Chapter 15

The
Scoobies blankly stared at the crying slayer as the man called Hoston lead her
over to sit at the table.

Dante
cleared his throat �Perhaps I should introduce our newcomers.� He waited for
the group to turn their attention to him. �This is Rupert Hoston and his wife
Sarah.�

Tara gasped
�As in Rebecca�s watcher?�

Hoston
nodded �Yes I was Rebecca�s watcher until she died�

Rebecca�s
sobs had subsided; she searched his face �How?�

�Are you
a demon?� questioned Willow

�No I am
very human� Hoston looked towards Spike for confirmation.

�Smells
human� Spike confirmed �Plus he does have a heartbeat.�

Rebecca
searched Hoston�s face �You�ve been here thisthis time?�

Hoston
nodded as the others waited for an explanation.

Dante
spoke up �Midian�s timeline works differently to most other dimensions. For every full day that passes here only one
hour passes in your timeline.�

Buffy remembered
when she had sent Angel to hell �I�ve heard of that before.� She frowned
slightly �But why isn�t he long dead? It�s been over a hundred years since he
was last seen so if he�s still human he should be dust.�

�Yes well
in most cases you would be correct, however in Midian the aging process in
humans is the reverse to the passage of time.
For a resident to look as though they have aged one full year
approximately 24 of your years and 570 Midian years would have to pass.�

�Well
that would suck� exclaimed Dawn

The
others looked at her puzzled

�Well you
would stay a baby for what? Hundreds of years.�

Buffy�s
face took on a look of horror �Oh my God you would be a teenager for ever.�

Dante
laughed �Luckily for some reason the change in the aging process doesn�t start
until adulthood.

Buffy
looked towards Anya �Why didn�t you tell us about this place before?�

Anya
looked uncomfortable �It was not allowed� she looked towards Dante as if
seeking permission �For over a century the Slayer has been an enemy, not an
ally. If I were to have exposed Midian,
at the very least I would not have been permitted to return.�

Hoston
took over the conversation �Before the attacks the Slayer would visit the
community nearest her to train.� He removed his small wire frame glasses and began
to clean them �With the difference in the timelines it was an ideal
situation. The Slayer could train for
days without leaving the human world unprotected for more than a few hours.�

The
Scoobies stared at Hoston in fascination as he studiously continued to clean
his glasses. Giles shifted uncomfortable
as they turned to look at him, wide grins on all their faces. �I can see how that would be an efficient way
to train.� He felt his own hands inching towards his face before he remembered
that he was currently sans spectacles.
He looked towards Dante and the others �If we are to go up against the
council it would be highly beneficial for us to resume the alliance.�

The tall
woman called Jayala spoke for the first time �How can we be sure that you mean
us no harm?� her voice had a soft lyrical quality to it �There are many demon
families here that would become vulnerable should our presence be revealed.�

Rebecca
took this opportunity to speak �I do not believe that Buffy and her friends
would do anything that could bring harm to Midian and its people.� She glanced
at Spike �They have formed alliances with demons before and from what I�ve been
told, they have stood by them.�

Buffy
looked towards Anya �Why didn�t you tell us about this place before?�

Anya
looked uncomfortable �It was not allowed� she looked towards Dante as if
seeking permission �For over a century the Slayer has been an enemy, not an
ally. If I were to have exposed Midian,
at the very least I would not have been permitted to return.�

Hoston
took over the conversation �Before the attacks the Slayer would visit the

to clean them �With the difference in the timelines it was an ideal

at Spike �They have formed alliances with demons before and from what I�ve been

Dante
stood and motioned for the others from Midian to join him �If you�ll excuse us
for a moment� they quickly moved out of the room.

The
Scoobies looked to Anya who merely smiled �It�s going very well.�

Xander
looked confused �But we haven�t really talked about anything?�

Anya
merely smiled �Mathew is a Shartala, they are empathic demons. He has spent the entire time reading your
intentions. If he believes that none of
you are a threat then it is highly likely that a mutually beneficial alliance
will be formed.�

A small
gnome like creature entered and offered them refreshments while they were
waiting. Each of them took a tankard
sniffing the contents lightly before drinking.

*********************************************************************

The
others soon returned to their places at the table. Dante waited for everyone to settle before he
spoke �Midian welcomes you.� He inclined his head slightly to each of the
Scoobies in turn �We believe that we can assist you in your quest Miss
Summers.�

Buffy and
Giles both expelled a low breathe, the tension easing from their bodies.

�So how
is this going to work, do we need to sign something or...� Buffy let the
sentence hang, hoping that they wouldn�t have to sign in blood.

�Your
word is sufficient Miss Summers.�

�So how is this going to work� Tara spoke up
for the first time.

Dante
thought for a moment �I think that I will assign an elder to assist each of you
for the next few days.� He turned to Bo �Isabo could you assist Miss Summers,
Rebecca and�do you prefer William or Spike?�

Spike
shifted uncomfortably �Doesn�t matter.�

�William then!
Could you train them in some of the older weapons that they may not be
familiar with. Especially the ones that
would be most useful against Dretgo�s.�

Bo was
nodding her acceptance when Willow broke in
�Isn�t that a bit dangerous, I mean Buff and Rebecca are both slayers and
Spikes�.�

�Annoying�
muttered Xander as he picked up his drink.

Willow glared
at him while Spike merely smirked �Spike�s a vampire, won�t she get hurt?�

Anya sat
back arms crossed a huge smile on her face, Xander fixed firmly in her sights �This
is going to be good�.
