A/N: I will try to answer everyone's question as to why Phoebe and Piper followed Prue in this chapter. Prince Halliwell: The Conclusion is coming up next. As for a sequel, well you'll have to wait and see! Thanks to everyone who took time to review. I'm promise to return the favor by catching up on everything that I've missed.

Eternally Charmed: Halliwell Never After

Andy shielded Paige as tornado like winds started to surround them. Hiding her face behind his back Paige squeezed her eyes shut tightly, "I don't need your protection, what I need is MAGIC!"

"FORCEFIELD!" she shouted in hopes that somehow a spark of magic still lay deep inside her. When nothing happened, Paige gripped Andy's forearm holding on as tight as she could. The force of the wind was literally making her feel as if she was being ripped apart from her body.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US!"

"Your destiny is being recycled" the bearer of forbidden souls laughed as the magical duo started to become transparent.

"No" Paige whispered, this wasn't happening. Soft mewing words slowly began to form at the corners of her mouth as she felt herself being torn away from the magical life that she'd known. Flashes of meeting her sisters appeared in her mind, along with the faces of the all of the innocents she'd helped to save, the faces of the Angelic ones and finally Glenn.

Source's Lagoon

Prue swam fast and furiously, until she reached an underwater cavern known as the Source's lagoon. Phoebe and Piper followed. When the three mermaid sisters reached the surface of the pool Piper heaved in a mighty breath, gasping slightly. "Prue what are you doing?"

"She's trying to save our destiny without us without emotions, the high priestess should be magically unstoppable. " Phoebe replied clinging to the concrete side. "Becoming a mermaid was the only way she could keep her immortality and destroy Alyeia without feeling her lose."

Prue shot her younger sister a look, "you shouldn't have followed me, and this isn't your fight"

"The hell it isn't!" Piper snapped giving her big sister an equally heated look.

Prue ignored Piper's stare keeping her eyes on Phoebe.

"Prue destroying Alyeia isn't the way out this" Phoebe defended reading the oldest Halliwell's thoughts. Melinda had told them that Alyeia was the key to getting the Angelic ones back.

"Alyeia was born from evil" Prue retorted giving her tail a mighty slap against the water so that waves started to ripple. Natalie had told her that Alyeia was to become the new source. In her mind, she had to stop it.

"But she was also born of good" Phoebe reminded, "An angelic good"

Not allowing herself to think of Andy, Prue declined to answer. Her only thought was to stop the coronation. Somehow she suspected that Natalie's intentions of turning back weren't completely evil.

The sound of footsteps marching in precession stopped their conversation.

"Look" Piper whispered. From a distance, the three sisters could see the See'r carrying Alyeia towards the water with the Source and his loyal subjects following. The Source was dressed in his red winged cloaked, the others in hooded black.

"Hide, hide, hide!" Phoebe hushed, diving back under the water with Piper and Prue so that they could watch what was happening from just below the surface. Thankfully this part of the lagoon was shallow, yet dark enough that the sisters could settle towards the bottom without being seen.

Torches were lit as an ambassador to the Source shouted. "All Hail, Princess Ayleia!""Ayleia"

"Ayleia"

All took a knee as the See'r placed the half angelic infant on an altar. The babe fussed slightly as the cold granite seeped through her black christening gown.

"Ssh…ssh" The See'r commanded placing a finger to the child's lips. "This is your birth right" Alyeia hushed instantly with Phoebe growling furious from underneath the water.

"Her birthright is among, Angels"

The See'r then placed a crown of dark thorns around Ayleia's head. "Do you all swear alligence to our new Queen, and daughter of the darkness?"

"All Hail Princess Alyeia!" the ambassador shouted.

The crowed cheered for a moment until the Source raised a hand, silencing the crowd. "Anoint the her with the waters of darkness"

The See'r nodded and picked up a goblet, setting to the side of the altar and calmly water to the water's edge intent on filling the cup.

"Oh no you don't" Piper bristled from below.

As the See'r knelt she captured the faces of the three mer-witches in the reflection of her cup.

"THE CHARMED ONES!" she shouted just as Phoebe and Piper shot from the water pulling the See'r in.

Phoebe wrapped the See'r tight into a headlock pulling her beneath the water, embarking in an aquatic struggle. "You aren't taking my niece!"

Rising back to the surface Piper simultaneously shot blasts of water from her hands forcing the crowd back. Her new mermaid genetics enhanced her magically differently. "Okay, that's not what I was hoping for but I guess it works"

"Protect the child!" The Source bellowed right before disappearing into his flame.

"Coward" Piper snipped using her tail to create a huge wave as one of the hooded figures started towards Alyeia. The figure wavered slightly and then held out a hand, forcing the water back at Piper.

The mer-witch tumbled head over heels crashing into the side wall of the lagoon with such a force that fireworks exploded behind Piper's eyes, leaving her body to slump lifelessly back into the water.

"Piper!" Phoebe could only watch as Piper's body floated to the bottom continuing her struggle with the see'r. Seeing that the mer-witch was caught slightly off guard, the See'r managed to struggle enough to break Phoebe's grip allowing her hands to conjure an athame.

"Stupid witch who will save you now?"

Phoebe gasps taking in a water as the blade pieced through her abdomen and back. The See'r smiled watching the witches' body go taut then limp and finally joining her sister's body under the sea.

"NO!" Red Crimson colored the water around Prue forced as her body to astral protect into two separate beings. Her scream was so piercing that it was heard throughout the seven seas.

Astral Prue dressed in Angelic form appeared beside the altar opposite of the hooded figure.

"We meet again" The hooded figure smiled as she drew back her hood.

"Dantalian" Astral Prue snarled. But how? Dantalian was still the only creature who would destroy the angelic side of Prue.

"In a magical world anything is possible" A wet but vindictive See'r joined Dantalian.

"It certainly is" Prue returned quickly snatching Alyeia from the altar and astraling back into her mer-witch body.

"Destroy her quickly!"

"My pleasure" Dantalian grinned cocking her head as Prue's astral body joined the mermaid half.

"How quickly you forget" Dantalian raised her hand, pulling back the astral side of Prue. A flaming ball of fire then emerged in the dark priestess hand shooting straight at Prue, hitting it's astral target right through the heart.

The mer half of Prue felt searing pain and then degenerated into a pile of sea salt floating to the bottom of the sea to join the bodies of her sisters.

Dantalian and the See'r stood of the edge of the lagoon, each smiling with a hand on Alyeia. The See'r then knelt scooping a hand full of water into her palm. Rising to her feet she let the water drizzle onto Alyeia's forehead.

"Princess Ayleia, I officially crown you the new Queen and high Priestess of Darkness!"

Afterlife

Up in the heavens, Melinda stood in the center of Garden gazing into her all seeing fountain. Patty and Penny were with her all had tears drizzling down their cheeks. Their beloved Charmed Ones were gone.

Zola stood on the opposite side of the fountain. "There was nothing you could have done differently," he whispered, before leaving the matriarchs to grieve. It the greater good has suffered it's greatest lost yet. Evil had finally won.
