King

King sat down by a pillar, he was told to wait, he watched as his friends battled and fought against the emperor.

He realized the fight could go both ways, and, wanted to be there for his friends when they needed him. That mistake led to so much death.

Belos

As belos held his flesh bending blade over the hexside gang, he hesitated. He looked at hunter, the reminder of his brother, how much he loved his brother, even some of the grim walkers, but that moment of hesitation failed to help him.

Luz

King blasted belos back with his sonic roar. Belos grunted, the hexside gang made a run for it with king to the portal.. but... it blew up.

Luz's skin burned from the explosion. She nearly lost consciousness. She heard something crawl away and goo slither. Belos had escaped and now she was trapped, the best day of her life.

She got up, her arm had gotten damaged due to the explosion. She looked around, Gus was okay, looked like Willow got hit in the head with some debris, nothing fatal, Amity was hurt but not dead, king was okay, but hunter...

Upon seeing the grimwalker she nearly screamed, the sigil had crawled up his body, as he was now infected with some kind of zombie virus, instead seeking to kill anyone that wasn't in the sigil system.

Luz's horror at the realization quickly ended, as she got out a fire glyph, as hunter charged toward her. She blasted him back. She didn't want to hurt him TOO badly, so she quickly entrapped him in ice to cool him down while also restraining him.

"W...what the hell..?" She said to herself. She looked down at Amity. As she fell on the ground. Kneeling beside her girlfriend.

Eda

Eda awoke, she was tired by the draining spell. Her arm had been torn off by Raine to protect her. As she got up she immediately looked behind her to her lover. "Raine!" She yelled.

She shakes Raines body, which was covered in cracks. Raine opened there eyes, they glowed a bright red. As they screeched a inhuman scream. Beginning to assault there lover.

"Raine.. what's..." she said, as she didn't expect Raine to attack her. Raine clawed at her eyes. Her anger kicked in as she screeched her own. Her remaining arm turned to a claw, gripping Raine by the throat.

But Eda was hit with something. The other coven heads suffered a similar fate, there eyes glowing there covens main color. They used there magic despite being mindless zombies. Raine whistled. As it blasted Eda.

The coven heads began a assault on Eda. Eda barely protected herself. As she went into harpy mode. She realized Lilith was likely also infected, and Hooty.. well... wait... did she need to worry bout hooty? He can probably survive, he can be a monster when he wanted to be. She wondered.

She flew away. She didn't know where Luz and King were, but she would wait in the only place she knew they would come back too. As she went back to the Owl house.

Belos

His plan backfired, he couldn't get back to the human realm. Though due to what luz did to him with the coven Sigil, he wasn't considered a target by those affected by the day of unity.

Belos' backup plan for wild witches was working.

though, horribly for him. The sigil messed with his mind. He saw figures in the dark, convincing him he was going insane.

He looked around, but, he felt, lonely. He usually didn't mind being alone but.. now, it began to get to him. He accomplished his goal, he had saved humanity, but, at what cost?

His brother, his body, his mind, his humanity, and even his empire.

He had convinced himself it was worth it, but, now, he had no purpose, he accomplished his goal. No purpose. All his suffering now was stuck with him.

His brother and his brothers clones were in his head, he felt... grief? He missed Hunter, oddly enough. He didn't have his grand plan to mask his sorrow in anymore.

Belos got angry, he had lost everything and now he felt this way? He lost everything and now he was without purpose? He angrily cut at a tree, slicing it in two.

In the corner of his eye his brother levitated, a phantom, and he could tell it was judging him, and it was disappointed.

"DONT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!" He turned, his arm turned into a blade and went through the phantoms chest, but, nothing. "I SAVED YOUR SOUL AND NOW YOU TORMENT ME!?" He screamed.

Caleb looked up, staring into his brothers eyes. "I'm sorry.." Caleb said, fading away.
