BCE

Name: Shagarra Durrall (The First, the Primitive) Location: Africa Watcher: Birth: Approximately 7,000 BCE or 50,000 BCE Death: Slayer Time: Portrayed By: Sharon Ferguson Notes: The FIRST Slayer.  The vampires & demons were a plague upon the world. The elders of several villages met, calling for a solution. It was decided to invoked strong and dangerous magicks, to create a power that could fight the demons, in the body of a young girl. That girl was Shagarra, (who spoke Swahili) she fought the demon / vampire plague, she was selected because she had no family or friends, she was born with the instinct to hunt and kill evil.  Though she helped many villages, they would shunned her, thinking she was somehow part demon and this was why she could combat them, a trend that continued on with nearly all slayers through time. Soon after the "Slayers" creation the men who created the Slayer were dubbed "The Shadowmen" they became the Watcher's Council, who advised the slayers.       Upon the slayer's death the energy of the slayer moved on to a new slayer. Throughout time, there was always one. A woman and warrior to fight the evil plague on earth.      In 1999, Shagarra, the first slayer began to stalk Buffy and her friends in their dreams seeming to be trying to kill them, and was then confronted by Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and it was then that Shagarra told Buffy of her  her destiny. That she was a killer, "death was her gift", and that death was all that any slayer had to offer.

Name:  Ejuk
Location:   Uruk, Sumeria
Watcher:  Sarkassan who is a royal scribe
Birth:  2719 BCE
Death: 
Killed By:
Slayer Time:  
Notes: has Green Eyes.  In 2713 BCE Ejuk becomes an orphan, when her parents die; she is taken in and raised by her Watcher
2700 BCE - Sumeria: King Gilgamesh of Uruk rules, during a time of peace. Outside the city, the four people known as Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris and Rupert Giles arrive through a portal from the year 1998. They head through the north gate into Uruk, determined to stop vampire assassins out to disrupt the Slayer lineage. Once inside, the huge population and number of warriors makes the gang decide to find the local Watcher rather than Ejuk the vampire Slayer herself. Called upon the death of her predecessor, the Chosen One is almost six feet tall, and her skin nearly bronze in colour; she wears leather armour, and uses a bow plus a quiver full of arrows.  
The people from the future arrive at the residence of Sarkassan after sunset, but it is too late; the vamps have gotten to the Watcher (who was in his forties) first. Sumerian soldiers arrive, and place the gang under arrest. Marching them to the palace, Buffy decides to escape and does so. The other three are brought before Gilgamesh, as Buffy searches for her sister Slayer. Rupert pleads with the King, who knows about vampires; the undead are not considered a fantasy here and now. After the explanations, the ruler of the kingdom orders the trio to help his guards find Ejuk. The native Slayer arrives at the palace, fighting back tears and requests a burial detail for her Watcher. Gilgamesh introduces her to Willow, Xander and Giles.  
Buffy shows up at the palace, and tries to 'rescue' her friends; Giles stops her, saying that everything has been explained and they are all on the same side now. Buffy and Ejuk size each other up, then both Slayers accept each other. Xander takes a walk, and inadvertently causes a disaster; the assassin vampires show up and take advantage of the confusion, plunging a knife into the back of Ejuk. But the 19-year-old girl survives, and the supernatural threats are banished. One vamp is dusted, while the other escapes to the future. Gilgamesh and his people take care of Ejuk, while the four weary travelers return to the future as well. Eventually a new Slayer is called.

She has been the Slayer for years since the death of her predecessor, uses a short sword and bow, and is destined to live for many more years as of this point in time till a new Slayer is called.  
The Isle of Anglesey, Wales: The Scooby gang find the Druids, and Buffy and Giles go to find the local Watcher; a woman named Eyra in her thirties. She tells Giles that her Slayer has disobeyed orders and gone to the front lines of an upcoming war zone, against Roman invaders led by Suetonius Paulinus; Incinii has a brother there, after all. A guide takes them to the battleground, just as the invasion starts. Buffy and Giles spot Incinii; she has leather armour and is coated in woad.  
 Two vamps from the future try to murder the native Slayer. The two Chosen Ones fight side by side against the undead villains, as the war rages around them. The bad guys disappear through their portal to the future, and Buffy realizes they are going to try elsewhere in history to disrupt the Slayer lineage. Giles tells her to calm down, and he briefly speaks to Incinii; that Slayer then rushes back into the battle, and the Summers girl freaks at the carnage of war. Rupert tells her not to interfere, they go find Eyra at her house, she takes them back to Willow and Xander and once alone the four vanish into the future.
