Dario caught Spiri before her head stuck the ground.

"Oh my god" Buffy dropped to her knee's next to Dario as she cradled 
the girl.

Faith stepped away from them and sat on the floor and rested her 
forehead on the couch.

Kida vanished.

"I heard yelling" Willow rushed down the stairs with Rowen close on 
her heels.

They both stopped short when they saw Spiri prone on the floor.

"Bricu" Rowen screamed when she rushed to Spiri's side.

Kida reappeared with the tall red headed Bricu in tow.

"My goddess what happened" Bricu gathered her lover into her arms.

"She touched Faith and screamed" Kida explained "then she fainted. 
That's when I came to you"

"Why was she touching her?" Bricu had tears in her eyes.

"She was doing a soul decerning" everyone said at once.

Faith remained silent with her face buried in the couch cushions.

"Why didn't you do it" Bricu growled her voice uneven and 
breaking "You could have done it"

"I wouldn't let her" Dario said standing "The Goddess called her 
earlier. I didn't want her to risk it"

"She's been doing ceremony all week" Bricu sat on the couch next to 
the dark slayer. She shifted Spiri in her arms bringing her so that 
her ear was resting above Bricu's beating heart. She didn't realize 
that Spiri's limp hand came to rest against Faith cheek.

Both the Slayer and the Mystic jerked in reaction.

Spiri came to with a gasp and Faith backed away with fear on her 
face.

"Spiri?" Bricu touched her loves cheek to bring her attention to her 
face "Are you okay love?"

Spiri took a few moments to collect herself "I'm fine. But 
she's......" Spiri buried her face in Bricu's chest for a moment to 
wipe away tears that had fallen "She's in so much pain"

Everyone turned to look at Faith who remained cowered on the floor 
moving towards a corner.

"So much pain, but she isn't evil. The good in her and so strong, 
but she can't outrun the pain" Spiri moved to slid from Bricu's lap, 
But the woman wouldn't let her go.

"So she's on out side?" Willow stood just behind Faith. The Slayer 
backed up against her legs and stiffened.

Rowen stood next to Buffy watching Faith move away from the group "I 
think you scared her Spiri. Did you have visions?"

Bricu and Spiri both turned to stare at the little girl "What's the 
Oracle doing here?" Bricu demanded.

"Fufilling her destiny" Willow said. She didn't know where the 
answer came from but she was damn sure it was right.

Faith looked up at Willow "Damn Red you think you cold say that once 
more with feeling?"

"Shut up Faith" Willow didn't even look down at her.

"Well fuck you" Faith stood, her fear disapated by the anger she had 
towards Willow.

"You have bad manners" Rowen said coming up next to Faith "Don't 
talk to her like that" she place her hands on her hips and stared 
the dark slayer down.

"Wow. Put in my place by a 5 year old. Now I've seen everything" 
Faith looked down at the miniature of Willow "Should I apologize?"

"No" Rowen said shortly "You wouldn't mean it. Why waste your 
breath?"

"Did you name her?" Spiri asked. She felt strong enough to stand but 
she doubted that Bricu would let her.

Bricu like Dario was protective of her mate due to her youth. Spiri 
and Hakida were the only Mystics still living their original Mortal 
lives. The youngest of the Chosen Eight.

"Yeah" Buffy lifted the little girl away from Faith who was eying 
her with disbelief "Her name is Rowen"

"Pretty" Bricu said softly.

Kida moved to the kitchen, with Willow only steps behind her.

"Okay, waitwaiwaitwaitwait" Faith interrupted "This kid is an 
Oracle?"

"Yeah" Dario, Bricu and Spiri said together.

"I was told all the Oracle's had taken on Astrial forms" Faith 
crossed her arms "The text said they could only exist on this plain 
for a matter of moments. Usually long enough to confuse the shit out 
of the seeker who summoned it"

"That's pretty much what I heard to" Buffy nodded. She took another 
look at the child in her arms. She met with Willow's resolve face, 
only pint sized.

"She's the only to be born in the last oh, two centuries?" Dario 
said softly "She was lost to us because someone killed her mother 
before she could become pregnant with her. Some kind of time travel 
thing"

"Oh. But why does she exist?" Faith was in full slayer mode. Part of 
her retraining in prison had been concentration and strategy 
techniques, not to mention the many nuances of magicks.

"She wasn't on the plane at the time of the change. She'd been taken 
to the Goddess. She couldn't vanish from existence because she 
wasn't 'in' that existence" Dario explained "We were lucky. That 
plane ceased to exist because it became unbalanced. We needed her" 
she pointed to Rowen "to live and fufill her prophecy to keep all 
other planes from suffering the same fate"

"So your here to save the world" Buffy said kissing the little girl 
on the cheek "I can relate"

"And she's here so you'll protect her" Bircu smiled as she stood 
with her lover in her arms "I can relate"

Bricu vanished with Spiri in her arms. Spiri's residual 'hey' was 
echoed in the room as if it came from a far off place.

"Saving the world before bedtime" Faith joked "What is she a 
PowerPuff Oracle?'

Willow overheard in the kitchen. Her eyes narrowed

Faith screamed and began tearing at her clothes, when her underwear 
turned into spiders.
