5. Covention

Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of The White Dragon Warlock In The Owl House! I hope that you guys will enjoy it...anyway, I don't own anything else except for my OC's.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

It was a somewhat normal day in the Boiling Isles as we see the gang standing in Eda's Human Collectibles Stand with said Witch dusting off the table boredly as Volatus helped her out by cleaning off the dust from her stand with his tassels as Luz and Charles decided to pass the time by reading from their first Azura and Draconem book as a curious King listened on.

"Emboldened by the dishonor Hecate had shown, Azura and Draconem lifted up their staff and sword to the cotton-candy skies and shouted, 'I challenge you to a Magical Duel!'," Charles exclaimed while reading from the book as a cheerful Luz pointed at the corner of the page.

"And look! I drew a flip book. Pew, pew, pew!" Luz stated cheerfully while flipping between two pages that show Azura and Draconme fighting against their supernatural foe as Luz laughed gleefully, and Charles smiled in amusement as an eager King leans over to peek down at the book.

"Show me the picture!" King says while peeking over the top of the book as the teenage magic users raised an eyebrow at him confusedly.

"What?" Luz asked as King smiled up at her excitedly.

"Show me the picture!" King repeated as Charles and Luz shared a bewildered look before shrugging as they turned back to King and showed him the page of their book as King looked it over and scoffed as he grinned smugly.

"Hah! I can draw better than that! You know, they once called me the King of Artists!" King says while standing up in the stand as he posed dramatically with a mean glare on his face.

"Wait. I thought you were the King of Demons. Are you just making this up now?" A sly Luz asked as Charles snorted and laughed as he nodded.

"Yeah, most likely." Charles as King deflated a bit by what they said and rolled his eyes as he turned back to the kids.

"Eh, doesn't matter. What's important is that my followers would leave me offerings in fear of me!"

"Well, we can offer you more of this tantalizing book," Luz says with a smile as King beamed and nodded as Luz and Charles were about to continue reading from their book but was stopped by an irritated Eda as she groaned loudly.

"Ugh! Please stop reading that shitty book! Its flowery language is an insult to Witches and Warlocks and driving away all of our serious customers!" Eda yelled while turning to the kids, who raised an eyebrow at her deadpannedly as they gestured at the empty area around them.

"What costumers? The place is completely empty!" Charles yelled exasperatedly while waving his hands around for emphasis as Eda looked around suspiciously and Volatus flew across the area lazily.

"Yeah, there aren't even any other stands around. What's going on?" Luz asked with a raised eyebrow while crossing her arms as a grim look appeared on the white-haired Witch's face.

"This is a bad omen. There must be something horrible happening today."

"Charles! Luz!" A familiar female voice rang out as the magical teenagers beamed and turned their heads as they saw Willow, Falishua, and Gus running up to Eda's stand to greet their friends.

"Willow, Falishua, Gus, hey, what's up?" A gleefully Luz says, happy to see her new Witch/Warlocks friends again as she hugs Willow and Gus while a grinning Charles shared a fistbump with an equally grinning Falishua as his Shadow flew over to wave at Volatus, who waved back as the voiceless magical beings then shared a friendly handshake.

"Not that we don't mind the visit, but what brings you here?" A curious Charles asked as the trio beamed excitedly.

"Oh, something amazing is happening today! It's the annual Covention!" A smiling Willow says while holding up the flier for the Convention as Charles and Luz stared at it curiously as Eda rolled her eyes and gagged in the background.

"Cool...what's a Covention?" A confused Charles asked as Falishua was quick to step up to explain.

"Oh, right, forgot you two are Humans and don't live here. Anyway, the Covention is an event where student Warlocks and Witches get to see all the types of Covens before they're placed in one. There's even going to be two mystery guests this year!" Falishua exclaimed as Luz and Charles perked up at what their friend said and turned to Eda.

"A Job Fair for Warlocks and Witches! Eda, can we go? Please, please, please?" Luz and Charles pleaded in unison as Eda gave the kids a stern glare and shakes her head.

"Absolutely not," Eda stated bluntly while crossing her arms as Charles groaned in annoyance and a disappointed Luz whimpered as she drops down to the ground. "I never joined a Coven for a reason, kids. Sure it's like a fun club for Warlocks and Witches, but you're also giving up your magical independence to be part of a crooked system and become blind weak sheep." Eda says firmly while slamming her fist on the table as Falishua, Willow, and Gus deflated somberly by what she said, and Volatus sees this as he stopped playing around with Shadow to fly over to Eda as the magical carpet nudges her sharply and pointed at the kids as Eda realized what she said and grows sheepish as she looked away awkwardly. "Eh, but, you know, no judgment. In any case, I haven't been to one since Fiorella, Lilith, Shepard, and I were little kids."

"Wait, who?" A curious Luz and Charles asked in unison, causing Eda to freeze as she facepalmed herself for the mistake.

"Who are those people? Ooh, you have a mysterious past! Now we gotta go!" A grinning Luz says with Charles nodding in agreement as Eda composed herself and glared at the teens.

"No, we don't," Eda says as Charles and Luz shared a look and grin slyly as they turned back to her and cross their arms.

"Alright, Eda, you left us no choice. If you won't let us go to the Covention, we will begin speaking the 'flowery language' that Azura and Draconem speaks for the rest of the time we're here." Charles says with Luz nodding in agreement as Eda's eyes flew open in horror/shock by what the young teen says.

"You wouldn't dare," Eda says with an angry frown as Charles and Luz narrowed their eyes at the powerful Witch defiantly.

"Try us." Charles while slowly opening his and Luz's Azura Draconem Book as Eda panicked at this and rushes over to cover his and Luz's mouths.

"Alright, alright! We can go! Just please don't talk like that loser Azula and Drake or whatever!" Eda yelled as Luz and Charles made faces at her mispronouncing their favorite characters' names but nodded as a satisfied Eda lets go of their mouths, and they proceed to run over to cheer with their friends as Eda groaned loudly, and Volatus flew over to pat her on the shoulder comfortably. "I definitely know that I'm going to regret this."

"Yep, totally regretting coming here." A deadpan Eda says as she and the others were standing in front of a long building with a sign in front of it that reads, 'COVENTION TODAY-Alchemists anonymous tomorrow'. "This is going to be a long day," Eda says with a groan while placing her hand on her face as Charles glances up at the Covention Building in awe with Volatus wrapped around his shoulders like a cape, Luz was basically bouncing in her feet excitedly, King looked bored, and Willow, Falishua, Shadow, and Gus were amused with their human friends' reactions.

"Come on, let's go in!" An excited Charles says with Luz and the other kids nodding agreement as they were about to run into the Covention but was stopped by Eda as she stops them by conjuring an invisible barrier.

"Hey, hey, hey, keep your shorts and panties on, kids. Before we go in, you two need to help me put on my cowl." Eda says while lifting up her cowl as she tries to put it on but failed due to her large thick hair as an irritated Charles and Luz walked over to help Eda hide her hair inside of her cowl.

"Ugh, is this cowl really necessary, Eda?" Luz asked as she and Charles struggled to shove Eda's white hair into her cowl.

"Yeah, why do you have to put up a disguise again?" Charles asked while grunting in effort as Eda gave the kids a blank look.

"Hello! Are you two stupid or something? Do you kids think all my wanted posters are for petty theft?" Eda asked just as Charles and Luz were able to shover her hair inside of her cowl but accidentally ended up spilling out numerous small objects from out of her hair as they landed on the ground. "...Okay, maybe a few," Eda says sheepishly after Luz and Charles give her deadpan looks as the white-skinned Witch bends down to scoop the things back into her cowl. "But the big whammy is I disobeyed the law and refused to join a coven. If I'm seen, I could go to jail...again, so that's why I have to keep a low profile and not gain too much attention."

"Maybe this informative event will inspire you to join a Coven," Willow stated cheerfully while approaching Eda with one of her wanted posters as a glaring unamused Eda traces a spell that pulls Willow's cowl over her face.

"Really, Eda?" An annoyed Charles asked with Eda shrugging carelessly as Falishua helped Willow take off her cowl, and the group proceeds to enter the building as Charles and Luz gasped in awe at the sight of multiple booths being set up inside of the building with each of them having large banners representing their respective Covens as several Warlocks and Witches could be seen flying around on their magic staffs, brooms, or carpets.

"Whoa! Was I even alive before now?!"

"I know, right!? This place looks amazing!" An impressed, surprised Charles says as he and Luz glance around the Covention in sheer awe.

"These stands here represent each Coven that a potential Warlock and Witch could join. There are eleven main covens, but there are hundreds of other ones you can join as well." Gus explains to his Human Friends as Willow nods before speaking up.

"Yep, there's Flower Coven, Artist Coven, Big Dog Coven, Small Cat Coven, Voodoo Coven, Tiniest Cat Coven-," Willow says before being interrupted by an incredibly bored Eda as she groans overdramatically. "There's also the Grumpy Coven," Willow whispered to Luz and the others, who chuckled amusedly as Charles leans in with a sly grin.

"You sure there's not an Old Lady Coven?" Charles asked playfully as Luz and Falishua laughed loudly with Willow and Gus giggling as a really pissed off Eda stopped walking and turned to glare at Charles.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY, YOU LITTLE SMARTASS?!" Eda asked aggressively, causing the group to flinch as Eda sees this and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm usually far more composed. I'm just a little bit ABSOLUTELY LIVID!" Eda screamed furiously as Charles and the others yelped in fear before running away as Eda watched them go with a huff, but then flinched as a bald-headed, wrinkly, Warlock dressed in a black robe walked over to her.

"Uh, excuse me, ma'am, but you look rather familiar." The Warlock says while looking between Eda's wanted posters and her as said Witch sweated nervously and looked around as she coughed awkwardly.

"Uh...no, I don't."

"..."

"..."

"...Distraction spell!" Eda screamed while rearing back her leg as she proceeds to deliver a mighty kick to the Warlock's lower region, causing him to kneel down into the floor as the Warlock held his privates in pain while tearing up as Eda uses this to her advantage and runs away as she caught up to the kids.

"Oh, hey, what's that?" A curious Charles asked while pointing at a nearby Bearded Warlock in a hard hat with Conspiracy Monster, who I later found out was named Tiny Nose, standing next to a pallet of wood and pallet of bricks as the Warlock grabs both pallets from the bottom and tosses them up into the air with ease as the materials fall down to perfectly construct a small house.

"That's the Construction Coven, Charles. One of the main eleven. They use power glyphs to increase their strength." Falishua explains with his Shadow shape-shifting his body to become more muscular as he flexed his muscles, and Charles turned over to see the Warlock removing his hard hat to pull off a power glyph from a stack atop his bald head as he peels the adhesive off the back of one and puts it on Tiny Nose's nose as her pupils constrict and a yellow/purple magical aura covered the tiny monster's body as she grinned evilly and screams as Tiny Nose picks up the Warlock and throws him into the air as she laughed.

"Ha-a-a! I'm the destroyer of worlds!" Tiny Nose screamed while grabbing the Construction Coven sign as she tossed it away and laughed as she continued wrecking everything in sight with the rest of the Construction Warlocks desperately trying to stop her.

"Ooh, Luz, I want to learnthatspell." An excited Charles says to Luz, who smiled amusedly as she nodded with a giggle.

"Sure, Charles, that sounds cool."

"Sure, Charles, that sounds cool."Luz's voice rang out as Charles and Luz turned their heads and gasped as they saw a light blue double of Luz ducks out from behind the real Luz.

"What the what?!" An amazed Luz exclaims as both she and Charles watched as Luz's Illusion Double walks over to two Illusion Track Witch and Warlock as Luz's Illusion waves at the group before it dusted away as if Thanos snapped his fingers and erased her from existence.

"Ah, I see that you've been taken in by the allure of the Illusionist Coven, Luz," Gus says while running over to the Illusion Warlock and Witch Students as he grins at the magical teenagers slyly. "We like to use magic with a hint..." Gus trails off while disappearing in a cloud of smoke as he reappears a few feet to the right. "...of showmanship," Gus says while bowing as the Illusion Track Witch and Warlock teleported over to Gus as they posed with an impressed Charles, Luz, Willow, and Falishua and his Shadow clapping for them as Eda rolled her eyes and sighs heavily as Volatus sees this and unwrapped himself from Charles's shoulders as he flew over to pat her shoulder to comfort her.

"Hey, guys." A young boy's voice rang out as the group turned around and saw a blonde-haired Warlock making his way towards them as he smiled at the gang cheerfully. The young boy is a short, 14-year-old Warlock with green eyes, shoulder-length blonde hair with a green streak, pointy ears, a small nose, a sharp chin, Caucasian skin, a slim toned built, and he was currently wearing his Hexside School of Magic and Demonics uniform, which consists of an orange/grey tunic with a cowl as it has blue sleeves/leggings due to him participating in the Healing Track, black goggles placed on the top of his head, an orange scarf, an orange belt, and dark grey boots with orange accents. His name is Kenny Ceddrick, a student of the Hexside School of Magic and Demonics.

"Oh, hey, Kenny." Falishua greeted with Willow and Gus waving at the young Warlock as Charles and Luz looks in between them curiously.

"You know each other?" A curious Luz asked as Falishua nodded.

"Oh, yeah, Kenny is a new friend of ours that we met a couple of days ago. Kenny's Coven is near my Voodoo Coven, so we became fast friends after that." Falishua explained as Charles and Luz nodded before turning to smile at Kenny.

"Well, Kenny, its very nice to meet you. My name is-Holy shit!" Charles greeted before he and Luz stepped back in shock/terror as a sword suddenly flies in and slashed through a gasping Kenny's neck, decapitating his head from his body as it landed on the ground with his body dropping down beside it as Luz and Charles looked completely horrified while Eda, King, Volatus, Falishua, Willow, and Gus looked unfazed by what just happened.

"Oh my god, they just killed Kenny!" Luz started.

"You bastard!" Charles finished while glaring at a random student, who shrugged sheepishly as he walked away, and Charles and Luz turned back to a decapitated Kenny remorsefully before their eyes widened in surprise as a blue trail of magical energy emitted from Kenny's headless body and reached towards his head as it latched onto it and proceeds to reattach Kenny's head back into his body as a bright blue glow covered his neck, and Kenny's lifeless eyes blinked a couple of times as he lets out a gasp and groaned as the blonde-haired boy stood up from the floor and rubbed his neck.

"Ugh, man, that was a real pain in the neck." Kenny quipped while standing up from the floor as Charles and Luz stared at him in complete disbelief.

"I...what...uh...how?!" A stunned Charles and Luz exclaimed in shock as Willow was quick to explain to her friends what's going on.

"Oh, yeah, Kenny told us that he was born with an unusual magical ability to resurrect himself back from the dead." Willow says as Kenny nodded while stepping up to talk with Falishua's friends after making sure his neck was healed properly.

"Yeah, I don't know how or why I'm the only Warlock in the Boiling Isles that have this ability, but it comes in handy every time I die...which is pretty much every single day of my life," Kenny stated with a rather strange cheerful smile on his face as Charles and Luz stared at him oddly.

"Uh, okay, but you're okay, right?" A worried Charles asked as Kenny nodded.

"Oh, yeah, don't worry, it was hard to live with this curse for a while, but it slightly got better after I joined the Healing Track and learned how to heal myself faster instead of waiting a day to come back from the dead," Kenny says reassuringly as the teenagers nodded before they look across all of the different Covens around him and slowly started growing more and more excited as they beamed.

"Man, Acceptance, comradery, and a sense of belonging? Covens sound incredible!" Luz exclaimed with Charles nodding in agreement as he turned to stare at Eda confusedly.

"Hey, Eda, there's something that I don't understand. You said that a Coven strips away a Warlock or Witch's individuality, but, so far, it seemed like everyone is getting along and feel like they belong with their respective Covens. What's so bad about joining a Coven again?" Charles asked with a raised eyebrow as Eda merely stared at him and Luz with an emotionless look on her face before sighing heavily as she reaches out to grab the kids by their shoulders.

"Watch closely, kids," Eda says while turning them around as she pointed at the Illusion Track's Stand and Luz and Charles watched as another Illusion Track Warlock is standing in front of a nervous Warlock, who was briefly seen practicing using his Earth Magic as he then turned back to the other Warlock. "When you join a coven, all your other magic is sealed away," Eda stated bluntly as the Illusion Track Warlock reaches out to grab the nervous Warlock's hand and places a seal in the shape of a mirror on his arm as light blue lines run-up to his arms and face as the Nervous Warlock pales slightly and shivers as the lines fade. "From now on, that kid will only be able to make illusions and nothing else," Eda says as Luz and Charles see the Nervous Warlock trying to use his Earth Magic again but fails as he had lost that ability forever, much to Charles's shock as he took a couple of steps back in horror.

"B-But that's horrible! Are you meaning to tell me if I hypothetically joined the Construction Coven, I will lose my ability to use Fire Magic forever?!" A stunned, angry Charles asked as Eda nodded solemnly.

"Yep, and, since I never joined a Coven, I can do every kind of magic," Eda says while creating a fireball in one hand and a ball of water in the other as she then smashes them together, and then they disappear in a puff of smoke. "That's why I'm the most powerful Witch on the Boiling Isles," Eda says while walking away as Willow, Falishua, Gus, and Kenny watched her go with amazed looks on their faces as they followed after her, and Luz was about to follow them but stopped as she noticed that Charles stood behind and was looking down at the ground with a glare on his face as he tightened his grip.

"Hey, Charles, what's wrong?" Luz asked concernedly.

"I-It's nothing, Luz," Charles says quietly while walking forwards as Luz watched him go with a frown but reluctantly followed him as Volatus flew behind her.

"Hey, wait for me!" King yelled, getting distracted by a piece of food on the ground as the little Demon was about to run after his friends, only to be stopped by a Random Witch appearing out of nowhere as she bends down to place her hand on his shoulder.

"The tea leaves foretell that this will lead you to your destiny." Random Witch says while pulling out a purple/golden pen from out of her robes as she placed it on his hands, and King stared down at it with an unimpressed look on his face as he scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Destiny? Feh! I'm not paying for-,"

"It's freeeeeeeeeeeeee." Random Witch says creepily while retreating into the shadows as King blinked a couple of times before beaming as he cheered.

"Are you bestowing gifts upon me? Yes! I accept your offering! The King of Demons is back!"

"Oh, that panel looks popular," Luz says while pointing over a doorway that was marked with the Emperor Belos Track symbol as it was also flanked with guards dressed similar to him.

"Oh my, Voodoo Gods! It's the Emperor's Coven!" Falishua exclaimed with a beam as Willow, Gus, and Kenny looked excited as well.

"Do you think they'll sign my forehead?" A grinning Gus asked.

"Only one way to find out!" Willow stated cheerfully with a giggle as she, Falishua, Gus, and Kenny ran inside of Emperor Belos Coven as Luz was about to follow after her, but stops when she realizes that Eda and Charles haven't moved from their spots.

"Hey, guys, what's up? Aren't you coming?"

"Yeah, I don't know, Luz, after what Eda said about Covens stripping away a Warlock or Witch's Magic away, I don't think I'm so excited about joining Covens anymore. I'm just gonna stay out here with Eda." Charles admitted with a small frown on his face as Luz looked surprised by what he said while Eda looked like a proud mother as she reaches over to give Charles a side hug.

"Ha, ha, I knew that you were the smart one! Listen to Charles, Luz, the boy knows what he's saying. Besides, out of all the covens, including the useless ones, Emperor Belos's Coven is theworst. I won't be caught dead in there." Eda stated while nodding firmly as Luz looks in between them disappointedly and sighs heavily as she crosses her arms.

"Charles, look, I know that what Eda said about Covens being bad and stripping away a Warlock or Witch's individuality or whatever, but we're still figuring this world out, remember? We both only learned how to use one spell each, so don't think you we should at least try giving a look at all of the Covens before we decide on whether or not we will join one?" Luz asked as Charles frowned and crossed his arms as he looked away before closing his eyes as Charles sighed.

"Ugh, fine, whatever, let's just get this over with," Charles says while walking over to Emperor Belos Coven as Luz beamed and smiled as she turned to Eda.

"Eda, you can stay here if you want but let us go in and decide for ourselves if we don't want to join a Coven, okay?" Luz says with a shrug before running into the Coven as Eda watched her go with a serious, solemn look on her face as she sighs and shakes her head.

"Dumb kid. Doesn't know what she's getting into." Eda says to Volatus, who was floating around her as he 'nodded' in agreement. "But, I should probably be a good Mentor and go after the kids to make sure they don't do anything dumb or reckless, huh?" Eda asked as Volatus 'nodded' again, and the young Witch groans loudly as she threw her head back and closed her eyes. "Ugh, but I really don't want to, though. It would suck...eh, I'm sure the kids will be able to fend for themselves without me around."

"I just saw her." A familiar voice rang out as Eda's eyes widen in shock and turned around as the white-skinned Witch spotted Bald-Headed Warlock from before talking with a Guard as he was holding onto a bag of ice that was attached to where his privates were. "I spotted her and was about to call the authorities, but she kicked me in the dick and ran away-Wait that's her!" The Bald-Headed Warlock says before spotting Eda and Volatus as he pointed at them and the Guard turn to the duo as he narrowed his eyes seriously and began marching over to them.

"...Or maybe Charles and Luz need my help after all. Volatus, quick! Distraction Spell!" Eda screamed to Volatus, who saluted to her obediently as the Witch turned around to run into the Emperor Belos Coven while Volatus flew over to roll himself up and proceeds to smack himself against the Guard's privates and did the same thing to the Bald-Headed Warlock, causing both men to squeal like little girls and fell down on the ground in extreme pain as Volatus patted himself proudly before flying over to meet up with Eda and others at Emperor Belos's Coven.

"This place looks exciting," Luz says to Charles as we see both teens sitting down in a large stadium with tons of chattering audience members sitting near them as Falishua and the others sat beside their friends.

"Yeah, maybe," Charles says disinterestedly while placing his hands behind his back as he leaned against his chair just as Eda appeared as she sits down beside her best friend's son.

"All right, let's see this mess," Eda says just as Volatus flew in to lay himself in Eda and Charle's lap as Luz pouted at her friends, not being excited for this event as she is but then perks up as the lights around them dim and Principal Bump rises up from the stage floor with spirals of green magic as a spotlight illuminating him, and the audience applauds and cheers for him as a grinning Principal Bump summons a mic.

"Hello, Bonesborough! Students ask me all the time, 'Principal Bump, what's the height of magical achievement?',"

"Is it this?" A grinning Warlock student named Mattholomule says while increasing the size of his head greatly with his magic...but ended up losing his balance due to his tiny neck being unable to support his giant head as he crushes the student next to him...which ended up being Kenny as Charles and Luz gasped.

"Oh my god, he just killed Kenny!" Luz started while pointing at the giant head Mattholomule as Charles glared at him.

"You bastard!" Charles finished as Mattholomule smiled sheepishly and grunted as he uses his magic to shrink his head back to normal and winced as he saw the remains of Kenny's smushed up bloody body in his seat but calms down as Mattholomule saw the remains of Kenny's body began glowing blue as he slowly resurrected himself back from the dead.

"Sorry, Kenny," Mattholomule says to Kenny after the young Warlock had finished healing up his body as he waved him off with an irritated look on his face as a guilty Mattholomule looks away awkwardly.

"Wow...I failed you as a principal." Principal Bump stated bluntly as an embarrassed Mattholomule shrinks back from the snickers of other Warlocks and Witches around him. "Anyway, as I was saying earlier, the height of magical achievement is being selected to join the best of the best. And there are none better than the jewel of the coven system and the enforcers of his will, the Emperor's Coven!" Principal Bump exclaimed as three masked figures dressed as Emperor Belos phased up from the stage and stood in front of Principal Bump stoically with their arms placed behind their backs.

"Whoa," Luz says with wide amazed eyes as her friends looked entranced as well while Charles looked to be rather uncomfortable to see the masked figures as the young boy thinks that their disguises look creepy.

"Feast your eyes on this elite force, each member handpicked to help usher in a new age of controlled magic." Principal Bump says as each Coven Guard traces a white spell circle above their heads and one guard produces a jet of white flame, another water, and the third lightning as the three elements come together in a firework that turns to confetti, which Luz, Willow, Falishua, Gus, and Kenny excitedly grabs as an unimpressed Eda leans over to Charles.

"When does that 'elite force' get here?" Eda asked rhetorically while slapping her knee as she lets out a loud laugh, gaining the attention of any nearby Warlock, Witch, and Demons as they stared at the laughing white-skinned Witch oddly as Charles shrinks back sheepishly by this, embarrassed by Eda's antics as Volatus flew off from their lap to cover the boy's head from view.

"Members of the Emperor's Coven have access to all, yes, all forms of magic. Ooh. Aah." Principal Bump says with the Coven Guard now holding the same elements in balls between their hands.

"Oh, really?" A now interested Charles asked while sitting up from his seat as Eda rolled her eyes and lifts up her hands as she begins counting down from three.

"Three...two...one..."

"But!"

"Of course," A deadpan Charles says while slumping down in his chair dejectedly as Eda patted his head to calm him down.

"...Only the best can ascend these ranks." Principal Bump says as the three Coven Guards grab their capes and disappear in flashes of white light. "Someday, that could be one of you!" Principal Bump says while pointing at a random Warlock Student before pointing at Amity, who was sitting below the gang as she brightened up by this and squeals excitedly as Luz and the others glared down at Amity as Eda continued laughing.

"And now, I'm pleased to introduce this year's mystery guests! One of our guests will be the Second-In-Command to Emperor Belos himself, Trooper Bulchra!" Principal Bump exclaimed, causing Eda to shut up and stop laughing as her eyes widened in shock at the sight of a Warlock appearing on the stage with a flashing black magical light as the students 'oohed' and 'ahhed' at the sight of him. The mysterious guest is an extremely tall, 30-year-old man with green eyes, shoulder-length black hair, pointy ears, a big nose, a sharp chin, tan skin, a tall muscular slim built, and his outfit consisted of an eagle mask with a brownish-black long robe, and black shoes as he also carries around a staff with an Eagle Head planted on top of it. His name is Tromper Pulchra, the Second-In-Command to Emperor Belos, Fiorella's younger brother, and Charles's uncle.

"Wait, what?" A shocked Eda asked while staring down at Tromper in disbelief/surprise as a curious Charles and Luz turned to her.

"Do you know him?" The kids asked as Eda composed herself and coughed awkwardly as she crossed her arms and leans against her chair.

"Yeah, sort off...what is that dingbat doing here?" Eda asked herself with a glare as it was clearly obvious that she didn't like seeing Fiorella's brother after all these years.

"Hello, students. I'm Tromper Pulchra, and it's a pleasure to meet you all here." Tromper says while lifting up his hand as he conjured a small magical black construct of an eagle and let go of it as the bird construct flew across the crowd, causing everyone to giggle in delight as Eda rolled her eyes with a glare as Charles and Luz looks in between her and Tromper quizzically. "And I hope that all of you are able to eventually able to cho0se which Coven you want to join...all of you," Tromper says while looking over at the Random Student from before and winks at him as the Student nodded with a stoic look on his face.

The Random Student is a 15-year-old Warlock around Charles's height as he has cold blue eyes, long white hair tied up into a low hanging ponytail, pointy ears, a small nose, a sharp chin, Caucasian skin, a slender muscular toned body, and he was currently wearing his Hexside School of Magic and Demonics uniform, which consists of a grey tunic with a cowl as it has black sleeves/leggings due to him participating in the Magical Construct/Aura Track, circular-shaped clear glasses, dark gray gloves, a dark gray belt, and dark grey boots. His name is Dufroid Dreck, Tromper Pulchra's Greatest Apprentice.

"Applauds for Tromper Pulchra, everyone!" Principal Bump exclaims as everyone cheered for Emperor Belos's Second-In-Command. "And now, let me introduce to you your final mystery guest! You know her, you love her, she's the co-leader to Emperor Belos's Coven, Lilith Clawthorne!"

"WHAT!?" A stunned Eda asked before covering her mouth in embarrassment of her outburst as several people turned to her in alarmed shock before turning back to the stage as a bright flash of light blue light near the ceiling turns into a blue raven sitting on a branch before it flies off the branch as it lands down on the strange and disappears with a loud screech and flashing blue lights as a middle-aged Witch could be seen standing in the middle of the stage with a big grin on her face.

The second mystery guest is a tall, 45-year-old Witch with mint green eyes, long straight dark navy hair, pointed ears, a small nose, black lipstick, a sharp chin, dark claw-like nails, a slender hourglass figure, ivory skin, and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved two-tone dark gray dress, an inverted kite-shaped sky blue gem located on her sternum which was attached to her dress, and dark gray laced boots. Her name is Lilith Clawthorne, Eda's older sister and Co-Leader of Emperor Belo's Coven.

"Hey, uh, Eda? Are you okay? You look paler than usual." Charles says as the young Witch was staring at Lilith speechless, and Charles and Luz shared a concerned look as they decided to drop the subject and turn back to the stage.

"Thank you, all," Lilith says with an elegant tone in her voice while magically sending her cape and mask back into Principal Bump, who grumbled in annoyance as he walked away with her cape and mask.

"Show off." Tromper coughed as Lilith glared at him slightly before turning back to the crowd as she smiled at them.

"Now, kiddos, it wasn't easy for me to rise to the top. I also started from humble beginnings, but now I have the highest honor of enforcing the Emperor's will alongside my beloved boyfriend, the second Co-Leader of the Emperor Belos's Coven, the third and final mysterious guest of the day, Shepard Price Darkflame! Get in here, hubby!" Lilith says as black purple smoke begin emitting onto the stage until it whirled around into a small purple/black tornado as it blew apart and a smirking middle-aged Warlock could be seen appearing on the stage as everyone gasped in shock at the sight of him before cheering for him as Eda looks once again flabbergasted to see him here as well.

The middle-aged Warlock is a tall, 46-year-old man with purple eyes, long dark black hair with a sapphire streak, a small nose, a sharp chin, tan skin, a slim muscular figure, deep long scars across his whole body, including his face as it reaches from the top right of his face to the bottom left, and his outfit consists of a silver body armor with a three-pointed helmet, a long black cape, black gloves, and black boots...basically, imagine him wearing armor similar to Sauron from Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War as Shepard also carries around a Palisman that looks similar to King Ghidorah except smaller as it's named Saber. His name is Shepard Price Darkflame, Lilith's Boyfriend, a powerful Warlock, and Co-Leader of the Emperor Belos's Coven.

"What the hell?! Shepard's here as well!?" Eda exclaimed in shock as she was really surprised to see Shepard appear but wasn't as bothered by it like she was when Tromper and Lilith appeared as the young Witch will admit that he's tolerable to deal with compared to the others.

"Who's Shepard?" Luz asked confusedly with Charles looking bewildered by the powerful Warlock's appearance, as well, as Gus was quick to explain to the humans who Shepard was.

"Oh, Shepard is the most powerful Kaiji Magic-User out there after his father, Geralt's, death. Some people even think that his power rivals that of Belos." Gus says, surprising the duo as they gasped in shock while Eda, who was snapped out of her shock, rolled her eyes as she scoffed sarcastically.

"Oh, please, he may be the most powerful Warlock in the Boiling Isles, but I'm the most powerful Witch in the land! I can kick his ass any day of the week!" Eda stated arrogantly as the kids' sweatdrop at what she said blankly.

"Riiiiiigggggghhhhhhhhttttttt." Falishua says with a disbelieving tone as his Shadow shook its head.

"Surprise!" Shepard exclaimed with a grin as Lilith giggled slightly before turning to address the confused crowd of Students.

"Now, I know what you're all thinking. Why were there three mysterious guests appearing today instead of two like the posters mentioned, but my hubby here wanted to keep his attendance a secret to surprise you all. Now, you have anything to say to the youngsters, Shepard?" Lilith asked as Shepard nodded while stepping forwards as he flashed the audience a smug smirk.

"Hello, my fellow Warlocks and Witches of the future generation. I'm Shepard of Clan Mandalore, and I'm burdened with glorious purpose, just like how you are all burdened on joining Covens. I know this may not seem important to you all now, but I promise you, today marks a very important day for your education in learning magic. Trust me, I know from experience, I have accomplished many things in my life after joining the Emperor's coven. Such as defeating a rogue Kaiju that would've killed us all if I hadn't stopped it with Lilith's help. I hunted down murderers of the innocents who scared said people every day until I caught them. I've also joined the Emperor's Coven to honor my late father's memory which is to help make the Boiling Isles a better place. To hunt down the man who killed my father and grandfather. To fight powerful opponents in glorious combat. And, one day, help bring equality and diversity to all of the Boling Isles. And so, after so much hard work, experience, dedication, and determination, I have finally become the most powerful Warlock in the Boiling Isles!"

"But of course, you'd like to see something spectacular. Allow me to demonstrate." Shepard says before grunting as he raised his arms and dark purple magical light began covering his body as everybody, including Charles and Luz, watched in shock and awe as Shepard slowly transforms into a huge, three-headed, wyvern-like black/white-colored kaiju with two large wings and two tails as his left head was named Kevin while the right head was named Ni. "I... am the dominator, I... am the destroyer, I am KING GHIDORAH!" Shepard exclaimed while letting out a loud roar that rang out across not only the Covention but across all of the Boiling Isles as everyone was blown away by the transformation, especially Charles and Luz as they grew excited and cheered loudly with the rest of the audience doing the same as Eda, however, continued glaring at her sister, who was staring up at her boyfriend with love and adoration as the white-skinned Witch fumed.

"Eda, Charles, where are you guys going?" Luz asked as we fast forward in time and see the group making their way out of Emperor Belos's Covention as an annoyed Eda and a silent Charles walked out of the auditorium with a confused Luz following after them as Volatus floated above the gang.

"I'm gonna head home and wash the con funk off my skin," Eda responded bluntly.

"And I'm going to the bathroom." Charles lied as he was planning to fly out of the Covention with Volatus, but didn't want to tell the truth to Luz as he knows that she will try to convince him to say.

"But we haven't even taken the quiz to determine our Coven Type!" Luz exclaims while pulling a thick magazine out of her pocket as she flipped to a quiz named 'What Coven Are You In?' and holds it above her head as Eda, without even looking at her, casts a laser beam through the magazine and walks away. "Rude," Luz says with a glare while turning to talk with Charles but pouted as she saw him and Volatus walking/flying away. "Double rude," Luz says while sighing heavily as she then perked up and glances down at her magazine as Luz begins reading it while walking forwards without looking. "Ooh, a punky Potionist," Luz says with a giggle as she accidentally collided against Amity, who was reading from her book, as they both grunted in surprise.

"Hey, watch where you-Oh, it's you. Willow's...Abomination thing." Amity says while turning to Luz with a glare as the Human Witch glared back at her. "You and your Abomination Boyfriend got me in trouble with Principal Bump at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. I NEVER get in trouble." Amity says with a growl as Luz smirked while crossing her arms.

"Well, it's a first time for everything. Anyway, first off, bitch, you deserve it because you were totally fine with us being dissected like pigs. Second, Charles and I are NOT a couple. Third, we're not Abominations either. My friend and I just pretended to be Abominations to get into your school so that we can learn magic and stuff." Luz explains as Amity blinks in mild confusion.

"W-Why would you two do that? Isn't easier just to go to school instead?"

"Well, we couldn't have done that since neither Charles and I are Witches or Warlocks. Both of us are humans."

"Humans?!" A shocked Amity exclaimed as Luz nodded with a smirk and places her hands on her hips.

"Yep. I'm Luz, the Human Witch. Nice to meet you." Luz says with a proud look on her face as Amity blinked a couple of times before snorting as she laughed loudly. "Hey, what's the big deal?" An irritated Luz asked as Amity calms down and wipes away her tears as she gave the Human Girl a mocking look.

"Heh, yeah, I'm sorry, but you can't be a Witch. You're just a pathetic, weak Human. What are you doing here anyway? This Covention is for Witches only."

"Hey! I have you know that Charles and I are learning how to be a Witch and Warlock, respectively. We're even receiving magic lessons from a powerful Witch and a ferocious Demon." Luz stated with a glare as Amity rolled her eyes a bit before smirking smugly as she noticed something in the distance.

"Is that your ferocious demon there?" Amity says with a grin while pointing over Luz's shoulder as the Dominican-American Girl turned around...and deadpan as she saw King, decked out in childish girlish merch, walking towards them with two Bakers Witches following after him.

"Cupcakes in my tummy-tum makes the King say yummy-yum!" King yells as Luz blushes in embarrassment and facepalmed as Amity laughed in the background.

"So you'll join the Bakers Coven?" One of the Baker Witches asked hopefully as King simply stares up at her with an emotionless look on his face before eating one of the cupcakes in one bite as he grinned up at her cheekily.

"Nope!" King screams while stealing another cupcake off the other Witch Baker's tray as he then turned around to run towards Luz and Amity. "Oh, hey, Luz! Look at all those offerings-Oof!" King says before yelping as he tripes over his scarf and fells down with a grunt as he dropped his cupcake and a worried Luz went over to help him up from the floor as they both then reached out to grab the dropped cupcake, only for a smirking Amity to step on it as Luz gasped in shock while King looked horrified.

"Oops. That was an accident." Amity lied with a giggle as Luz glared up at her and stood up from the floor as she growled.

"Alright, that's it! It's bad enough that you say that neither my friend and I can't be Witches or Warlocks-,"

"Which you both can't." Amity interrupted snidely.

"...but bullying my friends and ruining a perfectly good cupcake is just too far! Just like The Good Witch Azura said when facing down her rival Hecate at the Bog of Immediate Regret...bitch, you're about to catch these hands because I challenge you to a Witch's Duel!" Luz screamed while pointing at the green-haired Witch as everyone, including King, gasped in extreme shock while Amity remained silent and lowered her head with shadows covering her eyes as she then steps forwards and walks right into Luz's face as Amity lifted up her head to grin at her slyly.

"I accept. Let's set the terms for this duel, shall we?

"Yes. One, get out of my face. You're invading personal space." Luz says sassily.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I was trying to look cool and stuff, but it feels being this close to your face." Amity says apologetically while taking a few steps back as she then crossed her arms and scowled as Luz continued talking.

"Anyway, two, if I win, you apologize to King for squashing his cupcake," Luz says while pointing at King, who was crying because of the loss of his beautiful cupcake as he held the squished remains in his hands. "Three, you have to admit that Humans can be Witches and Warlock too. And, finally, fourth...uh...oh! You have to be Falishua's assistant for a month and do whatever he says starting tomorrow!" Luz says with a grin as Amity gaped at what she said in shock and looks away nervously before a mischievous idea popped into her head as Amity turned back to Luz.

"Alright, fine by me, but here are my terms for the duel. One, when I win, you and your boyfriend have to tell the whole Covention that neither of you are a Witch or a Warlock, and that Humans will never be able to use magic. Second, you and your boy toy have to stop training forever. And, finally, third, I get to date your boyfriend for a month." Amity says slyly as Luz gasped in shock at what she said.

"What?! Why do you want to date Charles!?" A pissed-off, confused Luz asked as, while she was nervous about Amity's other terms for the duels, the Witch-In-Training was absolutely flabbergasted and angry that Amity wants to date her crush...I mean, friend...yeah.

"Easy to piss you off, it's so obvious that you have a crush on him, so I'm going to date him to punish you for getting me in trouble with Principal Bump. Oh, and I'm going to make out with him in front of you...a lot, just to spite you." Amity says while leaning in with an evil grin on her face as Luz blushes heavily and gritted her teeth in anger and frustration as she clenched her fists. "So, do we have a deal?"

"Do it, Luz! For my honor and to not have Amity smooch your boyfriend!"

"Charles is not my boyfriend!" Luz snapped at King before turning back to glare at a sly Amity as she held out her hand. "Fine! We have a deal!" Luz yells as Amity nods while drawing a Spell Circle around her hand as she then shakes it.

"The everlasting oath is sealed," Amity says while pulling back her hand as the Spell Circle fades.

"That's probably fine," Luz says while looking down at her hand with a somewhat worried glance.

"Alright, Human, meet me back inside the theater in one hour, and let's see what kind of Witch you are," Amity says while turning around to walk away but stopped as she turned to give Luz a teasing look. "You know, your boyfriend does look a little bit cute...for a Human. Maybe I will keep him after the bet is over and make him fall in love with me, instead of you. Won't that be great?" Amity asked with a taunting laugh while walking away as Luz fumed and steam emitted from her head as she growled like an angry beast.

"Uh, Luz? Are you okay-,"

"Come on, King, you are going to help me train so I can beat that green-haired bitch's ass! Nobody steals my man!" Luz yelled with a fierce glare as she went over to grab King by the back of his sweater.

"D-Did you just said-,"

"Shut up!" Luz screams with a blush on her face as she started dragging King away.

"Ugh, this blows," Charles says while walking through the Covention with Volatus flying after him as the young teen looks across all of the Covens around him, and Charles saw many Witches and Warlocks signing up to be in Covens and having their magic stripped away as the black-haired teen sighed heavily and was about to make his way out of the Covention but ended up accidentally crashing against Tromper Pulchra, who was talking with his apprentice Dufroid Dreck as both parties grunted in surprise.

"Hey, watch where you are going, brat!" Tromper yelled while whirling around to glare down at Charles, who flinched as he took a couple of steps back and dusts off his clothes.

"Sorry, sir. I didn't see you there." Charles says as Tromper narrowed his eyes down at him and scoffed.

"Well, next time, look where you're going, young Warlock. Don't you know who you bumped into?" Tromper asked rudely with a glare as Charles glared back at him and rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms.

"An annoying old man wearing a bathrobe?" Charles said insultingly as Tromper gaped at him in disbelief while Dufroid remained silent with an emotionless look on his face.

"How dare you, child?! I'm Tromper Pulchra! The Second-In-Command to Emperor Belos himself! Show me more respect and apologize to me this instant!" Tromper yelled as his body radiated with black magical energy as Volatus flew over to float in front of Charles protectively, and the young teenage boy flinched as he took a couple of steps back but glared up at the Second-In-Command defiantly as Charles growled.

"Well, maybe if you show some respect as well, I would've been respectful and polite to you and maybe even apologize, but since you've been acting like so much of a jerkass, why don't you buzz off and leave me alone," Charles says with a growl while brushing past him as an annoyed Tromper reaches down to place his hand on his shoulder roughly and held him in place as Volatus flew over to wrap himself around his arm.

"Let go of me, you filthy rug!" Tromper yelled while ripping Volatus out of his arm as he throws him onto the ground.

"Volatus!" Charles screamed worriedly while running over to check on his magical flying friend as he then glared up at the powerful Warlock. "What's your deal, dude?! Just because I didn't say that I was sorry, you tried to assault me and hurt my friend!? What the fuck?!"

"Heh, you actually call a Magic Carpet your friend? Ha, ha, ha, how adorably pathetic!" Tromper screamed with a laugh as the Witches and Warlocks around them laughed as Volatus looks down sadly and Charles fumed at this, not only pissed off that everyone was laughing at him but that Emperor Belos's Second-In-Command insulted his friend as the black-haired teen grabbed the Magic Carpet and held him in his arms as Charles stood up from the floor.

"Yeah, Volatus is my friend, and I'm proud to say that! I don't care who you are!No oneinsults or hurts my friends! Apologize to him right now!" Charles demanded as Tromper scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh, please. Who are you to demand me to do anything, young Warlock?"

"Well, first off, I'm not a Warlock. I'm a Human. Second, you are going to apologize for hurting Volatus because just like The Good Warlock Draconem when facing down his mortal foe Victor the Horrible...I'm going to kick your fucking ass because I challenge you to a Warlock's Duel!" Charles screamed while pointing at the black-haired Warlock as everyone, including Volatus, gasped in extreme shock by what he said, and Tromper couldn't help but blink at this in disbelief/surprise...before laughing loudly as he shakes his head.

"Really?! You're challengingmeto a fight?! Ha! You're not even a Warlock! How could you think you can face me? Humans can't use Magic to become Warlocks or Witches. It's afact."

"Well, I have you know that my friend and I are being trained to use Magic by the most powerful Witch in the Boiling Isles. Second, Humanscanuse magic! Third, I don't care how strong you are! I will defend my friends at all costs!" Charles yelled while glaring up at Tromper, who blinked in surprise as he looked away in thoughts and hummed as an idea popped into his head and grinned as Tromper chuckled.

"Alright, then, Human, I accept this challenge, but here are the terms for the duel. First, I won't be the one fighting you. My Apprentice, Dufroid, here will." Tromper says while pointing over at Dufroid, who was simply waiting for his Master to stop talking to Charles so that they can walk away.

"Hmm, alright, then, I can agree with this. " Charles says with a shrug. "If you're too scared to fight me yourself, then fine, I will fight your Apprentice," Charles says cheekily as a thick mark appeared on Tromper's forehead.

"Anyway, second, when my Apprentice wins the duel, you will be forced to apologize for your appalling behavior. And, third, you and your friend have to stop your training in learning how to use magic forever." Tromper says with a sinister grin as Charles flinched and sweatdropped nervously as he looks down a Volatus, who was gesturing at him pleadingly to not accept the duel, but after taking a breath, a more determined Charles glances up to glare at Tromper.

"Fine, but here aremyterms for the duel when I win. One, you have to apologize to Volatus for what you did. Two, you have to admit that Humanscanuse Magic to become Warlocks and Witches. And, third...oh! You have to run around the Covention in your underwear while screaming like a madman." Charles says with a sneaky grin as Tromper snorted in amusement and smirked.

"Fine, I will accept these ridiculous requests of yours, Human, because I know that my Apprentice will be able to easily beat you," Tromper says while raising his hand as Charles did the same and blinked in shock as Tromper draws a Spell Circle over it before shaking it. "The everlasting oath is sealed," Tromber says while pulling back his hand as the Spell Circle fades.

"Okay, that was alarming," Charles says with a blink while glancing down at his hand concernedly as Tromper turned to his Apprentice.

"Come on, Dufroid, let's go and prepare for the duel...not that you need it since you are one of the most powerful Apprentices that I have and can easily destroy this pathetic human," Tromper says while giving Charles a mocking look as the black-haired teen narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything as he watched Tromper and Dufroid walk away.

"Well, Volatus, it's time to prepare for my duel. You think I made the right decision?" Charles asked as Volatus shakes his 'head'. "Oh, what? Come on, how powerful can Dufroid be?" Charles asked with a raised eyebrow as Volatus gave him a blank look. "...Oh, shit, I might have fucked up."

"Okay, I gotta get out of this shithole," Eda says with a glare while hugging herself as she made her way through the Covention and was about to look for any escape routes, but stopped as a familiar voice rang out.

"Sister?/Eda?" A couple of familiar voices rang out as Eda stops in her tracks and sighs heavily as she turn around and saw her sister Lilith and her boyfriend, Shepard, surrounded by several Hexside Students.

"Oh, it's been so long since I've seen you last!" A smiling Lilith says while signing something to a fan while Shepard gave an excited Warlock a handshake before both of them walked over to Eda with their fanboys and fangirls following after them.

"Eda, it's good to see you again," Shepard says with a smile while walking over to hug Eda, who actually smiled and hugged him back. "Also, thanks to attending to our Emperor Coven's Ceremony," Shepard says, surprising Eda as he smirked at her. "I spotted you in the stands," Shepard explains as Eda blinks before snorting as she rolled her eyes amusedly.

"Of course you did, you little goody two shoes. It's good to see you again, Shepard. Hey, Lilith." Eda says while giving Lilith a glare as her sister gave her a fake smile.

"Wow, Eda, you changed quite a bit since I've last seen you. What are you wearing, by the way? You look like some sort of trash collector. Oh, right. You are." Lilith says with a mocking laugh as Eda narrowed her eyes at her before grinning as the Powerful Witch closed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Oh, Lily. I just had to see one of the leaders of the Emperor's Coven in action. You know, when we were kids, Lilith was so excited to see the Emperor's Coven, she peed a little." Eda says while bending down to whisper at the Hexside Students cheekily as they laughed and Lilith blushed lightly as Shepard gave her a sympathetic look.

"That-That's all for today." An embarrassed Lilith says while ushering the Hexside Students away as she then turned to glare at her younger sister sternly. "You shouldn't even be here, Eda! You're a wanted criminal with a one trillion copper bounty on your head alone! In fact, I'm surprised that Shepard isn't trying to capture you right now."

"Huh, you ain't mentioned capturing me or recruiting me to Emperor's Coven for at least two minutes. This is a new record...wait, one trillion copper, huh? Really? For me? Wow, can I turn myself in?" Eda says jokingly as Lilith gave her a flat look while Shepard chuckled. "Also, do you really think your boyfriend here can capture me? Ha! It's been decades since our little game started, and he still hasn't captured me."

"Don't get cocky now, Eda the Owl Lady. I will one day be able to capture you yet. You won't be able to escape me forever." Shepard says with a smirk as Eda smirked back at the challenge and nodded as Lilith stared at her sister curiously.

"Anyway, why are you really here? You haven't visited me in years, and yet you're...wait...no way! I don't believe it! You're here to join the Emperor's Coven!" Lilith yelled excitedly while grabbing Eda's hands as the younger Witch blinked a couple of times in disbelief before chortling as she begins laughing loudly.

"Ha, ha, ha! In your dreams, Lilith!" Eda says with a giggle as Lilith frowns and narrowed her eyes at her as she heard her boyfriend chuckle beside her and gave him a betrayed look as Shepard raised his hands in surrender.

"I'm sorry, baby, but it is kind of ridiculous that you think that Eda will join the Emperor's Coven even after years of rejection," Shepard says as Lilith fumed before turning to Eda to glare at her as she crossed her arms.

"Hmph, you think being Covenless makes you so much smarter than everyone else, but while you run from the law like a degenerate, I'm mentoring the next generation of powerful Warlocks and Witch students into the world," Lilith says smugly as Eda frowned and scoffed as she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Oh, big deal, I'm mentoring a Witch and a Warlock on my own and, trust me, just one of them can wipe the floor with any of your prissy little blue bloods."

"Is that a challenge?" Lilith asked with a growl while stepping closer.

"Oh, it's a promise," Eda says as she and Lilith glared at each other furiously as Shepard glances in between the both of them worriedly and was about to speak up when suddenly Luz and Charles appeared out of nowhere and ran over to the group as they made their way over to Eda while Volatus and King had wandered off to do whatever.

"Eda, I need your help! I challenged Amity to a Witch's duel, and I need your help in learning how to beat her up!/I challenged Tromper Pulchra's Apprentice to a Warlock's Duel, and I need your help in learning how to kick his ass!" Luz and Charles screamed before blinking in surprise as they turned to each other. "Wait, you got challenged into a Duel as well?! What the hell, Luz/Charles!? I left you alone for five minutes, and you already got in trouble!" Luz and Charles yelled while glaring at each other sternly as the group was surprised by what they said.

"Mmm, it seems that one of your students has met my strongest protégé while your other student has issued a Warlock's Duel with Tromper's Apprentice, huh," Lilith says with an intrigued look on her face as Luz and Charles blink at what she said.

"Wow, Amity is your strongest student?" Luz asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I think that says more about you than her," Charles says blankly as Lilith ignores what they said and bends down to inspect them.

"Whoa, look at those ears! Are they human? Ha, ha, ha, where did you even find them?" Lilith asked with a taunting laugh while standing up as Eda, Luz, and Charles glared at her for the insult as even Shephard didn't appreciate what his girlfriend said. "Okay, Edalyn. For one day, you won't have to hide from the law because I want to see how good a teacher you really are." Lilith says while tracing a light blue Spell Circle as all of Eda's Wanted Posterns across the whole Covention burns into ashes, and one of the co-leaders of Emperor Belos's Coven proceeds to turn around to walk away.

"Good luck, you'll need it," Shepard says to the group warningly but in a friendly manner as he walks after his girlfriend.

"Come on, kids. Time to prepare for bloodshed." Eda says with a crazed look on her face as Luz and Charles's anger swiftly diminished as they turned to Eda with disturbed looks on their faces.

"We're not going to actually kill our opponents, Eda."

"Yeah, that's a bit fucked up," Charles added in as Eda rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"Ugh, Humans are always so soft," Eda says before grabbing Charles and Luz's shoulders as she begins dragging them away. "All right, kids. Let's start your training." Eda says to Luz and Charles as the trio were standing in an alleyway with the kids sitting in front of the powerful Witch as she clapped her hands together. "Now, I'm coming at you both with a blast of fire. What do you do?"

"Use my Fire Magic to absorb it?" Charles suggested as Eda nodded.

"Yes, perfect. What about you, Luz?" Eda asked as Luz hums thoughtfully.

"Run away?" Luz asks sheepishly as Eda blinks a couple of times.

"...Oh, shit, I haven't taught you two that many spells or how to fight, huh?" Eda asked as Luz and Charles nodded. "Damn, I am a terrible Mentor. Boy, I hope you two didn't make everlasting oaths to stop learning magic or anything. You two would be toast." Eda says with a laugh as both Luz and Charles shared nervous looks.

"W-Well, I may have done that everlasting oath thingy with Tromper and Dufroid, and, if I lose, Luz and I have to stop learning how to use magic." Charles says with a wince as Luz nod sheepishly.

"Ditto with Amity," Luz says as Eda stops laughing and stares down at them in disbelief as she slapped her forehead and sighs heavily. "And, if I lose, Charles will be forced to become Amity's boyfriend for a month," Luz added in weakly as Charles turns to her in disgust.

"What?! Ew, gross! Now, we have to win at all costs!" Charles says as Luz nods, and both teens stared down at the ground nervously as they realized that if they lose, they won't be able to continue learning magic and will never become a true Witch or Warlock as Eda sees this and, for once, decided to be a proper Mentor as she walks over to Luz and Charles and bends down as Eda places her hands on their shoulders.

"Hey, hey, come on, I know that the stakes are high, and there is a 99% chance that you will both lose horribly, but you can't give up now! Your Warlockhood and Witchhood are at stake here! And, I know that you two will be able to somehow pull through the Duels and win. I've seen you two pull off the impossible before, so I know that you can do it. You two are my best students, and I believe in you." Eda says while mentally gagging at how cheesy she sounded, but the Witch knew that it was important for the kids to know that their Mentor has faith in them winning the duels, no matter how ludicrous it sounds as Luz and Charles couldn't help but be moved by what Eda says and smiled at her brightly as they nodded determinedly. "Now, let me teach you both how to do at least one more spell each before the Duels start," Eda says as Luz and Charles beamed and nodded as she begins teaching them how to cast a couple of new Spells.

"Beloved citizens, the Emperor's Coven proudly presents an impromptu demonstration of the sort of Witch and Warlock we seek every year," Lilith says with a smirk on her face as we fast forward in time and cue over at the Auditorium in Emperor Belos's Coven as we see Lilith, Shepard, Amity, Tromper, and Dufroid standing on the dais while Eda, Luz, and Charles are standing below them at the end of the room.

"Today, Lilith and I will have our very own apprentices, Amity Blight and Dufroid Dreck, fight against...these couple of pathetic Humans," Tromper says dismissively with Shepard giving him an annoyed look for his rude behavior as Amity grinned and Dufroid frowned stoically as the crowd of Witches and Warlocks begins cheering for them while also either booing at Luz or Charles or murmuring among themselves confusedly on why a couple of Humans are doing in their realm as Willow, Gus, Kenny, Falishua and his Shadow shared worried looks.

"Ignore them, kids. Just go out there, and try your best...but please try to win or else I will get embarrassed as hell by my sister, but its no sweat!" Eda says with a laugh as Luz and Charles stared up at her deadpannedly. "Alright, alright, jokes aside, Luz, do you have your journal?" Eda asked as Luz nodded while pulling out her journal as Eda quickly drew in a spell circle that tied up Luz's journal around her arm. "There, now your journal won't fall out of your arm throughout the battle until the duel is done. Make sure to use your drawn in Light Glyphs wisely." Eda instructed as Luz nodded before the Witch turned to Charles. "Charles, while you're able to create Spell Circles like normal Witches and Warlocks can, you don't have the experience nor stamina to use your Spells continuously, so make sure to use your Spells sparingly."

"Got it, Eda." Luz and Charles said in unison with an understanding nod as Eda patted their backs and wished them good luck as she floated off to the side just as Amity and Dufroid leaped down from the dais as Lilith, Shepard, and Tromper used their combined magic to create a large multi-colored shield that separated the stadium in half, preventing the others from interfering with each other's duels as Luz was left behind with Amity while Charles was left confronting Dufroid.

"Good luck," Luz says to Charles through the shield as he smiled and nods.

"Thanks, you too," Charles says as Luz nodded before both teens walked up to a confident Amity and a bored Dufroid as the crowd of people cheered above them.

"Let the Duels of the Ages begin!" Shepard exclaimed excitedly as the Monster Bell screamed, and the Duels have officially begun as the kids got into their battle stances.

"Abomination! Rise!" Amity screamed while tracing out a large pink Spell Circle on the ground as a huge Abomination appeared out of it and groaned as it stood up to its full height and roars down at a now scared Luz as she gulps nervously.

"Oh, cheesenuggets..."

"Huh, weird. Why is Amity's Abomination bigger and more powerful than usual?" Shepard asked with a raised eyebrow as Lilith sweated nervously and looked away to whistle innocently as her boyfriend eyed her suspiciously.

"Whoa," Amity says while gasping in surprise that she was able to create an Abominationthatbig and strong, but was able to compose herself quickly as Amity smirked at Luz.

"Show me what you got, Human!" Amity screamed while commanding her Abomination to chase after Luz as the Dominican-American Teen turned around to run away

"Alright, Human, let's see what you got," Dufroid stated blankly while raising his hands as he cast a big black/white Spell Circle that washed over his body and a huge octopus-like black magical construct covered his body like armor as Charles stared up at it in shock.

"Oh, crapbaskets..." Charles mumbles under his breath as Dufroid lifts up one of his tentacles and threw it down at the black-haired teen, who yelped as he jumped out of harm's way.

Running away from the giant Abomination chasing after her, Luz then reminded herself that she has magic powers now and was quick to defend herself by leaping out of the Abomination's lunge and rolled across the ground as she kneeled on the floor and raised her journal as Luz opened it up and tap the first Light Glyph that she sees as it glows yellow and the Magical Human placed her hand on the Spell Circle on the book and slides her finger forward and everyone couldn't help but watch in amazement as Luz fired a small arrow made out of light and it flew through the air to strike the Abomination's shoulder. Shocked that a Human was able to cast magic, a stunned Amity and the crowd of Witches and Warlocks watched on as Luz flipped through a few pages of her journal and begins figuring multiple light arrows that flew through the sky as it strikes multiple parts of the Abomination's body as it groaned loudly in discomfort.

Landing on the ground, Charles yelped as he had to leap out of the way from being struck by Dufroid's octopus construct's tentacle slap and landed in a crouch as Charles raised his arms and drew in a couple of Spell Circles that glowed white just as Dufroid commanded his magical construct to throw down two of its tentacles down at Charles as the black-haired teen fired two torrents of white hot fire that collided against the black octopus construct's tentacles and destroyed them as pieces of black glass rain down from the sky. Surprised that a Human was able to cast a couple of Spell Circles with no difficulty, everyone watched on as an unfazed Dufroid swiftly regenerated his constructs missing limbs and tried to swipe at Charles, who reacted quickly by lowing his hands and firing dual streams of white flames that propelled him into the air.

Growling angrily at finding out that a weak Human like Luz can use magic, Amity commanded her Abomination to attack her opponent as it groans and twisted its head off its body as the Abomination proceeds to throw it at Luz, who yelped in surprise and reacted quickly as she frantically flipped through the pages of her journal while tapping several Light Spell Circles as she did so as Luz proceeds to rip the pages out of her book and threw up into the air as all of the Light Glyphs glowed yellow and the Magical Human created a giant light shield that protected her from the Abomination's attack as its head crashed landed against her shield harmlessly. Lowering herself on the ground, Luz tap two Light Spell Circles at the same time as she closed her eyes in concentration and grunted as she pulled her arm back and opened her eyes as Luz was surprised to see a scythe made out of yellow light in her hands.

Flying through the air, a grunting Charles landed on top of Dufroid octopus magic energy construct as Tromper's Apprentice saw this and frowned in slight annoyance as he lifted up his tentacles to try and grab the Magical Hybrid, only for Charles to close his eyes in concentration as he raised his hands and draws in a couple of large Construction Spell Circles as they glowed pure white and the magical light washed over his body, granting him immense strength and power as Charles grunted and held out his arms as he caught the tentacles in his grasps and squeezed his grip as both tentacles immediately shattered into a billion pieces.

"Things that are free People are giving offerings to me! I love offerings!" King sings off-key as we see him and Volatus entering Emperor Belos's Coven with King being covered with multiple hats, shirts, buttons, and scarfs as the duo made their way over to Falishua and the others. "What did we miss?"

"Luz and Charles are in a Witch and Warlock Duels against Amity and Dufroid!" Willow yells.

"Yeah, and they're totally kicking ass! I didn't know that Humans can use magic, but this is so cool!" Gus exclaimed excitedly while pumping his fist into the air.

"Kick her ass, Luz! Destroy her! Whoo!" Falishua cheered while clapping his hands for Luz as his Shadow waved a flag, with Luz and Charles's names written on them, around.

"Huh, oh, yeah, kind of forgot that the whole Duel thing is going on," King commented with a blink while sitting down next to the kids as Volatus hovered above them. "Still, I hope Luz and Charles will win."

"Most likely not," Kenny says with a shrug, surprising everyone as the group turned to glare at him in anger and disbelief as Kenny sees this and was quick to raise his hands in surrender. "I'm sorry for insulting your friends and stuff, but come on, Amity and Dufroid are like two of the top Students in Hexside. They're going to beat Luz and Charles with ease, even if they can use magic," Kenny says matter-of-factly as King narrowed his eyes at him angrily.

"Oh, yeah? Alright, let's make a bet then. If Charles and Luz wins, you have to give me all of your offerings from the Covention, and if Luz and Charles lose, I will have to give you all my offerings."

"Deal," Kenny says with a smirk while shaking hands with King as everyone then turned back to the fight.

Gripping her new weapon tightly, a determined Luz runs forwards as Amity's Abomination groaned loudly and tries to throw down a punch at her, but the Dominican-American teenage girl was able to narrowly avoid its punch and proceeds to slice off his thumb as Luz then grunted and lets out a battle cry as she slices off one of the Abomination's legs, causing it to groan and flail around as it loses its balance and tilted backwards as it begins falling down and Luz grins at this before gasping as she saw that the Abomination was falling down towards a wide-eyed Amity, who was too stunned and scared to move as Luz reacted quickly and her face grew serious as she ran over to the green-haired girl.

"Amity! Look out!" Luz screamed worriedly while leaping over to tackle the green-haired Witch onto the floor as the brown-haired teenager then swiftly opened up her book and nervously flipped through her pages as Luz was able to find the new Protection Spell Glyph that Eda had taught her earlier and taps it with her finger, causing it to glow yellow as Luz then grunted and waved her hand around as she created a bright yellow energy shield around her and Amity as the Abomination crashed landed against the shield and laid on it as the energy shield begins cracking and a sweating Luz gritted her teeth as she held out her hands and magically fixed up the cracks as she struggled to keep up the shield.

With his Construction Magic disappearing, Charles lowers his arms and cast dual Fire Spells that propelled him into the air and twirled around in mid-air to dodge Dufroid's tentacle swipes as Charles threw a couple of more fireballs at Tromper's Apprentice, but his white fireballs harmlessly bounced off Dufroid's octopus-like constructs as Charles cursed before grunting in pain as the white-haired Warlock was able to finally strike him with his energy tentacles and sends a grunting Charles falling onto the ground as he rolled around and groaned as the Magical Hybrid sat up from the floor and rubs his head as Dufroid's octopus energy construct stoically slithered over to him.

"Uh, Ravenclaw? Things seem to be getting out of control. Shouldn't we stop this?" Shepard asked Lilith, worried for Charles and Luz's safety as Lilith shakes her head with a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, Hubby, everything will be okay."

"Yeah, so why don't you be quiet and shut up. Things are getting good." Tromper says with a sadistic smirk on his face as Shepard and Lilith turned to glare at him for what he said.

"Ugh, maybe I should've helped out the kids by cheating after all...I mean, come on, kids! You can do it! You can beat them! Just believe!" Eda cheered weakly with a nervous laugh after she noticed King, Volatus, Falishua, and co, minus Kenny, glaring down at her.

"How is this possible?! How can you use magic?! How can your boyfriend use cast magic like us?! What's your endgame?!" An angry Amity asked while laying below a grunting Luz, whose arms were trembling violently as it was very obvious that Luz was trying her very best to not bring down the shield.

"Magic, I improvised, don't know, mostly not dying and winning the duel so that my friend and I can continue training on how to use magic and for you to not kiss Charles!" Luz grunted out while breathing heavily as more and more cracks appeared on her shield due to the Abomination's weight and size as Amity, who was oblivious to this due to being blinded by her anger, glared up at Luz with a furious expression on her face.

"Get off me!" Amity yelled while swiping at Luz, who dodged her strike as the green-haired Witch had unintentionally commanded her Abomination to raise its hand and swiped below at them as its fist collided against Luz's energy shield and shattered it as the grunting Human Witch was smacked away and crashed landed onto the floor as Luz groans in pain. Surprised by what she did, Amity then yelped in fear as her Abomination begins falling down on the young Witch, and a screaming Amity was forced to scurry out of the way as the Abomination crashed landed onto the floor, only a few inches from hitting a panting Amity as she placed her hand on her beating heart.

"Ugh, ow." Charles groaned in pain while sitting up from the floor as he rubs his head and turned his head as his eyes widened in shock and horror at the sight of Amity's Abomination breaking apart Luz's energy shield as it slapped her away and sends the yelping Luz crashing against the ground as the bruised, whimpering teenage girl laying on the ground, seemingly lifeless. "Luz!" Charles screamed as his worried expression was quickly replaced with rage and anger as Charles gritted his teeth and fumed as his whole body began radiating with a glowing white light.

"What's this?" A confused Tromper asked with the crowd of Witches and Warlocks murmuring in confusion as Charles grunted and lowered his head as white glowing lines began appearing on his body and his Birthmark glowed brightly as Charles raised his head and everyone saw that his sclera becomes black and his iris becomes glowing silver as Charles growled. "What the hell?!" A shocked Tromper asked, recognizing the type of magic that Charles was using anywhere as he gaped in disbelief. "Can it be? I-is he..." Tromper trails off as he glances down at Charles and his eyes widen at the sight of Charles's Birthmark as Tromper gasped. "No way, it IS him. My sister's brat!" Tromper says with a glare as he growled.

"I can't believe it! Charles has finally unlocked his mother's latent magical ability!" A stunned Eda exclaimed with her jaws dropped in awe as Lilith and Shepard looked surprised by what they saw as well and shared a look as they nodded stoically.

"Whoa! What is this type of magic!? I've never seen anything like this before!" Falishua exclaimed in amazement and confusion with his friends sharing the same sentiment as a silent King turned to Magic Carpet, who nodded seriously as both of them realized what was going on.

"What is that?!" Amity asked in disbelief and shock, being able to feel Charles's magic even though the barrier as the glowing Hybrid Teen slowly turned to her and glared at her furiously as Amity flinched and scooted away nervously as a stoic Charles begins walking over to her and approached the barrier as he glared at it and raised his fist as Charles was about to try and smash it apart, but was stopped by Dufroid as he slithered over to confront him.

"Your fight is with me, Human. Not her." Dufroid says with a blank glare but was sweating nervously by the sheer raw power that Charles was showing as the black-haired Warlock slowly turned to him and glared fiercely as he turned to him and cracked his knuckles as Charles suddenly disappeared from sight. "Huh? Where did he go?"

"Dufroid! Look up!" Tromper warned as Dufroid tensed up and looked up as he gasped sharply at the sight of a still glowing Charles standing upside down on the roof of the stadium, and the powered up teenager growled lightly as Charles crouches down and leaps down from the floor as he flew down towards Dufroid, who snapped out of his shock to try and swipe at him with his energy tentacles, only for a pair of glowing white runes to appear in his hands as Charles closed his eyes in concentration and grunted as he held out his arms and fired a large wave of white magical energy out of his hands as it zooms down and easily destroyed Dufroid's energy tentacles as the huge magical blast collided against Tromper Apprentice's octopus energy construct and Dufroid sweated in effort as he raised his hands and struggled to keep up his construct and not have it destroyed by the surprisingly powerful Human.

"Ugh, everything hurts." A groaning Luz says, waking up from her unconscious state as she sat up from the floor and rubs her head as Luz looks up and gasped as she saw her powered up best friend blasting a slightly worried Dufroid while displaying a new type of magical ability that was unknown to her. "Charles..." Luz breathes out in shock and awe by her friend's magical power before composing herself as she noticed that Amity and her Abomination were too distracted by Charles and Dufroid's fight to notice that Luz woke up as the Dominican-American narrowed her eyes at the green-haired Witch, angry for what happened earlier as she stood up from the floor and was about to continue their fight, but stopped as Luz noticed that there was a Power Glyph adhesive attached to the back of Amity's neck.

"What the-Wait a minute..." Luz says while narrowing her eyes suspiciously at the Power Glyph Adhesive attached to Amity's neck as Luz remembered the Construction Coven demonstration from earlier and immediately figured out why Amity's Abomination seemed more powerful than usual as an idea popped into her head, and Luz grinned as she held out her arm that her journal attached to it and opened it as she flipped through the pages before finding a page with a Light Glyph planted on it as Luz taps it and it glows yellow as she took a deep breath. "Alright, Luz, it's now or never. Be careful, or else you will become a murderer." Luz says to herself with fierce determination while aiming her journal at a distracted Amity as she placed her hand on the page and slides it forward as the young teen sends a small arrow made out of light that flew through the air, and it narrowly zoomed past Amity's neck as it cuts the Power Glyph Adhesive in half.

"Ow! Hey!" Amity screeched while placing her hand at the back of her bleeding neck as her eyes widened at the sight of the broken half of the Power Glyph Adhesive falling down to the ground, and the green-haired girl blinked in confusion/shock before gasping as Amity saw her Abomination letting out a loud roar and shrinking down to the size of a toy as a smirking Luz went over to step on it.

"Do you yield?" Luz asked while placing her hand over her journal as Amity frowned and gritted her teeth at her in frustration but sighed heavily as she raised her hands in surrender.

"Y-Yes, I...yield." A defeated Amity says as Luz nodded in satisfaction and lowered her journal of Light Glyphs.

"W-What is this power?!" A disbelief Dufroid asked, looking incredibly nervous and scared for the first time throughout the whole chapter as an angry Charles continued blasting him with his magical white energy as numerous cracks began appearing on Dufroid's octopus-like construct and Tromper's apprentice struggled to hold back Charles as the black-haired teen glared down at him and joined his hands together as he lets out a battle cry and fired a huge magical white energy blast down at Dufroid's energy magical construct and instantly shattered it apart as a huge explosion rang out. Groaning in pain, Dufroid shakily got up from the floor as he looks up, and his eyes widened a bit as he saw a glaring Charles standing above him with his glowing hand aiming at his face as Dufroid sweated nervously by the sight of it and lowered his head as he sighs heavily.

"I yield," Dufroid says defeatedly as Charles nodded stoically in satisfaction, and the multi-colored energy shield dividing the stadium was dropped down as the black-haired teen was about to make his way over to Luz, only to groan as his body suddenly grows weak and stopped glowing as Charles closed his eyes and fell down onto the ground tiredly.

"Charles!" Luz yelled worriedly while running over to her friend as Shepard blinked at this in pure disbelief, absolutely surprised that Luz and Charles actually won the fight as he turned over to Lilith and Tromper, who looked absolutely furious and disappointed by the outcome as Shepard shakes his head and coughed as he turned back to the crowd.

"The Humans, Luz and Charles, win!" Shepard screamed, snapping the crowd out of their shock as they proceed to cheer for Luz and Charles, including King, Magic Carpet, Falishua, and the others as they clapped excitedly for their friends' victory.

"Alright, bub, pay up," King says while turning to Kenny as he raised his pay and the Immortal Warlock grumbled under his breath as he handed all of his accessories to him.

"Charles, are you okay?" Luz asked while walking over to help her friend up to his feet as Charles groaned and opened his eyes, revealing that they had morphed back to normal as the black-haired teen gave her a reassuring look.

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay, just a bit tired. How about you? You were hit pretty hard by that Abomination." Charles says while eyeing Luz worriedly as she smiled at him weakly and shrugged.

"Don't worry, Charles, I'm fine. Just bruised is all." Luz says as Charles sighs in relief and nodded as Luz was about to ask him about the new power that he had used earlier, only for her and her friend to grunt in surprise as a grinning Eda ran over to place her arms around the kids' shoulders.

"Ha, ha! I knew that you two were going to win! I had no doubts whatsoever!" Eda exclaimed proudly as Luz and Charles beamed at her praise happily, not noticing that Volatus was giving Eda an unbelieving look as the Powerful Witch shooed him away.

"This is impossible!" Lilith yelled as she, Shepard, and Tromper jumps down from the dais and ran over to the group as Eda's older sister glared at her. "There's no way that your Protégé was able to beat my protégé! You must've cheated somehow like you always do!" Lilith protested while stomping her foot on the ground as Eda gave her a taunting look and crossed her arms.

"Well, hate to break it to you, sis, but for once, I didn't cheat at all. The kids won't let me after I proposed to help them out by placing magical mounds all across the stadium, but Luz and Charles are too much of a goody-two-shoes to do that, so my students were able to beat your student as well as Tromper's student all on their own, so ha!" Eda says while laughing mockingly at an angry Lilith and Tromper as they were about to speak up but stopped as Shepard spoke up.

"What's this?" A suspicious Shepard asked as everyone turned to him and saw him crouched down on the ground as he picked up the broken halves of the Power Glyph Adhesive.

"Oh, that's the Power Glyph from the Construction Coven. I saw it attached to Amity's neck when we were fighting. I figured that was why her magic was more powerful than normal so I cut it in half with my light arrow. It was sick." Luz says with her and Charles sharing a high five as the crowd, however, eyes widened at what she said in pure shock and gasped sharply.

"She cheated!" Willow whispered-yelled to her friends, who were absolutely surprised by what they had just seen as Falishua, however, was laughing up a storm.

"Ha, ha! Little Miss Perfect cheated! Ha, ha, this is too rich!" Falishua laughed as his Shadow did the same.

"Lilith...why?" A disappointed Shepard asked while turning to Lilith with everyone else doing the same as the dark navy-haired woman remained silent and looked away nervously as she gulped.

"Well...I...uh..."

"Ah-ha! Yes, yes, yes-yes-yes! You cheated! Perfect, prissy Lilith cheated!" Eda exclaimed while laughing at Lilith's face as she then turned towards Luz and Charles and bends down as the white-haired Witch hugs them, much to their surprise as they eyed their Magical Mentor oddly. "Ha, ha, thank you two so much for dragging me into this shithole! Hot damn, I love Coventions now!" Eda shouted, never feeling this happy before in her life, as she lets go of her students and begins doing a victory dance.

"Wow, Lilith, using a Power Glyph from the Construction Coven to give your student more power and cheat? Emperor Belos won't be happy to hear this." Tromper says while shaking his head in shame of Lilith's actions as she looks down somberly before growing angry as Lilith glared at Tromper.

"Hey! Your Apprentice still lost to a Human, Tromper! Do you really think that Emperor Belos is going to be happy to hear about that?!"

"No, but at least my Apprentice is not a stinking weakling who was forced to cheat to win a Duel against a Human." Tromper shot back, causing Lilith to shrink back sheepishly as the Warlock then turned to Dufroid. "Still disappointed that you lost, though. I'm going to have to punish you by giving you more training and studying."

"Dang it." Dufroid cursed blankly.

"B-B-But I only cheated because I thought that my little sister would cheat!"

"But, I didn't! For once, I played fair while you little miss perfect, who always nagged me and my friend about following the rules, decided to cheat! Welcome down to my level! Ha, ha, this is the greatest day of my life! I can't wait for everyone in the Boiling Isles to find out about this!" Eda taunted as a thick mark appeared on Lilith's forehead, and Shepard walked over to comfort her, even though he was heavily upset and angry with Lilith's actions.

"Well, a deal is a deal, Amity. You lost, so now you have to own up to your part of the deal." A smirking Luz says while walking over to Amity, who had remained silent as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"B-But, I didn't...I don't know why she...I didn't..." Amity mumbles under her breath before tearing up as she turned around to run away, much to Luz's surprise as she watched her go confusedly and a little bit worriedly as Luz then turned to her best friend.

"Hey, I have to deal with Amity for a bit. Be right back." Luz says as Charles nodded and the Dominican-American Teen begins running out of the stadium to chase after Amity.

"Well, old man, I was able to beat your Apprentice, so it's time for you to hold up your end of the deal." A smirking Charles says to Tromper, who glared at him as he fumed but sighed heavily as Tromper turned to the crowd of Warlocks and Witches.

"Everyone, as much as this pains me to say, but...Humanscanuse Magic to become Warlocks and Witches, and...ugh...I would like to apologize for hurting this kid's Magic Carpet earlier. It was wrong of me to hurt his friend." Tromper says through gritted teeth, feeling completely embarrassed for what he said as Volatus and King flew down to the stadium as Charles rubs his magical flying friend happily before turning to Tromper to nod at him in satisfaction.

"Good, but did you forget thelastpart of our agreement?" Charles says with a sly grin as Tromper blushes heavily and growled but complies with the terms of the duel as he begins stripping himself down to his underwear, much to everyone's shock and embarrassment as all of the Witches were forced to close their eyes.

"Ugh, this is the worst day of my life," Tromper mumbles to himself angrily before tracing out a Spell Circle around Charles's arm as he shook it, and their hands glowed briefly as the circle then disappears. "The oath is unbound. You can continue training how to be a Warlock with your girlfriend." Tromper spat out in disgust before taking a deep breath as he made his way out of the stadium and started running around the Covention while screaming like a madman.

"Okay, seeing Tromper in his underwear was not one of the things that I wanted to see today." A disgusted Shepard says with a green-faced Lilith nodding in agreement as a dancing Eda passed by them, and the dark navy-haired Witch glared at her younger sister as she huffed.

"Knock it off! You're making a scene!" Lilith hissed as Eda promptly ignores her and continued making goofy dances before whirling around to point at Lilith mockingly

"Ha, ha, you cheated! Hey, where's the Rhyming Coven? What rhymes with 'cheated'?"

"Stop acting like a goddamn child! You're forty-three years old, for Titan's sake!"

"Shhh! Don't tell the readers that! I had to pay a lot of money to Vgn for him to lie about my age to make me look younger!" Eda whispered-yelled at her older sister angrily before calming down as she then smirked at a glaring Eda tauntingly. "Anyway, don't get heated, just because you were defeated, you're so self-conceited that you can't see that your ways of thinking are obsoleted!" Eda rhymed as Shepard snorted in amusement at her antics while Lilith looks unamused as she steps forward to glare at her sister fiercely.

"Rhyme...one...more...thing...I dare you!"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm done...because my rhymes are depleted!"

"THAT'S IT!" Lilith screamed while magically summoning her staff as she twirled it around, and a circle of blue flames occurred as she blasted a stream of blue fire at Eda.

"Oh," Eda commented curiously as the blast of energy connected against her chest, causing her to grunt as she was sent flying backwards and collided against the wall behind the dais as a smoke cloud occurred.

"Whoa!" Charles yelped in shock and worry with Willow, Gus, Falishua, his Shadow, and Gus gasping in surprise as Volatus, King, and Shepard looks unfazed by what they have seen as the dust cloud disappeared and Eda could be seen splayed against the wall as she smirked cockily.

"There she is!" Eda exclaimed in glee and excitement, not fazed by her older sister's attack at all as she leaps down to the ground and summons her own staff as Eda spins it in a circle...only for it to fly out of her hand and clatter on the ground as an embarrassed Eda picks it back up before letting out a loud battle cry as she sends a burst of orange flames at Lilith, who grunted and sends one back as both beams collided against each other and a beam war occurred. Meanwhile, outside, we see Luz running out of Emperor Belos Coven as she looked around and saw Amity sulking in a dark corner next to the bathrooms.

"Hey, what gives, Amity? Just because you lost, it doesn't mean that you have to..." Luz says before trailing off as she noticed that Amity had her head hanged low and her body was trembling as she was crying. "Hey, what's wrong?" Luz asked, her anger diminishing and replacing with empathy as she walked over to the green-haired Witch.

"Ugh, seriously? Just leave me alone." Amity ordered with a glare while turning around so that Luz will not see her cry as the Dominican-American Teenage Girl gave her a sympathetic look and sighs as she crossed her arms.

"Look, Amity, if this is about the Duel-,"

"It's notjustabout the Duel, Human! It's everything!" Amity yelled while standing up from the floor as the red-eyed teenage girl glared at Luz. "First, you and your boyfriend embarrassed me at school, then at the Covention, and now I found out that you reallycanuse Magic?! Why is everything not going my way lately!?"

"Well, yeah, but-,"

"You made me look like a fool in front of the Emperor's Coven! My future! You think it's so easy to be a Witch, but I have been working my ass off to get to the top! And yet, you came in, a Human who somehow has magical powers was able to defeat me?! What kind of bullshit is that!? You are not a Witch! A Witch works her whole life to get as powerful as she is now! What work have you done?! Prancing around like a jackass!? I want you to say it!"

"S-Say what?" Luz asked with a raised eyebrow as Amity pointed at her furiously.

"Say that you're not a Witch! You haven't earned your power like I have, so say that you're not a Witch! Say it!" Amity ordered as Luz stared at her in disbelief and shock. Back with Eda and Lilith, we see both of them still doing their beam war as both Witches' magical power seemed to be evenly matched and glared at each other as they suddenly gasped at the sight of a glaring Shepard running forward and summoned his Palisman as he twirled it around and grunted as Shepard trusted his staff forwards and fired a blast of black magic as it collided against Eda and Lilith's beam of war and a huge white explosion occurred that separated the trio away from each other.

"Ah, coming into save your girlfriend and stop the fight, have you?" Eda asked Shepard cheekily as he turned to her and shakes his head with a grin.

"Yes and no. I'm here to help Lilith defeat you, so eat dirt Eda the Owl Lady! AHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!" Shepard laughed crazily while twirling around his staff as he then slammed it on the ground, and an Earth Glyph appeared below his feet as three giant pillars of earth shot out from the ground and zoomed down towards Eda, who smirked as she chuckled.

"Ha, ha, classic Shepard," Eda says amusedly while swinging her staff forward as she created a big orange energy wave that destroyed the earth pillars, but it was a part of Shepard's plan as Lilith grunted and blasted a wave of blue fire at Eda as they collided against her and the Powerful Witch yelped in surprise as she was sent flying off her feet and pieces of blue flames nearly collided against the crowd of scared, shocked Warlocks and Witches, causing them all of them to scream in fear and run away as a few fireballs collided against Kenny and the young Warlock could only scream in pain as he was burnt to death.

"Oh my god! Lilith killed Kenny!" Gus screamed.

"You bitch!" Willow shouted angrily before yelping as Falishua grabbed her arm, and Shadow did the same with Gus as they pulled their friends out of harm's way, and the group made their way out of the stadium.

"Alright, I've accessed the situation, and we're leaving. Let's go, guys." Charles says while leaping onto Volatus as the Magic Carpet flew him and King out of Emperor Belos's Coven.

"...and all you ever did was complain about people joining Covens and shit! And you can fight, but you can't think, sister!" Lilith yelled while firing multiple blue fireballs at Eda, who deflected her magical blasts away with ease as she smirked.

"Yeah, but you can't do either," Eda responded savagely before dodging Shepard's magical energy blast as she whirled around and saw Lilith's Boyfriend rushing towards her while casting a spell as Shepard used his illusion magic to create three copies of himself.

Narrowing her eyes, Eda leaped out of the way to avoid Shepard 1's punch as she did a backflip to avoid Shepard 2's energy blast and landed on her feet as Eda then whirled around to use her staff to block Shepard 3's staff swipe, and both opponents struggled to overpower each other as they grunted and Eda realized that the fourth Shepard was missing as she realized what was going to happen and used her magic to teleport herself out of the way just as the real Shepard appeared as he tried to blast the spot from where Eda was and grumbled in annoyance at missing his shot. Teleporting above the real Shepard, Eda twirled her staff around as she fired multiple orange lighting blasts that flew across the stadium and strikes the Illusion Shepards, killing them all as Eda then landed on the ground and jumped forwards to try and strike one of the co-leaders of Emperor Belos's Coven in the back, only to be stopped by Lilith as she casted a large stream of fire that separated her sister from her boyfriend.

Landing on the ground, Eda whirled around to glare at her sister as she saw her older sister Lilith spinning around her staff and created another Spell Circle as a burst of blue magical energy shot out of it and flew towards Eda, who takes a few steps back and spins around as she draws in a Spell Circle on the ground as Eda then lifts her hand up and created a growing pillar of wood that splits Lilith's attack in half. Grunting, Eda clenched her fists as the pillar of wood bends down and grows an Owl Face at the end of the pillar as it hoots lowly and zooms down towards Lilith, who stared at it with a determined angry look as she draws a Spell Circle above her and was able to teleport herself away from its approaching beak as Lilith then turned to glare at Eda and charged at her as Shepard did the same.

Grinning at the challenge before her, Eda draws six more Spell Circles alongside the huge pillar of wood as six large Owl Faces extended out from the pillar of wood as they zoomed towards the duo, who were unimpressed by the enemies that they were facing as they turned to each other and nodded as Lilith easily teleports away from three Owl Faces beak lunges while Shepard gripped his palisman tightly and leaped up as he fired a wave of dark magic that easily destroyed three Owl Faces into pieces as Lilith teleported back into the scene and fired multiple magical blue energy blasts that destroyed the remaining Owl Faces. Once all of the Owl Faces were defeated, both Shepard and Lilith jumped towards Eda, who smirks as she spins her staff around and created a large orange energy shield as the Co-Leaders of Emperor Belo's Coven slammed their glowing staffs against Eda's shield and started cracking it, but Eda's expression doesn't change as Owlbert's eyes glow and was brought to life as he flies into Lilith's face, interrupting her attack as Owlbert hooted loudly and started pulling her hair.

"Ow, ow, ow-ow-ow. Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!" Lilith yelped in pain as Owlbert pulled her away from Eda and a worried Shepard ran over to zap the living wood Owl away as Eda broke apart her shield and spins her staff around as she grinned.

"Say good night, lovebirds," Eda says mischievously while smacking the butt end of her staff against the wooden pillar as a large Owl's Face forms right next to Lilith and Shepard, and, with a hoot, it captures them inside of its beak as it all falls silent. "Well, that's that. Good seeing you again, sis. And good fight, Shepard." Eda says with a grin as Owlbert lands back on her staff, and she smiles at him as Eda was about to turn around and leave the stadium, but stopped as dark purple magical light began emitting from inside of the huge Owl Face, and Eda gasped in concern and shock as a huge explosion occurred that blew up the Owl Face into a billion pieces and Shepard could be seen rising up from the floor while transformed into his King Ghidorah form as he glared down at a stunned Eda.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Shepard screamed while firing multiple dark purple energy/fire blasts from out of his three heads as they all collided against Eda, who barely had any time to create a magic shield to protect herself as a small explosion occurred that destroyed her shield and sends a screaming Eda away as she crashed landed into a wall, leaving behind a crater as she groaned in pain.

"Goodbye, sister. I shall see you in jail." Lilith says while standing on top of the main Shepard's head as she begins spinning her staff around, charging up a large magical energy blast that would knock out Eda, but not kill her as she was about to blast her, but then-

"LILY! SHEEPMAN! WAIT! THE CURSE!" A bruised, bleeding Eda screamed while sitting up from the floor as the lovebirds stops in their tracks and grows somber as Lilith stops spinning her staff, the gathering magic at her palisman disappearing as Lilith teleported herself back on the ground just dark purple light covered Shepard's body as he transforms himself back to normal. "Look at me, guys. Look at my face. The curse is worsening, and I can't keep up with it. I don't know how much time I have left."

"I'll admit I was surprised when I first saw you today." A solemn Lilith says while approaching Eda as a silent Shepard followed after her.

"I-I just had to see my sister and my friend for...possibly the last time. I may hate you for a reason that I'm not totally sure yet, but we're still family, so yeah." Eda says while looking down tearfully as Lilith gave her younger sister a sympathetic look and glances away guiltily as she sighs heavily.

"E-Eda, I-I can't keep this secret from you anymore longer. The reason why you hate me is because I've done something to Fio-," Lilith says before yelping in surprise as Eda throws a bag of Hex Mix at her face, and she was so bewildered by what happened that Lilith didn't do anything as Eda begins running for the exit.

"It's been fun, but let's call it a draw!" A laughing Eda says as she was about to make her way out of the stadium but stopped as a glaring Shepard teleported over to her with a harsh glare.

"Sorry, Eda, but I can't let you get away that easily," Shepard says as, while he felt sorry for Eda's curse, it doesn't mean that he will let Eda escape, so he was quick to intercept her before she could. "So, why don't you just give up and-,"

"Look, Shepard! Some man's flirting with Lilith!"

"What!? Where?!" An angry, alarmed Shepard asked while turning around as a giggling Eda sneaks past him.

"He, he works everytime," Eda says while running out of Emperor Belos's Coven just as Shepard turned around as he realized that Eda has tricked him and escaped as the annoyed Shepard facepalmed himself while Lilith gave her boyfriend a blank blushing look. Back with Amity and Luz, we see the green-haired Witch still pointing at the Human Girl angrily while panting heavily as a stoic Luz remained silent with shadows covering her eyes as she then lifts up her arm and lowers Amity's finger down as Luz then stepped forward to give her a serious glare.

"First off, I'm sorry that you feel embarrassed, but even you have to admit that in both cases, you kind of deserved it. Second, yeah, I know that you have most likely worked hard to become a Witch, but don't think that you are the only one trying their best to learn magic." Luz says, causing Amity to blink in surprise at what she said as she continued listening to what Luz has to say. "I've been here for a couple of weeks now trying to learn Magic when everyone, including my Mentor, says that it's impossible to learn Magic, but I was able to get around it, and come up with a way to use Magic and the only Spells that I've learned so far are these," Luz says while kneeling down as she pulls out her journal and a pencil.

"Hmmm." Amity hums confusedly/curiously as she kneels down next to Luz, who slowly draws out the Light Glyph and taps it as it glows yellow, and a ball of light floated out of the journal as Luz then draws in the Protection Glyph Spell and taps it as it glows yellow and Luz slowly created a small yellow energy shield in her right arm.

"You and my friend Charles have it easier than me because both of you are able to cast Spell Circles with ease while I can't. I'm forced to draw in my spells manually due to being a Human, but I don't let that stop me. I continue trying my best to learn to use Magic because my friend and I want to become real Warlocks and Witches, so don't go around saying that I'm slacking off because I'm trying my very best to learn magic just like you." Luz says to Amity sternly as the green-haired Witch remained silent and stared at her in awe and, a little bit of respect/admiration, as Amity looks down in thought and eventually came up with a decision that made her sigh heavily as Amity reaches out to grab Luz's freed hand and traces out a Spell Circle as their hands glow briefly before the circle disappears as Amity stood up.

"The oath is unbound," Amity says while walking forward as Luz stood up and watched her go silently as Amity stops walking and turned to glare at her. "I still hate you, you know."

"Yeah, I hate you too," Luz says with a smile and a shrug as Amity remained still for a few seconds before smirking as she chuckled.

"Continue training, Human, because the next fight we have, it will be on my terms, and I will show you who's the real Witch is."

"Can't wait to see it, but you do remember about the terms of our Duel, right?" Luz asked with a sly smirk as Amity sighs heavily but nodded as she reluctantly made her way over to the center of the Covention.

"Everyone! If I could get your attention, please! I, Amity Blight, would like to say that I apologize for squashing a cupcake that belonged to Luz's Demon friend King, and...to say that Humans can learn Magic and learn how to become Witches and Warlocks!" Amity screamed loudly, causing everyone to mumble against themselves confusedly and in shock as Amity then turned back to Luz. "And, don't worry, tomorrow I will talk to the Freak to become his...ugh...assistant," Amity mumbles under her breath with a blush as the Dominican-American girl smiled and nodded as Amity flipped her off and Luz did the same as they shared a smirk before the Hexside Student turned around to leave.

"Well, that was fun," Charles says while appearing above Luz on Volatus with King as his best friend stared up at them in surprise.

"How long were you two there?" Luz asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, we arrived here roughly a few minutes ago. We had to leave the Coven due to Eda, Lilith, and Shepard duking it out in there." King says casually as Luz stared up at him in shock.

"I'm sorry, what?!"

"Oh, hey, guys, you're all here. Good, let's bounce." A panting, slightly injured Eda says while appearing out of nowhere as she ran over to the group.

"Wait, Eda, you're here already? How'd you get away from Lilith and Shepard?" A bewildered, curious Charles asked as Eda waved her hand around dismissively.

"It's not important! Let's go!" Eda yelled while leaping onto Volatus as she reaches down to grab Luz's arm and easily lifted her up onto the Magic Carpet. "Come on, Volatus, let's go!"

"Wait, Eda, we have something to say," Luz says with her and Charles sharing a nervous, serious expression as an exasperated Eda turned to them.

"Yes, yes, what is it?" Eda asked impatiently.

"D-Do you think we will ever become real Warlocks and Witches? I mean, we thought that if we showed off our Magic and impressed everyone by beating Amity and Dufroid, they would see us as their equals, but it seems that everyone is still disgusted by us." Charles says somberly with Luz pouting as Eda blinks a couple of times before laughing as she shakes her head.

"What? Come on, kids, do you really think any of these losers know what being a true Warlock and Witch means? Please, according to these suckers, being a Witch and a Warlock means being in a Coven and being stripped out of your individuality and power, but I never joined one, and I'm better than all of them combined. You gotta be your own Warlock and Witch to succeed in this world, kids, besides, if it's any consolation, I think that you two are way more of a Warlock and a Witch than any of them." Eda says while giving them a proud smile as Luz and Charles smiled back and beamed as they nodded. "Now, I think that I had enough of these mushy talks for the day. Let's go before my sister realizes I tied her pointy shoes together."

"Aaah!" Lilith yelped in surprise as everyone turned their heads and saw her and Shepard appearing from out of Emperor Belos's Coven as Lilith tripped over her feet due to Eda tying up her shoes as Shepard snorted at this amusedly before seeing her girlfriend's angry look as he was quick to went over to help her up to her feet.

"And that's our cue to leave. Let's go, Rugman!" Eda commanded while reaching down to grab Volatus's tassels as she flew all of them out of the Covention.

"Sister? Now that's a mysterious past payoff!" Luz says excitedly as Eda turned to smirk at her.

"Oh, you think that's all the mystery I got? Wait until you hear about my parents."

"What? You've got parents? We need to know more!"

"You very much don't!" King yells back with Volatus sharing the same sentiment as Charles couldn't help but laugh at this but looks down silently as he stared at his Dragon Birthmark and frowns worriedly, wondering how he was able to summon a new magical ability out of nowhere as the group flew out of the building and soared through the sky as they made their way over to the Owl House. Meanwhile, back at the Covention, we see Shepard carrying around a grumbling Lilith to their Dressing Room as they entered the room, and the dark navy-haired Witch tripped over her tied laces as she fells down and groans.

"Are you okay, Lilith?" Shepard asked worriedly while helping Lilith up to her feet again as she nodded with a glare.

"Yeah, I am. I'm just...ugh, Edalyn makes it so hard to want to help her, you know?" Lilith asks as Shepard nodded knowingly and was about to speak up but was cut off by the compact mirror with the insignia of the Emperor's Coven that was planted on the counter begins glowing, causing Lilith and Shepard to gasp as they turned to each other and nodded stoically as they walked over to the compact mirror and taps it as it shows the image of an unknown female Demon figure.

The unknown figure is a 3-feet-tall, Female Demon of unknown age as her left eye has a yellow sclera and a brownish-red iris as inversely her right eye has a red sclera and a yellow iris, large pointy ears, a small nose, her mouth is lined with upturned tusks and was hidden by her veil, three-clawed arms with her talons being colored dark brown, a slim diminutive stature with childish proportions, pale red skin, three-clawed feet with legs that are similar to those of a bird, and her outfit consists of a robe reminiscent of Belos's regalia as she has a white tunic overtop a black ensemble as well as a high-collared veil which shrouds the lower regions of her face with the veil being fastened by a triangular silver accessory as she also has no shoes. But her most defining feature is the conjoined prehensile hands that make up her hair: one with fingers that form a fringe that hides her right eye from view, the other is clenched behind her head to form a bun as the hands are dark blue with turquoise claws. Her name is Kikimora, Emperor Belos' assistant who delivers his orders to other subordinates inside or outside Emperor Belos's Coven.

"Lilith, Shepard, I see that you two let The Owl Lady get the best of you both and ran away once again. Just remember what Emperor Belos has promised to you."

"Don't worry, ma'am, Shepard and I will capture her. You have our word." Lilith says seriously with Shepard nodding as Kikimora nods in understanding.

"Very good. Now, it has come to my attention that a certain Human boy has shown a familiar power that has not been seen in decades, is that correct?"Kikimora asked coldly as Lilith and Shepard flinched and glanced at each other briefly before turning back to Emperor Belos's Assistant as they nodded curtly.

"Yes, Miss, the Human known as Charles has shown to possess the same magical abilities that Fiorella Pulchra once possessed before her passing," Shepard says while glancing down somberly as Lilith looks away stoically. "We have a theory that he might be-,"

"Fiorella's long lost Human/Warlock hybrid offspring? Tromper suspected as much after he informed me of what happened today and saw the same Dragon Tattoo that his mother has. After much thinking, Emperor Belos had decided to summon the Inquisition to help you detain not only Eda the Owl Lady, but Fiorella's Child as well."Kikimora informed the duo, much to their shock and horror, as Lilith glances down at the compact mirror pleadingly.

"Please, Miss, you must convince Emperor Belos to reconsider his decision. Shepard and I can deal with Eda on our own, but we can't possibly capture poor Charles as well. He's just a child and doesn't seem to have much experience or power as his mother, so maybe he-,"

"Are you questioning Emperor Belo's decision?!"Kikimora asked with a sharp glare as Lilith froze while Shepard glared angrily as the duo shared a look, and they sighed reluctantly as they lowered their heads.

"No, Miss, we aren't." Lilith and Shepard said in unison as Kikimora nods in satisfaction.

"Good to know. I will keep you both updated on what happens next."Kikimora says as she then shuts off their communication and the compact mirror as Lilith sighs heavily and placed her hand on her forehead as Shepard walks over to kiss it comfortably.

"You okay, Ravenclaw?" Shepard asked worriedly as Lilith gave him a loving, reassuring smile and kisses him briefly.

"Yeah, I'm okay, Hubby. I just wished that things were different."

"Same, are you sure that there's not another way to cure Eda of her curse without handing her over to Belos? And what about the kid? You can't possibly think that having the Inquisition capture him and turning him over to Emperor Belos is a good idea, right?" Shepard asked as Lilith merely remained silent and begins tearing up as she cried, and her boyfriend was quick to comfort her as the only sound that could be heard from the room was Lilith's sobbing.
