here with your sister, I was the first one to come as I heard it from the city that you were coming", the queen is still in agony but she tells the governess,"there's no time, we must heal them in our own", the queen touches the neck and heart of Dellia but Dellia wasn't breathing anymore, all of them were worried, The queen cries more and more and she tries to save Dellia by pressing her chest, and using every white magic she can heal her, Misteria keeps coughing more and more, the governess goes down with her and pats Misteria on the back, they trying everything they can, seems like Dellia was no hope now , the queen stops pressing and using magic, she burst into tears, the witches on their surrounding felt guilty, the backup arrive with the queen's Crestia sister and shoot white magic onto the lady of the hour, the lady of the hour counter their attacks and defend themselves, the witch in the cavern used her magic to broke a window and as her side broke it with her and gather with the other ones in the lady of the hour they pointed out their wands at the white witches as now the governess, the queen , Misteria and Dellia was between them, the queen's sister approach her beloved sister and ask her, "what happened", the queen is still crying and never answered, her sister read the room and understands what's going on, she realizes Dellia has no breath left and Misteria is still hurt, her sister hugged the queen and was comforted by it, one of the lady of the hour spoke and it was the woman in the cavern,"if you should've given her to us this wouldn't happen", the governess shoots fire at such witch to shut her mouth out of anger,"Hope you're satisfied now", says the governess Wana, the witch counter the magic and shuts off it and the witch tells them,"well our job may not be done, but the losers will take the rest, go on, especially the queen who cries", the governess growls as her sister in anger the queen drops tears on to Dellia more and more, the lady of the hour goes off, and starts to retreat, they let down their wands and turn their backs, suddenly a moon's light became a moon's dark, Dellia had some white hair in head and now it turns black her mother and father didn't know where it came from but they thought she was special and destined for something big, the white hair turned black, and a heartbeat and breath was Heard, the lady of the hour was stunned by the sudden moon's light, the ground rumbles, Dellia opened her eyes and they turned into black, all of them felt the dark magic aura around her, she starts to get up and floats suddenly and the lady of the hour stares at her and was happy about it saying to her, "ohh she's alive after all" they all clap out of joy, but Dellia smiled at them and a dark magic was released out of her hand and she goes near one of the lady of the hour hurting their surroundings, all of them felt joyful for a reason, Dellua was angried more , her mother was worried, and the governess, the white witches were stunned by the sudden act, The queen carried Misteria again on her Arms, Dellia released her magic again, and slices of the ground Infront of the lady of the hour but they were never afraid, Misteria was piss off and she came at them Infront and she chokes on of the witches In Front of them, the dark magic aura, they were all proud of her, but Dellia did this, she absorbs the magic of the witch in her wand , energy and mind, leaving it unconscious afterwards, the witch tries her magic but they were nothing left she was scared and cries, instead of proudness they felt now, they were all afraid, the witch on their center from the cavern before was shock by sudden dark magic power, all of them starts to run, Dellia smirks at them and chase them, the queen was worried and chase after her especially with the governess and the white witches, Dellia absorbs one witch again she chased eating it's power, another one leaving them all ten, her mother goes Infront of her and tells her to stop with such worried eyes and motherly smell,"Dellia stop, I know they've almost hurt me and you, but this is wrong, dark magic is forbidden and look at what have it done to you, you must remember you're Delia", Dellia grows in more pain as she stares at mother's eye reminiscing the memories and live of her mother and her sister, she realizes it was her mother and Misteria, her eyes slowly became normal as her hair turns into fully white and the moon shows it's light color bright shining, Dellia gets back to normal and closes her eyes and her magic absorbed the dark magic in Misteria seeing it was a nightmare and pain for her, in her heart she locked deep within the dark magic and lock it in a chest that she will never use again as she promise, Misteria's wound start to heal but it leaves a scar on her back, she turning back into normal, Dellia opened her eyes and her mother hugs her as she carries Misteria and tells her,"I will never cry again", Dellia replied with comfort In her mind,"I will never also leave you and leave you hanging mother", the queen's sister tells the queen while looking at the dark magic effects, "you're queen that magic was powerful we can use it to defeat the lady of the hour and whoever stands in our way", the governess was mad with such foolish idea especially the queen, the queen replied to her,"sister that is absorbed, all of us might be dead if she didn't control It or if I was not there, you should never say a word about dark magic", the governess added to everyone,"We must all leave and get back to the city, and the others will be here and we must look for the healer in the cavern and find out if she is dead or alive?", Dellia felt tired and lazy from all of the given events, a Woman raises her hand and tells them,"I'm the healer from the cavern", the governess knows the familiarity, she was with witch from the cavern who wants Dellia, the governess goes near her and ask in her eye onto the ground, "why did you betray our territory?" The healer replied, "I'm tired of being a healer of witches, I may be the best but my power is limited , the lady of the hour approach me in the cavern to become their member and they promise me that i will be the richest and powerful witch in the whole world, they will give me a territory and malice will give me power", the queen goes near her,"oh really?, That's what you want?, You have no right to be a witch with magic that's why it's been taken away", a white witch tells them that there were two more witch without magic, The queen was angry at them as she carried Misteria and Dellia was still confuse,"take the three of them to the highest dungeon of Misteria I don't want to see their faces of such burden to the territory", the once witch healer was dragged away, and tells the queen loudly,"no I don't want to go there, you my queen will never understand the will to have power and the world at your hands a foolish queen, a weak daughter, a pet governess, a dog white witches, all of you will know the power of malice" the healer gone crazy and the other two were taken away in silence, The queen was worried by her statement the governess ask her, "what to do know?" The queen replied with such blandness, "I think we will discuss it in the castle in the center of Teria, we must discuss the magic and all the other territory, we must have a meeting from each territory leaders will gather I will inform my husband so each leaders can attend", Dellia felt weird by sudden change in her heart a d something wants to get out, Kncking through her door, the queen requested a carriage to go back home in the castle, Misteria was felt dizzy and her daughter Dellia bid farewell to her aunt and her mother bid farewell to everyone, but when Dellia bid farewell to her aunt, her aunt's smile was change, a very dark aura, all of them part ways and will see again in an another near days.

Her husband arrived already at the castle and he was outside waiting for his queen with worried eyes and bright smile and she opens it and hugged Dellia and Misteria still sleepy after the ride and especially the king kiss they're mother, the mother tells her husband suddenly a news with a soft voice , "something happened when we got there and I want a meeting in all of the leaders of each territory", The husband replied, "I was worried and sick the moon was at it's darkest, and we stop our horses as we go back to the castle to figures out what was happening, it ended for about 10 minutes then I waited here for all of you, we just got here, so something must really happened back there in the territory are you sure our daughters and you are okay?" The queen replied to him with such worriness,"we must proceed to the meeting first, and we will talk about it later, first our children must get to bed they are sleepy, help me carry Misteria, Dellia can walk for herself, we are not sure about what will happen now" the queen hugs it's king as her tears went to drop in the ground, they get off the carriage and enters the castle with worriness in their eyes and a scared face, they don't know what will happen soon or later.
