King opened a book titled The Unauthorized Boiling Isles History. "The Boiling Isles, born from the flesh and bone of a fallen titan. This original magic was so potent, all life on the Isles evolved to wield magic too. For years we explored these powers freely," King turned the page. "Until a mysterious witch appeared who said that he, and he alone, could speak to the island. He said that we were using magic all wrong. His teachings took hold, his strength grew and he became Emperor Belos." He turned the page again. "Belos said that mixing magic was wrong, that only he had that right, so he created the coven system and there our knowledge was restricted and our potential sealed away. Those who resist are called wild witches and they face harsh punishment." He turned the page again, showing the stone body of a presumed wild witch. "Emperor Belos has since retreated into his castle. There are whispers that say he is planning something big. I wonder if catching Carmen was part of his big plan. What do you think, Char? Char?"

Char sat in windowsill, cape in her lap, onlooking the waters. She lifted the note into her hand.

To a young witch
from her proud
mentor

-Carmen

She then looked down at the cape. It was blue, with a purple inside. "I don't care what Belos is up to. Because today I'm saving Carmen." Her cape blew in the Hero Wind™.

Char opened the door to the weapons room and ran in.

"Char, what are you doing?" King asked, a little panicked. "This is serious, King. Carmen used her powers to save me and got caught by Sasha. Now she's the Owl Beast and is being taken before the Emperor. I don't know what he's planning to do with Carmen, but I'm going to rescue them." She grabbed a squiggly dagger.

"Haven't you been listening to me? He's the Emperor." King held up the book again. "He's the most powerful witch alive."

"King, please try to understand." Void bent down and placed her hand on King's shoulder. "Carmen is in this situation because of me, because of my stupid choice. I have to make up for it."

"But they're in their Owl Beast form. How will she even recognize you?"

"I don't know. But I have to try anyway." Char admitted. "Well, then I'm going to." King decreed.

"King..."

"Me and Carmen don't always see eye to eye, but I do consider her family." King admitted. "I want her back as much as you do." Char smiled. "Alright, then we've got no time to lose." She ran off, as did King, tossing the book onto the floor.

In Belos' throne room, we have the Owl Beast running amok and Sasha chasing after it. "Carmen! Stop this instant!" Instead of listening, Beast Carmen ate a banner. So, Sasha put them in a giant bubble. "Don't look at me like that. This is for your own good." She smiled the slightest bit. "Emperor Belos will heal you and we can be in his coven together. Isn't that wonderful?"

Owl Beast stuck their tongue out at Sasha.

"I will not fall prey to your childish games!" Sasha then proceeded to fall prey to their childish games, by also sticking her tongue out at them.
