Summary: She was the greatest of them. Perhaps even more so than the First Slayer, Sineya. The Watcher's Council's proudest champion, their crowning achievement. But it took from her everything: her innocence, her family, her identity. Her Calling became her slavery and her destiny, her shackles. And so for five long years, battle after battle, victory after victory, her legend and her hate grew until, finally, it was impossible for her to restrain.
And that was when he came to her. And so the Council's greatest warrior became their most terrifying foe, hunting her own kind.
Elizabeth 'Buffy' Summers, the Slayer of Slayers.
