POST-CREDIT 1: ONCE WAS LOST IS FOUND

WEEKS LATER

BARNES APARTMENT, NEW YORK

THE BARNES APARTMENT WAS SCATTERED WITH STACKED BOXES.

The decorations were stripped from its walls, leaving it all blank. All that was left to move was the furniture that the movers would put in their truck. Silence filled the house, not a voice to be heard.

It was the last night Maggie Barnes along with her husband and children would be in that apartment. The next morning they would move into their new home. After decades and decades, Maggie and her Bucky were homeowners and continuing to raise a family. They were happy. They were at peace.

Bucky took Emma and Charlie out to the movies and got ice cream after. Maggie remained at the apartment, allowing Bucky to have some bonding time with their children. The only possession that wasn't boxed up was a photo of the Barnes family on the coffee table. Gold mist covered it entirely, as if it was trying to protect it.

The gold mist was connected to a thread leading into Maggie and Bucky's bedroom. In that same room, Maggie's physical form was sound asleep on her bed. Yet, her astral form levitated off the ground, legs crossed with the Book of Seiros opened in front of her.

The Book of Seiros was an ancient text known as the "Book of Infinite Knowledge" meant to be owned by the Fell Star. It was the first set of spells, incantations, and potions created by the divine Seiros herself. It was the Darkhold's opposite. While the Darkhold corrupted its wielder, the Book of Seiros led its wielder to a path of enlightenment.

The book had been guarded for ages, passed down coven to coven until it was put in the care of the current Supreme Cordelia Goode. Once Maggie became the Fell Star, she was gifted the Book of Seiros. And from being in contact with the Book of Seiros, it turned Maggie's fingertips white whenever she was in her Fell Star form.

In Maggie's astral form, she read the Book of Seiros page to page. When her family went to bed, she usually studied hours on end until the sun rose. The more she read, the more knowledge and power she acquired. Not only that, but the thread that connected her and her sister witch grew. And that witch was Wanda.

Wanda had been forged into the Scarlet Witch awhile prior. But since Maggie became the Fell Star, she could sense her equal's presence though far away. While Maggie went down the path of order...Wanda continued to journey down the path of chaos. As it was foretold.

Maggie looked up in confusion. She felt a shift in the universe. It was a familiar feeling. The same feeling she received once she became the Fell Star. It made her eyes widen in realization. Once the shift settled something had touched the chord of her soul. Another connection just the same as her and Wanda's. Tears of happiness strolled down Maggie's cheeks as a soft smile reached her lips. The final hole in her being was filled by the first one who was taken from her. The only one that hadn't been given closure.

The daughter she once thought was lost...was finally found.

THE FELL STAR WILL RETURN
