"We're going to have to break them apart," Sophie said confidently. "So they can't use their power together against us."
The School Master nodded, "Yes,"
There was a tingling in his mind though, like a bell ringing, calling for attention.
The School Master looked to the exit in the cave they were in. It was just big enough so that Sophie and him could set up a hide out.
He felt a lurking sensation near the caves... Near the lake.
A little panic rose in him. What if whoever was in the lake's waters found it? The thing he was trying to keep a secret from Sophie? What if it was them who found it?
The School Master let out a cough, glancing at Sophie. Her murky eyes turned to their original beautiful emerald green form before shimmering back to a dark shade. Her now white hair had a tint of gold in it, and little pieces of her new outfit started cutting away. The crown of thorns resting on Sophie's head started to fade away to little pieces of dust, a black sharp thorn on the ring of spines sparkled for a moment before disappearing.
The School Master's mind was thrown into chaos. All this work, only to be thrown away? This can't be happening...
He started pacing around the room. Should he go? Then Sophie may follow, and discover what he was hiding...
Then again, if he didn't go, Sophie will regain the choice of being Good or Evil.
Descion made, the School Master flew out of the cave and to the one next door full of a world of enchantment.
"There's no time to explain." Professor Dovey hushed, ushering them both out of their dorm rooms.
Agatha peeked at Professor Floria, who had a strange glint in her golden eyes. Her hair was now a shade of black... Ebony black? Why would Professor Floria change her hair style and color? And why was it the same color as Agatha's? Agatha pushed the thoughts away, after all, there were more important matters at hand.
But she still can't help but ask.
"Professor Floria?" Agatha began asking, only to be interrupted.
"What I looked like earlier was a dsiguise, used from hair-styling magic. This is my real appearance."
A hundred more questions popped up in Agatha's mind, but she kept her mouth quiet.
Tedros, who was walking by her side, eyes looked very inquisitive, but he didn't say a word.
"Agatha..." Professor Floria started, "Do you remember when you saw the prophecies the magic mirrors gave you, and then the visions?"
Agatha nodded. So this had something to with that...
Her mind seemed to stop for one moment.
Was she supposed to do what the riddle was telling her to do?
Tedros looked as if in deep thought, before speaking up.
"So you're saying I'll have to fight whatever the School Master sent to me, or apparently my 'nemesis', and Agatha will have to find whatever will bring us hope to a war that will soon occur?"
Agatha blinked. Sometimes Tedros could be so oblivious, but he was also in the top ranks for good...
A war that'll soon occur... At Sophie and the School Master's hands?
Wasn't one war enough?
Of course it wasn't. However the School Master came back alive, he was seeking for the greatest evils... With Sophie. Tedros and her both were the School Master and Sophie's greatest opponets, and now they were sending obstacles for them.
"Yes." Professor Dovey whispered, cracking a small smile for the first time since they started the conversation. "Brilliant."
Tedros let out a smug smile while Agatha just huffed.
"Do you still remember how to mogrify?" Professor Floria asked. "Both you and Tedros will have to reach the Black Mountains in very little time."
Agatha and Tedros both nodded.
"Good."
They reached the front doors of the School For Good.
"Good luck, students," Professor Dovey said. "I know you're capable of doing this."
Professor Floria tugged on Agatha's sleeve. Agatha looked up, seeing tears shining in her eyes.
"I'm sorry..." She whispered, her voice breaking off. "I promise I'll tell you everything..."
There was only a few footsteps. Professor Floria left.
Agatha had no time to ponder on the meaning of her words though.
She had a mission.

Dot transformed back into a human in a flash of green light, along with Anadil and Hester.
"Now we have to find what's wrong..." Hester said, looking at the Black Mountains they arrived at.
Dot, Hester, and Anadil sensed something chaotic, an opponet to both Good and Evil. It was something that would throw the legends into abyss, and the fairytale world into a storm that'll never end.
"We have to find the trouble," Anadil said, pounding a fist into her bony hand. She closed her eyes. "I sense something..."
Dot felt a strange pulling sensation too.
"Over there!"
Hester sprinted towards the left cave, Anadil following close behind.
"Wait for me!"
The last rays of light escaped just for Dot to see a white dove, landing on the spot they left.

The School Master waved an airy hand as the magic mirror in front of him started swirling like a grey cloudy day... What everyday soon will be.
"Who are the wanderers of this mountain?" He questioned the mirror as the spiraling swarms of grey started turning pitch black.
"Look into the cave of Sophie's past, and then a prince waiting to fight his nemesis."
A smile crept onto the School Master's face as the black pit in the mirror turned back to his reflection.
With a glow of his silver finger and a muttering of words, the School Master chanted the spell that would take most of the energy of Tedros's (who was the prince, of course) nemesis, who would most likely then lead him to his demise.
As he did this, he felt like the spell was tearing him apart.
"Probably just a side effect of such advance magic." The School Master thought, his finger dimming. "It should feel better in just a moment."
~V~
A mess was tangling, as the unknown stabs the heart, and magic mirrors tell, what lays inside in the deep and dark.
