Oscar:  The same green eyes, a regal nose, and a soft smile on her rosebud mouth. It was the face of his mother, the one he hadn’t been able to recall until that moment. "So you’re my grandmother, huh? You do look like her."

Oscar:  Oscar snorted. Feeling the weight of his sword in his hands, he stepped outside the barrier. The room was an ocean of blood. Crimson had been splattered all across the walls, gleaming as it dripped. A huge pool of blood had formed on the floor, and a woman was lying facedown in the middle of it. Her face wasn’t visible. But he knew who she was.

Lavinia:  The witch tossed him a scornful look. A spell coalesced in her right hand. "If only you’d just kept sleeping. You’d be so much happier."

Oscar:  "It would be pointless for me to be the only happy one."

Lavinia:  "Aggravating child."

Kevin:  "Lavinia! Wait!" A never-before-seen look of desperation on his face, the former king appealed to the witch. "My son has done nothing wrong! If you have to kill someone, take me—"

Lavinia:  "It’s not a matter of wrongs. If it were, then my fool of a daughter would be most to blame." Lavinia returned her gaze to Oscar. She extended her bespelled hand toward him, and the finely wrought magic followed. "You must die and balance out the fate that was altered." With that, she let the spell fly. A high wall of flames hemmed Oscar in. The temperature in the room soared, and Oscar’s lungs struggled to breathe in the scorching air.

Oscar:  "I’ll be fine." Oscar focused his mind. Taking a deep breath in and releasing it slowly, he visualized the spell within the flames. When the core became clear, he took a step toward it. Defying the waves of heat that every instinct told him to retreat from, he thrust Akashia into the heart of the fire. The threads snapped. Oscar pulled Akashia back, then did a lengthwise sweep to unbind the spell. Searing winds blew his hair back. The walls of flame disintegrated. Fire scattered across the room, struck Tinasha’s barrier, and vanished, leaving only scorching gusts.
