The four sisters were guided through a long hallway,then came to an halt in front of a tall,mahogany door which two elders opened for them. It looked like a tribunal room,except for the fact that there were not many things to sit down on. They all went to sit down in front of them and started talking about the whole situation.
"My trustworthy companions,we have called up the Charmed ones here,today,to talk about the dire situation we are into. It has come to my attention that there's a group of demons around who would like to revive the ancient magical city of Zambor(some of the elders who had no knowledge of that gasped). As you may already know,that city has been an incredible source of trouble in the past,and we are now called to restore the balance between good and evil,beforeit might be too late. Or else darkness is gonna take over the earth and never leave again and evil will have won once and for all. We've just discovered that the Charmed Ones have been deprived of their powers and we can't efford such a thing right now. This is why we're gonna provide them with copies of their powers for as long as they will need them,'till when they will not have recovered their own. On the other side we are also aware of the fact that our Paige down here is still in possession of her whitelighter ones and that she must learn to master them. As far as her powers of witch are concerne,they are klinked to the book too,but I myself trust in the fact that being the child of the prophecyshe s gonna find all the power she needs by connecting with the earth".
All the sisters had followed the speech of the elder and were now a little bit more aware about what was going on,but once again Prue spoke up,anyways. Once again panic had suddenly overtaken.
"Excuse me. I get everything you say,but I'm still surprised...what are we supposed to do?We know nothing about magic,not even the basics. Are you the ones who are gonna train us?How long for?We've got lives down there going. Won't people make some questions?How does it work up here? And what about my sisters,they are so young,and it looks as if you were condemning us to see a place which looks kind of like hell..."
She would've ket going,but her second rant of the day was halted,this time by the woman who had introduced herself as Sandra when they had arrived.
"Sit tight Prudence,what you're gonna do at first is being trained to fight,but since you can't stay here with us for too long,there's gonna be somebody else helping you at first. For exemple your whitelighter,Leo,you'll be allowed to see us from time to time,and soon enough when the time comes you'll be seeing somebody else too. Everything is gonna happen when the time comes for it too. If they want the Zambor back they are gonna have to start out with sacrifices. Prue and Piper felt like covering their younger sisters'ears. Sandra kind of understood.
"They are gonna have to sacrifice 5 witches,so there are 5 witches for 5 demons,they hold your powers but since they didn't take them straight from you they won't be able to use them,rather they are gonna put them aside and use their own book. You must find out where is your own book of shadows. If they gather other five from pretty powerful witches and convert them they'll be restoring the evil of all evil. They will have created a monster. A god. You're gonna have to find out where this witches are,and fix it."
"How so?We are gonna have to travel,won't we?said a stunned Piper.
"One of the perks of having a whitelighter is that you are soon gonna find out how to travel easily and quickly".
Suddenly the room was filled with white-blue ligths and Leo appeared in front of them.
"Paige can do that too...so it's sure..she is a whitelighter..but since she is...wouldn't she be kind of half dead?"said slapped her head as her young sister responded with an "ouch".
"Am I?"said little Paige worriedly.
Sandra laughed again and gave them the answer they needed:"No,not at all,Paige is pretty much alive,it just means that when someday many years from now I wanna hope,she will have the chance to choose between keep on helping people in danger or finally reaching a better place. Your sister is very special and I also wanna hope that someday all the elders they don't believe as I do,will. Now go,and save this world. This is only the beginning."
Sandra went to join a bigger group of elders and together they started chanting in latin.
"Potentiam ad potentiam. Experientia ad experientia. Poter magna veteres invocamus ad nos."*
Four balls of light came out of their raised hands and embedded into the four girls'bodies,then the lights died down as their hands sparkled with power.
"You've now been given an exact replica to your powers,but if you lose these too,you'll be at the mercy of demons. Some of your ancestors agreed to lending you their powers. Prudence,you were given the powers of your grandmother,I trust you'll make a responsible use out of it. Piper,all that is happening is just gonna make you stronger make your mother proud. Phoebe it's such an honour to have the same power as the granddaughter of your oldest ancestor. I'm sure you're gonna master the gift you were given and help your sisters with all your strength. And Paige(at that point Sandra crouched down to look her in the eyes),the true core of your family joined us today to make an exact replica of your powers,your oldest ancestor,but we trust you'll know how to make a just use out of them and guide us towards an era of peace,together with your sisters.
The four sisters smiled now knowing there was nothing to fear from them and Leo who had been there the whole time just watching,actually walked by their side and grabbed Piper's hand,inviting the other three to make the same,or hold onto each other. They were getting ready to orb for the first time in their witchy lives.
*"Power to power. Experience to experience. We invoke the power of the great ancestors to us"
