Here's the next chapter for your reading enjoyment. At least, I hope so.

Steve-O, I'll just have to lend you the books so you can read about some of my favorite characters. And we don't ask you that everyday, more like every other day... Heehee

Red, I love Eddings works too. I swear, I think I'm going to try and turn my other readers into Eddings fans just so it increases the chance of more crossovers being written. And the only way I could have made the story even better was to include Talen and Silk or Lelldorin and Kalten. Could you just see the trouble they'd get in together. Hee hee... Maybe I should be quiet, I'm giving myself ideas.

Mac, thanks for your review! Although I'm not sure if I'm a genius or not.

Chapter Two

Restrictions

"Do you think we're crazy?" Buffy asked. "Using the key? That would be signing everybody's death sentence."

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked curiously.

"The key's power can't exactly be controlled," Willow said. "If we activated the key it would break down the dimensional barriers between all the worlds. Literally every dimension would fall upon itself and unleash hell everywhere."

"Not to mention it requires me dying," Dawn said. "See, still alive so no key usage."
"Then, neighbor, how did we get here?" Sparhawk asked as he shifted slightly, causing his black armor to creak.

"I kinda did this spell, and I honestly didn't think it would bring us here. I had a totally different idea of what it was suppose to do. It wasn't suppose to bring all of you people, it was suppose to do something else entirely - at least I think it was."

Buffy smirked at Dawn. "Got to love the Willow babble."

"You think it was suppose to do something different?" Belgarath sputtered. "What are you? Some sort of amateur?"

Willow's eyes narrowed and her pitch dropped. "I am not and amateur, old man."
"Uh oh," Dawn said softly.

"Only an amateur would cast a spell not fully sure of what it would do."

The redhead's eyes turned black. "Listen here, mister. I'll have you know that I had researched this spell very carefully," she said as she began walking menacingly towards him.

Buffy reached out and grabbed her friend's arm, but Willow easily shook her off.

"I'm not going to hurt him," Willow said coldly.

"Then you really are an amateur if you think you could hurt me," Belgarath said.

"Oh, shouldn't have said that," Dawn whispered as a wind picked up around Willow and her hair turned black.

Then just as suddenly the wind died and she slumped to the ground. The black bled out of her hair, returning it to its original color.

"What the hell just happened?" Draco yelled. "That was dark magic!"

"Well you would know seeing as how you use it," Harry said darkly.

"I have never used dark magic, Potter. And I swear, if you insinuate that one more time I'll.."

"You'll what?" Harry asked, standing nose to nose with his rival. "Hex me into oblivion?"
"No, I'll just punch you."
"Could you two please deal with your trauma later?" Dawn asked from the ground where she sat with Buffy and Willow.

"But the lad has a point," Aragorn said. "What just happened?"

Buffy sighed. "Last year Willow was delving into her magicks too quickly and too deeply, and she lost control. Then she was getting better, but her girlfriend, Tara, was killed right in front of her and she completely lost it. The dark magic took control and she killed the man who shot Tara."

"What wasn't she arrested?" Hermione asked.

"The police would never have been able to stop her. I couldn't even stop her, she was too powerful. She even went so far as to try and end our world."

They all gasped.

"I take it she didn't succeed," Belgarath said.

"She almost did, but a friend of ours was able to talk her down. Since then she was taken to a coven of witches and taught how to control her magic, but it still gets away from her at times."
"Why didn't she stop using magic entirely?" Garion asked.

"She tried, but it's impossible," Dawn said softly as she brushed Willow's hair off her forehead. "The magic is a part of her. To deny her magic is to deny a piece of herself. And in the end it would only make her worse."
"Is she ok?" Hermione asked as she approached the three women on the ground.

"I think so," Buffy answered. "I've just never seen her get drained that quickly before. It might have something to do with the dimension we're in."
"Can you explain what happened?" Belgarath asked.

"I'll try, but I'm not familiar with how magic works, I just know it does," Buffy said. "Remember how I said we're fighting this unstoppable evil? We thought if we pulled all the warriors for the light in our world together that maybe all of us could beat it. We honestly didn't think that it would pull us and others into another dimension. We're really sorry about this. But magic does have a tendency to go wonky on the hellmouth."
"Oh, that hurts," Willow whimpered as she opened her eyes. "I didn't hurt anybody, did I?" She asked as she looked up at Buffy.

"No, we're all still in one piece," the slayer said with a smile. "See, no injuries."
Willow looked at Belgarath. "I'm sorry," she said with a grimace. "My emotions get away from me sometimes." The old man just nodded his head.

"What happened, thought?" Buffy asked. "I've never seen your powers drained like that before."
"I don't know," Willow said. "I couldn't sustain my powers. It was like something was siphoning them off."

"What do you mean?"

"Something was keeping my power level in check." She looked around at the others. "Can any of you use your powers? Try something simple first, and then something complicated."

Hermione shrugged and pulled out her wand.

"I don't think so, mudblood. You should probably let a pureblood try first."

She just glared at Draco and said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" The blond lifted into the air. "Seems to be working fine for me," she said smugly as she unceremoniously dropped him to the ground. "Harry, why don't you try your Patronus."

Harry pulled out his wand and said, "Expecto Patronum!" But only a silvery wisp came out of the tip of his wand.

"Ha! See, Potter. I knew you couldn't do that spell."
The raven-haired boy just rolled his eyes. "Malfoy, I've done that spell a hundred times and I'm not arguing with you about this again. I felt the power build and release, but something blocked the spell."
Willow looked over at Garion and Belgarath.

"I'll go first," Garion said. And the next thing they knew, a wolf was standing in his place. Then just as suddenly, Garion was back.

"That was amazing," Willow said with wide eyes.

"Well, that went smoothly," Garion said before turning to look at the old man. "Grandpa?"

Belgarath turned around and looked towards the forest. Willow didn't quite hear what he said but all that happened was a slight fizzle in his hand. "I can't use a destructive power."
"We're next," Aphrael said, looking up at Sparhawk.

Sparhawk began chanting in a strange language and weaving his hands in a specific pattern. He stopped and shrugged. "The summoning spell works."
"What did you summon," Buffy asked, looking around.

"Aphrael's presence in my mind. It's a way for knights to communicate across great distances."

The small goddess scrunched up her face as she tried to figure out a complicated spell for herself to do. She looked up and said sweetly, "Can you all please turn around and not watch."
They all looked at her strangely.

"I have to turn back into my original form to do this, and it's rather embarrassing. So please just turn around."
Sparhawk looked meaningful al them all. "She gets a little sensitive about it. It's best if we just turn around and let her be."
Everyone shrugged and did as they were asked. They could feel something shimmering behind them.

"Alright, you can turn around," she said sourly after a moment.

"What did you try to do?" Hermione asked.

"I tried to split into two people, I couldn't."
"You can do that?" Dawn asked.

"Well, I am a goddess," the little girl said smugly.

Willow looked over at Aragorn and Legolas.

"While magic exists in our world, we can't perform it," Aragorn said.

"This is a problem," Willow said as she rubbed her temples in effort to lessen her headache.

"What is?" Buffy asked.

"If we can't do the more complicated spells, then I can't get us back. We're stuck here."
