At the Emperor's Castle, Lilith finished explaining the situation to Belos.

"So, he's hiding on the skull?" Belos asked, "We'll move on him immediately."

"No." Lilith said.

"What?"

"Firstly, they believe I'm dead, so if they find out I'm still alive, then on top of that, they will find out that Edalyn is a double agent. Secondly, the Golden Guard is still learning about his Bending, which I am going to ask about more at a later date. Lastly, you said he almost killed you before, you can't possibly think you'll be capable of even fighting him, let alone capturing him."

"You don't understand, Lilith. This is too important."

"Why?" Lilith asked.

"You don't need to know."

"The hell I don't. I have sacrificed so much for you. I have received scars all over my body, I have spent countless hours awake at night trying to capture the most dangerous criminals on the Isles, I have risked my life more than a thousand times for this Coven! So don't you dare say I don't need to know!" Lilith said, getting red from anger, "I was literally just murdered to get this information, so I think I can be let in on why this is important!"

"Because it's a family matter and you aren't family." Belos said, "I wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for your family."

Belos walked away and slammed the door behind him.

"That went better than expected." Hunter said.

"What did he mean about my family?" Lilith asked.

"Does the name Horace ring any bells?"

"You mean Horace Clawthorne? The only witch capable of creating portals?" Lilith asked.

"Yep, apparently, he brought the Emperor and his brother here about four hundred years ago." Hunter said, "He gave them the ability to do magic and then Caine went mad and killed Horace. So, yeah, your family kind of fucked up."

Lilith looked at the door, is that really true? If so, why did Belos allow the Clawthorne family to continue? Belos walked into his room and slammed his hands on a desk.

"Who does that bitch think she is? To demand I tell her about this family matter. I am the Emperor, I don't have to listen to anyone, I don't have to tell anyone."

Belos opened the desk and pulled out a picture. Whenever life gets too hard, he looks at it. It reminds him of a simpler time, a time before chaos and before he had magic. It was a picture he got from his memory's; him, Caine and Horace. Many would call him crazy, but Belos truly considered the Clawthorne a father figure after... after he lost his parents. They knew each other for a short time, but it was enough that there was a true family type bond between them.

"I could've saved you." Belos said, "I could've been the person you thought I could be. Philip died that day, but Belos was born. I use the power you gave me to keep him from destroying this world. I'm not going to fail you again, your family is safe, I'm keeping my promise until the day I die."

Belos felt tears run down his face and wiped them away. He put the photo back in his desk and sat in the chair.

"There's a battle coming, one that will determine the fate of the Isles forever." Belos said, looking out a window at the Skull, "I hope you're ready for it."

At the Skull, Caine was staring in the direction of the castle, he smirked knowing that his little brother was doing the same thing.

"I'm ready, Brother, but you won't when I get power that will rival the Avatar." Caine said, "Time to start getting the final ingredients."

In Luz's mind, Willow and Amity were walking until they found a room of statues in different stances with a different element attached to each statue.

"Wow, what is this place?" Willow asked.

"I don't know? Who are these people?" Amity asked, "Look at this one."

Amity pointed to a statue of a person that was dresses in Airbending attire and holding a staff. He was in an Airbending stance with air moving around him. Amity looked at the plaque on the statue base.

"Avatar Aang." Amity said, "This must have been previous Avatars."

Willow walked over a little and saw another statue.

"Well, I found Luz."

Amity walked over to Willow and saw Luz's statue, in a Firebending Stance with her signature blue fire in her hands.

"Wow." Amity said, blushing, "And I thought she couldn't get any hotter."

Amity thought she didn't say that out loud, but she did and Willow heard it.

"Come on, let's go." Willow said, "We need to figure out her problem."

The two walked out of the room. When they closed the door, Statue Luz's eyes started glowing.
