The Coven head's were having a meeting, The Emperor was secretly watching through a magic mirror. The Emperor sighed, listening to the head witches fumble and argue. "Why don't we just capture this little rebellion before Emperor Luz finds out?" Willow Park stated. "Willow, as head of the Illusionist Track, I think we should just hide scouts in an illusion and send them to the hideout." "Augustus, an illusion won't be enough, we should send Willow and Boscha to find them." Skara stated, she was head of the Bard Coven. The Beast Keeping Coven Head stood, "What abou-" "Viney, please. A griffin won't work!" Augustus argued. 

The Abomination Head was zoned out, not minding the constant bickering. She was watching little pieces on a map move, people hitting the planning table. The Potions Head stood, "We should just march to the hideout and attack from all sides!" "Boscha, just because you were like that as a kid doesn't mean it's a solid plan." Augustus argued again. Amity stood, "We send scouts, if they don't fall then we send a Coven head with scouts to attack." Everyone nodded and mumbled in agreement with Amity. "Okay then, meeting adjourned!" Everyone walked out of the room, Amity walking the halls. She was lost deep in thought. Though there was a little rebellion, it wasn't a thorn in The Emperor's side so Amity wasn't worried. 

"Ms. Blight." Amity's head shot up, she stopped in her tracks. She turned to face the one who spoke her name. "Emperor." The Emperor looked her up and down, "Come with me." They walked to the Emperor's throne room. "Leave us." She waved her hand in the air. In an instant, the guards all piled out. Once they were alone, The Emperor sat on her throne, her head resting on her palm. "I was watching the meeting." Amity tensed slightly, "Very impressive work.~" Amity swallowed, her throat dry. "Thank you, Luz." Silence followed. Amity's eyes widened and she dropped to one knee. "I'M SO SORRY! I beg your mercy, Emperor." The Emperor stood. "Ms. Blight. You are one of the strongest Coven heads." 

The Emperor walked to Amity, grabbing her chin softly and lifting her head. Orange eyes peered into Amity's. "Don't let it happen again." Amity swallowed nervously, her ears drooping. "Yes, my Emperor..." The Emperor walked back to her throne and sat again. "Ms. Blight." Amity stood and looked up at The Emperor. "Yes?" The Emperor sighed, "You are to send scouts for the capture of the rebellion. If that fails, you will go yourself. And please, I'd like for you to not slip up anymore." Amity nodded, "You have my word. Emperor." The Emperor waved Amity off and the guards entered the room again. Amity left the throne room with chills down her spine. "Oh my Titan...." As she made her way through the castle she couldn't shake the feeling of someone watching her.
