The Forbidden Drink III: Titanic Problems

Ch. 23. They're Here

CRACK!

The sound of thunder roaring and lightning flashing was heard all over Gravesfield as a giant storm hit the town out of nowhere.

Camila was getting a bit concerned by this as it's not normal to have a storm like this at this time of year.

'Could it be a hurricane?' She thought, glancing out the kitchen window.

She didn't think that a hurricane would happen outside of hurricane season but she also didn't think that she would end up being a magic god either, so who knows?

Something wrong, Ms. Noceda?" Cat asked, walking up behind her.

"Just worrying about the weather. The news said nothing about a storm coming in." Camila said.

"I can understand that. Even in the demon realm, the weather is unpredictable, it's even worse than this." Cat said, gazing at the rain too.

"Luz told me about them. It makes me lucky I don't live there, no offense." Camila said to Cat.

"None taken." Cat said, glancing back to the living room. "Honestly, I'm more worried about Skara, it's clear this weather is affecting her."

Skara was in the living room, her hand or leg occasionally twitching, her body covered in sweat, and she was looking like someone that was just pulled from the trenches.

'Something's wrong... the weather... the elements... something bad is going to happen.' She thought, gritting her teeth.

Skara was taking deep breathes to calm down, or at least to try as she jolted from another thunder crack. Then she went stiff, paying close attention to how this thunder sounded compared to what she heard over the years.

'That... wasn't thunder.' She thought, running to the window and seeing a whole open up in the clouds outside.

"GUYS! SOMETHING IS HAPPENING!" Skara shouted for everyone in the house.

The group ran outside and saw the giant hole, and then the series of giant cloaked figures floating down.

"... The Archivists." Luz said with wide and fearful eyes. "Oh no."

"How did they find us?" King asked.

The first one, looking around at the planet before catching the Noceda Household in their sight.

"There." They said, pointing towards the house.

"FUCK!" Luz said as she closed the shades! "Come on, we have to stop them before they can draw attention to the town. And don't use Titan powers, or else they might do something even worse."

"If we dan use our titan powers, what are we going to do?" Willow asked. "Without them, we don't stand much if a chance."

"...We can lure them to the ocean." Luz said, rubbing her chin. "It's just a few miles away, and no one will get hurt if we start fighting."

The group nodded in agrement as they got their staffs ready. Even the non Titan witches, but Luz quickly stopped them

"Wait, you guys need to stay here with King and mom!" Luz said to Tracey, Skara, Cat, Masha, and Vee.

"Luz... you can fuck right off." Tracey said, pointing at Luz with her staff. "We're helping, whether you like it or not, even if it means certain death."

"You're stuck with us, sis. Titan powers or not, we can still pull our own." Vee said, getting on Masha's staff with them.

'Ugh, why am I surrounded by people that want to help me so much?!' Luz thought in frustration.
