When Hope brings new into your life

[hopeburnsbright]

Avalon had not expected the battle to wage so hard. Bullets hurt, and even with his shields, Avalon felt the burn of pain in his shoulder. Due to the nature of his light-made suit, no wound was visible, but lavendar colored blood dripped off the point of his elbow as he held his sword of light aloft.

Dirty and grim, Avalon floated an inch from the muddy, bloody ground as he went forward. In his wake, the warlord's minions lay on the jungle floor, incapacitated. They all stared into nothing, taken with visions of Hope brought on by a touch of Avalon's sword. They would be no bother any more. He was headed for the dungeon where it was believed civillians were being kept.

Extending his left hand, Ava grunted under his breath at the effort, and a single shot of blue light erradicated the cell lock before him. The door swung open inwards, and without fear, the Blue Lantern swept through.

The room was dark when suddenly, it was filled with blue light that seemed almost white, it was so pure. In the center of it was the winged young man, his sword of light held in tight fingers. He overed there in the dark for a second before the light and sword was gone, leaving him standing on the dirt floor.

"Is everyone alright?" the figure asked, his determined expression melting into one of tenderness. Children. They had held children under lock and key. Avalon wanted to cry.

She knew everything about him, too. In fact, Hannah might know Avalon as well as he fancies he knows himself, tough that would be proven in time. For now, he seemed happy to see her, and comes to sit across from the girl, his expression excited. "You accepted!" was the first thing out of his lips.

"Yes!" She bounces slightly with a happy smile.

"It was..." She had been told she would have to face the demons she had buried one day. That it would test her hope but she knew all would be well.

"It was the right thing for me. I am happy. Thank you for bringing me here, Brother Avalon."

"We all walk our own path." replied Avalon with a sage nod. He then scribbed a hand through his hair, and drew in a measured breath before saying "I am based out of Earth, too. Though you were choosen because you are from Earth,bwhere I am not. I was born on a planet called Naltor, in Sector 5." The young man then grinned, "I get to be your mentor. I hope I do a good job."

"Ah," she looks very pleased by that. "This will give me a chance to explain the situation to the Mother Superior."

She is glad and knows that it will not disappoint the Mother. She had not been worried but she knows she can not reasonably take her vows and become a Nun now, her path has changed.

"I think you will, Brother. You did a very good job at helping me save the children. You stayed as calm as I did when there were evil things in that place. You.... showed them what mercy you could. I am pleased you will be teaching me."
