Charlie let out a growl and a yellow glow came from his chest before the fire erupted from the Luna Dragon's maw.
The fire hit the gem...
Douxie gritted his teeth as the staff burst into flames, the rush of magic and flame nearly making him fly away, eyes filling with tears.
The gem finally gave way and burst, shards flying across the room as Charlie's flame died out...
Douxie disappeared in a flash of green magic.
"Let us hope he will retrieve the seals," Merlin whispered, "Or I've doomed us all."
"It was real magic. And I could use a new apprentice. Carry on, and don't..."
"But master-"
"...' But, Master' me. Hisirdoux, change... Magic is master... Hisirdoux... (voices overlap) Hisirdoux, what have you done? A wizard does not make mistakes. He makes unexpected possibilities."
At Gemma's Old House...
THUD!
Gemma held Rowy, her ears perked as she glanced at Bular, "What was that?"
"I don't know...Want me to check?"
"Nah, I'll get it," Gemma slowly passed Rowy to her father, Rowy snored in her dad's arm.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
"I'm coming, damn it!"
Gemma opened the door.
In the doorway was Dabria, she collapsed onto Gemma, making Gem scream out in horror, "Dabria!?"
Bular placed his daughter down, getting quickly defensive of his mate.
Rowy's eyes snapped open, her ears perking at Dabria.
The moonlight filled the house with light, throwing Dabria off her, Gem's pupils turned to slits, she looked down at Dabria, she had a long cut across her chest, it oozed blood.
Her left eye was covered with a four-clawed slice, dripping purple blood all over her body.
She turned a bit, coughing out purple blood onto the floor, before whipping it with her arm.
"What are you here for, Dabria?!"
She got onto her knees, looking up at Gemma with pain in her eyes, "Please. . .Help me," Before everything went black for the trolless.
. . .
Dabria slowly opened her eyes, she was lying on a couch. . . She had her chest wound wrapped up and her eye was covered with a cotton pad that was tied down with medical tape.
Barbara sighed out, "Good you called for me, her wounds would have killed her if I had not stopped the bleeding."
"Yeah. . ." Gem huffed, folding her arms, "I just... Why is she here?! Why did she want my help?"
Dabria sat up, already knowing her paws were tied with rope so she could not attack anyone, "Becau-Because your the only one who would,"
The door opened to reveal Angor Rot with Numora behind him, "Gems, hello!" Squeaked out Numora.
"Nums! Nice to see you again!" Gem laughed before Angor snarled out, "Where is she?"
Gem sighed, pointing to the couch, Angor let out a growl as he stomped towards Dabria, Numora sighed, looking at Gem.
Gem starred at her huge bulge in her stomach, before looking up at Numora with a grin, "Haven't seen you for a month, nice to see you carrying,"
"You know, when my kiddo is born I hope Rowy and her are besties."
"Her?"
"Yep, we just got one of the trollish tests, it's a girl! Meenah Rot,"
Angor glared down at Dabria, "I heard you came here for Gemma's help, why?"
"Might sound crazy, but when I tried to kill you guys it wasn't me." Dabria leaned against the couch-back, tugging a bit at the rope holding her hands together.
"And I'm supposed to believe that? In a month you'd probably betray us and say: "Of course I was manipulating you"."
"No! Not eve-even close!" Dabria sighed, "It's really hard to explain when I was young... Thinking my parents were either dead or in the Darklands, I was on the run for a long, long time. I met the Arcane Order and they said they'd take care of me... When I grew older, I knew they were wrong, I helped Nari escape-and they took my body over for years."
"And you just escaped there hold?"
"They worry about Nari and the Genisis Seals more than anything, they want to release the mad titans, the ones who could destroy the world or renew it... I'd rather they don't renew the world, I like this one... But the only reason I escaped was because of Claire,"
"Wait, what?" Angor cocked his head to the side, "How did she help you?"
~Flashback~
A young whelp Dabria cried on a platform, she glowed purple much as Claire had long ago.
Before standing up and changing to her adult form, "I am nothing without my soul.. And I have none."
"Is.. Is that Dabria?" Claire asked in shock.
"Yes, you didn't know Dabria was under the control of the Arcane Order?"
"No.. I didn't, we have to help her-"
. . .
Dabria's eyes widened in shock, her pupils turned to circles, staring at her hands, before looking at Belrocc, "I-I'm free?"
Belrocc looked at her, the eyes on their shoulders widened making Dabria yelp, uh oh, Belrocc just realized it too.
~End Of Flashback~
"Wow..." Numora huffed.
Gem texted Asra on her phone.
Asra
You: ASRA
Asra: WHAT
You: Dabria is in MY FUCKING HOUSE AND SHES EXPLAINING SHE WAS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE ARCANE ORDER-
Asra: Wha-Ok, am on may way-
Asra: Stupid autocorrect, I am on my way with Draal*
Gem closed her phone, "Asra is on the way, she will find out if you are telling the truth or not, Dabria."
Dabria sighed, "I think I'd rather die than lie."
