About two months have passed since Obe saved Charlie and Vaggie from General Grievous. The three have had a few normal hangouts so Charlie and Obe could catch up. Charlie and Vaggie are on their way to Obe's castle.

Vaggie: So what do you think he wants to talk to us about?

Charlie: I honestly don't know, but it sounded serious.

The Limo transporting them lets them out at the front entrance to Obe's castle, where they are escorted to Obe's throne room. They see Obe sitting on his throne with Carmilla and Velvette near him.

Obe: *stands* Charlie, Vaggie, welcome to my home.

Charlie: I will admit, much bigger than I thought it to be.

Obe: *looks at Carmilla and Velvette* Girls, would you both show Vaggie around? There are things I must talk with Charlie about... Privately.

The girls nod and begin walking Vaggie around as Obe approaches Charlie. Obe and Charlie walk to a balcony.

Charlie: I can only imagine what you wanted to talk to me about.

Obe: *removes helmet* It's about you not using your power.

Charlie: Obe, I-

Obe: You absolutely NEED to use your power, but you also need to train with it to get stronger.

Charlie: And why would I need to get stronger? I'm not trying to subjugate people.

Obe: And you need to understand, they all take advantage of your kindness. I'm not telling you to force your people to obey you, you need to make them see that you're not fucking around anymore. That you're not going to let them walk all over you just because you're nice.

Charlie: I... *looks down* I don't know Obe, it just seems heartless to do that.

Obe: Charlie, ask yourself this, what's more heartless, making yourself stronger to protect everything and everyone you care about, or not going for that power at all?

Obe puts his helmet back on and walks away as Charlie thinks about what Obe said. Obe makes his way to Vaggie, Velvette and Carmilla.

Obe: Enjoying the tour Vaggie?

Vaggie: Y- yeah, this place is just so...

Obe: Humongous?

Vaggie: Yeah. Where's Charlie?

Obe: At one of the balconies, I gave her a bit to think about.

Vaggie walks off to find Charlie as Carmilla approaches Obe.

Carmilla: Do you think Charlie will heed your words?

Obe: That's what I'm hoping.

Velvette: How powerful do you think Charlie can get?

Obe: I believe she can get more powerful than Lucifer.

Carmilla: That would only make sense.

Obe: She just needs the proper guidance.

Velvette: And you think you can do it?

Obe: Honestly, not completely, but I can help set her on the right path to hone her power.

After a few minutes, Charlie and Vaggie come into the room.

Obe: Have you thought about what I said?

Charlie: Yes... I have.

Obe: What's your choice then?

Charlie: I... I want to get more powerful. I want to protect my friends.

Obe: Then we have little time to waste. In about four months, I will be busy.

Charlie and Vaggie look at Obe in confusion.

Vaggie: What will you be busy with?

Obe: All I can tell you is that I plan to bring more peace to the Pride ring. *begins walking* Now come, we have a lot to do.

Charlie and Vaggie follow Obe.

Charlie: Obe, I do have one question... Do you-

Obe: I do believe in your plan, and I plan to start supporting you as soon as I can. Once I have less work on my plate to handle, I'll give you as much support as I can.

Charlie: T- thanks Obe, it means so much that you support it.

Obe: Only thing you must understand though, there are some people that are beyond redemption. I aim to help you learn that as we train.

Charlie and Vaggie follow Obe as he opens a portal to a training arena. The portal closes after they walk through.

Velvette: You think he'll get the message through to her?

Carmilla: If he doesn't, then they'll be no convincing her otherwise.

The screen fades to black as they walk out of the room.

A/N: That's chapter 22 everyone. I hope you enjoyed. I plan to hopefully make the next chapter somewhere this week so stay tuned. Cya in the next chapter.

P.S. For those of you wondering why it took me so long to post this chapter, I was hanging out with friends and playing lots of Baldur's Gate 3 with them.
