"The Slayer? What has she got to do with this?" David asked.
"It is a long story and I need to give you the background to it all. Some 
of it you would have already been told. Some, you won't. Let's just say that 
it is important enough for you to shut up and listen until I finish." Albert 
grumped at David. David for his part was all ears. Albert began.
"We Aboriginals have creation stories like any other people. For us the 
World was created by the Great Creation Spirit, the Rainbow Serpent. She 
created the world and all living things, shaped the land and made it fit for 
people to live on. She also created spirits who were to protect the land and 
guide the people. Each spirit had a particular role, be it a sky spirit to 
bring rain or a guiding spirit to lead people in the way that least harmed 
the land. The Rainbow Serpent also gave free will to people and her spirits 
to chose the path that they would follow.
"This free will enabled people and spirits to chose good or evil. Some 
spirits decided that they would not serve the Rainbow Spirit who was now 
sleeping to regain her strength after creating the world. Some spirits wanted 
people to serve them, rather than the other way round. Some wanted to destroy 
the world and reshape it as they saw fit. Others had their own agenda.
"So there was 2 camps of spirits, one good and one evil. And since good 
was not really into fighting, evil dominated the world. The only thing that 
stopped evil from destroying the world was the fact that evil was busy 
fighting itself to determine who would rule. 
"In the mean time good had decided that if they didn't get organised and 
fight evil then evil would destroy them all. So the good spirits came 
together and from which a number of spirits decided to become warriors for 
good with the others providing what help they could.
"Eventually, after many great battles, good gained the upper hand over 
evil. Good, however, lacked the power to destroy all evil. So they used what 
power they had to lock as much of evil away from the world as possible. As 
evil was removed one fed on a human and mixed his blood with the mans' blood. 
That person fed on another human and mixed their blood together. Thus were 
born vampires.
"The Rainbow Serpent awoke and saw the destruction wrought by evil. She 
saw that vampires could very well mean the end of humans. She also saw that 
evil will try to escape its prison. So, before she left the world, the 
Rainbow Serpent created two warrior spirits to be placed in a man and a 
woman. These two spirits would give the person that they were in great 
strength, speed, and healing ability.
"The female spirit, Shelgui, would hunt vampires. When she died, the 
spirit would goto another girl and continue the fight. She would become known 
as the Slayer. The male spirit, Gangui, would enter a baby the moment it was 
born. It would grow with the boy and become a powerful warrior. His destiny 
was to prevent evil from destroying the world. Once the man was killed, 
Gangui, would wait until he was next needed. Gangui is currently in you 
David. Don't ask me why because I don't know, all I know is what I'm telling 
you." Albert said anticipating David's inevitable question.
"Now we fast forward to the early 70's. I was in London, after having 
been finally accepted into the Watchers Council. I wasn't a Watcher as such 
as I didn't train a Slayer. Partly because I was already to old, partly 
because I wasn't a born Watcher, and partly because there has never been a 
Slayer born in Australia, as you know." David just nodded. He knew the 
reasons well.
"I met this wayward character; hate-the-world, played rough, practiced 
magic for self pleasure or gain. For some reason we became good friends. He 
was rebelling against his destiny, he left Oxford and was doing anything to 
avoid his destiny.
"You see his father was a Watcher, as was his father before him. He was 
destined to become a Watcher and he rebelled against it. We were quite an odd 
pair. He was fighting so hard to avoid becoming a Watcher and I had fought so 
hard to become one.
"Anyway he was seeing a girl, my brother's grandaughter, who was over 
there for a year on a working holiday. They ended up going their separate 
ways when she went back to Australia. He later did a fooling and fatal thing. 
He stopped rebelling and I helped him come to terms with what he did. I used 
what influence I had to get him back into Oxford and for him to be trained as 
a Watcher.
"My grand niece discovered she was pregnant to this lad when she returned 
to Australia. She had a difficult labour and died not to long after giving 
birth to a healthy baby boy.
"A few years ago the Slayer was drowned by a Master Vampire. She was 
revived and she dusted the Master Vampire that did it. However, since she had 
died another Slayer was called. Now there are two Slayers. The original who 
died and another. From what I can tell, when the original Slayer died, 
Shelgui moved onto the next girl but when the original Slayer was revived 
Shelgui re-entered the original Slayer and left behind a daughter spirit. 
"On her 18th birthday the Council did it's stupid test. She passed but 
her Watcher was sacked for having a father's love for her. She then turned 
around and told the Council to go fuck itself. She still slays and her 
Watcher still guides and trains her.
"They are in Sunnydale. The original Slayer is Buffy Summers. Her Watcher 
is the young man I met in London. He gave this ring to your mother before she 
left." Albert held up a ring with a snake pattern on the outside. David 
gasped.
"You mean..."
"Yes David. That man, the Slayer's Watcher, Rupert Giles, is your father."
