Chapter 3.
Back at the camp, we have Anaya, Nathaniel and Gideon sat down on the ground around a small campfire. Gideon is silent reflexing on what happened earlier his powers were out of control a basic earth manipulation spell caused so much damage it almost destroyed a village. All the damage recently has been entirely Gideon's fault in his eyes. Gideon had control when it came to making the Vault whole and saving Robin and Prue from a dark spell that almost killed them. But now he's completely useless no wonder his family and friends are in comas.
"What have I done," Gideon whispers.
"Gideon, we've all lost control here and there of our magic at some point," Nathaniel tells Gideon.
"Lost control it was one of the earliest spells me and Prue developed during the first days of Vocalisation magic," Gideon replies.
"It happens to all Children of Darkness," Anaya says.
"But why my powers were working perfectly before if I can't control my magic than what use am I in saving my family and friends," Gideon snaps.
"It easily happens we need to figure out how to break Charlotte's spell and send our siblings back to the Vault," Nathaniel tells Gideon and Anaya.
"How do we do that,"? Gideon asks.
"Charlotte only cares about the power she must have come here to steal the realm's magic or at least the majority of it," Anaya said.
"Wait, how on earth do you steal a realm's magic," Gideon questions.
"It is possible but really difficult you have to collect the blood of all the rulers of the realm than with that blood you, have to wait for a shooting star to occur which will allow the caster, in this case, Charlotte to draw the magic from the Realm directly towards her and then she can just absorb it," Nathaniel explains.
"So what do we do go to the rulers of the realm and protect them she has an army of Children of Darkness and we're only a team of three," Gideon suggests.
"For starters, we need to find out where each of the rulers' lives than me and Nathaniel will protect them and you can stay here where its safe," Anaya tells the boys.
"Fine, I know I'm a liability right now," Gideon said.
"We will figure out what's the base way to manage your powers right now we need to go and protect the royal families," Nathaniel spoke before teleporting out of the camp with Anaya.
Gideon now all alone reflects on what just happened earlier with Charlotte's followers. Gideon knows something is wrong if only he could ask someone for help. Gideon unexpected falls asleep as if somebody was calling him. Gideon finds himself in another dream realm, Gideon shouldn't be surprised by now. This dream realm took the shape of Gideon's campsite.
"I haven't seen you in such a long time child," Tamar the Original keeper of balance says.
"Tamar, thank god you're here I need help," Gideon replied as he runs over to Tamar.
"I can sense your fear child it wears heavy on your heart," Tamar tells Gideon.
"My friends and family there in these strange comas that allowed Charlotte and Children of Darkness who chose the path of evil to come back to life," Gideon said.
"I know Gideon and I am ashamed that you haven't intervened sooner it's your responsibility as the Gatekeeper and keeper of balance to prevent this and correct it if it does happen," Tamar spoke.
"I've tried Tamar but no matter what I do I fail my magic is out of control I can't even control my powers," Gideon snapped.
"And there lies your problem child," Tamar replies.
"I don't understand," Gideon says.
"Magic is not some tool you can control its a way of life it's who you are Gideon, you have to learn to run with your power and not try and rush it and you have to trust in your power and saving your family and restoring balance is not your only mission here child," Tamar tells Gideon.
"But," Gideon said however before he can finish his sentence he wakes up.
Meanwhile, over at one of the rulers' castles, we have Anaya and Nathaniel speaking to the two rulers. Anaya and Nathaniel found it easy to enter the castle. But it proved to be harder than they thought. These two specific rulers are refuse to believe the two are Children of Darkness at first since they are only ever heard about in myths.
"If what you are saying is true Anaya and Nathaniel that there an army of Children of Darkness that chose the path of evil want our blood how will you protect us,"? One of the rulers asks.
"We can perform certain spells like we did with the other rulers' castles and their grounds we use blood magic," Nathaniel tells the rulers.
"What is Blood Magic,"? The other ruler asked.
"Blood Magic is a specific type of magic mostly developed in Dark Magic, it's more suited to sealing places off what we do is we either take a drop of your blood and enchant it or something that represents you and releases the spell across the castle and your grounds and only the people you wish to come and leave can do so Charlotte and her followers won't be able to touch your castle or its ground," Anaya explains to the two rulers.
"How soon can you perform such a spell,"? The other ruler questioned.
"Now if we hurry," Nathaniel says. Anaya and Nathaniel with the rulers' consent take a strand of each from their hair and put it into a small vial before pricking each of their hands letting a few droplets of blood fall into the vial. Then the two Children of Darkness infuse some of their Dark Magic into the blood and strands of hair. Afterwards, Anays throws the vial onto the ground and as soon as the vial smashes a wave of Blood Magic is released across the castle and rulers' grounds shielding them for Charlotte and her followers.
