"I do not fear you, girl." Spike's voice silkily flowed into Willows blood and she was lifted into the air, her chest pulled forward as if on a string.

"Rather, you should fear me." He whispered, cutting a slit down her chest. The blouse she barely wore, fell to her right shoulder. As blood seeped from the cut, Spike sunk his hand into her chest.

"GIO OMAL BR-AAAHHHH!" The pain was like nothing she had felt before. It consumed her entirely and her words were lost in screams of agony. Deep inside her mind, she spat venom onto the man before her, but she had no control over his actions. His superiority was undeniable, but he was not her master yet. She would play by his rules, gain strength. Gio had only allowed her to evoke weak black magic powers against Spike for fear that Envai would become involved. However, Gio was changing his mind. Being under neither black nor white magic control, Gio Omal had been working on drawing strength from both black and white magic powers in order to use the two forces as one conquering force. So Willow did not worry.

Her master whispered to her at night.

He touched her gently where that beast had slain her.

Gio had a passion that was equivalent to the thirst inside of her.

He promised.

It would not be long before he would come for her in full force.

Then the world would pay for its cruelty.

He promised.

Spike washed his hands clear of the silver blood coating them. Another long attempt at purifying Willow's soul. Nothing he had done had caused significant difference. With Ferro's help, Spike could only hinder her descent – or was it ascent- into evil? The vampire was considering evoking higher powers to control the girl. Gio Omal was unreliable. With both black and white magic within his one power, Gio had always been an outcast, more accepted in the black side, but still not fully trusted.

"Escalio Poerfentie, Deygo Omal. I command your presence."

The room filled with a light green haze at Spike's words.

"The mortal realm, William? This place is still in its 2002nd year. I would have thought a creature of your calibre would be in search of more amusing locations."

"Deygo, the formalities aside, you know of my reason for calling upon you."

The power, only a green haze, seemed almost to sigh at that.

"Indeed I do, William. The mortal witch. Far too deep, I don't see how we could have missed the power build up. It's unnatural! But Gio…well, we all know how hard it is to trace his work. We are all worried William; there is talk of a new power within Gio's grasp. A power that would surpass that of both Masteress Envai and Masteress Opna. A mixture of white and black magic."

"Impossible, the two would be at constant rage, they are naturally unable to co-exist."

"Which is how they are so powerful together. By harnessing their combined, resistance (against each other), they create a huge force of energy… It's hard to fully understand the details William, but its bad."

Spike, shook his head.  Deygo continued.

"Masteress Envai wants this witch out of the picture, Gio could use her as a valuable tool and we can not allow any such opportunity to arise. If need be, she will have to be…"

Spike looked up sharply. "No."

"William, it is not your choice to make. If you cannot purify her soul, in the very near future, I fear that her soul will have to be banished to eternal unrest in order to defeat Gio. Masteress Envai believes that Gio may be using her, as storage for the power that he is absorbing and reacting to eventually kill her and release the power… it is all unclear. Masteress Opna is even willing to meet with Masteress Envai in order to defeat Gio. Masteress Opna does not want to be surpassed either. The natural balance is at stake, William. If we did not banish her soul, she would be destroyed anyway, and she would take the dimensions of all universes with her."

William shook his head, perplexed at this new information. "Give me time… I will purify her soul."

"How?"

"I will start by evoking you, then I will move upwards slowly. Before evoking Masteress Envai, I will use my own power combined with all powers from Henyo to Ferro. If that does not succeed…then I will ask to evoke Masteress Envai."

"As you wish, William."
