Scrimmage Of Sorcery Part 1
The woman took off her domino mask, and Danika & Jeremiah recognized her as well.
"Zahida!" Emperor Jin, Danika, and Jeremiah shouted in horrified unison.
"Who is Zahida, Jin Darling?" Jade asked with nervousness in her voice, she held Baby Jadeite in her arms.
"'Who is Zahida, Jin Darling?' Well, Mrs. New Empress of Weiling," Zahida mocked. "I used to be the Imperial Sorceress of Weiling until Emperor Quon had replaced me with that worthless piece of trash, Wu-Chang!"
Empress Jade was shocked to hear Wu-Chang being referred to in such a rude manner.
"How dare you insult Wu-Chang like that!" the empress exclaimed.
"Then, after being cast aside like an old wand case, I had joined Valtor out of the hope I could do something better, Valtor entrusted me with murdering the Heads of the Fellowship of Spirit and and framing Hedda for the crime!" Zahida finished as if Empress Jade had not interrupted her.
"Mother told me Great-uncle Teboc revealed to her that you had killed Grandfather & Grandmother," Dorrie Lucinda shouted at Zahida. "so help me, I will..."
"No, Dorinda," Jeremiah warned, seeing his only child transform from human to fairy calling her by her special nickname. "you are not fully trained to take on a fully grown adult witch like Zahida!"
Danika transformed from human to fairy herself as Dorrie pulled out her wand.
"My daughter may be too inexperienced to fight adult wicked witches..." Danika began.
"But that doesn't necessarily mean that we're not!" Dorrie finished.
Danika was about to attack Zahida when Jeremiah had stopped her.
"Wait, Nika! Stop your attack!" Jeremiah called.
Danika turned to face her husband, Jeremiah could see that there was an expression of confusion on his wife's face.
"Why would you want me to stop my attack, Jere?" Danika asked.
"Because, Nika," Jeremiah answered. "the Imperial Family of Weiling needs protection, and it should be you who guards them and our daughter."
Danika halted her attack, "But, what will you be doing, Jere?" she asked, worried for her husband.
"I am going to help Dorrie attempt to defeat Zahida," Jeremiah answered Danika. "now, please take Dorinda, and go!"
Danika grabbed Dorrie Lucinda's right hand with her left (Danika was left handed) and they led the way to a safe place for the Imperial Family of Weiling with the Imperial Family of Weiling following closely behind them.
Danika looked back at the door to the throne room.
Anzendearu koto, Jeremiah, anzendearu koto, Dorrie. Danika thought in Japanese.
