“Also rid of the worshippers,” I declared. “They are not deserving to witness your bundle of joy.”

“You’re right! They aren’t deserving at all,” she agreed and was on her feet in a blink. “LEAVE!”

The worshippers weren’t going to let her repeat herself as they all raced out, trampling on one another to get out of the stone place.

With a boom of the door, Danica was rushing to cast the spell on Athena.

“With the last spec of light, do what I ask. Return Athena’s body to her place of rest, preserved and presentable to be discovered with out a trace of my involvement. Let this be. Let this be. Ashla Re Va Nah Luke!”

Athena’s body began to fade and tried to hide just how relieved I was.

Almost there.

One it was done, Danica rushed to me before dropping to her knees.

“I’m ready! I’ll do anything else you ask,” she pleaded.

“You’ve done enough,” I vouched and gestured to the altar. “Lay down so I can present you your child.”

“Y-Yes!” she beamed and raced to the where Athena was once laying. She was in position as I began to approach, until I stood at where her head laid.

“As the contract invested with me, here is the child you sought for,” I declared and began to offer the bundle.

I watched how her arms trembled and her eyes widened in pure delight, before she took the sleeping babe of onyx.

“Oh…oh,” she began to make odd sounds as if this she couldn’t comprehend what was finally in her grasp. “My baby. Sweet baby. My dark prince. My sweet prince.”

She kept singing as she laid down and huddled the bundle to her chest, while I simply turned around.

“I’ll make my exit,” I declared and began to walk away.

“This must be a dream. My baby. You’re finally here. Finally mine.” She paid no mind to my departure as I began to walk into the lagoon of blood once more. “You and me. Me and you. We shall live together and I’ll raise you.”

With one deep inhale, I submerged into the bloody waters once more, only to surface a second later in a pool of holy water.

“Fuck,” I cursed and looked to see the crowded bathroom in the Pack House. “Holy shit. It worked!”

“Nerissa!” Natalia beamed and was the first to hug me before pulling me out of the tub which was absolutely stupid because we both went falling down into Sawyer, Arthur, and Cornelius.

“Ugh! Hey. There’s no space in here!” Cornelius whined.

“Shit! The plan actually worked!” Arthur beamed.

“How the hell did Nessa do that?” Sawyer pondered.

“BITCH! How did you from a lagoon to a fucking tub?” Natalia demanded while attempting to help me up but failing.

It was Erebus who abruptly stole me from the group and had me over his shoulder and out the washroom in seconds.

“Hey!”

“You’re in so much trouble,” he seethed, and I groaned.

“I haven’t even revealed my epic magic trick!”

“You did this to yourself, Nessa,” Ciel called out, while Koa sighed. “She’s doomed, but I want to know what she did.”

“Follow them!” Natalia declared.
