The REAL reason Nerissa absorbed the Knights of Destruction. Also a response to Taranee's joke.
Disclaimer:Don't own Witch. I own most of the books, and a Nerissa costume, and a Cornelia McDonald's doll, but that's it.
Nerissa looked irked that they had woken her up so early. Nerissa was not, and never had been, a morning person. Ember took Tridart's hand for support, turned to Nerissa and said firmly," Mom, Tridart and I are getting married."
The cave almost exploded.
Seriously, Cassidy's ghost flew out of the cave, Halinor had to dodge a bolt of lightning, and Kadma was nearly impaled with a flying chunk of rock. Shagon and Khor were wisely training outside, so they only got the aftershocks of Nerissa's anger.
"What do you mean you're GETTING MARRIED? YOU'RE ONLY EIGHT EPISODES OLD! And I'm not your mother, but that's beside the point. No way, absolutely not."
Ember had shrunk back against the wall of the cave, and glanced at Tridart, who was cowering behind a boulder.
She said more cautiously," I'm sorry, Mistress, but we're in love, and-"
This time the cave actually did explode.
"I ABSOLUTELY FORBID IT, AND THAT IS THE END OF THAT."
Ember and Tridart were quiet. And later, Nerissa made the decision to use them to fuel the new Guardians, mostly because she was worried that Ember would get pregnant out of wedlock. That was an evil sorceress hellbent on world domination no-no.
Taranee so called it. She had a rare flash of insight, and made the joke. And then this was born.
O.G.
