Chapter 7: The Greater Evils

Down in the basement of the castle, Ariana, Lydia, Philippe and the most powerful man of all, Wizard Graftenshaft (graph-in-shaft). Along with Slyder, Nat, Pat, Matt and Brutus. Graftenshaft zapped the villains from there jail sells. He knew he was going to need help.

They were all trying to find a way to make sure they win this time. They were joining forces to insure that there plan was foolproof and could not be foiled. But it was no smooth sailing for them to get along. Each had there own view about what would word.

They were doing a lot of arguing about what they wanted to do. It was worse than a fight with a bunch of five-year-old kids at a kindergarten.

"I'm telling you, if we want to get ride of them for good I say we use weapons!" Philippe told Ariana and Lydia as they rolled there eyes.

"No, my dark magic will work better because it hasn't failed! And they only way its powerless is with them diamond necklaces and the muses instruments!" Lydia told him.

Philippe scoffed. "Seriously? Magic? Magic isn't going to help when you've got swords and daggers and so forth."

"Ah poison is way more efficient, like sunset herb, it makes them go to sleep and they they die from starvation. It's like killing two birds with one stone. And the only antidote is island roses, and glorious Prussia doesn't have any." Ariana told them with absolute confidence.

"But what happens if they do have the antidote?" Philippe asked crossing his arms.

"Then there's always plan B."

"And what per tell is plan B?"

"I still trying to figure out."

"Why don't you ladies just sing and you'll come up with something." Philippe scoffed and then laughed.

Both Lydia and Ariana looked at him. They didn't care too much for his comment about singing. It was something that they did. Even though he didn't sing, it didn't mean he had to be mean about it.

"Just because you don't sing, doesn't mean we can't, and won't." Lydia told him.

"Okay, so what do you expect us to do?" Philippe asked the women as they looked at one another.

"I'm still thinking and besides, we have yo use what we each know to defeat them." Ariana said.

"Yes, but we have to do something that they all can't defeat?" Lydia said.

"Oi." Graftenshaft sighed rubbing his temples. "Look, if we're going to defeat them, why don't we stop all this bantering and find a way, they're has got to be something that is their week spot."

"I agree, but what?" Asked Philippe, trying to hurt the ones they love don't work."

"And when they got there friends they team up too, so we need to find a way to weaken them all." The wizard told them standing up from his chair at the head of the table.

"Okay, how do you suggest we do that?" Lydia asked as the wizard shook his head.

"Over time, a matter of a few days, we will watch there every move and try and figure out there weaknesses."

"Okay, but I don't want to do a spur of the moment one, we have to have our plains together before the wedding!" Ariana told him.

"I agree, as much as I don't want this marriage to go through., we have to plain carefully to make sure our plains are foolproof!" The wizard told them though his teeth.

"Someone needs to relax." Philippe said as Graftenshaft smacked his hand on his forehead.

"Look, you all want to do it fast, well let me tell you, fast isn't always better. Do you think I have made it extremely hot outside all at once? No, I've taken my time, so when I get it at the one I want, I can change up the weather." Graftenshaft told them.

"Oh sure, but most the time faster is better, because they don't see it coming!" Philippe said.

"Okay, but we're going to have to decide in what to do?" The wizard said. "Lets take a vote, all in favor of waiting raise there hand?" He and Lydia raised they're hand. "Okay all in favor of going fast?" Ariana and Philippe raised they're hands.

"So what know, we're tied?" Lydia stated.

"Yes, that's what I looks like." Graftenshaft told.

"How are we going to break this stupid tie?' Philippe asked.

"Let me see..." Graftenshaft said going over to a book and looking though all the pages. "No ... no ... no ... no ... haha, but no ... no ... ah that's where that is ... no ... no ... no ... no ... no ... and no ... ah ... that's not it ... no .. no ah ha here it is ... blah blah blah ... blah blah blah ... blah blah blah blah blah ... okay so it says here we need to ..."

"Need to what?" Philippe asked when the wizard paused.

"We need to work together, bring our knowledge together, and not argue or take sides ..." he realized that they were doing everything the book told them not to.

"So your going by a stupid book?" Ariana scoffed.

"Now, now not any book ... this book has been used by wizards for many generations, its very powerful and respected." Graftenshaft told them, as Ariana, Philippe and Lydia laughed. "Laugh all you want, but what this book says is what we've been doing!"

"Okay, since he's going to let a book tell us, lets see what we have ourselves and see what we can put together and make to become strong." Lydia said as they and finally Graftenshaft all got out what they all use the first time.

They talk and worked and they were going to work together as a team to once and for all defeat them.

"You know, I'm going to show that little kitty that's I'm not afraid of her anymore!" Brutus said getting up.

"And how do you expect to do that? I'm not helping her with anything, I'm just here for the trip!" Nat said crossing his arms.

"Nat is right, that's all I'm doing too." Pat said as Matt nodded his head along.

Slyder looked at the rats. "Does he always not talk?"

Pat and Nat looked at Matt that was scratching his head.

"Yes, he's acting mime, he can talk, he just doesn't." Nat told the serpent.

"Okay, uh ... ooh yes ... I'm hungry and need to eat?" Slyder said as Brutus and the rats rolled their eyes at him.

"I'll tell you want to eat ..." Pat was cut of by Matt that was miming eating cheese.

"Yes we know you want cheese!" Nat told him as Matt jumped up and down.

"You know, your looking like a really good snack!" Slyder eyed the rats. They all hid behind Brutus.

"I think I'm fine for now, how about you two?" Nat asked as the other two rats agreed with a nod.

"Maybe you should think less about food and how are we going to defeat them animals!" Brutus sighed putting his paw on his face when Slyder licked his lips.

"Whoa there big green serpent, we're go find you something to eat." Nat said ad he, Pat and Matt ran off.

"And you don't scare me." Brutus told Slyder .

Sorry its taking so long, I've been sick (still am) and helping out with chores and I bit of writers block. So from now on the chapters will be a bit shorter unless I have a huge idea that will make it longer. And I'm not to sure about this chapter, but I hope you like it.

So, please review. It would mean so much to me.
