Chapter 13
The meeting

Salem had called for her other disciples. Tyrian, Hazel and Dr. Watts. The three other disciples stared at Cinder. All of them were shocked and horrified from what she told them.

Salem then began to speak. "As you well know we are facing a major problem from these things, one of which is that the one that did this to Cinder has taken the fall maidens power for itself. Now Tyrian have you located the spring maiden yet?"

Tyrian turned to face Salem. "Yes I have, but I encounter a problem, she's already dead and her power is gone."

"WHAT? How?" Demanded Salem. "I don't know, but she's dead." Answered Tyrian.

Salem was about to say something more when the door in front of them burst open. A feminine shaped entity made out of light then entered the room.

"May I join you?" It asked. Salem instantly knew who the voice belonged to and angrily said, "Tarot."

"And hello to you to Salem. "Tarot responded. "How are you even out of your prison? I locked you up myself." Salem demanded.

"When you are a God, you can do anything like this." Tarot said as she snapped her fingers. Instantly food appeared before Tyrian Hazel and Dr. Watts.

The three of them stared in disbelief. In front of them was a bold of soup, two dinner rolls one with butter and one without, and a sandwich, along with a beverage.

"Go on, eat." Tarot instructed. The three men began to eat what was in front of them, not knowing what was in it. Salem stared at Tarot in silence. Finally the silence was broken, and Salem began to speak.

"What are you doing here Tarot?" Asked Salem. "It's simple Salem, I've come here to tell you that your days are numbered. And my four sons will be here soon." Tarot answered.

"Your sons?" Asked Salem. "Yes my four sons, Magician, Emperor, World and Wheel of fate. My four heavenly Kings, the rulers of the primal forces of nature, fire, water, ice and electricity. They are the ones that possesses the powers of the maidens now. Except for Magician, he was only able to get half of the fall maidens powers."

Salem's eyes went wide in shock. "It was you who did this?" Salem angrily shouted at Tarot. Tyrian, Hazel and Dr. Watts stopped eating as they were caught off guard from Salem's outbursts of anger.

"Yes it was me and me alone, I brought my sons into this world. And now that they're here it's only a matter of time before they kill your precious Dragon." Tarot responded.

Salem let out a small chuckle. "It's going to be hard to do, even if you're sons have the maidens powers they wouldn't last long." Salem said.

"Don't you underestimate my son's Salem, they are far more powerful than you think." Tarot responded. "I should just go to your prison and kill you myself and be done with it." Salem said bitterly.

"That's not a wise idea and we both know it, not after last time when we first met, of course I would've won if you hadn't fucking cheated." Tarot responded angrily.

Salem slammed her hands on the table and said, "My children served me and me alone and they were willing to give their lives to save me and imprison you." Salem angrily said.

To which Tarot angrily shouted. "I AM A GOD SALEM, YOU ARE NOTHING MORE BUT A HIVE MIND." Tarot then began to calm herself down. She then continue to speak.

"Besides you can't control them, they are wild animals and they must be put down. And I should also point out that you are about to have a few less disciples." She said.

"What you talking about?" Salem asked. "You'll see in about 3... 2... 1... Now." Tarot answered.

Tyrian and Hazel both grabbed their chest in pain and agony and fell to the ground. Tyrian skin began to change color from pale white to a dark brown, he then started to grow claws on his hands and on his feet, this caught Salem and Dr. Watts by surprise and shock.

Tyrian then began to grow large bat like wings, as he continued to scream in pain.

Hazel had begun to scratch his chest uncontrollably as he was making deep scar gashes.

Cinder could hear the screaming of Tyrian and Hazel she couldn't understand what was going on. She then shouted, "What's happening?"

Eventually the screaming stopped and Tyrian and Hazel got up from the ground only they weren't Tyrian and Hazel anymore.

Salem stared at the winged creature that used to be Tyrian. She then said, "T- Tyrian?" The creature then face Salem and spoke in a high pitch voice. "Who is Tyrian? My name is Hangman." It said. "And I am Star." Said the being that used to be Hazel.

Salem then face Tarot, and shouted. "What did you do to them?" Slaem demanded.

"I have resurrected one of Magician's Lieutenant's. Salem this is Hangman. And this is World's Lieutenant. Star." Tarot answered. Salem however angrily shouted. "I didn't ask who they were I asked what you did to them."

"Fine I'll tell you, the food Tyrian and Hazel ate and digested had bits of a formula, that was in my blood stream. As I saw these two as perfect host bodies for Hangman and Star." Tarot answered.

Except for you Dr. Watts I have special plans for you. You are a man of science are you not?" Tarot asked.

"Y- Yes, yes I am." Answered Dr. Watts. "Then I have some projects that you may be interested in, that is if you decide to join me and serve my son's." Tarot said.

"Dr. Watts you can't be considering her offer?" Salem said. Dr. Watts look at Salem then Tarot.

"Time is wasting Dr. Watts, would you rather serve a weak and pathetic being that is a hive mind? Or would you rather serve a God?" Tarot asked.

Dr. Watts sat up from his chair and went with Tarot. Salem was shocked by this betrayal, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, everything was falling apart before her eyes.

Tarot then stared at Salem and said, "Goodbye. Oh and By the Way Cinder, your eyes fit my oldest son quite well."

With that Tarot, Star, Hangman and Dr. Watts disappeared.
