"You've been carrying her around with you for a thousand years in the Grimhold." Dave repeated. He was sitting with his sister and his master on the couch with the Encantus between them. Balthazar and Rose had just finished explaining to him what happened between Merlin's three apprentices all those years ago.

"I was going to give this to her that night." Balthazar said absentmindedly removing a necklace from his jacket. Rose reached out for his free hand, and rested her head on the sorcerer's shoulder.

"Okay you two." Dave jumped to his feet. "We are going to destroy Morgana."

"What's happened to you?" Balthazar asked tucking the necklace back inside his jacket.

"Nothing." Dave shrugged.

"You're still a bad liar." Balthazar smiled.

"Why does everyone always..."

"You know I'm glad she likes you." Balthazar jumped in, suddenly realizing Becky must have been what caused Dave to change his mind. "No, not surprised. Only glad." Balthazar assured the worried apprentice. "There's nothing like it is there?" The sorcerer asked squeezing Rose's hand gently. The two men shared a meaningful glance before Balthazar folded closed the Encantus and rose to his feet. "Put your old man shoes back on. We have some work to do."

The trio was once again crammed into Balthazar's Rolls Royce. This time preparing for their final chance to stop Horvath and Morgana.

"All right, when Morgana is released, no matter what happens, promise me you'll do whatever it takes to destroy her."

"I promise." Dave answered right away, very seriously.

"Rose?" Balthazar looked at her expectantly.

"Yeah I promise." She agreed reluctantly. Uncomfortable, Rose glanced around the car he eyes stopping at Dave's feet. "For the record, Dave, you wear the old man shoes very well."

"My feet disagree with you but thank you." Dave smiled over at his sister who seldom approved of his clothes.

"Everyone ready?" Balthazar asked stepping out of the car. Rose and Dave followed their Master as he unlocked the main door to Drake Stone's apartment.

"That's horrifying." Rose squeaked at the sight of a grotesque painting of Stone wrestling a panther.

"Let's just find the Grimhold and be done with it." Dave hissed. The three split up figuring it would be easier to find the Grimhold that way. Balthazar followed the main entrance way to Drake Stone's office where a collection of maps and notes were scattered across the desk.

"Battery Park." He whispered reading from one of the maps. "The Rising." But his feet had begun to stick to the floor. With one glance down Balthazar understood. "Persian quickrug. and he thinks I'm old- fashioned." The sorcerer struggled to free himself from the rug.

"My god, Henry VIII had less dead stuff hanging around." Rose groaned as she crept through the house and into the dining room lined with dead animal trophies.

"Well, well, well, what 'ave we here?" Rose rolled her eyes, turning to face Drake Stone. "Did you think we'd just let you walk in and take the Grimhold?"

"I'd kind of hoped yeah." Rose tried channeling her inner David. With a snap of her fingers Rose swept the rug out from under Stone causing him to fall on his behind.

"Oi that wasn't very nice!" Stone said scrambling to his feet. Before Rose could cast another spell Stone had her trapped in a body binding spell. "Well that was easy wasn't it?" Unable to move, Rose was forced to helplessly watch as Stone slipped Veronica's ring off her finger. "It's been Magical." He winked. Leaving her trapped on the floor.

"Excellent." Horvath congratulated when Stone presented him with Veronica's ring. "Have you heard of the Parasite Spell?" Horvath asked slipping the ring on to his cane, the younger man shook his head. "Sorry I forgot your education's somewhat lacking. Well, the Parasite Spell is a rather nasty piece of business. It originated in Haiti if memory serves. It enables one sorcerer to steal the energy from another." Tapping his cane to Stone's neck, Horvath casts the Parasite Spell causing Stone to collapse. "Well you weren't really using it were you?" Horvath cackled. Stepping over Drake's body, Horvath could sense Dave in the sitting room.

"Ostentatious." Dave mumbled as he took in the overbearing sight of Stone's sitting room. "So that's Morganga." He thought out loud as he picked up the Grimhold from where it sat in front of the fire place. Grimhold in hand Dave started searching for Rose and Balthazar.

"That was easy." Horvath smirked from the hallway. Dave's heart sank as he turned around to find Becky struggling against Horvath's grip. "Come on Dave, you know the drill. Give me what I want and I'll let her go."

"Dave...what is...going on?" Becky asked fighting to break free.

"It's going to be okay." Dave assured her. "You're gonna be okay."

"No she's not! She's going to be ground up into chunks and fed to the cat unless you give me Merlin's ring and the Grimhold." That's your cue for an epic rescue. Dave though searching around for Balthazar or even his sister. "Balthazar?" Horvath guessed Dave's thoughts. "He's busy admiring the decor. As for your sister? Well she'll be on ice for some time. So what's it going to be?"

"Here." Dave sighed handing over his ring and the Grimhold. Once both the ring and Grimhold were in his possession, Horvath released Becky and left the apartment.

"You okay?" Dave asked holding Becky to his chest. Becky didn't answer she just clung to Dave, breathing in his familiar scent.

"The Grimhold?" Balthazar panted, entering the hall now that he had finally freed himself from the Persian Quickrug. Dave didn't say anything. He tore his eyes from Becky for a second to look up at Balthazar, his face explained everything. "I see."

"He was going to kill Becky." Dave explained hold her tighter. "I'm so sorry Balthazar."

"I would have done the same thing, Dave." Balthazar verified. "Speaking of which, where is Rose?"

"Rose!" Dave exclaimed. Dave had been so preoccupied with protecting Becky, he'd forgotten all about his sister. Dave, Becky and Balthazar searched the apartment staying together on Dave's insistence.

"Wait I see her shoe!" Becky exclaimed when the trio entered the dining hall. "What's happened to her?"

"It's alright Becky." Balthazar insisted. He bent down and touched Rose's face, at the same time Balthazar reversed the curse Stone had put on her.

"Balthazar." Rose spoke dreamily. "Where's the Grimhold? Did we get..." The sorcerer shook his head. "Oh." Rose bit her lip. "And I suppose he got your rings too?"

"Just...mine." Dave replied sheepishly.
