There’s a nice refreshing breeze in the air, the sun shines through the tree leaves.  There was Livia, sitting cross legged with her staff behind her. She took deep breaths, slowly in and slowly out.  There was the sound of a small branch breaking in the distance, she opened her eyes then stood up from where she sat.  The sound spoke again, she then spun her staff around her neck and shot a green beam towards a horde of trees, once the beam had burned out, it revealed nothing.  Out of nowhere, Jeremy then fazed into sight, threw his knife at her, she dogged out of the way and shot another beam at him, he blocked it with a shield, spun his staff around and teleported himself further out of the area, she followed. 

    The two found themselves in the field of their small cottage, Jeremy knelt down, held his staff high and once Livia appeared in the field she threw her staff down and it clashed with his.  He then tripped her, slid under her as she flipped in the air, she turned her staff into two swords, he placed his staff away, opened his hand and Merlin’s sword appeared in it. He rushed towards her and their blades clashed against each other.  

He managed to strike one of her swords out of her hand and did a spin kick to her chest, she stabilized herself, her sword dissolved into dust and she then placed her hands together, then moved them around like a snake on the ground, her eyes began to glow dark purple, she then pushed her hands towards Jeremy and a massive wave of dark purple shot right towards him, the wave turned into lions, tigers, and bears.  

He grabbed his staff and with his sword in the other hand, he prodded one up and stabbed it in the stomach, he turned around and saw that two tigers were rushing towards him, he slammed his staff to the ground, the tigers went shooting up into the sky and poofed into nothing, a lion jumped him, trying to bite and claw him, he grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the foot, he leaped out of the way and he threw his sword at the lion, stabbing it right in the head, the second lion was running with the bear they tried to trick him, he clapped his hands and two Jeremys appeared, the bear went for the first one, but the clone whacked the bear with his staff then threw a knife at the lion, then the second Jeremy leaped over the lion and stabbed the bear in the head.  Livia then appeared from behind and stabbed him, the Jeremy clone poofed away in dust, and so did the second one.

“What the f-” she was interrupted by Jermey sitting on the roof looking hurt.

“One, Ow, have you had a building anger to stab me all these years?  And two, did you know that wasn’t me you killed?” Jermey asked.

“Yes I knew.  I can tell the difference between a clone and the conjurer.” Livia said.  As Jeremy got down from the roof, Safie came riding in on a stage, she stopped the stage.

“Livia, Jeremy.” she said his name with blush on her face.  “The Dwarves are ready for us.” they both got up on the stage and were riding off to the Dwarf district.  Safie steered the stage, Jeremy sat behind her and Livia sat behind Jeremy.

“You look beautiful today.” Jeremy said.

“Thanks,” she said.  “Don’t wizards have ceremonial robes?” 

“Oh yeah we do.” he snapped his fingers and his purple jacket, torn jeans, dark yellow shirt, and light black boots, turned into a long silver robe that parted in the middle of his waist, hiding his weapons to show peace and unity, a small pointed hat rested on the top of his head.  Livia grabbed the sides off her silver vest and it extended into a robe similar to what Jeremy was wearing, minus the hat.  

They arrived in the Dwarf district, the city was lit with torches and electric lights, the buildings were made out of stone, gold and metal.  They arrived at the center of the city there was a big ceremony going on, all the dwarves stood around an elevated platform with a golden throne resting on the center of that platform, the stage stopped mid way to the center of the city, they walked over to the right of the platform, where stood Shanel, Hank, Sergeant Major Lavant, Sola, and Arela, all looking formal and awaiting the arrival of someone.
