Wow. I just realized-- I haven't updated this in like, a year. So, here is the next chapter. Oh, and by the way, Tiger can't do the disclaimer anymore-- he died a few months a ago. Tear
Disclaimer: I don't own Avalon.
"Hello," The Spider Witch hissed.
Adriane didn't wait for formalities-- she just attacked. Golden fire whipped around her ead like a lasso. Kara added the magic of her unicorn horn, silver light streaming from it and colliding with the gold. Adriane sent the burst of magic into the Witch, knocking her down. She got up and retalliated by sending green magic into the mages, but Adriane put up a shield of gold to protect them.
"Anna! Caitlin!" Emily cried, "Where are you?"
"Over here!" Anna's voice sounded from--somewhere. Then Emily noticed a very faint fog and knew that Starsweeper, Moonglow and Dreamer were covering for them. Now she could focus on fighting. She produced a ball of blue-green magic and threw it towards the Spider Witch. Lyra was by Kara's side now, and leapt at her. Unaware of the big cat's attack, the Spider Witch fell over and couldn't get back up. Lyra, along with help from Emily, Adriane, and Kara, fought with the Spider Witch long and hard. The Spider Witch knew she was losing, and had the sense to admit it.
"Alright!" She yelled. She struggled with Lyra for a little while longer. "I give up!"
Lyra sprang off of her adversary. The mages stopped pelting her with their magic momentarily, although they didn't let their guard down.
"Mages," The Spider Witch's long, greasy hair was a mess and her clothes were torn and tattered, "you have won. For now. But, when you least expect me, I will be waiting. And I will pick you off, one. By. One."
With that, the Witch disappeared in a cloud of green smoke. Starsweeper, Moonglow and Dreamer took their solid shapes again, and Anna and Caitlin were now visible.
"Healer," Starsweeper began, "You helped me, but I must ask one more favor from you."
"Anything," Emily said.
"Take me to the portal at Ravenswood. Moonglow and I can pick up three years later, I think."
"Okay, but we leave in a few days."
"That's alright. Moonglow and I can stay in these woods for a while. When you get on your plane, we will turn to mist and ride with you girls that way." Starsweeper replied.
Four days later, Emily hugged Anna, then Caitlin. "I hope to see you soon," She told them.
Adriane, Kara and Emily boarded the plane. Dreamer and Lyra were underneath their feet, Ozzie was sleeping in Emily's lap, and Starsweeper and Moonglow were the thin mist that floated inside the plane. They were on their way home to Ravenswood.
"Bye, Starsweeper, Moonglow," Emily called as the mistwolves stepped through the portal where Moonshadow and the rest of the mistwolf pack were waiting.
"Thank you, Emily," Starsweeper whispered.
"Oh!" Moonglow shouted, before the portal closed, "We forgot to tell you-- Starsweeper is going to have pups!"
"That's wonderful!" Kara laughed.
Months later, the mages recieved exciting news. Starsweeper's pups had been born, and they were three healthy wolves-- two girls and a boy. Their names were to be Starlight, Blackwhisker and Ambereye. As in most stories, this one has an "all's well that ends well" ending-- and everyone couldn't be happier.
Finally, that's done. Please review, people!
