Suddenly the temple filled with brillant light. Brightening even the darkest corner, blinding white light shot everywhere. Ma G stopped her chanting and closed her eyes which were burning from the brillence of it. She shook even as the temple shook, great fear filled her little body and mind.

Slowly the light faded and Ma G could open her eyes again. There was still light, but not so blinding as before. In the center of the floor, standing there, was a shining figure. Ma G couldn't believe her eyes, the being standing there looked somewhat like a norn. Then again, not quite like the norn she knew. Standing taller then normal norns, she had long flowing blond hair, streaked with silver. Her eyes a fire bright green with flecks of shining gold, and an intelligence that was not to be seen in the eyes of her own norns.

"Ma G", the figure spoke, with the words echoing through the cellars.

"Ma G", the figure contuined. "You have chanted to the Shee for the last time. The Shee are not Gods! The shee were like you, only more inteligent and evoled then the norn and the Grendel. They have banished themselves from Albia, they no longer attempt to watch over this world."

"Ahhh" Ma G gasped.

"Listen well little one", the figure spoke. "My name is Alpha, I am the beginning, but not the ending. Because your quest for the norns has been heard by us, and you ever never committed the sin of waste, I will grant you several gifts to aid you."

"The first gift is the one of vision, you will be able to see things that are happening far away that may have impact on Albia. Pay attention to these visions though they may not make any sense to you at the time you have them."

"The second gift is the albity to remember the past, the far past. You need this for long ago you were given the fruit of forgetfullness until you no longer felt the pain of the past, your pain, and the pain of Albia. The pain of the Sins of the Shee against all of Albia."

"Listen to the memories, though they come slowly, listen. Remember the past"

"But," Ma G began to say.

"NO buts" Alpha said, "remember it", she said as her image started to shimmer and fade. "Remember you Name little one" her image all but gone now. "Remember you Name, remember Grace..."

Feel free to make story
