Previously on Douxie x OC

"What is that?" Steve asks confused.

"It's all we have left to guide us." Douxie gets up and wipes a tear away. "Other than that, we're on our own."

------------------------------------------------

Mailins PoV:

Douxie holds Merlin's staff and hugs it to his chest, his cheeks are still wet from the tears he shed a minute ago.

Claire is holding the book while she and Steve stood behind him.

I am standing next to Douxie, rubbing his arm soothingly which he returned with a small thankful smile.

"It's all gone. Everything." Douxie says sadly while looking at the ruins of Camelot. "The Heart of Avalon, Camelot... Merlin." Douxie picks up a shard of the heart and looks at it sadly.

"Maybe we should say a few words...?" Claire suggested.

"Yeah, okay." I heard Steve answer. "Ahem. Battleship. November. Fruit punch." Steve said before sobbing. "Purple-" he sobbed even more.

Douxie pocketed the shard. "Oh, what can I say about Merlin?" He turned to Claire and Steve. "He was... he was, uh... he was everything. He was all we had." Douxie said and sat down in the grass. I slowly kneel next to him and take his hands into mine.

"Honey, we'll get through this, together." I smile at him, and he gave me a small smile back.

"Thank you for always being there for me love."

"We need you, Doux, now more than ever. The world, our friends are in danger." Claire said and hands him the book.

"And the Order's about to kick off an arcane apocalypse." Archie added.

Douxie opened the book. "Merlin didn't tell me anything. And, of course, he gave us a book I can't even read." He held up the book to show Claire and Steve. "I mean, what is that supposed to be? Orcish? Elvish? Naga snake tribe?"

Archie gasps "It looks like... ancient Draconic."

"As in..." Douxie starts and stands up again. I get up as well.

"Charlemagne, the Devourer." Archie finishes and transforms into a dragon.

"Charlemagne, the Devourer. Keeper of the most sacred stones and treasures. A vicious dragon." Douxie explains.

"Which is why we shouldn't trouble him. Maybe someone else can translate." Archie says nervously.

"Come on, Arch! This is clearly about the Genesis Seals. And if the Order finds them first-"

"Yes, yes, yes, we're all doomed. I suppose we'll have to pay Charlemagne a visit." Archie says and transforms back into a cat.

Douxie conjures the ship back to us.

"You got back to Hex Tech. Research any dark magic that could help Jim." Douxie says to us.

I sigh and kiss Douxie. "Be careful please."

"Always am love." Douxie winks and I follow Claire through the portal.

We are back in the safe room and Claire tells the others what happened.

"I can't believe Merlin's gone." Toby says sadly.

"And Master Jim, trapped in the body of a loathsome beast by Arthur's corruption."

"I sense all living souls, small and great. And I felt Merlin's leave this plane." Nari says sadly from where she's hovering in the air.

"Nari, if you can feel all souls, what about Jim's?" Claire asks.

A determined expression forms on Naris face. "I will try." She sinks back to the ground, walks a few steps away, floats back up and holds her arms out. Vines grow below her with the echoing sound of a heartbeat.

"My roots extend across the Earth." Nari sinks back down. "But I cannot find the soul of your friend."

"So, all that's left of Jimbo is that beast?" Toby asks.

I sigh sadly at that from where I'm sitting on a bench. "If I had known father was still alive, I would've tried to get him back. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry..." I put my head in my hands.

"No, Mailin it's not your fault. You didn't know. And dark magic did this to Jim. Not your father." Claire says while comfortingly putting a hand on my shoulder.

I lift my head again and manage to give her a small smile "thank you Claire."

"I won't accept that. If we can't find his soul in this world, I'll find it in another. I'm going into the Shadow Realm." Claire says determinedly, opens a portal and enters it.

After about half an hour later Claire falls back out.

"Claire!" Toby says happily.

And aunt Morgana.

Toby screams "Evil Lady!"

Steve screams as well while Krel curses "Great Gaylen!"

"Queen of Darkness!" Blinky gasps as he holds out his arms in front of us. "Compatriots, to arms!"

"Stop! You've got it wrong!" Claire says while they get up. "She's not the enemy!"

My voice quivers as I step in front of the others "Aunt Morgana...?"

Aunt Morgana's eyes widen, and I see tears forming in her eyes "my dear niece!"

I slowly walk towards her and then pull her into a hug "I missed you Aunt Morgana!" Tears go down my cheeks. I feel her arms wrap around me as she hugs my back tightly. "I missed you too my dear niece." She says softly.

Suddenly everything shakes and the building groans.

I gasp and get up quickly. The others yelp in surprise, and we run to the front.

"They followed me." Aunt Morgana says.

We look through the glass front and our eyes widen, and we gasp as we see the huge skull in front of the building.

We run outside and Skrael, Bellroc and the green knight land in front of us.

"Enough hiding, Nari. This ends now." The green knight says.

I stand in front of her protectively "You're Not taking her!" I growl, my eyes start to glow rosé while a pink aura emits from my body.

Everyone gets ready to fight and everyone either transforms or activate their magic.

Aunt Morgana floats up and fires a spell "Elemen-zath!"

The arcane order easily dodges. We continue to fight; the arcane order is strong but so are we.

But after a brave fight Skrael fires a huge ice beam, the others run back inside, screaming but get trapped in his ice.

I was able to dodge it by flying up into the air.

I land again in front of my friends and hold my hands together. A rosé orb materializes "LUMOS MAXIMA!" I shout, it grows rapidly, explodes and blinds the order momentarily with its bright light.

"What kind of magic was that?" Claire asks confused, her head wasn't fully encased.

"Magic Douxie and I learned 10 years ago abroad in a school for witchcraft and wizardry." I answered with a sly smirk.

I turn when I hear a roar and see Bellroc shooting a huge fire beam.

With a shout I draw my hands apart and form a force field, but it gets broken. I get thrown back by its force and am encased in ice as well.

They then take us onto their ship.
