Skye sat on the ledge of the balcony. "Wow! This whole shindig is just for you? I didn't think you were liked that much! In fact, you were downright hated. That is why I left."
Clove raised an eyebrow stepping closer. "What do you mean? you were a member of my court?"
"Oh YOUR court? Look at you already taking control your tone is starting to sound the same. I guess people do not change. Once a bitch always a bitch. I was you right hand you know that? That is, until the power got to your head. I was the one who told you that Xander was a good guy. I am not so evil. Sometimes the light is not as innocent. I get respect in the Dark court! Eifa listens to my opinions. You basically exiled me without getting rid of me. I told you you were wrong and you told everyone that they would get beheaded if they spoke to me! Over something so trivial!"
"BUT YOU KNOW! You know I don't remember any of that. We could have started over!" Clove begged standing in front of her once faithful companion.
"No." Skye's head shook. "You..you will remember again I know it and you will lose this whole sweet personality..It is already changing. Either way I am not here to reminisce. Madron is pissed and demands her daughter get what she deserves, I agree. You are a disgusting ruler. Just tell Brigantia...The real queen, that there is a war headed straight for her. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Questioned an extremely shocked Clove.
"Unless you and Eifa have a duel. The winner receives both of the courts. Majik only! No other weapons."
"Tell Madron that I accept." Clove growled.
"Aren't you going to tell your mother first?"
"No..Tell her I accept." Clove watched as Skye shrugged and hopped from the balcony.
"You agreed to WHAT?" Yelled Tari. "Do you have any idea how to use any of your majik?"
"I figured you guys would be able to teach me.."
"She has had ages of practice! God...You are the one who has to tell Xander because I sure as hell am not going to be the one!" Crystal chimed in.
"No one has to tell him anything okay?"
"What are we keeing a secret from me?" Ask Xander who had walked in carrying goblets for the women. He lifted one up to Clove and smirked. Dirt still covered his face.
"Xan..I know I don't want you doing that anymore right? I don't want you to do this." Tari nudged her. "OKAY...I agreed to a, I don't know, majik duel with Eifa. It isn't a big deal." Clove explained. "Right?"
His face fell. "Y..I just got you back. She can kill you! Can we have a moment alone?"
Tari, Crystal and Edan nodded walking from the room.
" I love you. I finally got you to love me back and..Madron let me go back to the mortal world so I could protect you and I did just fine that entire time until yo uactually...met are going to get killed."
"Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence Xander. I will be fine." She stepped towards him placing a hand on his chest. "I have something to come back to remember? I have to get you cleaned up. You're filthy."
Xander smiled and kissed the top of her head. " I will kill her myself if she hurts you. Now..Tari is probably the best to teach you how to use majik okay?"
Efia sat on her throne with her legs over the arm rests. "This is sooo exciting. I get to be queen of both courts. Can you believe it mother? Me!"
Brigantia's eyes rolled. "I will forfeit right now if that is how you are going to behave! Now go train!"
"Why? She does not know what she is doing at all!"
"That does NOT mean you should show any weakness. Now GO!"
Clove stood in a large, empty room with Tari, Edan, Crystal, and Xander. Tari stepped forward. "Okay..you are going to need to identify the source of your power before anything. We all have pendants and, considering you aren't a goddess, you need one too.
Xander walked up handing Clove the key necklace. "I guess it is alright to return this since you are back to me. I assume it is your source..You did say it was to be protected with my life."
Clove placed the necklace around her neck and gasped dropping to the ground.
"IT BURNS!" She screamed rolling around the floor.
Xander dropped beside her and made sure she didn't hit her head and she shook on the floor. "TARI!"
Tari stood completely still staring. "I..I think she is remembering.."
