Chapter 24
Magician and Salem talk
In her dark realm, Salem was asleep in her cathedral/throne room. She had her arms laying on the table with her head sleeping in them. Various liquor bottles littered the table.
Suddenly, her sleep was disrupted when she felt a presence. "Who's there?" She shouted. "Tarot, I swear if it's you? I will make you suffer." She said.
That's when Magician came out of hiding. "So? Your the mighty Salem our mother has told us about." Salem quickly turned around and faced Magician. They stood there for a few moments, looking at each other in silence.
Finally, Salem decided to break the silence. "Who are you?" She asked. "I am Magician, Tarot's oldest son." He answered. Salem clutched her hands into fists. She was ready to attack him. However, Magician stopped her. "You cannot harm me", he said, "for I am not actually physically here."
"What do you mean?" Salem asked. "It seems, that my mind and spirit are here, but not my body. How that is, I don't know. So I'll make this quick. Release my mother and I promise you, me and my brothers will give you a quick and painless death. If not, well once we have beaten you down. I'll make sure that my mother will deliver the finishing blow."
Salem laughed at this and began to speak. "You think that I'm going to release your mother without a fight?" Salem asked.
"Then I guess, were going to have to beat you down." Magician answered. Salem was about to say more when she notice Magician's eyes. The eyes he processed were the eyes of her champion, Cinder.
"Those eyes, they belong to my champion. You're the one that took her eyes." Salem shouted. "Indeed I am. And I must say, they fit me very well." Magician responded with a grin.
Salem then charge at him, only to go through him. She quickly turned around as Magician was beginning to fade away. "I guess our time is up, no matter though, it was nice speaking to you. But next time, don't drink so much. For I could smell the alcohol on your breath from where you stood just now."
With that said, Magician disappeared completely and once he was gone, Salem let out a loud scream of anger and rage.

After Magician had finished his story, his brothers began to think. "So, that's how it's going to be then, huh?" World asked. "Indeed it is." Emperor responded.
"Then once we have beaten her down, our mother will deliver the finishing blow, right?" Asked Wheel. "That is my intention, as I feel that it is only fitting that our mother finishers her off." Magician answered.
With that said the brothers began to go to bed and fall asleep. And in the morning, the first day of classes would began.
