After Freya's pissed motion, Nixon, Kamari, and Lux decided that they would meet in the dinning hall to try and get out of their challenges one more time.
"Are you two actually going to do your challenge tomorrow?" Kamari said, questioning Nixon and Lux.
"Are you insane? You saw what happened the first time I tried my challenge. I literally died 25 times. Spade was my 25th reason, and he killed me himself," Nixon said using his hands in a dramatic way.
"Can you just give up already and do it? I got my ass handed to me and you didn't even last five seconds in the same room with Freya," Lux said somewhat steamed.
As the group continued to argue about the situation Freya walked in. She didn't even bother to acknowledge the three of them. Kamari tried to reason with her.
"Freya, can we talk?" Kamari asked.
Freya grabbed Kamari by the hip and went in for a kiss, but Kamari shoved her back and out of the way,
"What are you doing? Don't touch me," Kamari said, sitting back down.
"That's not what you said in the library at the ball," Freya snapped back.
"Oh Shit," Nixon and Lux said simultaneously looking back and forth between the two fighters.
Freya stormed out, throwing every door open and almost off the hinges. The trio watched, but Kamari was trying to hold every emotion back she could. Nixon and Lux were both shocked as if their worlds had just blown up.
"So what happened in the library, Kamari? It sounds like it was pretty good," Nixon said, smirking and leaning in his chair.
"Nixon, I will throw you," Kamari said stone cold.
"How are you not pissed at Freya, that was a lot to unpack," Lux said confused.
"She's not pissed because Freya was right, and Kamari li-," Nixon said cut off
Kamari grabbed Nixon by the hair and slammed his head into the table. She stood up and walked off to her room.

Laying in her room Kamari heard a knock at the door. It slowly opened as Sage walked in.
"Are you ok? Nixon told me to come talk to you since you basically put him through the table. Lux is with him in their room right now trying to keep his head from swelling," Sage said sitting on the edge of the bed.
There was nothing but silence. The awkward silence made Sage think she had done something wrong by coming into Kamari's room. Kamari just adjusted herself in her bed and stayed silent. Sage fell backwards onto the other pillow next to Kamari.
"You have a very cool room. It's very unique," Sage said looking around.
"Can you just get out already? You literally have a whole castle to explore and you decide to pester me like a little na-," Kamari said, but Sage interrupted her.
"Alright then, I'll leave you alone," Sage says, she gets off her bed and brushes her skirt. She closed the door behind her and grabbed a red twig from her bag. When she brushed her skirt she dropped the other red twig under Kamari's bed. She patiently waited for Kamari to return it. After a couple seconds the door opened and Kamari held out the red twig  towards Sage.
"Here you dropped this." Kamari said
"Oh thank you darling," Sage said, grabbing it with her pinkie. Kamari went back into her room and Sage on the other hand was smiling ear to ear.
She ran to the library with two twigs in her hand. She dashed past Freya.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Freya said, grabbing onto her arm.
"Come see!" Sage said excitedly. Freya let go of her and followed behind her. Sage entered the library and pushed herself against a bookshelf by the wall, it opened, and a long hallway appeared. Sage entered the long dark hallway and Freya closed the door behind them.
"Now are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?" Freya said.
"It's time for a master to cast a spell on the pupil." Sage said as she entered a clearing in the hall. In the room there were bookshelves on the walls, a large table beside the bookshelves, on the table there was a bunch of books and ingredients on the table.
She sat down right center of the room and broke the twigs in half and put them around her in a circle.
Freya sighed and sat down at the table. Sage started to mumble something and then the branches started to alleviate. After a while the twigs fell to the floor and Sage stood up.  Sage gathered the twigs and threw them away in her trash. Sage scanned the room and found her journal.
"So?" Freya said.
Sage was now pacing back and forth with the journal in her hands, writing. After finishing her writing Sage put the book down on the floor and signaled for Freya to come see it. Freya walked over to Sage and the book.
"What are we looki-" Freya was interrupted by Sage shushing her.
"Shh, just watch." Sage said, staring into the book. Just as Sage said that a V from the book started to glow purple.
"Woah." Freya said, then an A. Then an I.
"Vai." Sage said. L and S were next. After a couple of minutes the last letter glowed and then it stopped. Sage flipped the next page and wrote it down. Once she finished she stood up and read it outloud.
"Vails of two intertwined as the midnight sky shines. Ghosts haunt them of their past along with secrets here to last." Sage thought for a moment then looked over at Freya. Freya had a puzzling look on her face.
"So what do you think it means, Freya?" Sage asked. Freya turned to look at Sage. They both shared a look and nodded.
