With Morgana as soon as she was sucked into the Temple Chamber of Faith's Nature:
Morgana was being pulled by an unseen force to every which way inside hallways and rooms that represented the bounty of nature's promise, by what she could guess, and with going through various opened double doors that represented various areas on Earth that held various forests, until she went past the final door representing to that of the Mayans as it shut swiftly behind her, and the vast room itself being fully dark and unseeable.
In moments, the edges of the ceiling began to glow from luminescent vines to soon fully brighten the room in a glow of non-harmful rays of sunshine in a sense, and revealed to be a room to where all of nature roamed to a mix of Greek, Aztec, and Mayan with hints of Roman in art and design in the entire room fit for nobility, mixed with being more than it seemed, especially that there was a delicate-looking throne with having non-pricking roses of various colors and designs all around it.
Though the person who appeared to be gazing at her softly, was something she never expected to see, especially since Morgana unknowingly tinted due to the natural beauty of the person that appeared in the vast array of wind-blown petals of various flowers.
She was a slightly tall woman who stood at exactly eight feet in height and also had the perfect top hourglass body with at least an EE-Cup sized chest. She wore a pure-green gown that had imprints of leaves of all types woven into the dress, and it also showed most of her cleavage, but decently as well as it was mostly in a u-shape from the neck to the chest area. There were also silver-like vines with small golden leaves that were around her arm and waistline, as if it was a belt to which also had a blue diamond in the middle of said belt in shape of a maple leaf. She also appeared to be at least nineteen or twenty in age, and had pointed ears with black bead-like earrings on them that held something mystical, on the sides of her ears. She also had pure ocean-blue eyes like Naruto Uzumaki's yet she also had under her eyes some teal triangle markings up to three each.
She only appeared to be amused at most, and stated in a way, Morgana was for some reason weak-kneed for only a moment due to how seductive yet both sensual and sincere the voice while having a british accent, was not speaking as such, and even confusing her by how her body reacted, "It seems you took your well derived time to come to my domain I was bestowed by the former essence of nature herself, to help me survive as my own brother's summon."
Shaking her head, the woman got up gracefully, and was still amused as Morgana quickly got onto a single knee before blinking a few times when the woman gently cupped her face with mirth slightly showing from her eyes by the child's actions, "You do not need to bow to me, Young One. I may be of royalty even as an Aeon of the Wild and Nature, but you have no reason to do so as we are equal. You, Golden Child, and myself, Mazera Vontrillizo. I can tell your instincts can easily sense my wild power that I yield, to cause you by forced means to bend the knee to myself." The woman, Mazera, kept her gentle smile on her face from seeing Morgana did tint after her words.
"That… Explains why I'm so confused why I did that," Morgana admits with being helped up by Mazera who only lightly chuckled and gave her an understanding look and response, "Tis be expected as young as such as you, Morgana or perhaps Mary, as to your preferred name by things. As a fellow warrior and huntress to my elements to save my life eons ago, I have yet to be placed out of my debt that I have owed to become as I am. That, and my other younger sister who too, became an Aeon as well, otherwise… We both would have been lost to the tainted dark."
Morgana blinked at that before following Mazera to a hidden chamber that was revealed to the right of her throne, from touching something specific on the arm rest, and down a downward hall that led to even a bigger chamber to which Morgana saw it was some type of naturally preserved stadium, then a chamber. With there being wild flowers of various kinds adorning the walls, however, and some glowing rocks of sorts that fully illuminated the area at the entire corners of the hexagon-based area that was half as large and in height, of the largest football stadium in the United States.
Morgana was soon perplexed why Mazera vanished before appearing over to the other side with the walls soon letting out a faint barrier-like glow for protecting the wild flowers, and the girl saw the woman gazing at her with a gentle but serious stare with still warmth in her eyes.
Morgana was wary as she summoned Xal'atath with quickly getting into a stance once Mazera held her hand out and from magically-made flower petals of various flowers, a decently sized battle staff was formed that resembled to the woman's outfit in style yet at the top was like a set of various roses with emerald gemstones in the center, and was made of pure white elder wood, and with a bronze and copper-designed set of snakes going across from each other in a opposite barber shop spiral to the bottom, which was capped in a silver casing.
Of course when she blinked, she saw the woman's name and a health bar that was in a darker green of sorts with a lighter green, and heard Mazera state gently to her then, "In order to pass my trial, I need to truly test your strength and mettle. I will try to make things fair, but I would prefer you go all out. After, one final test to prove things further."

Without warning, Mazera vanished and then reappeared with Morgana in quick response, using Xal'atath to block a deathly blow that sent a slight raw power of pale-pink primrose petals from the staff the woman was using, as they moved away from each other.
Morgana was soon dodging when Mazera was within the air as the top of her battle staff glowed, and sent vine-like zaps of green lightning in random directions all over the area a few times before the woman vanished, and failed to strike the girl as she rolled away in time, and managed to blink at seeing she managed to scratch the woman's face, which was quickly healing to make her actually smirk, before they were blocking each other's blows with enchanted sparks from both weapons, emitting as they did.
The two soon did this again, and again, until Mazera slipped up and leaned to her left, and was sent into the barrier to the far back to the left and bounced, and quickly landed onto her feet with the use of her staff while giving a wordless impressed gaze at the girl, before charging at Morgana, and with the mentioned girl blocking in quick response.
Mazera vanished before forcing Morgana to dodge and weave from beam-like rosebuds soon falling from a shimmering green vortex from around the female, with her stating mainly to herself aloud, "Shattering Blossoms!" Indeed once they landed onto the ground itself, each one exploded in raw magical power in a shattering effect that did spread, and making Morgana jump a few times by the growing rings they did before managing to block a blow by Mazera's battle staff.
They both leapt away and clash a few times of their weapons with Morgana being the only one to see she did some chunks of the Health Bar Mazera had that was only by half, before the woman leaps away from the child, and made Morgana randomly dodge left or right several times by sending a beam that when struck, made a flowery-like explosion of sorts before they clashed again with making both her weapon and Morgana realize by her vision, the health bar was lowered when she clashed at the specific slot of the woman's staff.
Of course Mazera decided to change things as she purposely sent Morgana away, and blinked as she absorbed the staff, with seeing her health bar before regaining again, as the woman clutched her heart and stated one word, release, and a bright neon-green and pink mixed flash occurred before seeing she wore a beautiful yet samurai-based armor that did little to hide her figure with being sleeveless for her arms and legs for no restriction of movement, showed her chest a bit more in decentness, and wore a silvery flower crown with bronze etchings and pale-golden roses on each side with a emerald gemstone in the center of each one, and white golden etchings on each gemstone in Latin, and within her hands was a large katana with the handle being similar to her battle staff.
Morgana felt slightly hypnotized as she watched in a way, Mazera was in a repeated motion as she swirled her weapons and with her soon being blinded before seeing the area changed to her platform, to stun the girl in place for only a moment before dodging a swift strike she almost got a direct hit from.
Morgana became guarded as she and Mazera was on opposites of the platform with the woman gently swirling her weapons a few times with stating then, and even hearing the unusual music soon playing gently in tone to the area, to the Young Chaosarinian, "Prepare for the true test."
Mazera spared no sense of delaying the conflict between them as she took charge, and sprinted in speeds that to impress the woman, and make Morgana struggle struggle in place with glancing to the abyss downwards and behind her, managed to block the hits from her blades against Xal'atath's own.
Morgana did blink by soon deflecting another attack with moving more closer to the center of the platform itself, of it being a rosebud-like energy ball that went into the abyss and exploded in sparks of flowers in multiple colors for damage, and without meaning to to widen her weapon's lone eye, and making Mazera's own widened as well in a comical sense, of the silvery and green flamed fireball about the size of an average cow from her free hand from untold build-up from her body secretly absorbing some of the Aeon's clashing aura being converted, and to which the female Aeon dodged and made Morgana do the same at sending the same bulb-like attack in retaliation, and soon clashed with magical sparks of their weapons against each other.
Though Morgana soon had bulging cheeks when she had her mouth open to speak about something in in another comedic sense, managed to gobble Mazera's one attack to get her to be stupefied by this as even they paused for a moment, as Morgana did swallow it before spreading herself wildly as she screamed from feeling raw energy being converted into her, and making the woman curse inwardly to herself in being amazed at forgetting what race the child before her was she defend herself from seeing the overflow of the girl's power making her weapon easily able to fly by her side as she became feral, from the wild of nature flowing throughout her frame, and began to hack and slash with magical clawed produced from her fingertips.
Seems I underestimated this outcome of my Flower Bud Cannon Spell being used this way… Mazera warily thought as she was able to send the wild girl back with seeing Morgana was on all fours with noticing the girl's platform shimmered for a moment to know the girl's soul was trying to adjust to this unknown ability, to which Mazera dodged from the unexpected lightning bolts coming from the mouth of the girl, gained based on her beastial forms.
"Seems your so-called test, is causing you your own problems," Xal'atath noted aloud to make Mazera role her eyes at the floating weapon merely observing with letting Morgana try and fail in pure wild instincts, to attack the Aeon herself with seeing a shadowy aura around her frame, "Which improves this test to see if she would become feral or more, to how she can handle her restaurants." Was what Mazera only retorted back with easily maneuvering away from the feral girl at this point.
Without warning, Mazera managed to block and send the girl away from her with both her weapons, swirled, and send another of her one spell right at her in a direct hit, and managed to make Morgana slightly aware with blinking a few times before shaking her head with the weapon casually going back to her, after, in her main hand with ignoring her appearance for a moment of still looking wild, and impressing woman further as to how long it took to get over it.
But deep down, the sister of Aeroza alongside the few known Aeons of the Wild and Nature, knew that there will be more trails if it comes to that.
"You have passed a few tests already in my eyes, Morgana…" Here a teal-based aura that had a natural feeling to it, easily showed with her eyes glowing for a moment and back to normal to know she was getting serious then, "But your final test to see if your worthy is to not face me, but to yourself with aid."
Confused by that as the music stilled and became silent all around the area, she nearly fell onto herself with almost dropping her weapon from the heavy and energetic pulses to her heart as she watched with stunned eyes, as the music began to pick up around the area, but in a slight echoing effect, of something shooting out of her with the Aeon herself now sitting on the edge with a barrier all around her, and to the girl's horror, saw that what revealed itself as her platform spread to three times it's normal size for more room for it to land, was something unexpected with a few steps back, and her looks back to normal.
It was what she became during Wonderland in the small war that was beheld in, but with a shadowy yet natural mixed shadow and teal aura that was faint around the entire frame it had to know, from oddly seeing the Aeon's name briefly before it shifted to 'Mazera's Test', in name, had a large health bar up to five stacks.
"Your final test is to see if you can tame your beastly side, and prove to nature you are not manipulated to your instincts to yourself, as you have passed my Test of Endurance, and Test of Prevalence, and now to see if you can pass this one." Mazera told the girl who gulped as her beast's self roared echoing at her with blowing her hair gently in waves for only a moment before she began to dodge plasma blasts her beast sent at her randomly.
Morgana gently gripped her weapon with dodging a few more blasts before blinking as it was by sheer accidental luck, to amuse Mazera as she calmly watched where she was, at sending the blast right back to her beast's head to make it roar in slight surprise and anger as it did a large chunk of health, and the beast did this again with Morgana prepared, did so several times.
After the tenth one was sent, the beastly drake roared at her before zooming upwards, and blinked with being stumped for only a moment, before dodging left, right, and even ducking as the dragon of herself tried to ram into her with bursts of electrocuting speed with flames mixed, and with the seventh pass, the repeated the earlier process.
After the thirtieth hit of the blast with it having the last bar left, a dense aura overcame the beast side of Morgana, and made Mazera frown at ensign someone was messing with her test as the color scheme and more, shifted into closer to a tainted black dragon with glowing crimson eyes with a more deadly and feral look, in a demonic sense of things with it gaining two more bars, and making Morgana's head spin at wondering why she gained this new farsighted ability before dodging rather hastily it ramming where she stood.
After being nearly harmed when her now corrupted beast side with slicing a few hairs from her head, the beast swirled ina full circle while going upwards before going to the abyss, circled the entire enlarged outer boundaries of Morgana's platform, and then began rising with gazing at the girl with a snarl with glinting eyes that the girl didn't like, and roared as when she looked up, began to panic and dodge the falling flaming rocks the beast used as with seeing vortexes spitting them out, randomly, on the platform itself with minor inward explosions.
"Seems someone messed with something by the displeased face that testing woman did," Xal'atath tells Morgana who didn't see it with soon dodging a dark purplish and crimson mixed plasma beam that began to chase the girl for a few minutes all over the platform behind her, before getting side-swiped by the tail when the drake vanished and appeared to do so, and nearly sent her of the edge of the platform itself.
Morgana soon began to dodge roll away from the edge as her corrupted beast self nearly charged at her after vanishing, and appearing, a few yards in front of her and roared in anger at not doing so, circled around, and began charging at her with Morgana narrowingly dodging each time.
After it failed to what Morgana thought was the tenth try to shove her away from the platform, the beast of himself soon glided up to the air with heavy wing beating, and began to send multiple blasts of plasma bolts at her, to which she was able to deflect some by an accident on the first try before doing it on purpose up to a few more times to see she dealt major chunks to the bar within her vision.
The beast roared in growing rage with it developing a darker aura around it's frame, and making Morgana and even her weapon go wide-eyed in a comedic sense as it sent a massive beam right at her, to which to her shock, Valefor appeared out of nowhere and made a protective barrier around them with it not being able to penetrate the Aeon of Wind's barrier with it soon panting as it landed onto the ground, and without hesitation, Morgana began to attack the glowing orb that came from the mouth with regular slashes and hacks to see it was the true health of the creature before it went quickly back into the maw of the corrupt testing beast, roared at her, and then took off to repeat things once again.
Morgana had to do this three times before the orb shook on the last hit and exploded, causing the beast to fade into shadowy smoke and sparkles of energy as it dispersed to soon not prepare either Mazera or Morgana for what came next, as Valefor dismissed itself away to recharge.
In its place to test her further was an Anti-Form of Morgana herself, but with a demonic blade within the doppelgänger's main hand. Not known to the girl that is.
The darker version of Morgana soon sharply gazed right at the girl herself, and creeped Morgana and Xal'atath out, even Mazera who frowned at realizing as to what this was, and wondered with watching Anti-Morgana give out a feral, crazed, sharp-toothed grin with swaying from side to side, and the music ceased within moments.

A upbeat sound soon began to play all around Morgana as she managed to stop and block the deadly strike her Anti-Self tried to deal killing blow damage to within moments before leaping, and making Morgana soon swerve and dodge swift spell-based attacks to not known to her at the time, Dark Firaga, before charging right at Anti-Morgana to which she was shocked her darker self managed to block her charging attack with it's own block in a brief guarded stance before shoving her off as they kept on clashing with enchanted sparks of light and darkness, all around the area with Morgana still dodging those fireballs.
Morgana blinked with seeing her Anti-Self blinked twice in equal shock for only a moment when she sent out a golden yet silvery fireball right back from her free hand without meaning to to defend herself, before they began to have a duel to see who can get by their own type of fireball.
Soon it was at the point of juggling each other's fireballs with their weapons eyeing each other in challenge with the Anti-Morgana' own blade revealing a demonic eye as well, before they quickly merged flame ball blasted Anti-Morgana a few steps away before Morgana grabbed Xal'atath and saw she managed to make her darker self have a few hairs be cut before the demonic weapon appeared in the darker's hands and made Morgana block her slice attack.
They were soon avoiding each other's direct attacks until Morgana managed to get a lucky hit to Anti-Morgana's head, which sent her away from the entity by the creature letting out an echoing roar with them both grabbing their weapons and blocking another direct attack between each other.
Without warning, Morgana was confused for only a moment before she was dodging the unexpected plasma-like fire balls about the size of a basketball, from the repeating maw her Anti-Self was using in random spurts and with Morgana, managing to deflect some right back at her and when the third hit Anti-Morgana, she was stunned long enough for Morgana to land a few extra hits before dodging a enlarged briefly sword swipe by ducking and jumping over it, and then they resumed the same tactics again, and again.
After the fifth time, Anti-Morgana roared in a more powerful way and soon was astonished as the weapon her Anti-Self had, absorbed right into the entity… And it held it's head before falling off the platform, and to only make Morgana land one her behind as Anti-Morgana became something closer to an Anti-Twilight Thorn in slight looks, but with draconic armor mixed and the eyes were to that of the blade it once wielded.
To explain a bit better of what the form Anti-Morgana took, a gargantuan entity of sorts that seems to be clad in a black as the night bodysuit, as evidenced by the large, silver zipper lining its front. Its simple, round head's only feature is a white unusual logo on its front where the creature's face would be with the mentioned eyes that held a slight emerald ring around the pupils a few inches or so at the bottom of the symbol. It has rather thick, short legs with spikes on its hips and draconian feet. Its waist is quite thin and has dark gray sides. Its shoulders each sport a gigantic, diamond-shaped spike and its arms are very long, and reach the floor when fully extended down. And as to mention, gothic-like flexible draconian armor that was only on the arms, torso, and the upper part of the thighs with metal-based fingerless gauntlets.
The improved Anti-Morgana only seems to have one distinct digit on each of its hands, however, via the thumb. It also has four long emerald tentacles with tips resembling the spikes on the same unusual sigil that wrap around its neck. Its overall body shape seems to be meant to resemble the symbol too, but feminine.
"Didn't expect this!" Morgana shouted with Mazera frowning to herself but stated nothing as Morgana was dodging the dark ribbons Anti-Morgana sent randomly to stab her before easily floating and swirling as she ran the opposite way before vanishing and making Morgana dodge roll to her left and then right by the deadly clawed strikes before trying to evade the rapid spins before Anti-Morgana vanished, and appeared within the air.
The eyes glowed a brief full green as it soon conjured shadowy balls the size of beach balls, and making Morgana able to dodge some as a barrier was around the entity, and with the aid of Xal'atath, sent some back with shifting to her own power without realizing it in a more silvery-golden hue to strike the shadowy barrier three times, and dissolved it to make Anti-Morgana tremble in slight rage before making a beam to which Morgana deflected with her weapon absorbing the energy, but sent it right back to a revealed gemstone on the chest area to stun her Anti-Self to deal extra slices and attempted critical hits, and began to do that tactic a few more times.
After what seemed like the fifth or so time, the held her ground by the darkened wind that picked up when Anti-Morgana let out a echoing roar of rage as a crimson and dark aura, mixed with what her energy was, briefly shown around the frame before multi-coloring the strange symbol on the head and making the eyes glow green, to know she was nearly close to defeating it.
Of course she had to dodge quickly with nearly getting hit by the unexpected, swift, plasma-based fire balls the creature sent from the maw it actually had around the face in a jack-o-lantern way, and with them sailing through the abyss itself in random directions at failing to hit Morgana, and Anti-Morgana soon snarled after the thirteenth blast before roaring to make Morgana stand in place, and prepared herself.
She blinked as a random emerald shield covered her fully when Anti-Morgana decided to breathe very hot and deadly looking mixed violet and silver flames at her spot, and with the leftovers of fire easily falling down the platform itself, for at least a few minutes.
Morgana was soon dodging left and right by the sudden vanishing and appearing act Anti-Morgana did with trying to physically strike her down, and with her managing Xal'atath to aid her with blocking as well, and even sending her darker and altered counterpart easily back a few times.
After managing to dodge all the attacks, Anti-Morgana looked furious as she vanished before appearing within the air, and began sending instead of flames, a pure and darkly-empowered beam of energy right at the center, and by sheer accident, Morgana managed to deflect the beam to the left side of the abyss of where she stood with easily avoiding the observing Mazera who pales at where the beam ended up hitting, and was rather surprised like Morgana was, at deflecting the beam right back to stun her counterpart.
After Anti-Morgana crashed onto the platform, a few slashes from Xal'atath and it was over.
Finish/End Music.
A flash or darkened light illuminated Morgana's vision as to stun her with regret forming within herself, saw her darker half looked battered, bruised, and injured while back to the humane look while also holding her injured right arm with her left, and knew that she couldn't move if she wanted to, due to actual fear both the Young Chaosarinian and The Aeon of Nature could easily see.
Mazera though looked pleased by the unexpected decision as Anti-Morgana appeared to be willing to die from sharply closing her eyes with Ami appearing and was given the order to wait, by The Aeon of Nature, and made the darker formed version of Morgana let out a silent gasp aimed right at her lighter counterpart when she dismissed Xal'atath, with the weapon understanding things, and held out a hand to her.
Seeing Morgana only give Anti-Morgana a soft and acceptable gentle smile to her, made the entity confused with being hesitant a few times with soon reaching out, and by mere touch, fully healed her with at the same time, expelling a Possessor Heartless out of the entity, and destroyed it, not known to all but Mazera herself.
"I don't really want to end you at all, as… Well, you're me." Was all Morgana told Anti-Morgana to make the entity to blink a few times in disbelief wordlessly at this before they both and Ami going away to see she didn't need to settle things, saw Mazara on the platform with a few gentle yet obvious clapping sounds with her hands as she told Morgana mainly with a soft look to her, "Well done, child. You have accepted your darkness in a modified version of my trail, instead of vanquishing it to what my sister would have done… For that, you may call upon me in any battle or situation that needs my services, as you have earned it, and unlock another sibling version of yourself besides your so-called shadow, by your choice."
This made both Morgana and Anti-Morgana equally blink a few times in mixed confusion and shock, to which in Morgana's case, more confusion as to what the Aeon of Nature meant for Ami, but placed it for later with seeing a door appear with Anti-Morgana looking reluctant but went into it as it vanished after, by Mazera's words gently to her, "You as my slight blessing, will be able to leave this domain and exist, but to where, only Lady Morgana will reunite with you."
Once Morgana saw the door vanish, she blinked at seeing her fading to get the Aeon of Nature to understand, and told to stun the girl, "You have been forced into a deep sleep up to this point, once you entered my ritual chambers to awaken and pass my test. You will have my blessing as well, but to what, you will find out on your own, child. So go now, and save those you cherish with all your heart, and may your heart be your guiding key."
Morgana indeed woke up with a sharp start, and saw the area was old and of a more ancient appearance with a statue of sorts on an old table to know, she did not dream of anything due to seeing the few names carved, as hers.
She then looked determined as she got up, with her ears easily hearing the sounds of fighting and the roars of the Dark One, and took off with haste until she nearly ran into Marianne who was about to be swatted by the more demonic entity in appearance, but saved her life by a bladed tentacle limb, as it looked like the beast changed into its final form as an eldritch abomination version of itself.
"You ok, Mei?" Morgana asked her friend to which she nodded with seeing everyone retreating from it as the creature recoiled when Morgana did blink at her hands to see it smoking of raw energy before she shook it in confusion, as only those that stayed saw the fiery beam that came from the child's hands by sheer accident, as the fairy princess nodded once sharply with a wince and glanced to see her wing was slightly bent to know it was broken, "A bit," but they gazed at the monster that was causing damage to the environment itself, from seeing some plants beginning to die or wither from suing their life source as energy, "But if that thing isn't stopped, then our home will fall."
Marianne saw Morgana looked determined with seeing Zone-Tan was awake and landed next to her, and caused the two to blink as The Bog King overheard, and recalled a loud, retreat, to his forces alongside King Dagda doing the same, "I'm not sure how I am going to do it, but I will stop that thing at all costs. You have my word, Mei."
Zone-Tan groaned to perplex the fairy princess as Morgana did glow a brief golden aura to know one thing, and make Marianne astonished by the demoness' words to the brunette, "She just made a non-breaking vow without meaning to, and now, she has to do this or she gets punished by magic itself."
"I did what?" Morgana states in shock before they all ducked from a random large rock being thrown over their heads by the monster, out of enraged randomness, and got Morgana to shake her head a few times before Zone-Tan forced the fairy princess to go with her back to the others by her firm orders to her soulmate, "Zee, take Mei and get her to safety as she can't fight with her wing as is… I got this."
Of course Zone-Tan only had a brief moment of doubt before seeing something that Marianne didn't in her soulmate's eyes and saw the power her girl had, was somehow increased in a way, she smirked inwardly to herself and as the two got to the others, an unexpected and fiery shadow barrier prevented everyone to at all enter, as it covered a vast area for only Morgana and the Altered Dark One, to face each other without setbacks.

There was soon a stare down between the Young Chaosarinian and the Altered Dark One, which the girl saw with a few blinks of her eyes doing so, revealing that title and a health bar as well within her vision.
Morgana soon dodged several tentacles the creature sent right after another from jabbing them into the ground to try and stab her to death, but failed, and after the seventh one failed it garbled in a chittering angered way before it began to ram in full speed right at her spot and stunned it long enough for Morgana to blink at her hand when she sent a random beam as before at it to make it squeal in pain, but then began to dodge the same attack once again, up to five times.
After the fifth time, the creature grew a bit bigger with a red aura with Morgana hearing it let out gurgled laughter with her covering her eyes as with a dark flash of light, they were no longer within the fairy kingdom lands, but of a dark abyssal area to that of a darker kingdom with her quickly having to dodge more swift attacks the beast began doing a few more times before it began to do something different as she summoned her weapon.
The creature gained a dark aura for a few moments before hissing in dark laughter before letting out an echoing roar that summoned fireballs from a vortex within the sky that began to trail after Morgana, and with the girl also having to dodge tentacle slams that easily stretched to her spot that kept missing, and letting out a dark mist with each missing hit.
After she managed to deflect the last larger fireball back at the creature, and saw a decent chunk was caused by this, made the Altered Dark One warble in anger within moments and had glowing red eyes in rage, and nearly made Morgana trip over herself with gripping firmly her weapon with eyeing at the entity in disbelief as it chittered in satisfaction, and grabbed a large cube of sorts that it easily crushed, and thrown at her for only the Young Chaosarinian to try and dodge the shards that began to evaporate in a deadly black mist when missed, and held her breath with avoiding at getting hit, and with the girl sensing that something bad would occur if it did.
After it did this same attack three more times, and with that unknown barrier aiding her at times when she couldn't dodge quick enough, enraged the creature further with making Morgana wary and yelped as it began to once again do the previous attack, but it was mixed with summoning two green-like fiery eyeballs that began to send deadly lime-green lasers to where she would stand for too long and with also soon sending several shards when it did the one attack to at least both of the eyes, and with one ending up hitting the Altered Dark One.
That caused it to stagger and hiss-chitter in agony as it struck the face of it, and soon held up an arm with looking wickedly at her as Morgana had to cover her eyes once again as when she was able to see, they were in another location once again and with seeing the Altered Dark One had gothic and knight-like mixed Celtic armor that matched mainly to black and dull-silver as colors, and a sinister helm in the same design as the one former beast on the head with an exposed face.
The location, however, felt twisted further than before with her heart heavily beating for some reason and held back the urge to clutch it, and felt like the entity was truly grinning wickedly in a knowing way, that it somehow knew this new location that was like a vast empty area with nothing but constant fog on the outskirts of their wider fighting area, was causing this issue with her heart.
Morgana shook her head and looked determined, despite the Altered Dark One creating a shadowy vortex and reaching in, and pulled out a black heart-shaped item of sorts that it swallowed… And was mixed with a few steps backwards when it grew twice as big and the armor faintly giving off an eerie black and ethereal blue mist whenever it moved, now.
Young Chaosarinian soon heard Mazera state telepathically to her, as the creature roared with an empowered voice to try and make Morgana stand her ground, and began to glow a fluorescent green aura around her bodily frame, " I will lend you my power and aid, as I hope it is enough to settle the final score between us, and this beast… " and it was the creature's turn to get blinded by a bright flash of mixed vivid green and blue flash of light as Morgana blinked like her weapon did, at her wearing the same outfit as Mazera yet adjusted to her current body, and also, her weapon yet smaller in size, within her other free hand.
Morgana gentle gripped it with feeling in an unknown sense, Mazera's energy and power gently flow through her within moments with Xal'atath around her blade, gaining a matching aura that was faintly green yet obvious to get the weapon and the Young Chaosarinian to nod a single time when they glanced at each other before dodging more shadow shards the beast try and dissuade the girl for.
Which did very little with Morgana's eyes fully glowing green this time, and with the power of Mazera and her Nature Mode Armor, used the staff to produce within moments many upon many rose-based vines and sent them right at the Altered Dark One, who began to struggle with damaging it's health bar in gradual spurts.
Morgana flapped her wings and charged right at the beast, and began making it hiss in true pain with each struck to where the vines exposed a gemstone-like eyeball that oddly enough, in design, to Sauron from Lord of the Rings, not known to the Young Chaosarinian herself, and flew back and landed once it sent black flames to devour the vines within moments, and dodged as the Altered Dark One began to rapidly charge at her.
She did get hit a few times with feeling that the new Nature Armor began to heal her injuries before seeing with looking upwards, at the Altered Dark One gazing sharply down her in a way with glowing feet to know it enchanted it's feet to float, she was unsettled, before dodging black lightning from a vortex the beast summoned from waving the few tentacles around to produce close to several dozen random ones, after, and tried to randomly hit her.
Morgana managed to summon barrier-like rose buds to protect her when they got too close to home for her tastes, and was able to deflect a vastly larger last one right back at the creature, and dodge-rolled away on the ground when it fell with it being stunned.
The gemstone eye was once again exposed, and Morgana without thinking, and did blink at this alongside Xal'atath for, of sending dagger-like designs of flowers at it to cause it to let out a flowery-like magical explosion to cause the creature to shriek in agony, before it vanished and began to do the lightning attack two more times before a crimson aura covered its frame.
Once more Morgana had to cover her eyes before seeing to her shock with trying to control herself, and her weapon going wide-eyed alongside the Young Chaosarinian, as they were free falling downward within a vast dark-like stormy vortex that was a single mile wide with random bursts of pure black and white lightning on the sides, and the Altered Dark One having four gargoyle-like wings now that matched it's black as night hide, below her with it soon using the tentacles to gather the sides and forcing Morgana to dodge either black or pure lightning in random directions, and when she gripped her staff, it shifted with a bright flash that didn't harm their eyes into a interesting looking gun, which she began to shoot with green energy right at the larger bolts trying to get to her.
To which, the gun was basically a floral-designed rose-based large automatic pistol of sorts with mainly green trimmings yet the metal is unusual silver of sorts with black leather hide in a crocodile scale pattern, and the main coverings is crimson red.
The Altered Dark One seeing this, warbled loudly before not only sending more bursts of the area's own lighting at her above, but began to send large plasma balls from the maw it revealed with ease, which Morgana had to aerial-maneuver several times.
Once she was halfway to the creature, the Altered Dark One chuckled with the gemstone revealed before it glowed and forced her back to where she previously was with having to soon avoid shadowy cubes that glitch once in a while to red or green, with the creature gradually sending faster bolts and flames at her.
Of course, Morgana did blink only once before grinning as she sent the green ones right at the entity, and making it hit the gemstone to cause it to shriek in pain, and she kept on doing this whenever she got the right chance for the last five and a half minutes before the creature below as soon as she got a few feet away, roared and forced her halfway back with the area flashing once again.
Pause Music.
When her sight came back to her… She realized to her shock, Morgana was trapped and spread eagle within a floating abyss, and the Altered Dark One was a giant version of itself, and warbled in victory with it began to speak darkly in an empowered voice, and saw her armor was shaking somehow and felt that her weapons were inside her, by realized at this point, she felt severely drained and weak, " My plan to expose you further has worked in my favor, and to try and stop Mazera to once again to destroy me. I admit that I had to go to my true form of self to do this, but it was worth the wait, from the use of that foolish ape's power she held as part of it alongside the chaos child's own, for this to occur. " Of course when the entity is speaking, Morgana only was hearing her own language and not the creature's own.
Morgana struggled with trying to hold back a scream as black lightning coursed through her body for several moments and glared at the entity who only chuckled in a humorless tone to know by the glowing gem-like gleam in the eyes that it was satisfied by what it was doing to her, and made Morgana shiver to herself in disgust when one stray tentacle gently caressed the right side of her face, " But I do sense potential within you, now, from your personal protection lowered enough to truly see what the eyes cannot, and only the heart can… The vast amount of hidden darkness and more from your past, showing how neutral you are to both sides at any cost as a key and weapon. "
Morgana saw the maw open up to reveal various rows of sharp teeth with her struggling in place to no avail, as it then chuckled to itself, " But it seems you have chosen your path to face me, the Genetic Spawn of Cthulhu, and must get absorbed before I return and end the Kingdoms of that one dimension as well. "
Before it could further that task, as Morgana closed her eyes sharply with thinking about her girls and family, blinked a few times at seeing the back of the creature was on fire by something shooting it in powerful energy bursts, and the next she knew after blinking a few times by the next pure flash of light to blind the Altered Dark One, was that she was being held by Cassie with seeing the one aura that Valefor gave her to fly was in use, and Chipana soon came over with a smirk with easily shaking her hands from the smoke, with the two blinking at getting hugged in a strong grip by the Young Chaosarinian.
They all turned when the Altered Dark One regained from Morgana's vision seeing this, back to full health to look at it when it roared at the trio mainly in anger, with easily hearing the speech and the mind translation to their heads as well, " You dare do that to ME? Me? The Genetic offspring of Cthulhu?! I was this close at preventing the Golden Prophecy as secondary orders to be ended, until you two mortals showed yourselves! A Demi-Godling, and a Saiyan Hybrid! I will end your lives here and now, and carry out my plans! "
"Talk about a pushover, huh?" Cassie casually tells the two other girls to get them to have amused grins of agreement as Morgana summoned both weapons, to make her give the two girls a look for later at seeing her new armor and staff that soon quickly shifted to that pistol form it has, as they got into stances with seeing they were on a floating platform that was half a mile across, and the creature rose to meet them.
Resume the same music as before or start over, and loop if need trio saw the Altered Dark One roar at them with making them stand in their place on the battle platform before dodging and separating from each other when it began to send dozens of tentacles that were charged with dark lightning and flames, to shock and roast them, if the fading misty scorch spots were any indicator at all.
The three girls were then dodging afterwards, illusions of shadowy tentacles that were bursting out of the ground and saw them damage some remaining flower stalks with ease.
The beast roared in rage before gaining a sudden glimmer in its eyes before warbling in dark self humor as the trio were blinded before seeing that the area was completely destroyed within the barrier of a vast wasteland of what was once beautiful, but thankfully the unexpected barrier produced by Morgana saved them with seeing that the vast area was within, alongside the four with including the Altered Dark One, of being within the void, and the vast land being a floating intact island.
The dark entity roared out at them with the trio dodging the same attacks with shadowy imps being summoned by the beast, and separated the three girls from each other as the main focus was Chipana, while Morgana and Cassie defended and aided each other.
"Come on! Is that all you got!" Chipana taunted the beast to enrage it further with it missing as the girl easily dodged the several random blasts of dark fire it kept conjuring with most blasts eradicating the shadowy imps, especially one that was about to stab Morgana's back from sending two others away from Cassie, and Chipana held back the urge to yelp once the creature stun the trio when it began to make phantasmal tentacles from it's person to strike them down, and made Chipana hold back an actual wince of slight burning pain with seeing it left slowly vanishing burn or scorch marks on the floor, and then it grew angry before a bright light flashed.
They were all free falling with the Altered Dark One being above them, and shooting random shadow blasts of dark energy that when they landed on the platform with haste, imploded without damaging things, but it did this in rapid succession.
Once they landed with the effects of freefalling no longer on them, they flew away in time when the creature stomped several times onto the floor, and dark and fiery flames bust in several rippled waves before falling over with ease at the ends and once the last ripple was sued up, the creature began to randomly spin with the tentacles it summoned this time, coming from the back and wit deadly looking jagged sharp tipped blades made of some type of dark metal.
They were able to luckily avoid the unexpected attack swirl the entity did, but soon had to go into Cassie's barrier as the creature leapt into the air with the aid of the tentacles and began to blast a large and deadly beam that would have severely harmed the trio, if Cassie didn't do this.
Once the beam was done, the entity was soon prone onto the ground looking dazed with seeing it was recharging, and took many attacks before they resumed the fight again, and again, and again, until things changed up a bit after recovering for the fifth time.
The creature made them all blink twice in dumbed shock as it let out a smirk somehow on its face, and purposely, fell over to the abyss by casually walking a step backwards.
Without warning, Morgana's weapons were instantly dismissed back into herself and with her looking normal, as both Cassie and Chipana called her out as a stray tentacle came from behind, and stabbed right through her heart from behind, and not showing any blood somehow as a dark-like aura covered her frame.
Morgana trembled in place and clutching her head, and before the two could say anything, saw her shakily gaze at them with seeing her eyes glowing an unsettling glowing amber color with tears starting to form and fall down her face, "G-Get away… Making me…" she looked blank faced before they were creeped out as they saw in the edge the creature rose up with a cruel smirk at the edge, to which Morgana's face matched the Altered Dark One's to get both Chipana and Cassie a few steps back as to creep them further out, Morgana's body jerked and twitched creepily before appearing by the influence of the creature, as a shadowy version of herself.
In terms, she became Anti-Morgana, sorta like the one character who sneezed while resting next to their friends on a isle, and with seeing the tentacle that was latched behind Morgana, evaporate yet an obvious link occurred to know one thing: The Altered Dark One took over Morgana's body by forced means, somehow.
Tears still streamed down Morgana's crazed face to know that the entity was making her fully watch what she was about to do, and with speed untold and causing Chipana to dodge, nearly got bitten by the obvious sharper fangs their shared girl had and with them soon avoiding her clawed attacks by her lengthened claws from her hands.
Cassie was soon chased when she accidentally shot a blast of light in a orb around the size of a baseball at Morgana, and with Chipana taking this risk of feeling enraged a bit of this creature harming what was hers, and blinked as not only she didn't expect to send a energy beam from her mouth, but it hit a dense barrier to know they couldn't attack the beast even if they wanted to, but saw Morgana cry out instead in pain, which was soon followed by the beast, and saw that Morgana while linked, caused it to be damaged, when the beam bounced and made a direct hit on their girl.
"I'm sorry for this…" Chipana states with Cassie overhearing her soul-sister, and before she could stop her, the girl begins to pummel out of reluctance on Morgana, of hard hits and kicks to which, Anti-Morgana was hit a few times before the entity was making her block each hit, and then cried out as Cassie sent another ball of light on their girl, and she saw the barrier shimmer yet resumed to know that if they deal enough damage to their girl, then maybe the Altered Dark One will lose their control over the Potter-Evergreen child.
The duo managed to trick the entity of using Morgana against them for several direct hits with Cassie's unusual orb of light attack, and after the seventh hit, Morgana fell onto the platform with changing back to herself an the Altered Dark One's barrier shattering and causing major damage to the beast, making it roar in anger at them with Chipana managing to nab Morgana in time as it flew into the air by using some gripped tentacles as aid, and shattered the platform for them to once again to fall downwards, and land on another one that oddly enough, held Marianne's to which showed her in a silent maiden pose with her eyes closed and the Bog King hugging her gently from behind while also holding onto her weapon like she was, and the smaller circles were of them and the others.
The creature roared at them before they were shocked as it began to shift into a shadowy version of Marianne herself, but hints of the beast as well within the improved form it took, and it laughed even like her before doing a come-at-me motion, but the weapon was not Marianne's but of a demonic-looking shadowy blade.
Morgana felt something was off within this area, but before she could tell Chipana to wait, since she saw the bloodlust within her girl's eyes, her girl charged right at the Altered Dark One's form of Marianne, who stunned them as it merely side-stepped to the right and left to easily avoid the punch and kicks, and casually slapped the ape girl with the non-sharp parts of the dark metal and sending her right into Cassie before the entity vanished, and tried to do a deadly blow with both the entity and Morgana blinking at somehow easily catching the weapon, and struggling to do so.
The entity did grit it's teeth whale shoving Morgana a few feet to make her save herself from falling off the edge of the platform, by Cassie giving a sheepish look back from blasting another light orb at the Altered Dark One, for only for her to yelp as she began to dodge and evade black crescent attacks from the entity waving the weapon in a quick slashing motion at her… For only the entity to snarl and go after Chipana who taunted her by slapping her butt at it, and began to avoid getting a deadly slash attack at her next.
The entity for what felt like hours, but was only ten or so minutes, kept trying to harm the girls in random outbursts and the one attack it used on Cassie, several times, before they managed to do a joint attack beam somehow of light, energy, and some of Morgana's power to send it over the edge, to which they thought it was over… But they were wrong.
The area shook before the floor shattered for the final time, not known to the girls, and seeing the Altered Dark One was soon revealing its secretive true appearance.
It was a massive demonic eyeball within a black mist that took on the shape of an ogre-like giant and with those illusion-based tentacles on the back, and four misty demonic wings. It also wore over the misty-like body, gothic yet pitch-black demon armor that did little to protect the eyeball, and to know that attacks on the arms and legs were useless.
The eyeball shook with a slight powerful shockwave emitted that the trio managed to stay on the floor without moving, and prepared themselves as the entity jumped, and kept landing on the platform to cause shadowy rippled waves to try and shove them off, at least five times, before switching tactics by swirling into a twister and going all over randomly, which they had to dodge and separate from each other on this unexpected attack, and with it leaving a fiery trail behind it that evaporated within a minute and would have caused burning damage.
The entity then used the misty body to fly into the air, and began shooting random eye-based lasers randomly at them a few times before following in a locked position on Morgana, to which, she began to run in circles while the other two dodged the crescent wave beams it try and failed to hit mainly Morgana with, until it got dizzy and landed in the center with a exposed misty hole to the eye.
They took their chances on it, and had to do this very same tactic with the eye choosing someone to chase, randomly, several times until the final hit by Cassie, caused the eyeball to shake and shudder, and disintegrate into nothing with leaving a purplish-floating gem-like heart that shattered into particles, and the area blinded them to see they were back to where things started with the particles before evaporating, healing the area back to normal as well.
End Music.
It was a few days after, that everyone celebrated with singing and whatnot, until a vortex appeared with Marianne and the others to realize that they were getting ready to go home, now… Though what surprised the Bog King, was his sister's insistence of going with them.
"I still think you are not ready to go out anywhere by yourself just yet," The Bog King argued with Nina making the man sigh with Marianne giving him an amused look while holding his hand gently, "But Big Brother! I need to go find out more about what Morgana's teacher told her about what I am! What we both can look into as our race!"
"She's got you there, Bog." Marianne admits to get him to roll his eyes at his girlfriend and future wife, but what they told the King and his mother, with Cassie going with Sirius and his wife, who was going no matter what, with them, as Sunny and Dawn already said their goodbyes and were on their first date.
"I can vouch for Nina and say, she would be in good hands, Bog," Morgana told her friend gently to get him to nod at her and make his little half-sister out at this but was at least thankful with seeing the Plumettes were sending her things to a spare room in the know by Aeroza stopping by, and revealing a bit more things to them of his involvement back then with the vanquished Dark One the girls defeat, of Nina's spare room in the castle.
Chipana did make them chuckle as she hastily kissed Morgana on the cheek and took off into the vortex, and with some final goodbyes and knowing they would be able to visit, left into it with the vortex reconstructing itself into a Waygate for them.
It was a few hours after that, that Chipana decided to confront her mother on things, and saw she was within the kitchen helping the chef cook tonight's meal with knowing that Morgana would inform her and the other girls she's bonded to, of what Belle needed to tell her as soon as she came back lastly with Nina.
Mrs. Potts noticed her daughter coming into the room, and stated gently to her to which did half-perk Chipana a bit, "Ah! Chip! Just in time to try something that the Princess gave us as a recipe based on your latest adventure.." She noticed Chipana looked to be in debate over something, as despite how proud her daughter was in being mature for her age then before, and less trouble at times, she knew when something was on her child's mind. "What is it Chip? What's the matter?" At the end, Mrs. Potts had a hand gently on her child's face to which she held back a smile at the instinctive closed eyes and brief purring Chipana did from that.
Though she grew worried when her daughter shook her head and took a step back while still looking crossed over something, what she asked made her sigh as she was hoping it was for a later time to when her child was a bit older, "Mama… Am I adopted?"
Chipana was stunned with the Chef taking the hint, quietly telling Mrs. Potts to handle the things as the woman admitted to the girl, "I was hoping to have you a bit older to find out, but yes, love. And I don't care less as to how we found you, and myself risking my very life back then with the loss of your adopted father."
"Wait… Risk over me? What happened?" Chipana states in shock to her mother- To Mrs. Potts, as the woman begins to tell Chipana what happened back then.
Years ago, in a rural town further than Bela'Verre:
A younger aged Mrs. Potts or Amelia Potts, was currently with her husband, Richard Potts, watching the night sky as it was perfectly clear, and the sky was very filled with stars galore.
Richard was handsome for his age, like Mrs. Potts was, as he oddly enough, had dark-brown and blondish hair with a handsome face with a gently trimmed mustache and goatee, and wore like she did back then, basic clothing, as they were staff hands at the castle and would soon be moving into it, and leaving their current home, available for others to live in.
"This night is as beautiful as you are my lovely wife," Richard tells Amelia gently to get her to lightly chuckle at her husband's antics at flirting as he have done to woo her years ago, and nodded once with a warm and gentle face with still gazing at the sky, "Yes, Rich, and it is one of the few rare days we both have to be together tonight."
The married couple kept gazing within the starry sky with Amelia noticing a shooting star pass by and amused Richard by her quickly closing her eyes and made a silent wish to it, and though sadly for a moment with recalling their shared news from the doctor within Bela'Verre, that they were a happy couple, but Amelia was sterile to not be able to have children, with recalling the reason was of the accident back then to her midsection to which, she was lucky to be alive to this day.
"I have a feeling as to what you wished for, my love, but you do know we could always adopt?" Richard gently told Amelia while comforting her within his hold to know she trembled in place with recalling things, and with the couple not seeing that the same shooting star was not behaving normally within the starry sky itself and was behaving erratically, as Amelia softly sighed to him, "I know, but it would be hopeful for a miracle to have one of our own, made by the both of us."
Richard nodded before he blinked twice at finally taking note of the unusual star his wife wished on, and made her blink when she saw him still in place and gazing at the sky, and before she could ask she hid the urge to yelp as he grabbed her and quickly moved from their spot, and taking cover as something unexpectedly crashed directly into the ground and caused rubble and debris to be formed, and thankfully, not on their clothing.
After the duo recovered, they saw a slight walkable yet gaping hole was formed to where they previously were, and with something that was quickly cooling off to reveal a strange looking object, more-so to a pure white ball with being not man-made in terms, closer to being described as a bathysphere-like spaceship, and with a large circular deeply red tinted window that could be seen through during the day, and a strange insignia on the bottom of it that was hard to make out due to how much dust and debris build-up was placed onto the formerly clean pod, and it was exactly five feet in diameter in size.
Richard led Amelia to the spot where the device was, and did touch it to see it was gently warm now, from being formerly red hot and was thankful for the night sky to quickly cool whatever it was, off, and glanced at his wife who was still speechless by what this was.
Amelia was grabbed quickly as she accidently activated something as light smoke and steam came forth from the seals keeping the object closed, and with hissing sounds, the lip fully opened to reveal an unexpected site to the couple.
It revealed an infant, more importantly, a Baby Version of Chipana with her tail, deeply sleeping, and with a sphere-based object of unknown origins lying next to her, and she was gently wrapped in unknown silk as a blanket.
"It's… It's a baby," Amelia states in soft surprise as she managed to get the still sleeping babe into her arms gently with Richard scratching his head before nabbing the unusual sphere-like object, before nearly dropping it and stunning the couple by the item scanning them with an unknown tongue before stating in a monotone female voice, "Sentient race scanning complete… Begin transmission."
A hologram soon showed a pretty woman who had a matching tail and was not only athletic but slender, but was very beautiful, and looked similar to Android 21 as a woman with dirty-blond and silvery mixed hair, and emerald eyes, and wore battle-like robes of both, unknown to the couple, Saiyan and some other culture, and was both decent yet slightly revealing for the arms, legs, midsection, and decently around her large chest.
"If you or whomever has managed to encounter my old Saiyan Pod when I was young, and managed to safely guide my precious daughter, then please, hear a mother's plea: I have sent her away to safety as by this message, I have passed on and so have my wife, as we conceived her in ways that would only confuse your minds of whatever race you are. She is very unique and powerful, as to what my wife, the Mortal-Bonded Goddess of which she will not know of until she is freed of her mortal vessel. We hope that this orb doesn't activate, but will, once it senses our full life force is gone to those that find my child… Like me, being a genetic-made of my kind, her tail will only regrow if something would cause it to grow back, so while she is still sleeping, simply pull it gently and it will easily come off with the use of the fluid within my pod, to make her blend into society better. She is rather unique as I stated, as she is not only one-hundred-percent of what I am, but she too, due to my wife, is a demi-godling with unique powers and abilities as I am related to one other of my kind, from the same DNA to be considered as my brother-by-blood and true brother in a verse not of this realm or verse… To which, her power is what most would fear to be used or controlled to cause destruction, and maybe conquering status to any given world if she was used in a way, or worse things. For I am not only a Full Saiyan, but of genetic manipulation, a few other races alongside one to which, secretly, thrived: The Majin. She too, will have them as well within her and her appetite will not cause her to become frail or fat at all, like me… Which she would or should be able to eat normally as well, but at times, she will need to eat a decent amount of food to sooth her metabolism once a full moon occurs for the first few days of a month, until she is old enough to be settled. I know this recording is confusing, but there are reasons for what I say, as I also have my diary for her when she is older, up to the point I sent her away, within the pod alongside a few prized possessions. So please, take care of my Starla…" The hologram shut off to soothe the couple before glancing down at the deeply sleeping babe.
It was about a week later, Baby Chipana, they decided to call her with placing the dead mother's things as per request, into a durable metal trunk within their home, and indeed the solution they fed the babe in a small bottle mixed with milk, made the tail drop easily without pain or effort when she was asleep, and was a happy and active baby to amuse the new adopted parents.
The unusual pod that was called, was placed into a safer location with the locals being perplexed as to where that dent in the earth itself came from, or what caused it, to which the news only came and cone by a few days before they lost interest.
Amelia was gently feeding Chipana within her hold in the rocker they have, and the little girl was gently sucking while falling asleep as so far, she was an easy baby for her age- Amelia jumped when their home's door was knocked gently at first, before growing wary as the door banging harder with it looking like someone was trying to knock it down.
She grabbed her daughter, and took off out of the house without issues with looking back, and was stunned to see it go up in flames by untold energy yet kept running into the woods as fast as her bare foot could, with Baby Chipana looking ready to cry but once they got into a clearing near the one gate after managing to nearly make it to the castle, they were stopped by armored warriors with an unusual sigil, to which she nearly fell onto herself with cradling Chipana, and grew in sorrow as they tossed her husband's reading glasses at her that appeared to be bloody and cracked, and moved aside to reveal a black cloaked person who had the designs on the cloak itself, of taintly-green colored Aztec-like snakes, and a lithe male build.
"Your mate was not very cooperative as it seems, Peasant…" Was what the man hissed out in a way, was fake sorrow as he acted it was casual, and made the now widowed woman, realize they slain him or worse, "As we had to try and track the child down from where he was last located, as she must die or otherwise, she would be a hindrance in my plans, and to someone else's."
"Why do you want her? She is only a child?" Amelia cried out knowing that they got the attention of the servant workers of the castle by seeing someone shouting and pointing at the gates.
The cloaked male only chuckled darkly with revealing a twisted looking rune-blade with a snake's head in the design of a cobra with red demonic-looking ruby set as the eye sockets as the hilt, and the blade coming forth from the snake-like hilt's maw, at her within a swift movement she could barely track, "That, is why it makes it more better for her to perish before she grows into her own being." Amelia froze though to what the person confessed next with seeing they had a slightly long snake-like tongue they revealed, and the glowing amber-like serpentine eyes, "As after all, her mother screamed in sweet sickly agony when I had my way with her alongside those I eventually betrayed when they raided their world, as for I, Snake of the Zodiac Shadow Lords, am my older half-brother's ways further in ways you cannot fathom, Human… Even though I bestowed things to make him progress in his birth-based world as well."
The blade began to charge with black twisted lightning without harming the man, and Snake chuckled with a twisted face under his hood's cloak that Amelia did not see, but cradled Chipana further to know she was about to be slain like Richard, "Pity that I cannot enjoy more sport from you or the babe, but it is what it is, of the natural order of things."
Before he could cast whatever he was going to do to them both, he stilled when he glanced at seeing that, to shock Amelia, as a barrier prevented anyone from leaving the clearing with the land warped to fit the surroundings a bit better, and Snake if he would, would have paled as the hired help he got that were ruthless mercenaries, fell one-by-one in a dead stance onto the ground with soon seeing ash was placed to their now hollow gear, and their souls being sucked right to a woman's maw who snapped it shut harshly after with a glare right at Snake.
It was Khalidia or Death herself, and the reason she was here was not for her own curiosity or feeling she needed to prevent this outcome, but of the deal Richard made to her in a desperate pleading way of sacrificing his valor to be within the peaceful lands, to prevent his wife and adopted child's demise.
To which, she will learn in a few mortal days as to why that is but let's get back to things.
"It seems if you decide to interfere, then I have no choice but to call this task a failure to my own Lord and Master," Snake plainly stated with being irked and more to the female entity who only kept glaring at the Shadow Lord, and he retreated into a vortex within moments he summoned and closed behind him.
Death glanced with relaxing her posture sharply to Amelia who looked very pale by seeing her scythe she summoned to evaporate the gear and whatnot of the mercenaries at knowing who she was, but blinked twice at being impressed by the defiant glare the babe who was awake at this moment, right at her with gently gripping the woman she was within her hold still, to wordlessly state, back off.
"Humph… Impressive little squirt she is," was all Death could state to herself mostly with making Amelia blink twice at the entity in disbelief for, and saw her dismiss her weapon back into herself as black smoke mixed with a mist, "But I kept my part of the deal, as the castle is now considered your sanctuary, Mortal, as it is thanks to your former husband and my own mind, that I arrived to prevent your death today."
Before Amelia could say a word, Death vanished in black smoke with the barrier dropping, and the servants coming out to check to see if she was alright.
Flashback Over, Back to Present.
Chipana could only lay on the counter while standing in utter shock, as not only knowing she was adopted, but now by her mind's view, understood that she was never humane in the first place, and guessed by one of her theories about not being a mutant, was right.
But she was confused when Mrs. Potts gave the girl an old metallic key from around her neck she kept hidden, and blinked twice at her for, "We kept the trunk within the castle in my chambers and the key is the only way to open it. I figured as how you are now, and myself telling you what I was hoping to tell you in later years, I hope you can forgive a woman like me, Chip."
Mrs. Potts was rather surprised before hugging her child who was trying to not harm her with her recovered body showing she got stronger a bit more, "I do, as you had to keep that burden to yourself for years, Mama… No matter what I find out, you will always be my Mama."
While Chipana was hugging her mother a bit more, Cassie was alone in Morgana's Garden area with carelessly tossing a few rare steaks to her girl's meat-loving plants she has that she knew liked her ways with seasoning it for them, from the few times doing so with petting one of the plant heads that gladly appreciated it, as even she was rather surprised how intelligent some of the plant life was within her girl's garden.
The girl stilled with her turning to see if it was her brother or not, but blinked twice at seeing it was Bwonsamdi who was gently eating one of the sweet apples Morgana had grown within her garden fully and brought out the core itself with knowing a few of his fellow deathly friends, especially one such person, would love the apples, and glanced at the blonde, "Why be deeply thinkin' by now, hmm?"
Cassie glanced at her hands and gently clenched them with not being bothered that the Death Loa transfigured his apple core into a slab of meat, and tossed it randomly to allow a few of the meat-eating plants to devour ti in haste, and shook her hands before making the Loa raise a eyebrow as her hands made silver lightning that bounded and evaporated on the ground.
She sharply turned to him as he looked to be free floating slightly in the air and faking on deeply thinking, but was recalling things, "Now dat be dere powah of da mothah I barely seen for few wee years or so, as Eris was rather a crafty little one."
"You knew my actual mother?" Cassie states in utter shock, to which Bwonsamdi only nodded a few times and reminisced while speaking his thoughts, "Aye Mon… She be makin' interestin' deals with me and a few wee folk back in da day at times, and even bring in a few other folk dat bring da party and fun within wee places. She even show off on dat wee power you have, an 'specially her wee shield ability dat kicks in when needin' ta protect her wee self. Shame da law of her world has preventin' on comin' ta greet ya until dis point, but she be in a wee bit of a bind as we still speakin'."
"You mean, my Mom is in trouble?" Cassie says next in a perplexed yet worried tone to which the Death Loa gently waved it off with relaxation and used his power to bring forth another of the apples and slowly chewed it while thinking this time, "Aye Mon… But nothin' she cannot handle on her wee self, as after what she be done, she be possibly on parole in a few wee weeks or so, and made an exception on yer case, as her wee child."
"What does that mean?" Cassie states in a questioned tone to only make Bwonsamdi let out a soft chuckle with taking a gentle bite of the apple, to which to you the readers, is a pure red apple in design yet was two times larger, and had gentle pure white swirls of showing natural sugar within it, in curled designs with yellow leaves and blue stem piece, "Not much to tell ya Mon, but ta wait until she shows up to dis place. You be in power, yes, but you be needin' trainin' to control dat. I bet dat her kin is havin' a wee hay day right now at learnin' of you, and learnin' yer connection with da Golden One yer bondin' to."
Cassie understood with feeling small dread, for some reason, on this, but placed it to the back of her mind for now as her eyes sparkled by the Loa's smirking suggestion, "How about I take ya to a few worlds right now, and do some wee prankin' with Discord. Hmm?"
While the two were getting ready to do so, Morgana sighed within her room with being informed that Belle was going to have her children within a few or so days and Adam was to stay, and she had to open her big mouth of accepting the invitations of Adam's cousins learning that he was actually alive, and wanted to meet them, and was elected to go in their place and knew she would see the babes at least when she comes back, especially knowing that they would be traveling back with her to what she dubbed it as, Beast's Castle.
She was getting around with knowing that both Chipana and Cassie might sit this one out, and not sure about the other's she is friends with or her other girls and blinked without being startled when Aeroza appeared in her room without much of a say, and he looked to be understanding of her plight with him gently sipping that frozen drink of his before doing so, "You still are troubled?"
"I don't want to leave Big Sis alone in her time of need, especially since Papa is going to be at least coming to help her from finally having some free time after so long, of his inventions being sold, and also recovering from Death's trip with him to meet my adopted-by-paper Mama after three months being missing." Morgana told him, to get the man to only nod a few times sagely, and made the girl blink as he waved his hands with giving him a soft thankful look as she guessed he saw what she may have wanted packed, and made a suitcase for her that was portable and easy to carry at least, and told her then gently, "Well, fate has ways of things weaving to not on a planned path. Yet, it is what we can make of our own fates and even destiny, that sets things apart to what we do or think in our current life, Lady Morgana." Of course Morgana scrunched up her face to amuse the man when she heard him call her by the title.
"Well, still… She might need me." Morgana pointed out to only blink in direct eye contact with the man as he kneeled down to her height and stated gently to her to get her to only nod at least once to understand his words he hose carefully to her, "She will always need you as you will always need her, as kin, no matter if they are blooded or not, depend one another as family would… Even if they disagree or worse at times. So you will have nothing to worry about, especially since your trainers asked to return to their homes for the time being by my will on doing so, as a minor reminder."
Morgana nodded as they told her they managed to teach her all they could and hoped that whatever could happen, would teach her further then she has as the last test they placed her through was to face them in a dueling spar, and she won against them a week ago, but that didn't mean they wouldn't be dropping by now and then, that, and Loki was missing for some time and his wife was living within the castle of the time being, from speaking to her before her big mouth stated things.
He stood up with confusing Morgana as he grabbed from his cloak a black flip phone she couldn't get a decent look to fully describe it, and stated 'Hello' into it, and looked concerned before he sighed and stated gently to whomever was on the other end, "I'll be there, just give me a moment with Lady Morgana here." He closed it and placed it back.
Aeroza looked sympathetic to Morgana looking to have an idea, and this perked her up at it as well, "Why not see if one of your pets can come with? I know Iago and a few others are getting bored within Ophis' home after all… That, and perhaps you can convince some of your off-duty friends if they want to see to-'' Here he blinked and she nearly sweat dropped as he asked her, "To what is the place you are being forced to see more kin for, again?"
"The Kingdom of Corona, at least that is what I know so far." Morgana tells him to get the man to only nod with appearing conflicted of a vision of her for only a moment, but placed a convincing smile she managed to buy for once on his face, and told her gently with a few gentle shoulder pats as well, "Well, I hope you enjoy yourself. And hope you can find better time to train in your Aeon Modes as you called them, as they will be useful in fighting or other means, due to who you are, Lady Morgana."
He then made her purposely cough when he vanished into rainbow smoke, and made Morgana sigh to herself as she checked a few more times before going out of her room to get a bite to eat.
Within the Corridors of Darkness, untold location or setting:
Bull was sighing as he got another assignment and was glad his message got through to the girl at least, but stilled and turned to see it was none other than Rat herself.
Rat, as mentioned for her gender, wore tomboyish clothing underneath her own cloak to which, had etches of plain white runes in unknown ways with her boots being low-heeled for eased travel and more, and her gloves being fingerless with having light-tank skin, and when she lowered her hood to reveal teal-colored medium-curled hair mixed with lavender, and a pretty delicate-oval face that held a rat-based eye mask in dull-silver colors with being Greek in design a bit to show her slit left-blue eye and green-right eye, and small pointed elf-like ears as well, and if she did remove her cloak, would have a sensual yet slender hourglass body with a decently large chest size for her five-foot-five height.
"So you have decided to go by suggestion of Dragon, to no longer hide your true gender, Rat?" Bull states to which Rat shrugged and easily caught up to his strides as they traveled into the Corridors of Darkness, and stated in a British accent, "Yep, but I also had to update my clothing and uniform as well as even The Master didn't mind my change of things, with at least him knowing about my true self before I chose to act like a guy most of the time."
"True, as The Master doesn't care to the point as long as we get things accomplished to the goals he sets out for us, and for our group." Bull agreed with them, pausing as they slowly watched a Shadow Demon chasing after a Pure Heartless for sport before resuming their trek within the shadowy area, "And yet, I have a feeling our encounter is not a coincidence?"
"You got me there, Ol' Bull. He is sending me on a quest to find this unusual flower or even whomever may have drunk it, and find out what makes this power tick, so to speak. In this Corona Kingdom, and to see if it could be used or checked as a Keystone or more." Rat admitted with having her hands behind her head casually as they walked when speaking this, and only to get Bull to nod once and understood, and the duo paused with allowing a Behemoth to casually walk by and into a random vortex it summoned to seek a meal or something, and resumed walking as well after.
"He has been getting desperate as of late of at least trying to find one of his thirteen seals of a Keystone, after all." Bull reminded Rat to make her shrug while keeping her arms behind her head, "Not much to prod on the wanker at times, but he does get moody when things go sour."
"Indeed, and you are lucky he doesn't travel freely without a cost, to hear you call him things," Bull softly advised her to get Rat to nod once to know she understood, "And to be careful, as the one group I informed our Master and everyone else, is also looking into causing issues as well, and hope you do not have to reveal yourself as much as you can."
Rat paused mid-step at that, and caught up to Bull within moments with a grin on her face to him, to at least soothe the old warrior for a moment, "Don't worry, Ol' Bull! You know I can be stealthy as Snake could be, too, if I wanted to be, and more crafty than he is as after all, I didn't become my title to not prove that."
With a wave of a two-finger salute for Rat to Bull, she leapt into a nearby vortex that closed up behind her, and he kept on walking to reach his.
