Suddenly I felt dizzy, and said, "Hey, Headmistress, why do I feel so dizzy all of sudden?" As James was just
about to fall, a 400,000 pound kurohyou said,"Release me,or do you want James to crash down on those women?" "No, but who are you?" "We can play 20 damn questions later! Now release me!" the kurohyou snapped. He obeyed-just in time to see the Black Panther race across the room to the kitsune, and to James, then stood up on her hind legs, picked James Kingsley up, and said, "Headmistress, is there a bedroom where James can relax?" Before she could answer, there was a knock at the door, and the girl, remembering what her mother had taught her, said, "Halt! Who goes there? Friend or foe?" The reply surprised and pleased the young girl. "Clever girl! Your mother has taught you well! You are quite right to question me. I am Megan Fox, and I'd love to be
considered a friend". "One moment while I confer with mum,OK?" "Okay, but please, don't take too long! It's a full moon tonight!" They both heard her sob, "Damn you, Merlin!" Swiftly, Headmistress Nimue de Lac closed the shutters securely. Then she shouted, "Catherine, admit her!" Catherine obeyed, but she was shocked at what she saw. "Get away, girl! You-You must not see me like-like this!" Nimue said, "We have seen worse during our centuries of existence". "Centuries?" asked Megan Fox. "Most certainly", the girl replied. "Are you allies of Merlin?" gasped Megan, in agonising pain. Before Headmistress Nimue de Lac could answer, the white-haired, white-bearded wizard she had been expecting, arrived. "Welcome, Merlin! It's been many, many centuries since we last met, REMEMBER MY VOW?" To Megan Fox's surprise and great pleasure, Merlin said in desperation, "OH NO! It can't be you! It must not be YOU! Because if it is, I'm in big trouble!" His answer was an unearthly glow of power, until her true features were revealed. She had waist-length and healthy glossy black hair, very clear and scintillating sapphire blue eyes, a long and straight nose, a high and broad forehead, a coolly aristocratic mouth, and golden armour, with sea-green sash attached at the hip of the right leg, and in her right hand was a lethal, crystalline staff. "NIMUE! THE LADY OF THE LAKE!" Merlin cried in alarm. He tried to escape, but to Megan Fox's delight, Nimue said, "You aren't going anywhere, Merlin! There are sixty-five doors in this place, and only one safe exit. Now we shall wait". "Wait? Wait for what?" Merlin asked nervously. The reply he got did nothing to calm his nerves, which was, "Not what, who?" Merlin said, "But that means Megan Fox, and she'll kill me!" Unfortunately for Merlin, God agreed with the Lady of the Lake's next statement. "Well, maybe if you'd left her alone, you wouldn't be in this mess, idiot!" she snapped. Suddenly, there was a blood-curdling roar, and the 6ft. 2in. tall female kitsune, in all its nude glory, appeared, and engaged its enemy, Merlin, in mortal combat.
