Lilith looked down at the wand, her mouth almost salivating at it's presence, she reached forward slowly and it began to glow "Oh how long I have waited for you" she whispered touching the base of the wand ever so softly, the clear sky overhead began to grow dark and a terrible chill picked up.
"How many hours have I dreamt of your return to me" she finally picked it up from Edens hand as a bolt of lightening hit behind them "for you to return home to the safety of my hand!"

*Eden watched the moment silently, in awe actually. She wasn't afraid of the coming darkness. After all, she was fainted to be a dark witch and her father was a demon. What was there to fear? She just stood patiently, waiting and wondering.*
*Icarus flinched slightly, his muscles taut as he lifted his eyes. Something was probably coming (wasn't it always?) and he wanted to be ready. He didn't regret the decision, it was certainly better than the other options, but that didn't make it ideal.*

"Cripes!" Wolf grabbed hold of Lyra and held her back.

Lilith slowly began to raise off the ground, a dark cloud ever growing at her feet as she rose.
The cloud slowly enveloped her until only the glowing wand could be seen.
For a moment there was only darkness, only the murky clouds and the smell of brimstone in the air... and the sound of a laugh. As the laugh grew louder the clouds began to dissipate revealing Lilith in her most natural form.
Her eyes were small and black as two giant leathery wings sprouted out from her back, she was twisting, molding herself in to something so despicably demonic that it almost bore no explanation. Her clothes had burned from her body, but they no longer mattered, for her body had become a black mold of what could be considered a human body; encrusted in ash and something that smelled of tar.
She had grown ten times her size and hovered high above the others, clutching the wand in her clawed fist.

*Icarus crouched slightly as she rose, a sudden concern welling in him. But not Eden. She stood proudly, staring at Lilith, watching every motion in fascination.*

Her dark eyes watched the child closely as she descended, and although she was large, when her feet touched the ground it made no sound, caused nothing to be disturbed.
She reached out a hand and offered it to Eden "Maybe I was wrong about you love" her voice seemed to echo throughout the forest.

*Eden did not flinched at the sound, but her brow did lift as she kept her focus on Lilith's eyes, not yet taking her hand.*
"How so?" *She asked in child-like innocence.*

Lilith towered over Eden "To continue my legacy, through the daughter of my wretched spawn" she smiled "through you, I can see ultimate power, but not just for myself my dear, but for you, and for your father" her eyes strayed to Icarus.
"For he is one of my own now."

*Icarus's eyes shot to Lilith, questioning though he remained silent. Eden scrunched her nose, trying not to look back at her father.*
"So...what does that mean? What do you want?"

"I want to destroy your mother" she said as the wind kicked it up a notch, ya heard grew more violent.
"If I do not succeed, if she in some way defeats me, I will pass my title to you" her gigantic ears twitched.

*Eden felt it. The first true promise of power. And it made her hungry. It was rather awesome.*
"Ok. That sounds good."
*She smiled innocently.*
"Does that mean that we're back at the negotiating table?"

Lyra, at the edge of the clearing, maintained her ground. For she refused to show fear, for all that she had every reason to be frightened. Pan was whispering frantically at her that they needed to go, his shape shifting between several small creatures as if he could not control it. She patted Wolf's hand, feeling sorry for him--it seemed this was not the mistress he'd expected.
She did not like Lilith.
"What is she doing?" she whispered to Wolf.

Wolf whined up at the form that was now his queen and furrowed his brow "That wand did this" he looked down at Lyra with a very sad face and sniffed "she's not human, I don't know how I didn't smell it before."
Wolf didn't exactly know what Lilith was, but he still felt an overwhelming urge to be at her side. She was stronger than anything he had ever encountered.

A large clawed hand reached down and picked up Eden, without unsettling her stance in the slightest "I will train you" she said "and you and your father may live with me, a place safe from interruptions, where no one will find you, unless of course, you want to be found."

Yes.
*Eden swelled in excitement. But then something crept into her mind. Why did he have to go and spoil things? Such perfectly wicked things?*
"Would I...be able to visit someone else?"
