Chapter Text
Once again, all King dreamed of was darkness. And voices. One he recognized as Emperor Belos and one he assumed as the Collector he heard about.

But- But you said. You said you'd let me out! I hate it here!

Just a little longer. We have to wait 'till after the Draining Spell.

You better not be fibbing. You pinky-swore me.

Patience, Collector, you can trust me.

"Pah."

Hm?! Who's there?!

King woke up with a start in Willow's lap, breathing heavily. She gently patted his head as she said, "It's okay, King, it's okay."

King, Willow, Alador, Amity, Emira, Edric, Gus, and Hunter were all aboard the airship they stole from Odalia. Amity was worriedly pacing back and forth, Gus was inspecting his power amplifier, and three of the gang's palismen were huddled in a shaking pile. Edric was doing everything he could to keep Emira calm while she nervously twirled her fingers. Hunter did various adjustments to the air ship to help steer it.

"I know how to fly a ship," Alador said.

"Then fly faster," snapped Amity. "We're barely halfway there. Luz and Oswald could be in trouble!"

"Maybe if I took the wheel..."

Alador glared at Hunter suspiciously. "At least I've never built him an army!"

"Watch your tone with me, young man." Alador said as he pointed at the boy, causing the ship to tilt before he quickly grabbed the wheel.

"Hey, here's a bright idea: don't distract the pilot," Gus snapped at Hunter.

"He started it!"

Alador, Hunter, Gus, and Amity all started yelling at each other angrily until Emira shouted as loud as she could, "SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU!"

Edric stared at her. "Whoa, since when did you get so uptight?"

Emira nervously chuckles.

And the arguments started again.

At the back of the ship, King tried to snuggle into Willow's lap for some form of comfort. "I can't believe she's gonna face Belos alone again. And dad went after him without us! And I'm powerless to help her. We can't even manage to help each other."

Willow lifted up Clover, and nodded to her. Clover chirped and flew over to where the other palismen are. The palismen pushed a box of cheeses, bread, and apples over to the arguing witches, interrupting their fighting. The sight of it made Gus' stomach growl.

"Look, we're all exhausted and terrified," said Amity. "Let's focus our energy on helping Luz and Oswald instead of fighting each other."

Everyone nodded. They all took a snack from the box. Gus fist bumped Hunter as an apology. Alador then gestured Hunter to steer the wheel with a sincere smile. To the side, Amity was rubbing her hands together from the cold, but Alador summoned Abomination goo to cover her hands. He sat down next to her. "Aw, this is just like when I was a kid," said Amity with a smile. Then she realized, "Wait. Is this why you call me 'Mittens'?" Alador smiled sheepishly.

Emira and Edric sat next to her. "Yep," said the former. "And we've never stopped calling you since."

"Hey, wait a minute," exclaimed Edric. "If our palismen was here the whole time, why did we take the ship instead of riding them?"
