Dark Spell
Part One

    The moon rose into the night sky casting a pale light over the sleeping city.  A stranger appeared in a dark alley, shivering slightly from cold.  With a brief flash of light the cold disappeared, looking at the tattered rags she was wearing she waved a delicate hand and in there place a pair of black jeans and a dark red sweatshirt appear.  On her bare feet a pair of red socks and a pair of black runners materialized.  She had a purpose.  Enough done with her appearance she walked out of the ally and down the dimly lite street, keeping her mission in mind.
----------------------------
    Lexington laughed as Bronx bounded up to him, knocking him to the ground and slobbering all over his face.  "Hey, cut it out Bronx."  He choked out as he pushed the animal off him.
    "I think ee wants to go for a walk, lad."
    Lexington smiled as he looked at Hudson.  "I'd be glad to take him but he's too heavy for me to carry."
    "Not if Broadway and I come with you."  Brooklyn added as he offered Lexington a hand up.
    The smaller Gargoyle accepted and his rookery brother hauled him to his feet.  "Sounds good.  Except, who goes on patrol if all of us are walking Bronx?"
    Golaith put a large hand on his old mentor's shoulder.  "Are you up to a little flying tonight, my friend?"
    Hudson grinned, "Aye and some action, should it come our way."  He played with the hilt of his sword to illustrate his point.

    Goliath nodded before turning to the trio.  "Be back well before sunset and keep your eyes open in case of trouble.  Don't let any Humans see you if that's at all possible."
    Broadway's eyebrow rose, "Do you think we have enough time to get something to eat?"
----------------------------------
    The girl walked with descisive steps along the pavement.  She could sense the evil wizard's powers were getting stronger.  He would soon strike.  And come 'hell' or high water she was going to be there to stop him.  Messing with the timeline was a horrible thing but trying to alter a timeline in another dimension couldn't be allowed.  Being a Guardian, it was her duty to set it straight but she wasn't sure she was strong enough.
--------------------------------
    "Come on Lex.  Toss the stick to me.  We'll see if Bronx can intercept the pass."  Brooklyn shouted from his spot across the grassy field.
    Lexington pulled back his arm but before he could release the branch something grabbed onto his hand like a vise.  A voice whispered in his ear,"So, we meet again Flyx."
    Yanking his arm out of the grasp Lexington turned to face the person who'd grabbed him.  His jaw dropped when he turned and saw Goliath there, only it wasn't Goliath.  He was still the same physically except for an eyepatch over his right eye but he had an evil feel to him that seemed to turn the air around him to ice.

    "Goliath..." Broadway, Brooklyn and Bronx came running up to them, but befor Lex could warn them away the Goliath look-a-like turned to glare at them.  They stopped in their tracks before flying twenty feet backwards and smashing hard into the ground.
    Lexington's eyes grew wide, "Magic..."
    "Axel, don't move."
    The green Gargoyle looked up to see a young human 'girl'.  Her short blong hair, giving her face an impish quality.  Her black and red outfit making her look like a street punk, a very unusual contrast.
    "Ah, Sita.  I was wondering just how long it would take you to show up."  The evil Gargoyle said nonchantedly, smiling a syrup like smile at her.
    "Do you really want to fight here, Axel?  You know you'll loose, hands down.  You need time to recharge."  The young 'girl', Sita, challenged placing both of her hands on her hips.
    Behind him, Axel growled and Lexington heard an audible pop.  When he next looked behind him, Axel was gone.  Sita approached him with the agility of a cat and he felt his muscles tense defensively.  Until she smiled, "Don't worry Flyx.  I won't hurt you."
    Puzzeled Lexington looked over at his friends, glad to see they were getting up, "Why did you and... Axel call me Flyx?  My name is Lexington."
    Sita's smile vanished and she stared at him with eyes too old for the youth of her 'body'.  "That's not important right now.  Right now, you and your rookery brothers must head back to the castle.  From now on you and your clan must stay there if you wish to be safe."  She turned and began to walk away.
    "Sita, wait!"
    She stopped and stared at him.  "I will come again, when you are in need, but for now heed my warning."  Then in a puff of bluish smoke she was gone.
