Description

The battle was unlike any of them had seen or imagined in their lifetimes, a splinter group known as Hydra led by the Red Skull was tearing across Europe and the Allied forces had been pushed back to a small western corner of France. Their only hope lay in the hero they knew as Captain America. The fighting was intense and as their numbers dwindled the unthinkable happened. The Red Skull unleashed a new secret weapon at Captain America, a weapon that not only ripped the life from him but ripped a hole in the very fabric of time and space. When they found the Captain, they were surprised to find a young woman wearing what looked like clothing from another time kneeling next to him looking very confused.

Aura looked at the men dressed in strange clothing carrying wood and metal weapons and pots on their heads in confusion, one minute she had been making an elixir for an elder in a neighboring town and thee next she was on some strange stretch of land with the sounds of thunder and the cries of the wounded. She found one that was dressed differently than the others, barely alive but still trying to fight. She knelt down to comfort him, something that seemed to calm him. She could sense great power in this man, but it wasn't enough to save him from death, and she could see that he knew this as well. As the man weakened, his last act was to pick up the shield he carried and placed it in the hands of the woman beside them as the gathered men around them looked on. "They need you... to be their hope... and future..."Aura looked up at the men as they realized that Captain America was gone, Aura could see that the men needed this man and his symbol to continue their struggle, so with a transformation spell she changed her clothing to mimic the designs and look of this mans and picked up his shield and called her staff to her. "Your Captain is gone, but I will finish his fight along side you."

The Red skull thinking he was already victorious watched in shock as he watched his most hated enemies costume, worn by a woman and she was flying... FLYING across the battle field engaging him men in a strategy that made no sense and followed buy a rag tag mob screaming at the top of their voices. The Skull watched as his men were driven back and first and then watched as they ran in defeat. Unwilling to take on this new threat without knowing who it was the Red Skull retreated to his lair to plan a new strategy.

The battle over, Aura stood amongst the men as they cheered. They were no longer the defeated and battle weary men she first met, they had something they hadn't had in a long time. HOPE. Hope that she had given them. They would need this hope to triumph over evil. The war lasted another 7 long years before it was over, in that time Aura Lockhaven the new Captain America became a symbol not only for the United States, but the rest of the world. After the war Aura tried all of the spells she knew to return home without success, and in time came to call this planet home and continued to fight evil and injustice all over the planet, for she was Captain America.
