"What is it you were saying about her going too far" Esmeralda.

Just then the woman that Alicia impersonated came into the cave and met them

"What are you doing here?" She asked sternly

Khali and Esmeralda looked at each then looked at the woman. Esmeralda touched the womans forehead and watched her fall to the ground. She crossed over the womans body and walked towards the exit. When she noticed Khali wasn't following her, she turned to her

"You coming?" She asked

"What about her?" Khali asked pointing at the woman

"If you are worried stop, she is just sleeping, she will wake up. Now let's go" Esmeralda replied sternly.

They ran outside took there horses including lances. It already dark so they decided to camp outside. They made a fire and sat beside it

"You know he is probably dead" Esmeralda said

"Yeah i know" khali replied

"So what is going to happen"

"We will continue what we started"

"I will also teach you how to use your powers"

"What are you talking about? I am not a witch"

"Lance told me you pushed a man without touching him"

"Oh... he told me but i did not really put my mind into it"

"Are you nuts?! How do suppose you kill Alicia without magic?" 

"By stabbing her with the cresent dagger"

"How will you get?"

"I will find it"

"News flash, she is the only  with it"

"How did she get?"

"Apparently she created it"

"She created something that could kill her. How exactly did she create it?"

"Okay this is the story. After she killed her mother and sister she wanted to bring the dragon back to life and also to make it be loyal to her. But in order for her to have accsses to that kind of power she needed twelve infant hearts that is from 0-10"

"So she killed twelve little children?"

"Yes. They did not have magic but their pains entered the dagger and also the pain and grief of every other person she has killed with that dagger"

"What if she stabs you with the dagger and you survive?"

"You will not be able to bear the pain for a day. You will eventually die. There is no escape"

"Alicia where are you?" Khali mutered.

The fire between them rose and Alicia appeared

"Why have you summoned me?" She asked

"We did not summon you" Esmeralda replied

"Where is my brother?" Khali asked furious

"In my castle" Alicia replied smiling

"I want him back" Khali said

"Is that a command or a request?" Alicia asked

Khali looked at Esmeralda then looked at Alicia

"A request" she said

"Okay" Alicia said. Khali and Esmeralda looked at each other then back at Alicia

"Are you sure you are okay?" Esmeralda asked Alicia with concern

"Lance" Alicia said. Lance appeared in front of her
"You are free" she continued.
Lances eyes glowed blue for a moment before turning back to its usual brown. He turned and huged his sister and Esmeralda. He turned to Alicia

"Thank you but are you okay?"

"You owe me and one day i will call you up on that offer" she said and disappeared into the flames.

"Did we just make a deal with the devil?" Esmeralda asked
