Chapter One: Change the World

Imagine a place only your soul can vision
The heart of a child who looks, sees and listens
She paints a picture using every color
And what she sees, she sees is like no other

One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
With everything I know you're made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
If everyone would stop and listen

The art of innocence make so much sense
But placed in the wrong hands, well then it's wasted
Filtered through the eyes of a pure mind
A one-of-a-kind paradise for you and I

Break the cycle, find your rhythm
Share the gift that you've been given

You can
You can change the world
You can change the world

Cole landed on his coach, not really feeling like doing anything now but to rot there and die, not that he could, he chuckled darkly. He felt like giving up, knowing that there was nothing that could happen in order to win Phoebe back. It seemed that evil always found a way back to him, no matter how much he tried to get rid of it. He closed his eyes, massaging his temple, all the stress was getting to him as well as the powers resettling into his system. The look in Phoebe's eyes where enough to make him want to end it all.

"What have you become Cole Turner?"

Cole jumped up from the couch he had been sitting on, and conjured an energy-ball in his hand. The stranger merely smiled. Cole took a moment look at her and noticed that she was dress in white robes; she had long red hair that made the golden flowers that were intertwined in her hair stand out. She was not the typical demoness, who usually wore things that left little to the imagination, using seduction to their advantage.

"I'm not a demon Cole, I'm a Guardian. Well to be more specific, you're Guardian."

Cole laughed, only good witches got White lighters, and he was far from that, as the Charmed Ones had made sure to hammer into his mind. He then noticed that he felt the familiar tug of someone intercepting his thoughts. Cole glared at the stranger and hurled the energy ball at them, only to see it vanish.

"Cole, this would go a lot easier if you'd just listened to me. Please sit down," his so-called 'Guardian" said as she herself sat down, figuring that if she tried something, he could just teleport himself out of there.

"I am you Guardian, but not the one you are thinking of. Each magical creature has a Guardian. It is the Guardian job to protect its charges destiny, good or bad, for the purpose of balance. If something goes wrong, and some other magical force tries to intervene, we have the power to intervene ourselves and help set things right. You were destined for such great things Cole and now you have become a shell of who you used to be."

"I'm not going to join your evil scheme to regroup the underworld. I am done with evil. It has caused nothing but pain." He stood up and rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes weary.

"As has good," she proclaimed "you must not forget that. Now all Guardians are neutral, under the rule of the Liang Yi."

"Ying and Yang."

"Precisely, you are a smart one," She grinned "well of course you are. The position of the Liang Yi is a hard one. You are exposed to both the greatest good and worst of evil."

"What does this have to do with me and your reason for being here?" Cole asked, already impatient with all this talk of good and evil. How did any of this concern him? Were the Higher Powers never going to tire of making the fool of him?

"Patience was never your virtue. Cole, do you have any idea why one might not last long in the position of the Liang Yi?"

"Do I really have choice about hearing the answer to that?"

"No." The Guardian said and smiled again before she explained, "It is because they were all Guardians before, and when they experience all the evil and good of the world, they lose their neutrality. This is were you come in. You are the only person who has experienced both the goodest good and worst evil in the world. You are the new chosen Liang Yi. We are offering you a chance to a new beginning where no one labels you because of your powers, is that not what you want?"

"What about Phoebe?"

"Well you see, if you accept this position, you will never have meet Phoebe. This also means that Phoebe will be able to love, and be happy. Is that not also your greatest desire Cole?"

Cole looked on to his Guardian, knowing that he had nothing to lose. He remembered Darryl's words, if he truly wanted Phoebe to be happy, he should stop being selfish, and do anything in his power to help her be happy, even if meant that they would never be together. He was about to accept when he realized that there was no proof to that this was not another demonic ploy. He had heard of the Liang Yi, there were many demons that had held the position that had been tempted by evil and lost themselves to the never-ending void.

"How do I know this isn't a trick?" He inquired raising and eyebrow.

At that moment, two white orbs encircled him and he knew the magical signature to belong to the elders.

"Because they sent me, they said you might trust them more than Evil. So what will it be Cole?"

His guardian extended his hand out to him. Cole gazed at it for a moment. A life where he never knew Phoebe had to be better than this. He took her hand, and the white light overtook him.

Phoebe watched as Cole teleported out and let go of Paige. She looked over at Piper, Leo and Paige who looked at her as if she had done something wrong.

"What so you guys expect me to do, he is evil now; I wasn't going to stay by his side. I'm going to go get ready for my date now."

Phoebe walked out of the attic, but not before she heard Paige tell Piper, "He did give up his powers and only took them for her sake, she could have least said thanks."

Phoebe sighed and continued to walk to her room, trying to ignore the tears that fell down.

Cole landed inside a symbol, which he recognized to be the Taijitu.

"Put one leg in each side."

He looked up and saw that across from his guardian. He did as he was told and faced her, awaiting his next set of directions.

"Relax; this will only hurt for a moment."

Cole stood there as his guardian sat in a meditative position, levitating in a circular motion. Soon white and black candles boarded the symbol. His guardian started to circulate him faster. Cole stood his ground and he heard his guardian voice reciting a spell.

Aufero Monumentum.

Aufero Sins.

Sino Redemptio.

Sino Animus vivo Congruenter

Per Bonus quod Malum.

Fio Liang Yi.

Cole felt his soul leave his body; neither thought of good nor evil consumed his body. He fell to his knees; the pull starting to take affect on is body. The last thing he saw was his guardian walk up to him and plant a soft kiss on his forehead before he fell back on the floor.

A woman flashed in as Elizabeth Turner killed Benjamin Coleridge Turner in the other room. She looked into the basket and picked up the small child inside. She concentrated and a new baby, similar to the baby she held in her arms flashed into the basket. She flashed out quickly and when Elizabeth came back, she was none the wiser that her child was no longer with her.

Aphrodite and Ares awaited, the Elders having said that they had important task for them. They were just readjusting to their powers, being the only Greek Gods to have been the most powerful in their perspective power, and the combination of the Gods was taking some time to adjust. In front of them flashed in a woman in white, they knew her to be the replacement Liang Yi. The Liang Yi walked up to Aphrodite and handed her the child. Ares looked at the Liang Yi expectantly.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"This child is to be the next Liang Yi; the perfect Liang Yi. The Elders have sent a messenger from the future and told me to give you this child. He was a half-demon, half-mortal child. His mortal half has not been completely removed, but he has been blessed with the divine so that he is now the perfect balance of good and evil. He is destined for greatness, but for that, he will need your help. You must teach him both the ways of love and war. He will understand quickly, for his previous life feelings are in him, but you will help him hone them and perfect them until he can completely suppress his mortality. He will grow quickly, and you will alternate by day. The world's balance depends on this."

Aphrodite nodded, already loving the child in her arms, while Ares just growled. The Liang Yi disappeared, to inform the Greater Good and the Darkest Evil that the order would be restored.

Phoebe woke up, knowing that something was wrong. She ran downstairs and saw Paige and Piper having breakfast already.

"Paige do you have potion ready?"

"Potion?"

"Yeah the vanquishing Potion"

"Vanquishing…for who?"

"For Cole; Paige I asked you to make the potion for me, I can't deal with him anymore!"

Her younger sister stared at her as if she was insane, "um, Phoebe…sweetie, whose Cole?"
