"MOTHER!" Khloe screeched super speeding up the stairs, "you won't believe- Mother?" She asked as she spotted her mother lying on the floor. Panic flooded through her as she raced toward her, black dust covering the floor her mother was lying on.
"Mother?!" She repeated as she crouched beside her. She was completely motionless.
***********
Stephania suddenly woke up to find herself in a chair, her eyes shooting open, her gaze landed on her daughter.
"Thank heavens!" Khloe said putting down the Smokey piece of sage she had in her hand.
"T-The Spell, it g-gone" Stephania said looking at Khloe
"What happened to your mother?" Khloe asked as Stephania rose to her feet.
"I was over the box the one with the soul spell and it suddenly began to leak, blood, " she began looking at herself in both wonder and shock before turning to her daughter, "Then it just exploded and I felt like, it had taken some power out of me, with one strong punch, I passed out on the floor, I can't feel the spell anymore, it was like it never was," she shook her head, her fingers trembling, "I don't know what happened darling, but I can't feel it anymore"
Khloe's gaze fell, her eyes a teary mess, "Mother, Azian Claimed Kaya" she said.
Stephanie’s eyes shot up to her daughter, a look of complete shock, "what do you mean Azian Claimed Ka-" she froze something flashed in her eyes. The video of Azian and Kaya, Khloe had shown her earlier that one time, flashed into her mind.

She knew she had disliked Kaya for a reason, her mind replaying every instant from the time "Mother it was so horrible!" Khloe cried tears flooding her eyes, "it's gone, everything’s done, and it’s over!" She yelled her hands shaking at her mother’s side.
Stephanie stood up calmly, fiddling with the necklace that dangled from her neck, the power empty, "Liam’s broken free" she muttered.
"Mother we need to leave, before Father-“ Khloe began as tears fell.
Stephanie nodded, "I underestimated Abigail,” she said softly, brushing her back, she looked at her daughter with an airy smile, "but she's still underestimating me"
She stood up, "Grab anything you need darling, everything you need to survive, the war has just begun, and we are yet to see who wins. They may have dragons, they may have THE dragon, but we have so much more, just a little magic here and there, and of course" she began turning back to Khloe, "we have Celeste-"
