Disclaimer: Yeah they belong to Joss, not me (Sad face) I'm only 
borrowing them for a while to have a little fun. Dungeon Keeper II 
besides being a most excellent game is the property of Bullfrog.
Spoilers: Alternate Reality, but everything still is fair game 
Archive: The usual suspects, all others just ask me, I'll say yes, 
really I will.
Pairing: You'll just have to wait and see
Notes: So what happens when I go into a chat room, lets see...here's 
the deal this is not beta read, I'm really not sure if anyone will be 
interested in it so please send feedback?yay or nay and if your 
interested enough I'll continue. Also all Beta offers are 
appreciated.
Concept: Kinda a BtVS/Dungeon Keeper II crossover (yeah I know I'm 
weird) :-)



Sunnydale:

Buffy watched from a distance as Willow and Tara made there way 
across the campus holding hands, she was glad that the two of them 
where happy together but at the same time deep in side she was sadden 
that she was not part of what they had.

"What ya doin'," Said Riley as he walked up behind Buffy and wrapped 
his arms around her.

"Nothing really," sighed the slayer, "Want to go for a shake or 
something."

"Sounds fun, let's go."

Buffy took a quick glance at Willow and Tara before heading off with 
her current boyfriend, <If only I could be with them instead>

The Oracles:

The eleven mage Kari stood before the oracles, "You must allow me 
admittance to the earth."

"Such things are forbidden," the female replied.

"Only when the dark ones return will the Elves be allowed to return 
to the earth for it is now the home of man," spoke the other oracle.

"And that is why you must allow me to return, the adversary is once 
again on the march, and the Triad is not yet in place. If the 
adversary reaches the surface without the Triad there and no oe who 
knows of him all will be lost."

"We have seen no signs of your adversary, they are not a threat."

"There is no reason for you to go to the earth."

"As for the Triad, it must be allowed to come together in its own 
time."

Kari Stamped her foot and screamed at the oracles, "I don't believe 
this, has it been so long since the Keepers tried to take over the 
earth that even the oracles have forgotten how to detect there 
activity."

"We have not forgotten."

"We have not detected any thing, should return now to the great 
forest and wait as you always have."

Kari found herself standing in the sacred grove outside the village 
of Alamini.  

"So how did it go," Asked a very old looking Elf dressed in combat 
armor.

"Not good Valllen, the oracles did not believe me, We are to stay 
here."

Vallen lowered his head and shook it in disgust, "Then there is 
nothing we can do but pray that the oracles come to there senses 
before our advisory returns."

"And what of the Triad," inquired the younger elf.

"There is nothing we can do to aid them in coming together if we can 
not go to the earth, for now they are on there own."

Sunnydale:

Willow and Tara sat next to one another at the cafe sipping on 
mochas. Both of them where happier than they had ever been before 
but something was missing. Even though they had one another there 
was still a part of them that felt empty and alone, no matter what 
magic spells the tried to cast to find what it was they where missing 
it managed to elude them. The only clues they had came in the dream 
the two of them had been sharing for the last several nights. They 
would find themselves standing inside a triangle with a third figure 
whom they could not make out. Every time they would reach out to the 
third the form would vanish and they would awaken.

So for now they stayed content with things as they where and tried to 
decipher the dream in their spare time, If only they could discover 
who this mysterious figure was. 

The Forgotten Domain:

Lord Zaven walked through the dimly lit passageways of his keep. He 
passed the torture chamber where his mistresses integrated some 
Dwarves that the recent tunneling had revealed and headed towards the 
dungeon heart.

When he reached the Dungeon heart Zaven immediately headed to his 
throne and took a seat before addressing the imp that was waiting 
there for him.

"What is it that you want Tala," demanded the dark lord.

"Keeper Zaven I am glad to report that we have located another of the 
gateway stones."

Zaven slowly arose from his throne and walked over to the Imp, "Good 
now only one stone stands between me and the surface, we must double 
our efforts, I must reach the surface before my adversaries are aware 
of what I am doing."

"And what of the Triad my Keeper," inquired a dark wizard who had 
just entered the dungeon heart.
"That is already being dealt with, if my agent does his job properly 
the Triad will not be in place when the remaining stone is found."

Sunnydale:

Riley secured the door to his room and quickly made his way to the 
lock chest he kept hidden in the back of the closet. He pulled out a 
crystal ball and carefully placed it on the table top, before pulling 
the blinds on his window.

Riley then knelt down before the ball and began to chant, "Sepher 
Zorrom Icapbus Torra"

The crystal ball began to glow and Riley lowered his head in 
reverence to it, as a voice bellowed from the ball, "Why have you 
called upon me?"

"My keeper the spell you gave me is beginning to weaken, I caught her 
looking at the others again.'

"Then you must seek a dark wizard on the surface to strengthen it," 
Commanded Zaven.

"And if I can not find such a being my keeper."

"Then you are to prepare a trap for the two Wicca, the Triad must not 
be completed."

"Yes my keeper."

?????.

Well what did ya think... Should I continue or have I finally snapped?
