"So... what did you need the totem for?" You ask Eda.

"I just thought it looked cool. Did you get in and out alright? You were there for a while." Eda says.

Your face goes red remembering the events that happened last night.

How peaceful it was to dance with him..

And how you kissed him.

"Just got a bit stuck for a while.." you mumble.

Suddenly Lilith screams from the other room.

You and Eda run to the room, along with Luz.

"Help- me!" Lilith reaches out, her hands covered in feathers.

Eda grabs a bottle of Elixir and gives it to Lilith.

"The curse is stronger if you're stressed. H- and old friend of mine used to help me calm down." You explain.

"That was.. horrible! How have both of you managed so long?" Lilith asks.

"Elixirs mostly.." you say.

"It's been hard but since we split the curse, at least the elixirs work for me again." Eda says, helping Lilith up.

"That's a relief." Lilith sighs.

She then lifts her hand, only to realize it's not there.

You and Luz back up.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. Side effect of the curse." Eda shrugs, reattaching her sister's hand.

"What." You look at your own hands.

"Don't worry Y/n, you still got 10 years or so." She says.

You suddenly notice something out the window.

"Uh... Eda? Who's that hurdling towards us?" You ask.

You, Eda, and Luz run outside.

A strange... bird tornado pauses in front of you.

"Magic bird tornado?" Luz stutters.

The tornado vanishes, revealing an older woman.

"Hello, little witchlet! Come here!" She smiles, opening her arms and running to Eda.

Eda places a hand in front of her, keeping the woman from coming closer.

"Gwendolyn." Eda says.

"Oh, are we still on that? I'm your mother! Call me mom!" The woman smiles.

"Mom!?" You, Lilith, and Luz all yell at the same time.

"It is so good to see you again! How are you feeling? Are you eating well? I heard all about the petrification ceremony. Trust me, I have a lot of strong words for that Belos." She says, shaking her head.

Lilith runs over to Eda.

"Mother! Mother, you know, I was there too." Lilith says.

"Oh hello to you too sweet flea! Still dyeing your hair, I see.. well, it's very sleek." The woman, Gwen, dismisses.

Lilith smile changes to a frown and she walks back to you and Luz.

"That's right! Today, I'm about to complete a 30 year mission!" Gwen smiles.

"Oh no." Eda looks away. You raise an eyebrow at Eda and turn back to Gwen.

"Your mother has finally succeeded. Today, I shall be curing your curse!" She exclaims.

Your eyes widen.

"No thanks." Eda says.

"WHAT?" You, Lilith, and Luz yell.
