This is repurposed from the Og Dante story, why ignore a great chapter? I will be repurposing a few chapters since they were so purely and perfectly written.


Realizing he had to help, he shifted out of his invisible state and walked to Phoebe, who gave him a strange look. The guy's eyes widened with understanding as if he knew who Dante was.

The guy turned back to Phoebe. " Don't worry, she's alright." The witch gave him a look, not amused. "Well, I mean, she's not completely alright, obviously, but she's not dead."

"Are you sure she's not?"

"Frankly, you see this a lot. Museums, universities, town centers... Most of those statues, not really statues. They're people like your sister here who have been, uh, turned into stone."

"Who are you?"

"Chris. Chris Perry. I'm from the future... and this is Dante, the Grey mage... You were supposed to be killed by Meta, I never realized you would have survived if I intervened..." He looked contemplative, worried even. "He's an extremely dangerous and powerful wizard, neither good nor bad... he's a legend in the future... maybe he can help?"

It was then that the strongest Halliwell walked into the room, horrified. "Oh! My god, tell me that's just a really good likeness of Paige."

Dante shook his head. "No, it's your sister."

Chris nodded. "Titan turned her to stone.

"Who-who are you?"

Phoebe gave a strange look. "That's Chris. He's from the future. The other one is Dante, he's apparently neither good nor evil, a legend in the future."

Chris nodded. "Yeah, but just like twenty years or so."

Piper looked unconvinced. "Uh-huh. Friends or foes?"

Phoebe looked strained. "Not so sure yet.

Chris gawped at them. "What do you mean? I saved Paige, didn't I?"

"Oh, you call that saving, do you?" Phoebe said.

"Hey, I'm the one that put my life on the line here. I didn't have to drop everything I was doing just to orb in and save her butt..."

Piper said. "You-you orb? You're a Whitelighter?" She laughed a little.

"Look, where I come from, history shows Paige didn't get turned into stone on this day... she died. And with her death the power of three died too, allowing Titans to rule and create a world you don't wanna see, trust me. I'm here to alter history. To help you save the future."

Phoebe said. "Who sent you?'

"I can't answer that."

"Why not?"

Dante got annoyed. "You've time traveled, right? You know the rules, you know to never reveal too much. It's the whole point. Leave him be. I can sense morality and magic, he's a good being. If he wasn't, it would change his orbs to a dark blue. I've heard of it happening with Whitelighter's before, once they change their moral stance to evil it makes their magic darken. He's good."

Chris nodded. "Thank you. Listen, all I gotta say is, is that if I hadn't got here when I did, Paige would have been the third Whitelighter victim.

Phoebe looked confused. "Wait, third? I thought only one was missing?"

"Not anymore."

Piper snapped. " Leo! Leo!"

Leo, the Whitelighter, orbed in. " Honey, I'm sorry I missed counseling but..."

Piper shook her head. "Forget that, we've got bigger problems.

"What happened?"

"Forget that too. How many Whitelighters are missing?"

"What?"

"How many?"

" Uh, two. That's what the Elders just called me for."

Chris snarked. "Believe me now?"

Leo turned and saw him. " Who are they?"

A crash sounded from downstairs. but Dante wasn't worried. Now that Meta wasn't choking the air with her power, he could freely sense the presence of a dozen or so magical beings. All good.

Phoebe frowned. "What was that?"

She left then, with Leo and Piper following her.

Rolling his eyes, Dante clicked his staff against the ground, summoning his potion lab. Light danced around the center of the attic, fading to show a table with dozens of bowls, pipes, tubes, bottles, and ingredients appeared. Hard work and a lot of sacrifices had stocked the damn thing to perfection, gifts from his many clients kept it in perfect form. With this magic, he could free Paige.

Approaching Stone cold Paige, he placed a hand on her chest and closed his eyes. Immediately he felt a rush of power, heady and strong as witches could be mixed with the distinct light of a whitelighter. It was potent, incredibly so. "She's still alive, your right... and I think I can save her."

Immediately he got to work, just as Chris was flipping through the Book of Shadows. Within a few minutes, Piper appeared.

Piper noticed Chris touching her Book. "What are you doing?"

Chris responded. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to find a way to free stone-cold Paige over here."

"Step away."

Chris did as she asked. "Please, like I haven't looked in this before. By the way, you should update your goblins entry. It'll come in handy someday."

"Goblins?"

"Yeah, trust me. It's gonna get ugly. Look, obviously you don't trust me, but I touched the book, right? And the book thinks I'm good. Shouldn't you?"

"Well, maybe you found a way around that."

" Piper, come on. I'm just trying to help."

"Well, then if that's true, why don't you tell me how to vanquish the Titans?"

"Except you can't vanquish them."

"You mean, not without the Power of three."

"Maybe not even with that. The only way the Elders could stop them three thousand years ago was by infusing some mortals with a hell of a lot of power. Way more than you guys have."

Dante, listening in, called out. "He's talking about the Greek gods, Piper. I've met a few of their legacies, mortals with some trace of divinity. Psychics, a lot of them, are the legacies of Apollo. He was the God of Oracles. The Muses, the god ones, made the Muse species that inspire mortals." He bit his lip, then smirked. " Ahaha!"

Just then Phoebe, a dwarf and a leprechaun walked in.

Piper turned to her. "Phoebe, what are you doing? You're supposed to be..."

Phoebe shook her hands. " I know, I know. But I thought they could help us free Paige. After all, a leprechaun's luck has helped us before."She patted the dwarf on the shoulder."

"He's a dwarf, Phoebe," Dante said, turning to her. "No need for them, I can save her. I am mixing a potion that mixed with a Power of Three Spell will break the spell. Petrification is rare, I met a few demons that could do this. Meta was powerful, far stronger than they were, but it's not tied to her power anymore so the same spell can break it. If it was tied to her, then even your power would be impossibly outmatched. Give me... five minutes? I have the right ingredients."

She nodded slowly. "How'd you know the difference between a Leprauchan and Dwarf, and where'd this stuff come from?"

"In order, I can sense the difference plus their outfits. I summoned this from my lair, it's my potions lab. Or part of it, the bulk of it I mean. It's enough to shatter this magic... It'll kill my fairy wing supply, but my dealer among the trolls should be able to restock me in a month or so."

Phoebe looked horrified. "Fairy wings?"

"Trolls kill them anyway, might as well get their wings out of the deal. It's dark magic but it works wonders."

Piper groaned. "Okay... but still... one thing I'm still not clear about. If the Titans are roaming around, why are they killing Whitelighters?

Chris answered. " Because they need their orbing power."

"Their orbing power? What on earth would they wanna do with... oh my god. Leo!" Then Piper shot out of the Attic.

Phoebe looked confused. "Wh-What'd I miss? What did she just figure out?"

Dante was all too happy to answer. "To get into the Heavens... now give me a drop of your blood, my potion requires your blessing." Turning, he called out. "Piper, get your ass up here."

The women, to his shock, answered him and actually arrived. "What?"

"Blood, for the potion then get ready for a Power of Three Spell. I made one that will help... " Piper, to his pleasure, obeyed him and added a drop of her blood to his potion. The thing poofed and the smoke turned red. Picking up the bowl, he dumped the potion all over Paige's stone body. Then he wrote down the spell. "Say this, but make sure you're touching her."

The remaining sisters did as he asked, putting hands on her and reciting his spell.

"Let flesh be flesh and bone be bone

Restore our sister, break the stone

We call upon the Power of Three

Shatter this magic, set Paige free."

A rush of power, that of the Power of Charmed Ones, filled the room, and his potions boiled on Paige's stone body. She started to glow and then, in a flash, the stone crumbled around her revealing a stunned Paige.

Paige snapped out. "What happened? Where's the Titan? What the hell are these guys doing here?"

Phoebe rushed to hug her. "You missed so much... Thank you, Dante... thank you."

"Not a problem dear. Now, if you don't mind, since I am no match for the Titans, I am going to start adding layers of protection to your bare home. Really you have been quite complacent, This place is so easy to get into." Ignoring their stunned looks, he sent his potion lab away and summoned his talismans of protection, crystals, shells, and other things that he could use to make this home actually safe from the Titans...

Maybe... he hoped so anyway.

Then, as soon as he could, he'd attack Chris and dig into his memories. Screw secrecy, he needed answers, and damn it he would get them. If the future was so bad they were all at risk... then he had to learn all he could. He did not trust Good any more than Evil, he had to make his own moves to fix the future.

Nothing would stop him...

Nothing.


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
