Chapter one
A lone man approached the home of Jim lake Jr. even from down the street he could hear the argument.
"What did you do to my son!" 'Now what is wrong?' the man wondered then he heard the voice of The false champion "I did what needed to be done in order to keep you son safe." 'Descew I have need of you!' the man sent over the link that connected the Elemental Council to each other. In a flash of light another man appeared "What is it Spider?" the man asked "Our problem resurfaced." the man jerked his thumb over his shoulder just as a crash was heard in the house.
Inside the Lake home
Jim Lake awoke with a start. He felt the ripple of power. As his family and friends gathered around he jumped at Merlin like he was an enemy before Merlin realised what was going on Jim had him by the throat and in the air just as Arrgh and Blinky charged in and the two men appeared in the living room.
"Seems we are just in time to deal with my mistake!" The big one spat as if the word was poison.
"No it can't be you all died!" Merlin cried out "oh we are very much alive."
"Who are you?" Came the voice of Baraba Lake. The answer came from not the beings it came from Binky "Great Grumbly Gruesome, it can't be Master Spider of the Dead, Master MiCrose but how we all saw you die at The Battle of Amity!" The man that Blinky referred to as Master MiCrose squinted "Blinkuse Galadracal, Arrghamon, is that you?" his face broke into a wide grin "It is you! How are you both doing?" "Descew can we do this at a later? We still have two issues to deal with." the one called Spider of the Dead said as he gestured at Merlin and Jim.
"Of course first," Descew reached out and grabbed Merlin "Even though I can't kill you I CAN make your life a living hell!" in a flash of light Descew and Merlin vanished then Spider looked at Jim, "First let me say even though what Merlin did was wrong this works out better for you though your mate will have to be changed to match you only if that is what she wants." Spider said as he turned and looked at Claire Nunez "Wait I could become like Jim?" she asked he eyes wide and her mouth open in disbelief "That is exactly what I am saying young one." Claire's face broke out in a wide grin "YES!" She screamed as Descew returned minus Merlin. "Then it looks like I have some work to do."
