Later, Luz was sitting in her chair, looking into the fireplace. She watched the embers burn as she thought about what to do. Beside her, a plate was put on the small table.
"Hey, you missed dinner." Amity said.
"I don't care." Luz said.
"Luz, I know this is hard for you."
"No, you don't." Luz growled, "I spent a decade here, alone, with no one but her... now she's gone. Every time I get close with someone, Belos takes them from me!"
Amity grabbed Luz's hand.
"And we're going to fix that." Amity said, "We're going to march into that castle, kick Belos ass, and perform that spell. I told you, you aren't alone anymore, we're going to help you."
Luz felt other hands grab her other arm.
"We're with you, until the end." Willow said.
"Nothing will take us from you." Gus said.
Luz felt something wrap around her legs and saw King, now with the collar on.
"We'll stand by you." He said.
Amity moved Luz's head to look her in the eyes.
"You're not alone anymore." Amity said, "We're with you, every step of the way."
Luz looked down.
"Well... it will be nice to have one last adventure with my friends." Luz stood up, "Rest up, tomorrow we head for the castle."
Luz walked out to Blizzard's stable and closed the door behind her. She sat there and started to slow her breathing.
"Titan, I need to speak with you." Luz said.
In the castle, Belos watched as a couple guards came in.
"What is it?" Belos asked.
"Sir, the attack lead on the knee... none of the guards survived." A Guard said.
Belos actually managed to leave dents in his throne from his hands. Belos stood up and walked out of the room and down to the catacombs. He removed the sheet covering Eda.
"I must say, I have underestimated your apprentice, she is clearly as dangerous as you were, which means..." Belos leaned down and whispered in Eda's ear, "I'll enjoy it all that much more when I punish her."
"My Emperor?"
Belos stood up straight and turned around.
"Hello Lilith." He said, "You shouldn't be down here."
"T-t-the guards... they said you... you were angry, I... came to see what you..."
Lilith didn't know what to say, before her was the statue that used to be her sister. Belos took a step towards her, but Lilith took a step back.
"W-w-what did you do?" Lilith asked.
"What was necessary." Belos said.
Lilith turned to run, but she was held down by some kind of muddy arm that Belos made.
"I'm sorry, but I can't have you telling others, I've come too far." He said.
He had the arms move Lilith so she could look at her sister.
"Take a good long look, Lilith." Belos said.
He put his hands on each side of her head, tears running down her face.
"I'm sorry, Edalyn."
Belos quickly moved Lilith's head, the loud snap of Lilith's neck filled the room. The arms disappear and Lilith's body hit the floor with a thud. Belos stepped over her body and walked up the stairs.
