My Highlander, My Love, Part Three:Forbidden Love, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.

The Four Corners of the Earth

Winds from the fourth corners of the world blasted throughout earth destroying everything in its path. The seelie , and Unseelie king of Fays, Kalan and Sidri were desperately trying to hold back the winds but without the most powerful Fay, Hawk, the task was almost impossible.

The Druids gathered together for two days in the Private library trying to come up with a solution, but they were divided and argued the entire time. Bella who sat quietly in the corner was running out of patience with them. She knew how crucial it was that they come to a conclusion and take action before the walls drop.

The McCanes, and the McClouds were still residing at Sterlinshire, and have become strong allies with the MacAlisters, they knew how crucial it was that they stick together to strengthen their positions as the saviors of earth, but if the McNeals were to join them, they would be more successful with their battles, for the McNeals hold universal power and Blane who was one of the chosen ones, would benefit the rest of them.

"If Asia would have shut her mouth and followed the rules, we would not be in this predicament!" Bruce McCane barked, breaking the the silence in the room. "We need to teach our women that we are in charge and our word is bounded by the laws of the universe!"

"Asia acted out of bravery, she had visions and only spoke to save our people! If you want to teach the women that we men are in charge you can start with your wife Liandra, and your sister Isabella who are just as strong minded as our women are!" Silas couldnt help but come to his daughters defense.

Bruce drew his eyes brows together and clenched his jaw, he knew it would not be good to argue with Silas, their families have become strong allies and he has respect for the MacAlisters. "Yes you are right, we all need to lay down the law where our women are concerned. They are strong willed and out of control!"

"Let's focus on our bigger problem please!" Michael jumped in and said, "According to Stephan, the soulmate connection between Asia and Blane was unavoidable."

"Why didn't your son warn us!" Camron McCloud who was all the way on the other side of the room barked.

"If my son warned us, then we would have taken measures to ensure our safety and history would have been disturbed, and you know what that would mean!" Michael did not like it when anyone spoke against his son. "My son is well aware of what he should say or what he shouldn't say, he has the worlds burden on his back and doesn't need to worry about people attacking his every move and questioning his behavior, Stephan takes his position as savior of the world seriously, I do not doubt anything my son says or does!"

"Then where is he, why is Stephan not at this important meeting if he takes his position seriously!" Camron could not help but add.

**************

The light was blinding, blazing like fire in the heavens, as the Enlightened Beings gathered around Stephan with love and compassion. When his soul was created, he was given to them to raise and to teach him what and who he was. They adored him from infancy and were very proud of the soul he had become. When it was time for him to be born on earth he was well trained and prepared to take on the roll as Savior of the world. The Enlightened Beings waited patiently for Stephan to recover from the transition to the heavens, they knew why he was there, and they were prepared for all his questions.

When the energy around Stephan's body slowed down, and light burst and illuminated from his soul, the Druid immediately felt the warmth and love that surrounded him. He took a moment to allow the flow of energy to embrace him before he spoke.

"Why?" Was all that he was able to say, confused and unsettled with the written word of earths blueprints.

The Enlightened Beings looked at each other with concern before the one that was the brightest and oldest soul amongst them spoke, "It is for the greatest purpose of man kind that thy will, be done." His voice was soft, and soothing.

"Why is there a need to spill more blood on earth? To whom does this benefit? Why can't there be peace on earth!" Stephan said in a raised tone of voice, unnerving the Beings.

"What is written can never be unwritten, my child." The Enlightened Being said, knowing and understanding full well what is in Stephan's heart.

"I have known for the written word to be changed before, why can't you do something to change it again?"

"Yes my child, there have been rare occasions that history has changed its course by human intervention, because there is free will, but Asia has chosen this path, and we can not under any circumstances interfere against her free will. Her choices brought fourth the chain reaction of what is to come, and now the blue prints have been rearranged." The Being explained.

The Druid's shoulders dropped and he felt helpless, "Is there no hope for the human civilization?  Is there nothing we can do to help secure peace on earth?"

"Yes, there is only one thing that can be done to change the course of history yet one more time, but I'm afraid it will be a costly one."

Stephan noticed a sudden change in the eyes of the beings as they gathered closer to him and cold fear struck him. He knew what the one thing was and his heart bled with grief. "No, I shall not sacrifice Alana!"

"My son, Alana is the light of the world and was born to Fullfill her destiny."

"No!" Stephan cried with passion, "leave her alone, she did nothing wrong!"

"Your only hope on earth is Alana."

"Take my soul, punish me, not my child!"'Stephan begged.

"Alana will not be punished, she has chosen all on her own to be the light of the world before she was born on earth, she is a strong and powerful woman and can save the world all by herself." The Being explained.

"There must be a lifeline, I know there is, there is always is a lifeline!"

The beings looked at each other quietly before the most enlightened one spoke, "yes you are right, there is a life line, but no one can interfere should the lifeline is given. There are rules and regulations one must follow."

"I will make sure she followed the rules and regulations, please help,her!"

"No Stephan it doesn't work that way, no one not even you can interfere with the rules and regulations, you will not be allowed to help her. She would have to make the right choices all by herself and not be guided by anyone or else all will crumble and there will be no hope after that."

"Just what exactly is it that you want from her?"

She must connect with the black smith in order for earth to be saved."

"Why a Fay, why him!"

"He was chosen,  because he is the only one that has the power invested in him to connect with her, if that connection doesn't happen then all is doomed. Alana will fall from grace."

"What? How?"

"She will throw herself on Gabriel and the archangel will lose his faith and will power in her arms and that will trigger Armageddon."

"And how will she connect with the black smith when her heart is already given to Gabriel?"

"With a kiss, once their lips connect she will feel a powerful pull in his direction and they will connect soon after that. Then Gabriel won't fall from grace and earth will be secure once again."

A single tear glided down the Warriors handsome chiseled face, the Beings are asking for the impossible. He knew the love Alana feels for Gabriel and all his hope's vanished.
