"What is that?" Mike asked."A parasite. Cecilia here has been growing a soul." When the queen let go, the soul snapped back into Cecilia's body, causing her to gasp. "A tiny little piece of you has been floating around in there long enough that it's growing. Even if something happens to you, this...remnant would linger and fester, making her more like a mortal with every passing day.""Don't," Cecilia begged, her sightless eyes settling on Mike. "Don't let her do it!""Disgusting." The queen shook her head. "You see, I plan to let her leave with you, but not before I wipe her clean completely. She will be unharmed and intact, born anew and allowed to leave with you if she chooses. She will have no memory of you, or anything else for that matter, so she may decide to stay here with her mother.""You can't do this," Mike growled."And yet, I will." The queen raised her hands as if to snap her fingers. "Out with the old, in with the new."Cecilia opened her mouth in a silent scream.As

"Improvise," Ratu responded, her eyelids closing. "I need...to...so tired." When the naga shut her eyes, her body settled and she looked no different from the earth itself. Worried that she may have died, Kisa put her hand on Ratu's skin and was relieved when it shifted beneath her touch."Go," Ratu muttered, and Kisa moved toward the exit.She ran after Marco, her padded feet allowing her to be completely silent, and it wasn't long before she caught up to him. He didn't seem to be in much of a hurry, and was speaking as if someone was next to him."Yes, my army is keeping them busy, so we should be able to sneak out of the front," he said. "Your mother will be waiting out front, you have no idea how thrilled she'll be to have you back."Something in his hand pulsed blue, the glow casting an eerie shadow behind him. Kisa realized he was talking to the necklace."No, he's out of the house. He started a fight with the faerie queen, so I let her know he was coming. I imagine she's alread

The spirit exploded into shards of light and drifted out into the night."Holy shit," Beth muttered, dropping the remnants of her flower pot. Around them, the shadows were now keeping their distance. "If we can charge them up out here, we can hurt them.""Urk," replied Dana, trying to stand. Her legs weren't regenerating fast enough, and something was wrong in her chest. She coughed a few times and then took a deep breath. "We need...a bigger charge.""I'm not sure where we're going to get one," Beth said, then winced when Cerberus roared. "It looks like you cleared the house a bit, but there are too many of them. We're outnumbered.""Yeah, well..." Dana picked up a piece of glass and chuckled. "Tink is gonna be...pissed." She tossed the glass on the ground and dragged herself over to Naia's frozen fountain to pull herself up. The spirits still gave them a wide berth, and she shook her head. "I think this may be it. The home is trashed and that douche Marco is going to take the Grimoi

Abella soared away, and the Jabberwock scrambled to its feet. It let out a hiss and was almost out of the fountain when a blast of water knocked it off its feet. Three powerful jets of water sprayed from the fountain, slicing through its thick hide, and Naia rose up from the fountain, riding a surge of water. The runes on her torso glowed so brightly that they could be seen through her dress, and when the Jabberwock swiped at her, she burst into a spray of liquid, only to reform behind it.Spirits were bailing out of the Jabberwock and sucking energy out of the water, but they were being crushed by the combatants when they fully manifested, sending spirit shards all across the yard. Yuki joined in, raining ice down on the Jabberwock, and Abella reappeared, hurtling toward the back gate like a meteor."It's about to get messy," Lily said when she landed by Beth's side.There was a roar from inside the gate, and as the Jabberwock broke free of the ice again, Abella tumbled through the g

"Is that all you have? Mortal puns? Stupid jokes?" Her arms and torso were covered in red and white paint smears now, and Mike suppressed a grin. When she tried to rub it off, it just created long streaks of grime that sparkled when the light hit the smashed monocles just right."I'm just trying to buy myself some time," he said, then struck his best martial art pose. Though inexperienced in the art of self defense, he dug into the mental intent of the act, and felt his mind connect with the beach around him.When the queen ran toward him, he swept his hand dramatically in front of him. The sand of the beach erupted, blasting into the queen and smashing her into a grove of nearby palm trees.He dramatically made a fist, and the beach followed suit. It was almost ten feet across, and as the queen pulled herself out of the trees, it slammed into her hard enough that one of her wings crimped, and he heard her shout something he couldn't understand. He summoned another sand hand and then
