Human Realm

Chapter 7: Belos' Plan

"So, Hunter," said Luz, "What is Belos' master plan?" "Basically," said Hunter, "He wants to harness all wild magic so he can then direct it towards bringing the Titan back enough strength to merge the Boiling Isles and this realm." Camila gasped in horror. "And not just this realm," continued Hunter, "ALL of the realms. Every single one, unified under his rule. That's why it's called the day of unity." "So that's what he's trying to do!" exclaimed Luz. "And he's harnessing wild magic through the coven system!" realized Amity, "Ugh... and I wanted to be the leader of his coven!" "Honestly, Blight," said Hunter, "You never had a chance, it was always gonna be me, no matter what. I mean, who would he pick? Some prissy mint haired rich girl? Or his nephew?" "You're his nephew!?" exclaimed Gus. "I have so many questions right now!" "All will be answered in due time," said Hunter. "Looks like you'll need to blend in with us if you're gonna be staying with us," said Luz. "What?" asked Hunter. "You actually think we're gonna let you leave?" asked Willow. Amity let out a little laugh. "Fine," he said, tapping his staff in the floor. A red light surrounded him and some human clothes appeared on him. He now had a white hoodie with gold trim, black jeans, a gold beanie covering his ears, and some black converse sneakers. "Could we have just done that the entire time!?" exclaimed Amity. "We could have avoided everything that happened at the mall!" exclaimed Gus. "What happened at the mall?" asked Hunter, "Better yet, what's a mall?" "Long story," said Luz. "What a mall is or what happened at it?" asked Hunter. "What happened at it," said Willow, "But a mall is apparently the human equivalent to the market." Amity then walked out of the room, memories of what happened flooding into her mind. Hunter decided to follow. Amity sat on the window sill and looked out. Hunter looked at her. She had a solemn look on her face. "I normally don't care," he said, "But are you okay, Blight?" "I'm fine," replied Amity, wiping her nose on her arm, "Just... some bad memories." "Your parents?" asked Hunter, "I heard how they treat you and your siblings-" "No," interrupted Amity, "It's not them. It's just what happened at the mall... I don't wanna talk about it." "That's alright," he said, sitting on the floor beside the window, "I get it. There's a lot of things that I don't like talking about. And I talk a whole lot." "Yeah," said Luz, who had walked into the room, "You really do. You seem to never stop." "O-oh.." stuttered Amity, "H-Hey.. Luz." Hunter put a smug look on his face. "I'm just gonna go," he said, "Let you two talk whatever this is out." When he got to the door frame, he tilted his body back a bit while hanging on to the frame. "Byeeeee!" he exclaimed as he then pulled himself out of the room. "So," said Luz, "What are you thinking about?" "Nothing..." replied Amity, "I'm just admiring how beautiful your sky is." "Amity," said Luz, "I've known you long enough now that I know when something's wrong. Now tell me." Luz grabbed one of Amity's hands in both of hers. "Please?" asked Luz. Amity blushed a little. "I was thinking about what happened earlier..." admitted Amity, "About what might've happened if you, Gus, and Willow hadn't saved me..." Luz realized what the green haired witch was trying to say. "Oh Ami..." said Luz warmly, "You know that I wouldn't ever let anything like that happen to you." "I know," said Amity with a blush, "But I just can't help but think that it could've happened! She was kissing me for Titan's sake! She was touching me all over!" Luz was at a loss for words. "Amity..." she finally said after what felt like an eternity, "I promise that I will never leave your side when we go places. Never." "Never?" asked the Blight. "Never," replied the human. Luz then hugged Amity. The witch blushed and returned the gesture. "Now let's go," said Luz, "The others are waiting."
