Rushing around the office, Luz checked every drawer and cabinet for the old wallet before she eventually found it in the bottom right drawer of a desk.
"Got it. Hang on, Mr. Triplet, we'll know where you are soon." Luz said as she grabbed the wallet and closed the drawer.
She returned to Amity.
"Alright, Lilith is coming."
"Great." Amity said before noticing the old wallet in her hand. "What's with that?"
"She said that in order for the Scrying spell to work, we needed a personal item of Mr. Triplet's. This old wallet is perfect." Luz said to Amity.
"Well, she knows potions more than anyone else."
Turning around, Luz and Amity saw that Boscha was out of the bathroom. She must've heard the plan as she was looking much happier than earlier.
"Maybe don't talk out loud in my house." Boscha said, "Because I can hear this."
"Right." Luz said with a small chuckle.
"Now, about this Scrying Spell." Boscha said with interest.
"Lilith is on the way with all the ingredients, all we need is your dad's old wallet right here." Luz said as she held up the item.
Boscha walked up to them and gave them each a kiss.
"No more secrets." Boscha said, "This is my family, which means I need to be involved."
"We know." Amity said with a nod.
"Good, now let's get a cauldron out." Boscha said.
The trio nodded as they went downstairs to grab a cauldron, confusing Elizabeth.
"Girls, what is going on?" She asked.
"Ms. Lilith is coming over with ingredients for a Scrying Spell so we can find dad." Boscha said quickly as they moved the cauldron to the den.
Elizabeth wanted to help, but she was horrible with Potions, that's why she moved to the Construction Track.
"Find him, girls." She said.
"We will, Mom." Boscha said as she hugged her mother. "I promise we will."
Elizabeth heard a knock on the door and went to open it. That's when she saw Lilith.
"Hello, Lilith." Elizabeth said, "How's my old friend?"
"I am well, all things considered but I am much better than I previously was." Lilith said with a smile.
Despite being coven leader from the Emperor's Coven, Lilith did a lot of things she wasn't proud of. Cursing Eda and hunting her for decades was two of the biggest ones but now, half cursed and almost magicless, she was strangely at peace with herself.
"You should be able to find the girls." Elizabeth said.
"I assume I should follow the destruction Luz causes." Lilith said.
"What do yo-" Elizabeth stopped talked as a loud BOOM was heard den.
"Sorry! Bookcase fell!" Luz said as she began fixing it.
"Now I understand. They're in the den." Elizabeth said, "This is my future daughter in law? Oh my checkbook is going to take a hit."
Lilith patted her shoulder in sympathy before she headed towards the den with the ingredients tucked safely in her satchel bag.
"Alright, I'm here and I have all the ingredients." Lilith said.
"Good, we have what we need." Luz said.
"Alright, now... hold on, it's catching up to me, are you three dating?" Lilith asked.
"We were on the news." Amity said.
"I have... been away with dad for a while, we only got back yesterday." Lilith said.
"A little road trip to rekindle the father daughter relationship?" Luz asked as Lilith set out the ingredients on the coffee table.
"In a way, yes. And it was nice to catch up after so many years apart." Lilith said.
"Can we PLEASE save the father daughter relationship talk for after we find MY father?" Boscha asked kindly.
"Right! Right, let's do this." Luz said.
The group worked together to make the Scrying Spell and followed Lilith's instructions to the letter! Even the slightest screwup could ruin it all, so Luz was EXTRA careful!
"Now, for the final ingredient." Lilith said, "Luz, put the wallet in."
Luz dropped the wallet in and they began to watch it. They saw the brew swirl itself as an image came to be, slowly becoming Marcus as he was on the floor of a cell unconscious!
"Dad!" Boscha screamed, grabbing the rim of the caldron.
"Be careful, Boscha. If you disturbed the mixture, the image will not be as clear." Lilith said.
"Well, it's time to wake up, Brother." Cera said, "I'm ready for our game to continue."
The group watched, one of them gasping, as another triclops came into the room and roughly grabbed Marcy by his shirt and shook him awake.
"Who is that?" Amity asked, flinching as the woman slapped Marcus awake.
"Cera, the black sheep of the triplet family." Lilith said, drawing their attention. "If you didn't know Boscha, she's your father's older sister and was a rather cruel, psychotic girl in our youth. Seems that hasn't changed."
"You mean my own aunt kidnapped my dad?!" Boscha asked in shock.
"It would appear so but the question remains why? None of us have heard from her since her graduation. Cruel and unhinged as she is, Cera is a skilled witch." Lilith said with a glare at Cera.
"Is there any way to find out where they are?" Luz asked, putting her watch on.
"We'll just have to wait and listen or see anything that can give us a clue." Lilith said as Cera slapped Marcus a few more times.
"Mmmmm." He groaned, slowly opened his eyes and seeing Cera's face.
"Marcus! So glad you can join me in the land of the living. I assume after a good night's rest, you're ready to talk?" Cera asked with a "kind" smile.
"Guh….Yes, I am." He said before taking a breath. "If you're the best his majesty seeks to let into his coven, then I pity him. Edalyn had the right idea of becoming a wild witch of people like you can join this coven."
"She's in the emperor's coven?" Amity said in shock, they really are the enemy!
"And look where that got her! Cursed and magicless, Edalyn is nothing more than a magicless pest!" Cera shouted before slammed Marcus back into the chair. "One that I just might get rid of after dealing with you! Now tell me where our great something grandfather's journal is!"
"You know what you washed up whore? You can just suck my dick, because I'm not telling you!" He said.
She punched him.
"Fine, I'll go get the fun toys, those will make you talk."
He waited until she was gone and then started tapping his fingers in a rythm.
"Wait, I know that." Lilith said, "That's morse code."
Lilith listened and wrote it down.
"He's in a cave near the pelvis." Lilith said, "He must be good enough at potions that he knows we were listening."
Boscha pulled out her scroll and did a search for a map to the pelvis of the Titan.
"We can get there in 10 minutes by staff." Boscha said.
"Good, we're leaving now." Luz said.
"Wait, he's not done." Lilith said as she read more of the morse code. "Keep the journal safe, Boscha. Cera must NEVER get it."
"Boscha, stay here and protect the notes... just in case we don't come back." Luz said, "Amity, come on."
"Alright." Amity said with a nod.
"And you WILL come back. You have to." Boscha said before kissing both of them for luck.
"When have I ever broken a promise?" Luz asked.
The two gave her a look that said, 'You fucking serious'.
"Besides going to the Knee by myself." Luz continued.
"Your punishment was never finished for that, by the way, but if rescue my dad, it'll be completely void." Boscha said to Luz.
"I don't care if it's voided or not, I'm bringing him back either way." Luz said.
Amity and Luz ran out of the Manor and got on their staffs.
So, I got back... and the power was out because of a snow storm. So I don't have any chapters for anything else. Luckily, I have a few of these chapters stocked up. Follow, Favorite, and Review for more.
