"What happened?" I asked as Chris laid her on the bed. "Adira did something" Chris replied "she got weak and then just went crazy" he continued.

"Mercury..." was all i said. "when it's naturally Infused with magic it becomes her weakness, it must've messed with the dark magic inside her and destabilized it even more" I explained.

"is there anything we can do?" A boy around the same age as Kyra asked. "the only thing we can do is take it out" I replied. "the only problem is I don't know of a spell that can" I continued "it would be like attention to take the dark magic up out of her obviously a bit different but more or less the same we would need the same spell" I explained.

"I know the spell" Mia said appearing behind me. "The goddess showed me" she continued. "we'll need sea salt rabbits foot wolfs blood and something ti seal the mercury in once removed" Mia explained. "thank the goddess" I said taking a sigh of relief. "shockingly enough the only thing I don't have is the sea salt" I said "Mia pick a wolf we have 2 of them here" I told her as I walked past her.

"there's one more thing" she said turning to me. "whatever you do you cannot remove the dark magic yet, if you pull it out to soon she'll die" Mia added. "I kinda figured" I said taking a deep breath then leaving.

it didn't take me long to gather all the ingredients and bring them back, Mia had already drawn Chris's blood so we had everything we needed for the spell.

"Alright what's next?" I asked seriously as I turned to Mia

Kyras Pov

it was dark, completely dark. I was sitting against some sort of wall with eyes closed and my ears covered, but even with that I could still hear the voices as I was surrounded by darkness.

"What.... are....you... feeling..." the voices asked in unison but I couldn't ignore them. "Regret...." I said as the tears streamed down my face. "What.... do you... Regret?" the voices asked. "Everything...." I replied. almost as if I couldn't lie.

"Well what are you going to do about it?" the voices asked once more as I opened my eyes. "What?" I questioned. "What are you going to do about it?" the voices asked again. "I.... I... I don't.... I don't know" I answered unsure and confused. as I closed my eyes again in an attempt to ignore them

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

they began to ask it over and over

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT"

They all screamed at once.

"I'M GOING TO CHANGE" I yelled back, as I opened my eyes and uncovered my ears. I took a few short breaths "I'm going to change" I said again more calmly. "I am going to get better" I said to myself. "I am going to be better" I added

The voices became silent as a familiar green glowing figure appeared before me. it was Mikail.

"So... tell me..." I said looking up at him "Was it worth it?" I asked him. he stayed silent. "Was it everything you dreamed of?" I asked him as I stood up. "I sure hope it was worth it" I scoffed. "you did after all give everything to this" I said slowly beginning to walk toward him. "to using me as a vessel" I added.

"You literally gave your life" I said as I stopped just a few feet in front of him. "love.... fear.... sadness... I could feel it all from you... from your past..." I told him "so again.... I ask you" I said taking the last few steps I had and getting as close to him as I possibly could. "Was... it... Worth it?" I asked him again slowly "was it really worth it" I said looking him directly in his emerald green eyes.

"how do you do it?" Mikail suddenly asked me as he took a step back. "do what?" I answered looking at him confused. "you were put through vast amounts of stress, pressure and tension through the 11 years I've been in your mind. you should of given up. every one gives up" he began to explain. "and yet" he said taking a deep breath. "I have never once seen you give in... not once" he added.

"Through the pain and the loss you have never given up" he said looking me in my eyes. "I have seen you falter and fail and be on the brink of collapse yes" he said honestly "but in those instances where it should have weakend you, where it should have broke you.... you seemed to have more strength then you ever had before" he finished his explanation. "so... how do you do it?" he asked again.

"because the thought of you winning and taking over my body and destroying the things I loved was far scarier then dying" I told him. he smiled. it was in this instance I realized something. when j was in my subconscious I wasn't influenced by the dark magic. or maybe there was another cause. "how?" I asked looking at him.

"as we were conversing your loved ones took put the mercury, so now unlike when the darkness was flowing throughout your whole mind because of the mercury it is back to only affecting tour conscious mind" he explained. "so when I wake up..." "you'll be a bitch again" he interrupted.

"thank you for that Clear example" I said glaring at him. "well I'm done here... see you when you wake up" he said snapping his fingers.

I opened my eyes and looked around me. I was tied to a bed.
