Elsewhere, the Leading Amity Clone was reading more about the spellbook, seeing if there's anything here that could help with taking over the Boiling Isles. So far, she's got bupkiss.
"Damn it, Eda, where's the spells?" The Leading Amity Clone growled as her group of Amity Blight Clones were losing interest in finding them, thinking that they should do something else instead, but they were too scared to speak up. They looked at her with big, terrified eyes and shook their heads, even though one of them had the audacity to tell her what she wanted to hear: "Sorry, Miss."
She gave a frustrated groan, then ran a hand through her hair in frustration, before going over to the other Amity Blights and telling them about the spellbook. Then she went back to her group of Amity Blights and told them, "A little help would be appreciated!"
But they all just flinched in fear. Even one of them said, "Sorry..."
The lead Amity Clone felt like she was going insane from this endless waiting...
That is until she saw one of the Amity Blight Clones standing up straight and looking directly at her. She blinked in surprise, as the clone asks, "Why are you still looking up spells? There isn't anything here that can help us! We already have all the spells we need for our plan! All we need now is-"
She stopped herself right there as the Leading Amity Clone began shaking her head. "I think I found something."
"Huh? You found something?" The Clone asked.
And the Leading Amity Clone held out her hand towards a specific page. The Blight Clone looked at her and asked, "What did you find?"
The Leading Amity Clone said, "Mind control spells, it's a start, but I think we'll find dark spells soon enough. Notify the others." The Blight Clone nodded silently and ran off. After making sure she wasn't followed, the Lead Amity Clone walked over and read the Mind Control Spell over and over again. "This should work…" She mumbled under her breath.
The lead Amity Clone looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on her and leaned forward and whispered to one of the Amity clones, "I need you to take a group of Amity Blights, and cast the spell with me."
At the Blight Manor, Odalia was struggling to deal with the Amity clones either gossiping with each other or arguing with each other about who's the real Amity. It was almost she was on the edge of insanity, dealing with that and unsure which one is the Real Amity.
"Why couldn't have I been cloned?!" Odalia thought in her head. "That would've been more bearable than dealing with this many of my daughter!"
Lillith, carrying a Child Amity Clone, and two Amities carefully and uneasily made their way towards the Blight Manor, Luz quickly opening the door for them.
"What the devil, Amity, did you fall into the duplication goo?!" Lillith asks.
"Accidentally! And how did you know about this?" Amity said, sternly.
"Seriously?" Lillith said, annoyed. "You think me and Eda never dealt with duplication in our lives?"
"I said I was sorry!" Eda said, angrily. "And besides, more of me was totally worth it!"
"You girls filled Daddy's house and Alador's room with Abomination Goo." Odalia said, annoyed.
"Still totally worth it." Eda smiled.
"Can we PLEASE focus!" Amity yelled, making the younger Amity flinch. "What can we do with all these other Amitys?"
"Well, there IS a pause spell that we can work on, but I need my spell book for that because it's been a while since I used something like that." Eda said, walking through the crowd of Amity blight clones and to the front door.
"And where do you think you're going?!" Odalia said.
"I have the pause spell ripped out and buried deep in Hexside!" Eda replied, snidely. "So don't keep your panties twisted into a knot. If you'd like to come with me, you're more than welcome to do so to help."
"We'll go." Lillith said. Odalia was not interested in going.
"Oh, and if you find any Duplication Goo around, be sure not to fall into it, or let alone drop a piece of your DNA in there," Eda said. "It could contribute as an add-on to the other clones. For example, if Lillith were to accidentally drop a strand of her hair or a tear from her eyeball into the goo, the Amity clone could receive the personality of her, in addition to having her hair color, eye color and her magic strength level."
Odalia was intrigued by this, maybe with one Amity that's like her emotionally, maybe she could find a way to uphold the family legacy while Amity is being herself, and everyone would be satisfied!
"Then what are we waiting for, just let me get my things." Odalia smirked.
Suddenly, Amity sensed something was off about her mother wanting to take part of this charade... Something was very Out of Character for Odalia...
As the three Women walked throughout the woods, trying to ignore the crowds of Amity clones that were talking amongst each other, they eventually came across a duplication goo lake, making more Amities by the dozens, much to Odalia's confusion as she asks, "Well this is one lake, why can't we just cast the spell here and..."
"Because you need to do that with all the locations of the duplication goo at the same time, it's like one of those things that have a link with each other with technological components, or whatever..." Eda said, annoyed. "And again, I don't have the damn page link."
"You know, I'm feeling exhausted, I'll catch up with you later." Odalia said, sitting down on a rock near the puddle as she feigns exhaustion. Eda groans and Lillith rolls her eyes as they continue on. Odalia then takes her purse out and pulls out her hairbrush, which had a few strands of her hair and Alador's hair on it. She dumps the hair into the puddle, watching it sink into the Goo.
At first, nothing seemed to happen, which makes Odalia shrug casually.
"Eda must've thought wrong." Odalia said, getting up, but then, the goo started to bubble and after a few seconds of bubbling and the ground shaking, a bunch of figures rose from the ground, they were Amity clones, but something about them was different, instead of having brown hair roots, they were the same color as Odalia, as well as the same eye color as her. Some Amity Clones had completely brown hair and gold eyes, like Alador!
"It actually worked!" Odalia smiled. "My own batch of Amity clones, ones that are actually like ME! But we'll have to tell you apart from each other, how about, Amelia Blight and for the ones like Alador, Alyson Blight."
The Amity clones with Odalia's DNA grinned sinisterly, "Thank you, Mother."
The Amity clones with Alador's DNA grimaced as the warily said, "Uh...thanks, Mom."
"I'm gonna love this!" Odalia smiled. Little did she know, a familiar illusionist watched the whole thing with a certain King.
"Oh, man, Amity isn't gonna like that." Gus gulped.
"No kidding!" King said, growling. "We better hide Hooty before those New Amity clones tear him a new one worse than Amity did."
However, one of the clones that were with the Leading Amity clone were secretly stalking the Amelia Blight clones in the trees.
