William nodded to Damien and turned to see Grimmy holding her mirror, after just catching one of the stone spears. "No!" He shouted as he saw Cbeserker turn and fly towards her. "He can fly! What!?" William shouted running towards them, abandoning Claudia.
CBerserker flew towards Grimmy at a high speed and snatched the Mirror from her hand, using his outstretched palm to send Grimhildr flying backwards. "I am sorry m'lady." He said before flying upwards towards Claudia. She jumped into his arms and the two flew away back towards Tia.
William ran and scoped up Grimhildr. "Wake up!" he shouted as he held her. But she was out cold, and until she woke she could not dispel the NP.
Back at the Gentleman's party, they were going out of control with the Metal music, and the Gentleman was starting to get annoyed. The remaining Totem had fallen off the Altar and rolled across the floor.
"Enough!" He said, slightly raising his voice.
The skull totem rolled and landed next to a girl, with platinum blonde hair. She bent down to pick it up, as she placed her hand on the skull, winds and electricity started to pulse around the totem.
"Well it seems that is that then. The rest of you enjoy the party!" He said before clicking his fingers and all those who held a Totem was transported to his back room as well as Victoria.
"Now wait here for your true prizes. Even you Ms Victoria." He said before leaving through a door, leaving Tenma, Jamal, Will, Eliza and Victoria behind.
Claudia and Cberserker had returned to Tia, and had arrived in the ritual chamber. The Gentleman walked in. "So do you have it?" He asked.
Claudia nodded and CBerserker presented the Magic mirror.
"Perfect." The Gentleman responded. "Now lets begin!" He said with a hint of Malice in his voice. And walked up to the giant stone wheel in the centre of the room.
"Claudia, do you know what this is?" He asked the girl.
"No."
"It's a wheel of time." CBerserker responded.
"Very good, but I expect nothing less from one such as yourself Mr Newton." The Gentleman continued. "This wheel of time has been recording history for centuries and now with this, we can take it into our own hands."
"Change history?" Claudia asked sceptically.
"Ha hardly, this does not possess the power to alter only read. But this!" He said holding up Grimhildr's mirror and placing it in the centre of the wheel. "This holds dark magic, the ability to inverse. Now Black join me." He said holding out his hand.
Claudia reluctantly held his hand, it was so cold. "With this mirror we will look into the future, and arm our horsemen with the experience needed to win this war." He said as he took out four strands of hair from his inner pocket and they started to float around and then he thrust both his and Claudia's hand onto the face of the mirror.
It was an intense blast. The hair had provided the past memories of their owners, but the mirror took that and showed the possible futures, but twisted and corrupted by darkness. Claudia removed her hand. "No! To much evil lives in these visions. These are visions of the future, it clashes with my power."
"You are weak!" The Gentleman said forcing her hand back onto the mirror. CBerserker stepped forward to assist Claudia, but The Gentleman flicked his wrist and CBerserker was swarmed by branches and vines. "You think a mere servant can stop me now! Now you will read!" The visions struck Claudia, death, destruction, she saw her precious London in flames. This is what the Gentleman had wanted, warriors that knew death and destruction. After what seemed like an eternity he allowed Claudia to drop away, but not before she had seen the story his memories held.
"Now, imprint!" He said holding out 4 seeds, the same types of seeds Claudia had used to grow her treemen. He lifted her hand and placed them on the seeds, against herself she had to get rid of the memories or visions, the darkness of Grimhildr's mirror corrupting relentlessly. But this was what the Gentleman had wanted, had he seen what she had seen, regardless she was going to give him exactly what he had wanted, someone so corrupt as he would have to rethink his choices.
"It is done." She said removing her hand, breathing heavily. The Gentlemen closed his hand and walked away, releasing CBerserker from his entanglement. Cberserker went and picked up Claudia. "I think we have made a mistake Berserker, no school contest is worth what he wants to release."
The Gentleman started to walk back to the room with his 5 new recruits, leaving Claudia in the dark.
