Outside the hospital…
Trick stood in the door way looking outside his mind drifting back to the night he committed the most heinous of acts.
Europe 1000 years ago…
Trick moved through the forest the hot sun beating down on his face as he approached the Norn's tree. "I must say I am shocked to see the Blood King of all people come to me for advice."
"I'm not here on a social call Norn you know I wouldn't be here if I had any other options." Trick's voice was filled with disdain and disgust.
The Norn just smiled as she stood up. "Ah yes the impending war you wish to know how to stop it?"
"Yes I tried to use my blood but to no avail." The Norn just started laughing. "What's so funny?"
The Norn calmly composed her but still seemed amused. "You Blood King this is a war that is fueled by the hatred of hundreds possibly thousands and you think that your blood will suffice?"
"What do you mean?" Trick became concerned though intrigued.
"You are a fae who is tainted with war and death. Your blood cannot bring peace however…"
"However what?"
"If innocent blood is spilt the blood of two newborns right out of the womb that are born of a fae and a human you will have the blood needed to right the laws."
Trick was immediately disgusted with the idea. "Are you mad? I cannot take the lives of children born of fae! Even if they are half human and as such considered abominations to kill one of fae blood without approval is still considered taboo! Besides lying with a human is itself a taboo punishable by death it would be impossible to find what need in time and the odds of twins is astronomical in itself."
"True but a war would result in the destruction of our world would it not? Besides I can tell you where such a fae can be found she will give birth in one month's time. Tell me what are two lives compared to millions? Or has the Blood King gone soft?"
"No it's… I never thought it would come to this." Trick was overcome by sorrow and remorse for what he was about to do he couldn't stop asking himself was he doing the right thing? He took a deep breath as he leaned against a tree. "Where is this woman and what else do I need for the spell?"
One month later the night of the ritual…
Trick gathered his tools and a dagger. He was breathing heavily still doubting himself. "Blood King we have them." A soldier reported as he walked into the cave.
"Very well let's begin." Trick carried his tools out with him into a circle where every fae elder and tribe leader had gathered. He looked up into the dark lightless night sky the only light given was from the massive fire. "Creator, Spirits, Ancestors forgive us for what we are about to do." He heard crying from his left side the cries of two newborns a boy and a girl. "Let us begin."
He walked over to the direction of the newborns he found them on an altar. "Forgive me." He whispered. He took the dagger and he ran the blade against their throats. The blood slowly drained into a whole and drained into a large glass container. He took the glass and he placed a cork in the opening. "It's done."
"No!" A cloaked woman with broken shackles on her wrists screamed as she ran towards the dead children. "What have you done?" She screamed as she fell her knees. "How could you? Monsters! Cowards! Butchers!"
"I am sorry but it was a necessary sacrifice. Please take heart knowing their deaths have brought everlasting peace." He tried to reach for her shoulder to comfort her but she smacked his hand away from her.
"Shut up! You miserably old fat cow! Necessary you say! What of my husband and who was eaten alive before me! If this peace be everlasting than I know this my vengeance upon both clans shall be as well!"
"How dare you threaten the Blood King and Elders!" A group of soldiers shouted as they charged her. "Who do you think you are?"
Suddenly the soldiers were floating and reaching for their throats as though some invisible force was strangling them. The soldiers started to float up into the sky above tree tops. "Who I am is of no consequence from no on you will address me as THE DARK WITCH!" Suddenly they were rammed through the chest being impaled. The elders screamed in horror and ran for their lives along with Trick as the woman faded into the night.
Present Day…
The Norn stared at her daughter who's face she could not see. "It's been so long my dear why don't you give your darling mother a hug?" She stretched out her arms and gave a mocking warm smile.
The Dark Witch tilted her head back it was clear that she was rolling her eyes under that hood though it could not be seen. "You were always such a bitch you know that Mother. Do you know why I am here?"
"Of course I do to kill me." The Norn was strangely proud of this fact. "I am so proud of you sweetheart to think you mastered even that spell to resurrect yourself."
The Dark Witch drew closer to the old woman. "Oh you're not going to die. I won't make it that easy Mother."
"What do you mean?" The Norn suddenly became concerned.
The Dark Witch touched the side of her mother's face and dug her black painted nails into her face. "Dodiet man savu enerģiju!"
The Norn screamed as she began to age and grow weaker eventually she couldn't move or speak. "So Mother how does it feel to be powerless well I suppose I should be off I have a debt to collect on." The witch then quickly vanished in a puff of black smoke.
Bo's house…
"Dyson please I can explain!" Bo yelled as Dyson started to storm out of the house.
"Look Bo I can't deal with this right now. We'll talk later okay?"
"Um sure it's just I thought we were done and I don't want to lose you again Dyson."
Dyson put his hands on her cheeks. "You will never lose me Bo I just need time to process this okay?"
"Okay sure." Bo was relieved that it wasn't over.
Dyson then walked out closing the door behind him. He took a deep breath when he heard a childish laugh.
"Oh how sweet you forgive her for taking a dark fae to her bed you're so honorable you kind of remind me of my husband that's why I like you." The Dark Witch slowly emerged from a wall covered in darkness as though she was a ghost.
"What do you want?" Dyson asked upset.
"What was that?" She then clenched her hand and he fell to his knees gasping for air.
"I mean what do you want my Queen?"
"Oh I wanted to give you your first task." She said playfully.
"What is it my Queen?"
"I want you to get me alone with Trick the Blood King." She spoke with sadistic joy as Dyson's eyes widened with shock.
