I am so very sorry it took me forever to update, and such a short chapter at that…But with everything that's happened in my life over the past months (good things, don't worry!,)writing hasn't been on top of my list unfortunately =S I solemnly swear that I will finish the story within a couple of weeks from now so keep an eye on it if you'd like to know how it all ends…

Crouching down behind the headboard, Magnus reached under the bed for his bag while Siva began throwing spells and purple coloured fireballs Chidons way, the house crumbling further and further. There was no time to explain his plan to Siva, they had to get out of the house and into the forest if his plan was to be further executed. But there was obviously no way Chidon was going to let them pass so he began to open a portal on the floor no bigger than an oversized rabbit hole. Having finished the portal Magnus visualized the forest surrounding lake Lynn and yanked Siva from the room and through the portal with him, leaving a furious Chidon behind.

Having had no time to prepare, Siva didn't land quite as graceful as Magnus did, she could already feel the bruise it was going to leave.

'What the hell Magnus?! I was closing in on him, I had him!' she yelled at him as she got up. 'And don't laugh at me' she added as she saw him chuckling while she rubbed her very sore behind, 'You better have a brilliant explanation for why you dragged us here!'

Magnus chuckled again 'I have a brilliant explanation indeed, look around you, don't you see where we are?'

'Of course I know where we are, but…' she broke off mid-sentence realizing why Magnus had portalled them to the Lake of Dreams. 'You want to drive Chidon in the lake don't you?'

Magnus clapped his hands, 'You are very perceptive tonight, yes, we are going to drive him in the lake, and we have to hurry, he put a tracking spell on one of my slippers…'

At that he scowled at his feet while he continued 'which is missing from my ensemble as you can see but that's beside the point.'

He snapped his head back up looking Siva in the eyes with a devious spark in his own, 'he'll be here in less then 5 minutes, let's be ready to feed him to the fish that like themselves a taste of Warlock from time to time.'

He winked and offered Siva his arm, 'I have a surprise for him he'll never be ready for'. And they took of towards the far end of the lake to prepare.
