Buffy and Faith attacked the daemons with a serious of killer blows while Spike just stood there a look of absolute horror on his face. Xander and Oz rushed into the battle after getting axes from Xander's trunk they made quick work of the demons and then Faith rounded on Spike and saw the fear in his eyes. "Spike what is it? What the hell is wrong?"

Spike shook himself. "Those were daemons."

Buffy looked around at the confusion on everyone's faces. "Okay let's get back to the Magick Box and see Giles."

Buffy herded everyone in to the cars and they sped to the shop each lost in their own thoughts. When they got there they rushed into the shop, Giles was sitting at the table with Jenny and Willow going through books, Willow glanced up and upon seeing Oz ran over and gave him a hug while Buffy slumped into a chair. "Giles we seemed to have encountered the daemons."

"Good lord, "Giles sputtered, "they arrived early, and we still haven't been able to locate the spell we will need to transfer the essences of Merlin and Sekhmet into you and Xander."

Buffy started pacing. "Well then you need to look faster."

Willow looked up with an idea gleaming in her eyes. "What about a spell to find that which is lost."

Morgana just coming down the stairs heard Willow's suggestion. "That is a wonderful idea. Do you have such a spell?"

Willow nodded her head. "Yeah all I need to know is what I am looking for."

Morgana walked across the room to the table and waved her hand, an image of the book they were looking for, the book was thick and the cover was black with red lettering, The Book of Souls.

Willow nodded and started gathering the things she would need for the spell. Once she had everything she needed she went to the back room to cast the circle when she was done with that she lit the incense and candles and opened her mind as she started casting the spell.

"Bound and Binding
Binding Bound.
See the Sight
Hear the Sound.
What we lost
We now need found.
Bound and Binding
Binding Bound."

As Willow finished the spell a whirlwind of energy started forming in the middle of the room as it grew an image started forming in the center, it was of the book and as the image grew they saw the book in what had been the master's lair. The energy fell in on itself and disappeared, Willow looked over towards Buffy, she gritted her teeth. "The master's lair, that's where the book is."

Giles looked at Buffy. "Are you going to be all right down there?"

Buffy looked around the room seeing varying degrees of worry. "I will be fine guys. I am going to take Faith with me; we'll get the book and be back no reason to wig."

Buffy looked at Faith and they left together, walking along Buffy told Faith exactly what had happened down in the master's lair. When they got there Buffy paled a little bit, she was just now making progress about getting over her last death and here she was confronted with her first one. They split up and started searching through the books that were piled around going through them when Faith called. "Buff what the hell is this."

She was pointing to the in ground pool of blood that the master had lived in. Buffy walked over. "It was where the master stayed when he wasn't trying to be a pain in my ass. Do you think the book could be down there?"

Faith nodded. "Only one way to find out." And with that dived in to the blood pool, Buffy called out her name but did not venture towards the pool. She would give Faith one more minute then go in and get her but that was not necessary cause Faith broke the surface and climbed out of the pool with not a drop on her and the book in her hand. Buffy looked relieved and gave Faith a smile and then they beat it out of that place. They had just came topside when they were attacked by a group of daemons and vampires, they were completely surrounded Faith glanced at Buffy and nodded her head and they attacked at the same time. Passing the book between them as they fought by the time they got to the last vampire Buffy was exhausted she knelt down and said. "I'm not going to kill you because I want you to get a message to your leader tell him to get the hell out of my town and not to come back."

She let him up and he took off running not even glancing back, Buffy looked wearily in his direction and then started walking silently back to the Magick box with Faith falling into step next to her.

Morgana and Xander were in the back room training with the sword, at first Xander was a little reluctant to fight her because well girl and plus old but Morgana held up pretty well despite her age had gotten the best of Xander a few times.

"Xander you are like a book I can read which way you are going to attack by looking at your face and shoulders, make your face like a stone and stop moving your shoulders."

Xander nodded his face set as Morgana attacked him and he went on the defensive, the clang of the swords could be heard clearly from the back of the room. Xander shifted his shoulder and attacked right, Morgana moved that way and Xander spun and attacked left knocking the sword from her hand and pinning her with his sword, she smiled and stepped back.

"You are getting better child, I did not even notice the switch, "Xander smiled but was quiet," What's wrong Xander?"

"Morgana, what will happen to you after all this is over?"

"So it is me you are worried about, Xander I made a deal with Sekhmet that I would sleep until I was needed then I would help until the final battle. After wards I will finally be at rest and can join Merlin, my daughter Alexandra, and will finally see my grandson again."

Xander nodded. "I don't want you to go. Why can't you stay and live the life you were meant to?"

Morgana opened her arms and took Xander into them, she smiled sadly, and she had spoken to Giles about Xander and knew of his horrible home life. She had spoken to Anya and had helped comfort the girl over her heartache, she had become a part of the group and it would be difficult to move on when the time came.

"Xander it is not my time anymore, it is your time, yours and Buffy's and your friends time."

Xander looked at her. "We don't mind sharing."

"Seeing you," Morgana said through tears, "brings me great joy. I've seen the White Knight, a good man, a man full of honor and love. I am proud of you Xander know that above all-else that I am proud of the man you have become and the man you have yet to discover."

They hugged once more and moved out to the shop just as Buffy and Faith come in the front door, Faith still carrying the book, Morgana spots it and gives a sigh of relief.
"You have recovered the book that is wonderful."

"We were attacked." Faith said as she handed the book to Morgana

Jenny looked up from the book she had been reading. "By the daemons?"

Buffy sank into a chair and sighed. "Yes but also by vampires, the daemons and vamps seem to be working together."

There was a crash at the front door and standing in the busted down door stood none other than Glory, She smiled at Buffy. "Hi honey, I'm home."
