Mary was sleeping in a guest room. She slept uneasily, tossing and turning, images flicked through her mind.

She saw herself as she looked down upon herself kneeling in a small room full of candles. She watched as she removed a large blue jewel from a wooden box. Her vision darkened and she saw rows of dead soldiers that turned into ravens as they took to the air, spreading sickness and death across the land wherever they went. The scene changed and she then saw herself again standing on the battlements of a great fortress, below her are thousands of soldiers . The sky darkened and she looked up to see a great woman with wings flying towards her. She landed beside her and took her hand, her face was hidden. She turned to face the room behind them and she saw her father asleep on a bed. Then she remembered he was not asleep, he was dead and she groaned in her sleep.
She woke suddenly and opened her eyes. A serving girl entered the room with a tray of food. She placed the food on the table then noticed Mary was awake and looking at her.

"I hope I didn't wake you my lady," she said.

"No, you didn't," Mary said still feeling the horror of her dream.

"The king asked me to bring you food and see if there is anything else you need," she said.

"Where am I?" Mary asked sitting to look around the room.

"In King Lot's palace, his daughter found you and brought you here. The king wishes to speak with you when you have eaten".

"Okay, tell him I will come and see him once I am through and have taken my bath"

. Mary said.

"Of course my Lady, I will ask the servants to prepare your bath my Lady". 

"What's your name?"

"My name is Safa".

"Okay Safa thank you".

Safa was taken aback, no one had ever thanked her not even Lily. She smiled at Mary.

"Of course my Lady".

Safa than left the room.

Mary stood up going to where her food was placed. She immediately grab the soup and started eating. The Malarias had told her everything she needs to know in her dream.

In the dream, they had unlock her powers and had taught her all that she needs to know. She isn't the Mary everyone had know she is now different.

A strong witch.

*********************************************

Erica and Lucas reached the lake that Grace met Isadora and soon enough Isadora came out to meet them still wearing her white robe. She stood at the edge of the lake.

"Lucas, it has been so long I had seen you. Do you bring a message from Diana?"

"Yes. We are here to see Selena and Grace. It is very urgent". Lucas said.

Isadora nodded her head before turning her eyes to the second figure whose face was hidden behind a mask. "And who is this with you?"

"Someone that Selena would love to meet. Don't worry about her Isadora".

"Okay if you say so. I trust you Lucas. Follow me".

Together they walked into immortal world of Dragins.

****************************************

After Mary had bathed and eaten, she sat at the table thinking about her vision. The jewel with the Raven soul that was with her. She had to think fast.
Sefa returned to clear the table. There was a knock on the door and King Lot walked in, leaving his guards at the door. He was a big man both tall and broad he had to duck to enter the room. Mary looked up as King Lot entered her room she noted that he wore well fitting black armour with a sword hanging from a large leather belt around his waist. On Lot the sword looked more like a dagger. His long black hair fell in plaits down his back.

"The Lady Mary", he said walking towards her and holding out his hand, his voice was loud and deep.

"King Lot," Mary said, standing and taking his hand. The Melarias had told her what to say and had told her a lot about him 'Be careful with him young one. He is a strong one, but there is a way you can kill him'. Mary smiled at Lot. "I thank you King Lot for your hospitality towards me".

"Well I'm hoping that you will be able to help me. I'm not known for my kindness," he said laughing. Sefa excused herself and left the room.

"Of course," Mary said, sitting down, "I will help you my King".

"We have much to talk about," he said moving to the other side of the table and sitting down facing her.

"We do," she said smiling.

"I can't find where Grace is being hidden..." he said.

"Grace is at the immortal world of the Drakins. She is with Selena as we speak," Morgana said interrupting him.

"You are sure of this?" he asked looking at her. He poured himself wine and held the jug out towards Mary's goblet.

"I believe so," she replied passing her goblet across the table towards him.

"Then I do believe you know why I am helping you. We are going to watch each other backs". The king said leaning back in his chair, which creaked under his weight.

"We're going to  join forces," she said getting up from her chair and pacing the room.

"That's more like it". The king said looking at Mary.

"I can make you an army that will not only take Grace and Selena out but her allies as well," she said sitting back down and smiling at him. That smile left him cold but he did not fear anyone and he would deal Mary once she had done what he had ask of her. He will put an end to her.

"What you don't know Mary is that Grace has many allies that if we sound the horns of war they will come to her side, haven't heard of the Prophecy that was written a long time ago by Omen great grand son. Even you my lady are not powerful enough to defeat them all," he said.

"I was mortally wounded but I was saved and sent back so I could destroy Grace and those who stood by her. The ways of the old religion will return and you can help me build and rule this new world if you have the courage," Mary said as her eyes flashed red. Lot blinked and shook his head thinking he must have imagined it.

"How?" he asked, leaning across the table towards her.

"I will soon have the power to raise the dead. Wherever this dead army goes they will destroy all that they touch," she said smiling at him.

"The dead?" he asked. The dead did not bother him they were just meat but he would prefer to leave them where they fell.

"Yes, many soldiers who had died in many battles. You bring their bodies to me and I can bring them back to life," she said.

"How are you so sure if I send my men to dig up the graves of the fallen ones, what guarantee you are giving me that this your army of the dead won't fail us?"

"This army will be far greater, and cannot be stopped," she said.

"Hmm, what if Grace find a way to stop them?"

"Do you doubt me?" she stared at him and for a moment her eyes flashed red again, he saw that she meant what she said. He was still not sure if he had really seen the red in her eyes.

"No my lady," he said.

. "I will send men to bring the dead back here."

"Good. It will be good if you start it now".

"I will send messengers straight away," he started to get up but Mary grabbed his arm. Her eyes were red and he could not look away, he sat back in the chair.

The Malarias could feel the force of the amulet that Lot wore and it angered them. It kept him safe from mortal magic and if the witch tried to harm him her spell would be reversed, hurting her instead and their plans would be ruined. They won't let that happen, such trinkets would not keep him safe from their magic.


The Malarias held Lot's gaze and with Mary voice told him exactly what he must do. Lot's eye's glowed the same deep red as Mary's and he listened carefully to all they told him.
The Malarias was satisfied that he would do as he was told and once he had served his purpose they will ask the witch to put an end of his very existence after they might have depose him of the amulet. They released him from their gaze. He shook his head wondering what had just happened, Mary seemed to be in some sort of trance.

"My lady?" he asked.

"So we have a deal?" she said looking up at him, her eyes were no longer red and she seemed the same as always. He shook his head wondering if she had put something in the wine, but no she had been drinking it too.

"My lord?" she asked wondering why he was looking at her like that.

"Of course, we have a deal," he said standing up. She held out her hand and he took it and kissed it. Then turned away from her and left the room.
