"Oof!" Jawn stumbled when she found the younger girl in her arms, "Eh... A little help here, Jesu?"

"Don't look at me," Jesu stated.

"Oooh, 'Kay..." Ember stared at her.

"Ask her what's wrong," Jesu suggested, eying Ember, suspiciously.

"You do it!" Ember exclaimed.

"You're the one holding her," Jawn pointed out.

"I hate you guys," Ember growled, "Hey... Mystic? What's up?"

"I'm dead," she murmured, sadly.

"What?" Jesu demanded.

"The version of me from this world was killed," Mystic nodded, "And apparently my king was a fake as well."

"That's awful," Jawn placed a sympathetic hand on her shoulder.

"I know," Mystic sighed, "But the good news is that I have a plan to reveal him as a fraud."

"Good!" Ember approved, "That's wonderful. What do we need to do?"

"I decided you just need to stay out of our way," Mystic informed.

"Oh... Okay," Ember comprehended.

"So... What do we do then?" Jesu inquired.

"I meant all of you," Mystic corrected, "You think I only meant Ember? Wow, you guys are jerks."

"But, Mystic!" Jawn objected.

"No, buts," Mystic held up her hand, "We'll tell you when we're ready."
