"Odwin, are you okay?" Asked Amity in concern as she sat in her bed with her leg in a cast "ever since grom, you've been acting a lot more depressed."
"Yeah, I'm fine" said Odwin in a tone so tired, it was clear that he wasn't fine. "How's your leg?"
"As you can see, still broken" deadpanned Amity gesturing towards her broken leg. "Now, what happened with you and Skara? She asked about you after the grudgby match."
"Uhh...nothing at all?" Said Odwin with a nervous smile.
Suddenly, a crystal ball near Amity rung causing the twins to turn to it. Someone was calling and quickly crystal ball auto answered...the caller was Skara.
Not a moment after Odwin saw Skara's face, he panicked and shot a hole through the device causing Amity to glare at him with a disapproving look.
"I'll give you mine." Said Odwin aplogetically as he scratched the back of his head. "Look, can we just not talk about this now? It's...complicated."
Amity stared at him in disappointment before sighing. "Fine, but we're finishing this later got it?"
"Yes, Ma'am" replied Odwin with a salute as he rolled his eyes.
Suddenly, shocking the twins, two people burst into the room without the slightest warning or knock.
"Hello, baby siblings!" Said Emira cheerfully, declaring her and Edric's arrival
"The party has arrived!" Ed chirped while holding party supplies.
"What are you two doing here?" Asked Amity raising a brow in confusion as she crossed her arms
"We've heard that our little siblings have some broken hearts-" said Edric cheerfully
"-and legs" added Emira playfully
"So we're here to lift those spirits up!" Continued Edric cheerfully
"You're depressed about grom too, aren't you?" Deadpanned Odwin causing the older twins to groan.
"Yes" said Emira dejectedly as she flopped unto Amity's bed next to her.
"And since we're all depressed, we thought we could party." Added Edric with a smile
"In my room?" Asked Amity with a frown as she crossed her arms
"Yup, can we do it?" Asked Edric with a smile as he clasped his hands together, begging Amity to let them party with them
"Pretty please." Added Emira, mimicking her twin
"*sigh* just clean the room after you're done." Amity tiredly gave in
"Woohoo!" Cheered Ed before giving everyone a party hat.
Odwin silently stared at the party hat in his hand, wondering if she should join before steeling himself.
"You know what, i need to stop thinking about her anyway." Said Odwin with a determined look as he put on the party hat.
Upon seeing Odwin's reaction, Edric declared
"Let the party start!"

Skara was not feeling very good.
She became quite depressed ever since Grom. She didn't mean to hurt Odwin, she didn't even know he liked her; she believed SHE was the one clinging onto nothing when she started having a crush on him.
"Ugh, why did i have to just stare at him like an idiot? I should have said something!" Said Skara before flopping into her bed and screaming into the sheets "i need to find a way to get my mind off of him; at least until i can actually talk to him again."
Suddenly, she remembered something that could help her get her mind of her crush.
"Wait, wasn't today the field trip to the emperor's castle?" Skara asked herself as she sat on her bed "maybe it'd be a nice breather."
Skara took a deep breath and decided to head to school to go to the emperor's castle.
There, she found something that might just help her make up with Odwin.

"Luz, what are you doing here? I thought with being the owl lady's apprentice and everything, you'd hate it there." Asked Skara skeptically while raising a brow.
Upon hearing Skara's question, Luz suddenly got nervous and hid something behind her back.
The two were now still in front of Hexside waiting for the trip to begin and Skara was weirded by Luz's choice to go on a trip to her enemy's lair.
"Oh, i was just, uh, interested in it's great history?" Said Luz with a shrug
Suddenly, Gus joined the conversation.
"Absolutely! We were just talking about this" Gus quickly interrupted with a leaflet for the trip, unintentionally causing Luz to sigh in relief "the emperor's castle has many powerful relics, like an orb from the oracle coven which can show you your best self! And hey, you might like this one: the golden harp."
Skara took the leaflet and saw the relic, a golden harp. She stared at it's powers and abilities for a very uncomfortable amount of time. One of the harp's powers is to clear one's mind and calm them down.
Skara thought she could play it for just enough time for Odwin to not disappear when he sees her. That way, she could talk to him without the harp brainwashing him or something if it could do that.
"Uhm, are you okay?" Asked Willow in concern staring at Skara's paralyzed figure
Skara didn't answer and continued staring at the golden harp, still formulating a plan to fix everything with Odwin.
"I think she's broken." Said Gus narrowing his eyes with a hand on his chin. Soon, he decided to wake her up by poking her.
"Aaaah!" Skara screamed in surprise only to see Gus and Willow confused faces "oh sorry, i zoned out for a bit...heheh."
As Gus and Willow shrugged, Skara began crafting a plan much like Luz. It was time to steal some relics.

"I'm still confused as to how you managed to sneak cake in here." Asked Amity in confusion as she ate her share of the cake
"Yeah" added Odwin "I'm pretty sure mom would notice something this big even if it was hidden with illusion magic"
"Trade secret, dear siblings" chirped Emira sitting on the floor with Ed and Od as she ate a piece of cake
"Definitely didn't sneak it in with dad's stuff." Added Edric prompting Emira to playfully elbow him to the side.
Odwin was...not surprised. "Dad should really pay more attention to-...well, just in general" he commented
"Hey, don't say that!" Emira said in joking anger
"Yeah, how else are we gonna sneak stuff in for parties like this?" Added Edric crossing his arms.
Amity and Odwin stared at each other upon hearing that and shrugged in union.
"Well, now that we're full, who wants to spy on the trip to the emperor's castle?" Asked Edric nonchalantly
"Uh, what?" Asked Odwin in confusion
"Excuse me?" Asked Amity in equal confusion
"We were digging through our old stuff and found one of Odwin's first journals that we stole a few years back" Edric continued with a care in the world, warning frowns from Od and Am "And inside, there was this all seeing eye spell, made by someone called E.B, inside."
"Absolutely not!" Amity firmly said "we could get in trouble!"
Odwin nodded in agreement before continuing "AND the emperor might be able to tell if someone was spying on the castle with a spell. Trust me, i know that."
Ed and Em's respect for Odwin grew after hearing that, believing that he has tried to spy on the emperor and nearly got caught. There was no way for them to know HOW he actually knew.
"Is there no way to get around it?" Asked Ed curiously
Odwin was about to say no before he abruptly paused, realizing he could probably do it and it would be an insult to his obsession with magic to admit he couldn't.
But before he could say anything, his siblings took his sudden pause as a yes, he could.
"How long would it take?" Asked Emira with a mischievous grin
Odwin didn't even know why he agreed to spying on Hexside's trip to the castle, yet he gathered everything needed to peek as much as he wants much to Amity's dismay.
"We can use Minerva's power coupled with Ed and Em's memories of the castle when they went on the field trip to display a clear look into it on this crystal ball." Said Odwin calmly as he set down a crystal ball on the ground "also, Minerva has near immunity to this type of magic so forcing this thing like we're doing right now might break this crystal into a thousand pieces by the end of this"
"Odwin, you just broke one today." Said Amity with a frown
"I have spares. It's fine." Said Odwin as he concentrated on making everything by drawing overlapping magic circles in the air to create an elaborate set up.
Amity was worried for Odwin. She believed he was going through this to distract himself from his problems with Skara (which is why she even allowed this to happen) and while it isn't too bad at the moment, she was afraid he'd do something much more stupid if this wasn't dealt with.
"Okay, i think i got it." Said Odwin as he finally activated the magic.
The crystal ball soon began displaying the students in the field trip inside the castle.
The first thing Ed and Em noticed was Luz.
"Wait, is that Luz?" Emira asked in confusion, surprising Amity who thought she wouldn't go.
"Let me see" said Edric as he picked up the crystal ball "yup, that's her"
Minerva chirped in agreement.
"What is she doing there?!" Said Amity worriedly as her head snapped in the orb's direction. She almost jumped out of her bed while her cast was still on "the emperor's coven could be looking for her!"
"I think i see Skara with her." Added Edric as he continued watching causing Odwin to squeak before hiding behind Amity's bed. "I think Skara is saying 'you too?'"
"I think they're talking about what they're doing there." Commented Emira
"What else?" Amity demanded
Edric immediately began reading their lips further.
"Luz's saying something something curse 'i need the healing hat-'" said Edric before Odwin snatched the crystal for him "hey!"
"Odwin, what are you-"
Odwin didn't reply and immediately made a barrier around the crystal ball as it began cracking.
Before another word could be said, the orb exploded into pieces.
"Oh right, explosion into a thousand pieces" said Edric, paralyzed from shock "that would've been bad for my eyes at point blank range."
"That would've been bad for your whole body, Ed" commented Odwin, also in shock at how close that was. "Phew"
"Let's hope mom didn't hear that." Said Emira before everyone went silent.
Then, after a short pregnant pause from the near death experience, Emira chose to break the silence and ask.
"So, what were they talking about?"
