Chapter 6

Thoth floated through the busling English town as he followed Williams's essence. "How easily it will be to destroy the worthless human," He thought to himself. "Why had I not thought of this earlier? My Agrat could have been back by my side long ago." The closer he got to his destination the giddier Thoth began to feel. "Prepare to meet you maker!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Buffy and Spike rushed to set up the supplies they would need to destroy Thoth, while Ziva and Devon began to meditate. Anne on the other hand was panicking. "What are you two doing! You can't seriously be planning what I believe you to be planning! Do you want these children to orphaned! And the children! Get them to safety! William have you gone mad!"

The four of them ignored her babbling as they began to form a power circle. They stood in the four corners and chanted in the tongue of their ancestors. They asked for their blessing and the power to protect and demolish. Outside the widow the black turned to obis and a roar shook the house.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Thoth had reached his destination and was furious. He sensed the slayer and her annoying brats. How did they find out his plan? How was her supposed to eliminate William with them protecting him? He let out an impossibly vociferous roar. He could not win. He was still too weak. This was the end.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

As the spell neared it's end four balls of light floated over the groups head causing Anne to faint. Thoth appeared in the bedroom as the balls of light bound together and slammed into his heart. Buffy opened her eyes at the last moment to see Thoth contort in agony than calm suddenly. Looking into her eyes he said, "Thank you." Before Buffy could reply he disintegrated into microscopic particles and sunk into the floor. Buffy felt a sudden case of guilt as the room began to spin and the four of them disappeared out of space and time.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Thoth felt a warmth sheath him. It would be alright now. He would be with his Agrat for eternity. Suddenly he felt a downward pull and the flames envelop him. "AAAAAAAAAAA!" So shall his punishment be.
