Inside the shack in the middle of the dark woods, a large cauldron rested on top of a fire. Within the cauldron a purple liquid boiled and bubbled as a sweet scented vapors came out of the mixture. A wooden spoon was plunged into the strange stew and began to stir the contents of the stew with swift spiraling movements.

The spoon was then lifted by a tanned hand up to the cook's mouth. She took a deep in hale of the spoon's contents before swallowing it with ease.

"Mmm, not bad," the woman said with a smile on her face. "This recipe is sure to get a kick out of the girls in the next convention."

The woman stood back up and now had a good looking appearance. She had tanned colored skin, short black hair that sprung upwards at the tips and small fangs on her teeth. She had brown eyes that shun with a mischievous glint to them. She wore a long black dress with open sleeves that resembled wings that hugged her curvy body like a second skin, a green shirt on top of her dress, a pair of black boots and a green hood on top of her head making it look like she was wearing a strange cap.

"Now, if only I had a nice stud to try this out," the woman said with a chuckle. "Sadly none would walk into this forest unless they were drunk or high."

A series of loud knocks on the door caught the woman's attention.

"Huh, wonder who could that be at this hour," the woman said as she headed to answer the call. "I'm coming already! Keep your damn panties in your pants."

The woman opened the door to a blond menace jumping at her face.

"JANNA!" Star screamed as she hugged and jumped above the downed witch now named Janna. "What's up my witch!"

The annoyance left Janna's face as it was replaced with a mischievous smile and laughter.

"Star Butterfly," Janna said as she got back to her feet. "What is the most rebellious and chaotic princess of the Fablefolk doing in my neck of the woods? Wanna party? Or dabble with some dark stuff?"

"Oh, girl you know how to make my bad girl bones ache," Star said. "I'm so down for those things."

"Um, excuse me," a voice called from behind, getting the attention of both Star and Janna.

At the entrance of the house were both Adam and Jackie with slightly confused looks on their faces.

"Sorry to interrupt your reunion, but may we come inside?" Adam asked while doing his best to hide his sword. "It is a little creepy at this time of night."

Janna was slightly taken aback by the appearance of both a mermaid and a human.

"Yeah, sure," Janna said. "Hey, Star who are these two?"

"Oh, long story short, the human and I are bonded against our will and the mermaid is cool hanging out with us," Star attempted to explain.

"You guys ain't vampires, are you?" Janna asked, looking at the two visitors.

"What? No way girl," Jackie replied. "This is all mermaid you're looking at."

"Then come on in," Janna said. "You're just in time for dinner."

"Thank you, my name is Adam Lakestone and this here is Jackielinda Thomas Lynn," Adam introduced himself and his friend.

"Hello there," Jackie said. "You can call me Jackie if you want."

"Nice to meet you," Janna said as she eyed Adam up and down before sensually licking her lips.

Adam stepped back, feeling a little uncomfortable by the way that Janna was looking at him. Part of him wanted to get away from her, but he knew that they needed her help. If she could undo the bonding and then she could read the notes on the two books and find out who wrote the two editions. So, for the time being, he would stay in the odd house and support her undressing him with her eyes.

"We need your help, Ms. Janna," Adam said softly and with great respect. "I hope we are not intruding."

"If you come a knocking, handsome, I won't turn you away," Janna replied as she scratched Adam under his chin. "What can I do for you?"

Jackie pouted at the sight of Janna scratching and flirting with Adam. She was very tempted to drop a bucket of water on the witch when she saw the blush on Adam's face.

"Well, um, you see..." Adam stuttered as he tried to get his head straight.

"This dumb dumb messed up a bonding spell and we need your help breaking it," Star cut him off.

"I messed it up?" Adam snapped at Star.

"Yeah, that's what I said," Star said with a smug face. "Do you think you can fix it, Janna?"

Janna looked up in thought.

"I'm gonna need to see what I'm working with," Janna said.

A smile crept on Adam's face. He wasn't a fan of using the bonding spell, but it was the only way to get Star to listen to him.

"Star Butterfly, tell Janna what really happened and how we got in this situation," Adam commanded before waving his hand. "And be sure to tell the truth."

The red tattoo on Adam's wrist glowed, signaling the command to Star's end.

A red aura enveloped Star, she stiffen before she began to speak.

"After sneaking out of the castle, I arrived at the human city of Echo Creek and attacked priests, knights and civilians alike in rage of them speaking their version of the Godspell of Glossaryck," Star automatically said. "When Adam tried to get me out of the city, he didn't listen to my commands and I used the Super Red Ribbon spell on him. But it bounced and struck me instead."

"Alright, now jump up and down on one leg," Adam commanded before waving his hand.

"You are so dead," Star threatened as she jumped up and down on one leg. "I'll turn you into a toad-squirrel for this."

"You cannot harm me with magic," Adam replied waving his hand. "Now or ever,"

"Damn you," Star groaned, as the bonding bound her to the command.

Adam turned to Janna who was laughing along with Jackie at the commands that he was doing.

"That's basically the situation that we're in." Adam said. "Can you help us with it?"

"Yeah, I think I can do something about your little problem," janna said before walking to her table.

Janna's table was filled with bottled potions, ingredients, small animal bones, candles, and a big black book with a skull on the cover. She opened the book and flipped the pages until she found the illustration of a broken heart. She smiled before she grabbed hold of the different ingredients she needed. Janna placed a bowl in front of herself and then looked at the book.

"Alright, let's dance," Janna said before popping the cork of one of her beakers.

Janna traced a circle in midair, creating a yellow circle and within it there was a laughing skull with two bananas crossing behind it with runes around it. From the magical circle music began playing.

"A spoonful of rosebud dust," Janna said before pouring the rosebud dust into the bowl.

Janna then grabbed hold of a beaker filled with a purple liquid.

"A drop of blood of a three-headed goat," Janna counted as the drop of blood collided with the dust.

A small puff of pink colored smoke came from the bowl before Janna grabbed hold of a green egg the size of her hand.

"A whole lake leviathan egg," Janna said before cracking it and pouring the green yolk into the bowl. "Followed by six seeds of Lover's Passion Fruit."

Janna counted the seeds before dropping them into the bowl. She then began to stir the contents of the bowl with a wooden spoon.

Adam peaked over Janna's shoulder with curiosity, but his sight was slightly covered by Janna's breasts.

"They look better from the front, honey," Janna teased.

"Sorry, I was just curious about the potion you're making," Adam blushed.

"It's cool, you're at that age," Janna said licking her lips. "Now for the spell."

Janna pulled the wooden spoon out of the bowl before she created another magical circle above the bowl.

"I make a deal, a bind to heart. Now a done deal, make the line part. No thread to claim, now lives free aim," Janna conjured up as the liquid inside the bowl turned light blue.

Once the spell was casted the music stopped and Janna picked up the bowl and turned to face Adam and Star.

"Alright kids, let's destroy your feelings," Janna said.

"The only feelings that Star has for me are contempt and dislike," Adam replied. "Doubt this'll improve them."

"Or maybe it could make you guys like each other better," Jackie suggested. "Always look on the positive possibilities," She shrugged off while smiling.

"That's more like it, honey," Janna winked at Jackie before turning to Adam and Star. "Alright you two, I need you both to stand in front of one another," She instructed before dipping two fingers into the bowl.

Adam and Star stood in front of each other as Janna stood in-between them.

"Hands with the marks front and center," Janna said and the two young adults did as told.

Janna pulled out her two fingers, covered with the blue slimy concoction. She then spread the potion on the markings on their respective wrists until they were completely covered with the blue potion. Once the marks had been completely covered thy began to shine brightly and then a red thread connected the two marks.

"Wow, that's pretty," Adam said. "So this is magic. It's amazing."

"Flattery will get you everywhere, sweet thing," Janna said. "Now, we will just cut this thing and it'll all be over. Understood?"

"Yes, get it over with!" Star demanded.

Janna stuck her right hand into her left sleeve. She rummaged through the sleeve until she found the thing she was looking for. She pulled out her hand along with a black dagger. The dagger's blade was onyx black, the handle was made out of red colored wood, and a skull on the pummel.

"Alright, take a step back," Janna instructed.

Adam and Star took a step backwards.

"Um, Jackie, you might want to duck," Adam said over his shoulder.

"Thanks, I'll do that," Jackie said before moving behind the couch.

Adam was almost sure that something was going to send him flying backwards. While Star felt like getting this over with as quickly as possible.

Janna lifted the dagger up above her head. The dagger was lit by blue fire.

"1... 2... 3!" Janna said before swinging down the dagger.

The dagger struck the thread, pulling it down unable to cut it. The blue flames around the dagger clashed with the red thread before circling around the point of impact before expanding into a shockwave.

Adam, Janna and Star were sent flying backwards to the floor of the house.

The entire house was as silent as a graveyard for a full minute.

"Welp, that didn't work," Janna groaned as she got out from where she had flown off to.

"Are you guys alright?" Jackie asked before checking on Adam.

"I'll live," Adam said before cracking his neck. "Why didn't the ritual work? I thought you could cut it," He said before getting back to his feet.

"I thought so too," Janna replied. "It would appear that the bonding spell is pretty powerful since it was casted by Star-who is a highly powerful princess of the Fablefolk. Which means that only someone with equal or greater power can break it. Also it appears that it'll keep you guys close by so just moving away won't solve a thing," She explained as she pulled out a wooden cup and poured a hot drink.

"What? I can't get rid of this wet blanket?!" Star asked indignantly. "Dang it."

"The feeling is mutual, princess," Adam replied with displeasure.

"Well, there's another way of breaking the bond, but I wouldn't recommend it," Janna said, scratching her chin.

"There is?" both Adam and Star asked.

Janna looked between each of them, unsure of whether telling them or not. She took a drink from her drink to keep herself lucid and easy to talk.

"Alright, you can break the bond by dying," Janna said. "But it's up to you if you use it or not."

Adam and Star went wide eyes at the sound of the secondary option. The prospect of them getting rid of the bonding did

"Yeah, we'll look for another thing to get this thing off," Adam said before he turned to Janna once more. "Ms. Janna-

"Call me Janna, honey," Janna said before putting her cup down. "No need to be fancy in my house."

"Janna, I know that Star said we needed your help with the bonding, but I'd also ask for your help on something else," Adam said.

A mischievous smile appeared on Janna's face. She walked up to Adam, eyeing him like a cat would a mouse. Her mind began to drift to some very lecherous thoughts. She had been living on her own for some time now, without the company of someone to scratch her itches. Both figurative and literal. If Adam was going to ask her for something, maybe she could ask for something in return. But she had to play it cool.

"What can I do you for?" Janna asked as a blush crept on her face.

Adam reached into his bag and pulled out the two versions of the Gospel of Glossaryck.

"There are notes in these two books, but they are written in a language that only a witch can read," Adam explained, showing Janna the books. "We were hoping that you could translate them,"

Janna's interest was now peaked, but she needed to ask one little question before setting her terms.

"Interesting, but why should I translate the notes?" Janna asked. "For all I know, these are instructions on how to cook witches. What do you gain from all this?"

Adam looked down in slight shame.

"I messed up, big time. I brought Star into the city and chaos ensued," Adam explained. "Now, armies of both man and Fablefolk are reading for battle. War is going to happen, and most of it has been done because of years of lies and manipulation by the people that wrote these books. Maybe we can stop it by finding out why they were made."

Janna was slightly intrigued. This could be something worth looking into. And something that could really entertain herself.

"Tell you what, you guys spend the night here, and I'll use the night to think about it," Janna said. "Deal?"

Adam looked at his companions, after days of sleeping in the forest with an eye open, sleeping inside a house might be a good change of pace. Also with the sound of thunder and rain coming from the outside were good advocates to sleeping inside.

"I think it'll be a good thing for us to rest here tonight," Adam said with Jackie and Star nodding in agreement.

"Alright, that settles it. You'll stay here for the night," Janna said. "Just one more thing."

Janna lifted her hand and drew another circle in the air.

Adam's sword was pulled away from him before it landed on Janna's hand.

"You're my guests here, you won't receive anything bad from me, but you have to abide by my rules," Janna said holding the sword by the scabbard. "That means no weapons for killing in the night."

"Oh, like the Tragedy of McDuncan," Jackie said with a little cheer.

"Yep, so I'll keep this sword until the morning," Janna said. "Now. follow me to your rooms, if you will," She said, causing Adam to stiffen a bit.

"Oh yeah, sleepover!" Star said bouncing after Janna.

Jackie placed a hand on Adam's shoulder, trying to calm him down with a smile.

Adam smiled back before they followed Janna to their rooms for the night.


Far away from the house where Adam and the others were staying, in the castle of the Butterfly dynasty, Moon Butterfly had gathered her generals in the war room. War was inevitable and she knew it, so they would need to prepare. In the map of the land that laid in the middle of the room, everyone was waiting for Queen Moon's words.

"Our scouts have informed us that the armies of the Children of Man have gathered at the front of the city of Echo Creek while leaving some soldiers to protect the other cities," one of the generals explained.

"Yes, since Echo Creek is the closest settlement to our borders it would be the best place to gather the armies," Moon surmised. "Not to mention it is the headquarters of the cursed Warriors of the Sun."

"We should gather our armies near the border of our territory and face them on a full frontal assault," Another general suggested.

"If we do that it'll be a massacre," Moon shot back. "We'll take them with our ranged weapons, cutting as many as we can while using the forest as cover. Once their numbers are cut back we'll cast illusions to distract them, then we will charge with all our might."

"Huzzah! You heard our Queen Moon, men, prepare your armies! Dwarves, and satyrs in front with me, elves in the middle and ogres and trolls in the back to crush anyone with their muscle," River ordered.

With that said, the generals walked out of the war room to make their preparations.

Moon looked at her husband in search of good news.

"Are there news about Star?" Moon asked.

"Sadly none at the moment, my dear," River replied. "I know that Kelly is closing in but she hasn't get her yet. But you shouldn't worry, our daughter is well prepared and powerful enough to face against any depravity that that human can throw at her."

Moon could only look at her husband with a dried look.

"River, our daughter is a walking catastrophe waiting to happen. She has no respect for the power that she uses and constantly goes after whatever tickles her fancy without much thought," Moon said.

"Oh, honey you're exaggerating. I'm willing to gamble my favorite hunting spear that at this very moment, Star is using magic with the outmost respect," River foolishly tempted fate.


Back in Janna's house, Star was laying on her back on top of one of the guest beds that Janna had pulled out from the ground like pumpkins, casting spells with the flick of her hand. She created a small flashing explosion in the shape of a kitten's face. She then casted another explosion in the shape of a cupcake, and then grabbed hold of a bag of corn chips, which she began to eat.

"I'm so bored," Star moaned.

"Well, maybe you should sleep," Adam replied while on his own bed. "Not everything is about a crazy adventure after another,"

"Party pooper," Star said before turning to Jackie who was reading a book that Janna had let her burrow. "So, mermaid. What did you used to do for fun before you met me?"

"Um, I mostly read and kept to swimming in the lake," Jackie said. "I was pretty focused on keeping the sword safe, you know how responsibility works."

Star groaned in irritation, which earned a curious look from both Adam and Jackie.

"What's wrong with what I did, I thought it was fun?" Jackie asked.

"No, it's that responsibility pain," Star said. "It takes out all the fun out of everything!"

"Well, it doesn't have to be fun. But we still have to do it," Adam said.

"I know mine wasn't up for debate but I still did it," Jackie shrugged before putting the book away.

"You guys are no fun, life is too short to be wasted in doing stuff like that," Star replied. "I'm a princess and I shouldn't be forced to deal with all that boring stuff. People should do what I told them without a second thought, and bow to my great mighty power."

"Something tells me that if this doesn't work, Star will declare war on someone one day," Jackie whispered to Adam.

"Yeah, scary," Adam replied. "Makes you wonder how there hasn't been an uprise,"

"Hey, what are you whispering about?" Star asked.

"Um, nothing... Go to sleep," Adam commanded with the bond.

Star's eyes quickly shut closed before she fell down and snored on top of her bed.

Adam and Jackie looked at each other as they waited. Wanting to make sure that Star was asleep. They both let out a sigh, relaxing for a minute.

"I probably shouldn't have done that," Adam said, looking at the mark on his wrist.

"It's not like you're telling her to sleep with you or do something against her will," Jackie replied. "Look, I know you're bummed out that the bonding wasn't severed and that we don't have a clear answer from Janna, but look on the bright side she hasn't tried to turn you into her guinea pig," She said as she sat cross legged on her bed.

"I guess, although I'm a bit uncomfortable because... Well, I've never had to share a room with a girl," Adam confessed, which caused Jackie to stifle a laugh. "Don't laugh, the last girl that was in my room kinda made me into a fugitive."

"No, it's just that I can't help it. How come you don't have a girlfriend?" Jackie asked. "You're good looking, brave, honest worker, funny, reliable, and you know how to read and write."

"Thanks, but the reason I don't have a girlfriend is because I've been... busy," Adam replied.

"With what?" Jackie asked.

"Helping my family, as the eldest son, I've been working with a forge ever since I was little. My dad would often tell me that like all Lakestones, "you've got a forge in your heart and a will to match it'," Adam laughed before he looked up out the window. "I wonder if they're ok. Hopefully they didn't get trouble."

Jackie gave him a sympathetic look before kissing his cheek.

"I'm sure that they're alright," Jackie said. "Now, get some shut eye. You'll need it for whatever crazy stuff happens tomorrow,"

Adam smiled at Jackie as he blushed by the kiss.

After their conversation, both Adam and Jackie laid on their respective beds. They closed their eyes and allowed themselves to fall into the arms of Morpheus.

Time passed as all Adam, Jackie and Star all were deeply asleep. They each were having their own pleasant dream that got them away from the troubles of the world. They were sleeping so deeply that none of them heard the door of the room being opened.

Janna entered the room, wearing nothing but her black nightgown. She walked up to Adam before she silently straddles his hips, making sure not to wake him.

"Time to see what you're really thinking, big boy," Janna whispered before tracing another magic circle on top of his head. "Let's have some grown up fun, lover," She said before she kissed Adam's lips.
