Thought I'd try an Guardians Of Time Fic there are way way too few. Tell me what you think :P

Obviously i dont own such genius if i did i'd have something published by now...Anyway on with the story

Angel Falls

Chapter One: Arkerian

I don't like to admit it but even now a month after the fateful battle I am still in shock. My father's death is still no easier to bear. Even though I only found out about him being my father not so long ago it doesn't make his passing any easier to accept. I still can't accept that he knew that Lathenia would kill him and did nothing to prevent this from happening to him.

But then he knew that my uncle Dartemis would have to one-day rule as he was meant too. Matt has taken control of the Guard and the memorial to the two sibling immortals has begun. Matt has become the great leader everyone expected him to be.

He has once called me cousin. Though since he still thinks of Isabel as a sister this has got to be strange for him.

Isabel.

Every thought I have comes back to her. My heart sings. She's coming up to see me today. Everything in Angel Falls is a lot more settled. But now Isabel comes here because she wants to not because she has too.

The doors of my chamber open and she comes in. I go out to meet her and when she sees me her face breaks out into a smile and my heart turns over. I'm still not sure she knows the power she has over me. And even if she did I'm not sure believe it. She runs in and kisses me and I can't believe I'm as lucky as I am. We kiss and pull back and I see Ethan stood in the doorway smiling at us. "Some things never change." He says smiling.

He might be smiling but I can feel his pain from here. He makes no effort to mask it. What would be the point? We all know he is hurting over Rochelle. "How are you Ethan?" I asked gently. "Hurting." Was his truthful reply. I nodded. "It won't go away but it might get easier." "Yeah. I guess it will." He murmured. I studied him and he held my gaze.

Few know Ethan like I do. He was part of the guard when he was four. One of the youngest initiated members. I was his guardian and I know some never gave him the credit he deserved.

I know now, for example, that Ethan's instinct about Mr. Carter, Marcus was correct. He was the spy within the Guard one of the most senior members with about as much clearance.

The anger still burns even now. But then I pull myself back to the present. There is a reason for Isabel and Ethan's arrival. The Guard may not have its same purpose as it once did but The Named still have.

Matt has given me a mission to give Isabel and Ethan. They are to hunt a pack of demons that escaped us in the battle. Our task now is to close all the gaps in the worlds and kill the demons and wren that still stalk our plane.

Matt has also began to rebuild the Critadel. It will float along side the temple for my father and Lathenia. We will use it as a base to hunt the creatures that do not belong her and hunt them into the past as that is where they have gone.

"I have a mission." I said finally. Ethan looked relieved. I understood his motives perfectly. He wanted something to keep his mind off the fact he had just lost someone he loved.

And he had loved Rochelle.

I had known he had. He was always the one to come to her defence always protecting her even while he claimed to hate her. I had known. I wished I could have helped him I know Isabel wishes she could have stopped her vision from coming true.

"What is the mission?" Isabel asked grasping my hand. I squeezed it and then. "All three of us are going." I said. I didn't often go on missions but I was one of only three people who had the powers of an immortal and two of them where busy.

The job was given to me. "We're going after a group of demons and we're to seal the hole from which they came." I said. "Hence the reason I need to go but you two are there in case I need back up and also there to fight." I often worried about Isabel but I knew putting her in the second line as opposed to the front would only annoy her and besides she was more than capable.

"Where are we going?" Ethan asked. I smiled. "Actually for the moment we're staying here." They blanched. "What?" They nearly screamed, "You mean the rip is here in Angel Falls?" Isabel and Ethan demanded. "It is." I said nodding. "Most appear to be here. But a lot are in the past. Matt is working on getting the equipment working so we can close those. Who knows how much damage they could do."

I cut Ethan off. I knew what he was going to say. "I know. But time is on our side and Matt is proving to have more knowledge of the Critadel and its building than anyone was aware. Besides my uncle will join us soon." "Dartemis?" Ethan asked.

I nodded. "He managed to save the equipment and many of those who escaped to his realm for safety will return soon." I walked over to my sphere. It had been one of the few pieces of equipment to survive.

"These are the demons we are going after." I indicated the figures in the sphere. "They are fire demons and cause havoc."

"The forest fires." Ethan said. I nodded. Angel falls had been suffering from a massive bout of forest fires and while no one had been killed people had been hurt. "They are also causing trips in the walls between this world and the next. That portal must be closed."

Ethan and Isabel nodded.

"When do we begin?" Ethan asked. I knew he was eager to get started. As was I. These demons needed to be sent back to where they belonged and I aimed to be the one to be able to do just that.

"In an hour. We need to get the equipment ready and get going but an hour." Ethan nodded and looked at the sphere again.

I gave Ethan his bow and arrow back. Looking at it I felt rather than saw his face contract in horror. "Ethan," I said gently, "you'll need it."

"Arkerian," He said his voice clogged with emotion "I can't use that." His eyes hardened. "No. I won't use that. It killed Rochelle." "Its your weapon Ethan." I said gently "You will need it as we will need ours." I gave Isabel her own weapon and armed myself with my own.

"You will need them to fight the demons that remain." "Arkerian I WONT!" Ethan roared.

Isabel jumped and stared between Ethan and I. "Ethan you didn't kill Rochelle." His eyes went round and I knew I had hit the cause of his pain.

I had suspected it for a while but now I finally realised. Ethan had wished he had died so Rochelle could live.

"I did Arkerian." He said so quiet I wasn't sure I'd heard him. "Don't you see if Marduke hadn't wanted me he wouldn't have come after us and Rochelle wouldn't have had to die to keep me alive."

There were tears in his eyes and he blinked rapidly to clear them. I crossed the room and placed his bow and arrow in his hands.

"This is yours. You will need it." He went to pull away but I held him still. "You didn't let that arrow go did you?" I asked him.

"No!" Ethan was outraged I'd even suggest something as evil as that. "Then you didn't kill her."

Ethan looked at me a moment and then said "Thanks Arkerian." "I've been telling you that for weeks!" Isabel said stomping her foot.

"No one ever listens to me." "We do." Ethan said. "But Arkerian has the added of advantage of seeing right through me."

I scoffed. "Not anymore. Matt and Neriah have taught you well." He smirked. "Rochelle did too."

His voice didn't catch and I knew he was on the road to recovery.

I thanked god. We needed Ethan if we were going to succeed at this.
