Chapter 24 Talking and Hiding.
The group of four made their way to Magic School's staff quarters. A place where all the members of staff met to discuss important matters. Needless to say, when they entered said quarters, Miss Bone wasn't impressed.
"If I recall correctly, Mr Halliwell, I told you that your role as a teacher here has been revoked and asked you to leave," Miss Bone said.
"You did but you didn't tell me not to come back," Wyatt replies.
"Look, we're here on important business that affects all of us both in and out of the Magical Community," Chris spoke up.
"Wyatt being dismissed is not important business," Miss Bone responds bluntly.
"No, but the safety of both the Magical Community and the Mortal Community is," Chris said.
"What could possibly be such a threat to both communities?" Miss Bone asked sceptical of the witch's claim.
"Cronus the Titan God of Time has followers, who want to bring him back," Bianca answered.
"Impossible the late Charmed One, defeated them when she became the Goddess of Nature," Miss Bone replies coldly wanting to dismiss this conversation quickly.
"We believe whatever force that broke all of these spells was a divine force, we came here for help and to give you a warning," George says, he already didn't like Miss Bone, she reminded him of his late aunt Wendy, boy was she a bitter woman who lacked emotion.
"Lost Halliwell witch meet Miss Bone. Miss Bone meet the lost Halliwell witch," Chris says his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"We need some of your most powerful magical artefacts and weapons. Cronus' followers have restored Cronus' Sundial and want the vessel to bring their master back," George spoke up.
"Cronus' Sundial is a mere myth," Miss Bone protested.
"Trust us, it isn't Parker found a way to restore it for Cronus and his followers," Chris said.
"Parker as in Phoebe's child," Miss Bone gasped.
"Yes, our charming cousin has switched sides for her own benefit. She restored the Sundial and now we think, they want to resurrect Cronus early somehow," Wyatt responded.
"It would take great power to restore the Sundial never mind bring about his resurrection," Miss Bone pointed out.
"Power they have, they used the Amulet of Amara and a dozen other amulets to restore the Sundial. As well as the power of the Twice Blessed," Chris replied.
"How could they have used the power of the Twice Blessed to help restore the Sundial?" Miss Bone asked not being able to help her curiosity.
"Long story short, they lured me there and tricked me the fractions of the Sundial absorbed all of my magic," Wyatt answered quietly.
"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell lost his powers, why not use the spell to call a witch's power?" Miss Bone questions doing her best to hide her smirk.
"The Sundial claimed my power in a way that can't be reversed, I'm, I'm mortal whatever magical genes, I had been erased," Wyatt admitted he still couldn't believe it.
"So, the famous Wyatt Halliwell is mortal now and seeking our help," Miss Bone chuckled.
"You really are a bitter bitch, Miss Bone, Parker and Cronus' followers are a threat to us all, now you can either help us or you're on her side," George replied.
"If she is as powerful as you say than the school must remain neutral," Miss Bone said. George growing tired freezes everyone in the room except for Wyatt, Chris and Bianca.
"Let's just get whatever weapons, we can and artefacts and leave even her frozen self, Miss Bone is insufferable," Chris says.
Hiding that was something the Halliwell brothers, never thought they would ever consider nor the Phoenix Assassin witch, Bianca. They have always been in a position of power where running wasn't up as an option. Sure, they had powerful enemies, but they possessed great power. Both independently and as a family. However now, one of the most powerful beings of existence has been reduced to nothing but a mere mortal. Now with that loss of great power a power vacuum has been created. The side of good has lost a great power evening the odds between good and evil. Yes, the Halliwell/Warren bloodline was still the most powerful line of witches and feared but there will be some who would be more confident in their attacks. Now that both the Charmed Ones and the Twice Blessed are gone.
The foursome is hiding out in an abandoned building. One they had cloaked but still, they weren't sure how long the cloaking spell would be effective. They took turns sleeping two slept for eight hours, while the others kept watched and then those who slept took over after their eight hours of sleep was up.
"Bring together the Sundial and me, as Cronus' vessel, my will is his. I call upon the Zbornak powers, to retrieve what is rightfully mine," George chanted. He could sense the Sundial, just no idea where it was.
"That's the fifteenth spell, you've cast George, with the Amulet of Amara, Parker is stronger than Wyatt ever was. Whatever cloaking spell, Parker used can't be broken without equal strength or more," Bianca pointed out.
"Besides from the Power of Three, what force is there?" George asked.
"Right now, nothing," Bianca answered.
"So, we keep hiding until we die," George huffed.
"No, if I know battle strategy and I know it well, they will want me and Chris powerless. So, that they could take you without having to face anyone. Parker's sisters might join her side to not break up their sisterhood. They were always as thick as thieves. Paige's kids, they might just try and remain neutral in all of this," Bianca says.
"I'm starting to miss being an only child," George sighed.
"Everyone's destiny has its bad parts. Some people's destinies hold more good than bad sadly," Bianca replies.
"For a brief moment, when we had the pieces of the Sundial, I thought things were actually going our way. That we were closer to having everything sorted. Things could be normal again. But I now realise things will never be normal, they never really were, to begin with," George said.
"Normal is a loose term," Bianca says.
"If the amulet of Amara gave Parker the major power boost without it wouldn't she go back to her original strength?" George asks.
"Yes, she wouldn't be able to conjure hellfire or block our attacks, it would make it easier to save Elijah. And in theory, we could use its magic, to locate the restored Sundial. There is now just the matter of getting close enough to get it without being incinerated," Bianca answered.
