Pandemoniun (Pt. 1)

Willow smiled. Viola nodes and walks in the room.

"We shouldn't fight..."

"You're telling me."

"The committee came to the following conclusion. Out of twenty, eleven were for the approval, eight were for disapproval and one refused to vote. Per the majority, you are now accepted."

"This all could have been avoided if you both would of just talked things out..'' viola smiled. "Thank you!!"

"You're right..." At the end of the day, even powerful magical abominations longed for a family.

"You're welcome. Thank you for your patience.

"now you two can recover and have some long needed family time.." "yeah. So..What do I do now?"

"I'm withdrawing my army and disbanding my warband," her brother said. "We didn't conquer anything; we just placed flags as we went."

"Really? I thought you-"

"Nope."

"Head to the school, of course."

"well then... I don't think Im needed here." Willow started walking. "Oh yeah right... Bye" she went oyfv of the room and looked at legion. "They said yes!! But now ibgsvevto go to the School"

The field gradually faded away and gave way to a forest of sorts.

A dead forest. Burnt trees, withired tree husks...

"It's pretty far. You probably won't be home watch."

"huh....? " Willow looked at the forest."well I have to go now I guess. Is there a way I can transport there fast?"

Sets of eyes wandered through the withered bushes.

"Yes, though you'll have to rely on someone else; my teleporting abilities can't reach that far away."

"I see you there. Come out" willow said getting closer. "Okay...I hope I can find someone."

It wasn't yet another dryad, but a spriggan, a kind of wood spirit. Like the rest of the forest, she was burnt to a crisp, embers serving as her eyes.

"No need to. I already know a person."

"whoa you don't look so good. Do you need help?" "You do? Wow thanks!"

It didn't say anything and just limped towards her.

"Told you I know a lot of mages, didn't I?"

"here let me help you.." willow went to the spriggan. "Yeah you did!"

The spriggan grabbed her by the shoulders and its face opened, revealing a charred skull with empty eye sockets and a dislocated jaw.

"Let's go; he lives nearby."

Willow gasped looking scared. "L-Let me go!!" "Alrighty. You lead the way"

The spriggan let her go, only for Willow to find herself surrounded by those... things. Some of them even had limbs or body parts clearly visible, including arms, legs, an eye or even a visible, still-beating heart.

A small, unassuming house was the home of Eldar Yato, Legion's former teleportation teacher. "Ah, Legion!" he greeted him as he opened the door. "What brings you here, my friend?"

"g-get away!!" Viola waved hi

"the forest yearns for life..." they all whispered. "yours will be but another step..."

"You've finally got yourself an assistant, did you?"

"there are oth-other ways...To bring life..." "Im not his assistant"

Before they could do anything to her, Willow immediately woke up.

Eldar had a better look at her, then looked at Legion. "Tell, what is this about?"

Willow woke up. She was shaking and looked around. Viola smiled more. ''heh"

Lotus and Autumn were sleeping beside her. She hadn't woken them up.

"She's... she's my girlfriend." Eldar scratched the back of his head. It was surprising, to say the least.

"thank gosh..It wasn't real..." "Yeah we both love each other!" Viola gave legion a little kiss
