Joella looked at the scene with Aimileona and Mal'Akh in dismay. Not understanding why
Mal'Akh thought Aimileona would be healthy again from the death of Joella's parents. 'She
must be so fixated on thinking that my parents were wicked that she thinks everything bad
must be related to them.' Joella thought simply and there was no one to correct her.
Lark looked at the mean girl, for the first time, saw someone who wasn't being mean for
(apparently) no reason. She saw a girl who was sad to see her sister wasn't well. Lark's
foster siblings and Joella NEVER got sick, but she had seen what sickness was, it was horrid
and detestable. Lark felt hesitant and unsure on how to help a girl who had thought Lark
wasn't a person, and who Lark thought was just a bully.
She saw the look on Joella's face. And Lark did the only thing she could think of. She
hugged Joella and said, "Joella… I promise, and I'm sure I speak for all of us, we'll stay with
you, we'll all stay with you, till the bitter end. We won't leave you, not a hundred years, not
in a hundred hundred years!"
"We promissse never to leave you our missstressss." Hissed Linus.
"Never to leave your side our lady mistress." Said Father Draco.
"Never to leave your side our master." Equality bowed at the girl his size.
"Never to leave your side master." Hercules said, and this was followed by all of the witch
pride in turn.

Marie-Eliza thought back on all that had happened. All the good and evil that the game
had done of the centuries. Balanced it out in her mind, and thought about it. And came to
a conclusion.
'I place this geass upon myself,' Marie-Eliza swore, 'I PROMISE to never ever let the game,
or any incarnation of the game, or any form of the game, in any shape or form or guise,
come into existence again or be allowed to continue to exist. Or anything resembling the
game! Magic will be have to WORKED FOR AND LEARNED again! Like any craft or skill. It'll
no longer be tied to the game… with the game's death, magic returns to the world in full.
If the game, or anything that was like the game to enable a Tranform or Dare, magic would
continue to be dead to this world… and that… has been just TOO WRONG~! Magic is a
NATURAL part of creation, for this world to be the only place without it save for one small
town where it remains concentrated enough to FEED magic strong enough to enable the
Transform or Dare… is just too wrong… MAY THIS GEASS SHALL NEVER BE BROKEN! May
with the death of the game, the power of Transform or Dare in any incarnation or guise be
gone from Glendale, the planet Earth, EVERYONE EVERYWHERE FOREVER!!!! … No more
hand outs, for good or evil.'

Mal'Akh told the puts, "I told Joella that the witches were the ones who made my sister
mad, Joella told me to go to-" Mal'Akh realized that wasn't a good word to say around
children, " … ahem, she told me that I was wrong. I realized that was something about her
I'd never be able to change… but… seeing the complete ruin of the manor, I realized how
meaningless all this violence was… and… it didn't matter anymore… "
