"Marvelous! All of you have such stunning potential." The queen grinned brightly as each of the humans displayed their new found abilities.

The throne room was thrown into a state of chaos. Tables were split apart, cakes were sent flying, and sparks of electricity tore through the air. It was all so colorful and lively,and this was the first time anyone had become a rainbow mage. My, my, these humans sure were something!

"Excellent display of power. Zephy, they'll chase away that dragon in no time." She gave the messenger a tap on the shoulder before holding out the box. There were two gems left. "Come, come, let's not keep poor Tobi waiting."

Harper eyed the gem in his hand. Would it be enough to keep them alive?

Riley on the other hand wasn't worrying, but was instead oohing and aahing at the explosions happening all around.

"Here you go, dears." She waved a dismissive hand in Inadi's direction before beaming at everyone who had asked a question. "Give me a moment and we'll get to that in faster than an alligator in a race car." She pushed the box in Riley's direction and the girl pulled out an orange gem. She wore it immediately, but didn't feel a surge of power or anything special. "Hey, how did any of you get it to work?" She raised an eyebrow before casually grabbing a tart of the now broken table.

"It's already working." The Queen said with a chuckle.

The girl looked at the tart in her hand and her eyes went wide. It was on fire... "THIS is so freaking cool! I mean, err, hot! You get what I mean." The girl tossed the now burnt tart away and laughed. If she nabbed photos of this and wrote an article, no news company in their right mind would be able to ignore her.

Mado reached out to grab a gem of her own, but before she could reach for the purple amulet the queen slammed the jewelry box shut.

"I'm sorry, but a few of the guides told me about the Shakespearean incident," her eyebrows creased in concern, "I think it would be best if you stayed in the castle and rested." The girl was a danger to her own teammates and the queen didn't want anymore casualties.

Riley raised an eyebrow at Mado while Harper let out a relieved sigh. The girl had almost killed them a handful of times and while he felt sorry for Mado he was glad they wouldn't have to worry about her accidentally impaling one of them. The Queen waved a hand in Mado's direction and soon a handful of bunny guards began escorting her towards the elevator. She would be evaluated in the infirmary and given a room so she could rest, maybe the parties would cheer her up as well.

The queen grabbed a spoon off of the table and gave one of the wine glasses a tap. "Now to answer your questions."

[quote=Ace]"Wait, what do you mean run out? How does the magic run out- wait what happens when the magic runs out? And can we keep these?"[/quote]

[quote=Jasper]"If we run out, what will happen?"[/quote]

The Queen smiled. "Thank you for bringing up those important questions. The moment you put those amulets on they become a part of you. The glowing liquid inside can be considered your energy or in other words your life force." 

"L-Life force?" Harper sputtered, he didn't like the sound of this at all.

"I probably should have told you from the get-go." The queen let out a hearty laugh. "Well, there's no turning back now, dearies." The queen cleared her throat. "So, each time you draw upon the amulets power you lose energy and life. If the amulet runs dry...there's a big chance you'll become nothing but a husk, so use your new found abilities sparingly. If you find yourself low on energy, just rest and you'll gain more. Have a I made myself clear?"

Harper nodded his head up and down, his voice dying in his throat. There was always a catch...

The Queen then turned to Inadi with a sympathetic frown. "I'm sorry, but none of you can leave until the living list is completed. There are only eight items to go, but I suggest you hurry. Time is your enemy here." There she went again, mentioning a concept that none of the nobodies seemed to understand.

"And as for you," she gave Leon a smile and ruffled his hair. "I see you have good tastes!" She clapped both her hands together and placed her crown on Leon's head. "Take it with you for good luck! I have an entire room full of different crowns, this is my tea party crown, and it was getting kind of old." She beamed at him before telling Skitz to go grab her cake feasting crown from the storage room. "Now off with you all! Sol needs you." She began pulling each of the humans into a hug before motioning for them to leave. "Go on, go on...off with you. Zephy, take care of them for me, okay?"

The Queen ushered them out of the room and once again they bid the castle goodbye.
