"I need your help, and therefore I have no choice whatsoever but to fold to all of your demands. And I have given my word I will do so, so it will be. But I will point out one thing." Circe said as polite as possible.
"What's that?" Kellie asked curtly.
"Making choices for your friends for them is in bad taste. Remember that. That attitude is how zealots are born. And a zealot of light is the last thing anyone needs. If they chose of their own free will to come back in pairs and transform again and leave as my children, you will not stop them from making their own choice."
Kellie sighed. She hated it when this pig make island dwelling sorceress made sense. She was going to be a lot of scotch when she got home. "Touche."
"And one last thing... I love Jack, he's family to me as much as Lilith does. Even if I don't show it as often. But that doesn't mean I'd ever allow him to harm anyone whose willing become one of my new children. If Jack, Lilith, or Baba Yaga, ever tried to harm them, I would rush to their protection."
Kellie said. "I understand. I'd do anything to protect my family too. That's why I'm hesitant to let you have your claws in them."
"At least we have that in common. And Vixi..."
"Yes my goddess?"
"I'm...." Circe couldn't believe she was saying this word! UGH! "I'm... I'm... I'm..."
"Say it Circe," Baga Yaga said matter of fact."
Circe spit. "I am SORRY for what happened to you! You died because you swore loyalty to me, you would not have died if not for your devotion to me. I am sorry this is where you loyalty led you. I will do everything to make sure you live again. And your brothers and sisters are protected."
"You gave me myself goddess, if that isn't worth dying for, then what is? But I have a lot more to live for. THANK YOU for promising me a second chance."
"You're welcome..."
