardway, hudson,lexington. Elisa takes Angela in her car to the park to see what is going on. Caim looks around and says I hate the stone and metal cities bur it destroys the beauty of the forests. The people that saw Caim come from the portal start to gather but Goliath and the others stay in the forest to stay hidden while the police come and say hold it right there buddy. Caim just smiles under his cloak and Delova says shall I freeze them my beloved and Caim says I guess so but they seem to be having fun but I am not here to maybe there Delova in her scythesword form spins on Caim's back as a blast of wind stops all but the Gargoyles and Elisa Angela says why is this so familiar and she sees Caim handing a stone Gargoyle heart and he turns to see her and says Angela is that you?
