Broken Crown

Wundergore Mountain was covered by snow during that season. At the end of the room, Morgan, with her back facing me. She slowly turned around with The Darkhold floating in her hand. Molly was still unconscious lying on the ground in the corner of the room.

"Wanda, welcom-"

"Cut to the chase, Morgan," I interrupted her.

"How rude, Wanda," Morgan smirked. "I was just greeting you."

"I came. Now, let Molly go," I demanded.

"Fine," she waved her hand, shattering the chain that restrained Molly.

I immediately circled my hand and opened a portal, leading to the sanctum, then quickly closed it after Molly fell in it.

"Sling Ring, you've learned some trick," said Morgan, then hid her Darkhold by making it disappear in thin air.

"This is between us now."

"You seem pretty healthy. You recovered rather quickly," Morgan said while walking forward toward the table.

"Can I ask you something? Why do you want to kill me so bad?"

"I guess you have the right to know," she said, leaning forward and placing both hands on the table. "Centuries ago, when I conjured up Chthon. I found him too powerful, so my friends and I tried to banish him but instead sealed him at this place at the throne of the Scarlet Witch without us knowing." That explained the sculpture of a Scarlet Witch on the wall behind her.

That also explained how I got my power. I was born in this area. Our parents told Pietro and me when we were kids before bed. They told us they would bring us here one day, but that day never came until this day.

"He chose you, Wanda."

"But that still doesn't explain why you hate me."

"Not you, Wanda, only the Scarlet Witch. You see, Chthon blessed my friend with Chaos Magic. She was too dangerous, so I killed her. While dying, she banished me into The Dark Dimension, separating me from my FAMILY!" she shouted and slammed her hand on the table. "Six months in the world with no time, I became stronger and stronger each day. One day, the dimension cracked and shattered. I escaped but found out that I am in 2023. My family was long gone, for centuries. The reason that I could escape was because of you. You became The Scarlet Witch. Your existence caused the nexus event in the timelines."

"Nexus?"

"You messed up the Sacred Timeline, Scarlet Witch. You are the Nexus Being," Morgan started to levitate.

"Where did you get all this information?" I asked her.

"I wasn't just walking the park in the Dark Dimension." Her eyes started to glow. "I tried my best to escape, to see my family again, but I found out more and more about the universe or the multiverses. Thank you for breaking me out, Wanda, but I will kill every Scarlet Witches, including you," she flipped the heavy stone table at me.

I extended my hand and turned the hard-rocked table into a bunch of red butterflies like Agatha told me to be more creative with my reality wrapping. I gathered up the butterflies around me like a tornado as I slowly levitated. They formed into a pair of butterfly wings on my back and flapped to release the Chaos Magic, knocking Morgan against the wall and cracking it. After my attack, Morgan quickly gained balance and slammed her hands on the ground, summoning a bunch of viper waves from all directions. I blasted at them as much as I could, then flapped the wings and turned the rest into ashes, including the magnificent butterflies. Red ashes blended with snow like they were dancing with each other until they reached the ground. Morgan quickly stomped her foot, creating a wave on the ground. She folded matter in the real world, Stephen told me not to take advantage of it, but it seemed like the time to use it against her. I stomped my feet, sending my wave to her. Both clashed, sending the rocks to bounce out the away. Morgan blew the wind, sending the rocks at me and hitting the crown and cracking it, then I blocked the rest with the Chaos Magic energy protective shield.

Morgan shapeshifted the Cloak and duplicated the Ravens, then sent them toward me. I put myself in the energy shield while the Ravens dived at me. All of a sudden, thrust an abnormal-sized viper out of the ground wrapped itself around me, and bit me on my left shoulder. My energy shield broke, causing the Ravens to attack. I felt like getting stabbed by 50 daggers. While I struggled in pain, I released the Chaos Magic, turning all of them, including the viper into nothing but ashes. I didn't feel so well. The bleeding didn't stop and the poison rushed through my vein. When I got dizzy and couldn't hold my balance, Morgan telekinetically pulled me closer to her, conjured a glass, and stabbed me in my chest. I pushed her away and fell to the ground. She lifted me off the ground, then hurled me upward, slamming me on the ceiling. I couldn't breathe and was burning inside by the poison after I fell back on the ground. I could feel the Crown broken in half as it slid off my forehead.

"Reality Wrapping wasn't the only ability you can do," I recalled what Agatha said.

"Since your wounds are almost completely healed and the struggling is gone," said Agatha. "Scarlet Witch has a powerful reality wrapping, but that isn't everything you can do."

"I'm capable of doing more?" I asked her.

"Healing is one of them, but it requires a lot of focus," Agatha flicked her hand to distinguish the candles in the room. "Now, you can start to focus on where your pain comes from, let the Chaos Magic flow in it, and speed up the healing process. If you don't want to leave any scars, be creative with it."

I started to do what she told me to, focus and locate the pain. I could feel the Magic flow around them, and the pain slowly faded away. I completely healed my wounds that day. I was no longer in any pain, so my lessons got easier and quicker.

After Morgan's attack, I tried to locate every pain in my body and let the Chaos Magic do its job. As my wounds glowed red and slowly regenerated, I placed my hands on the broken glass and turned it into ashes so my chest wound could heal. To proceed, I forced myself to spit out the poisonous blood. After a few seconds, my bleeding stopped, and my wounds healed completely. Since my outfit was heavily damaged, I waved my hand, and the red glowing of my Magic ran across my body, creating a new Scarlet Witch outfit. I created a scarlet wedding dress that touched the ground with a corset wrapped around my waist and a pair of long-sleeve net gloves with a rose on my wrist. I replaced the Scarlet Witch Crown with a scarlet veil flipped over my head. This outfit reminds me of the happiest moment of my life, marrying Vision and having a family as every woman dreamed. (To see the outfit visually, check out my Instargram. ljim_yl )

Morgan was surprised after seeing what I could do. She got furious and conjured The Scared Sword of Vishanti. Her body started to blend in with smoke, then quickly disappeared. My guard was up to prepare for her trick. She teleported behind me and tried to slash me on my back but Morgan fell right into my trap. She slashed an illusion after the blade went right through my clone, revealing a bunch of butterflies. She turned around and tried to find me. I appeared behind her and basted her with an uppercut motion. The red of my Chaos Magic with the magnificent red fireflies flying around made the throne room look extraordinary. While Morgan was in the air, I telekinetically pulled and slammed her on the ground, causing her to bounce back up. I grabbed and threw her over my head, slamming her on the ground behind me. When she bounced up again, I charged and launched the Chaos Magic Missiles at her like a red firework, slamming her into the wall. Her outfit is now heavily damaged from the burning and scratches from the rock.

"Give up, Morgan," I said gently.

"Never!" she exclaimed. "That hurts. You didn't hold back this time," she spat the blood in her mouth, then wiped it.

"Because I know what you are capable of doing. You draw power from The Dark Dimension just like I do."

"Then I will also dial it up a little. Is that what your people say these days?" Morgan charged up.

I could feel the ground rumble like an earthquake, and her aura worried me. It was powerful and dangerous. She levitated with her hands out. Violet energy mixed with green flowed around her madly. To my knowledge, Red Magic is Chaos Magic, Purple is Darkhold, Blue is Witchcraft, and Orange is Eldritch Magic but Green. Isn't that Asgard Magic? Morgan fired her shot, which broke me out of my thought. A giant green blast was coming toward me, destroying what was before it. I lifted the ground and created the walls with a staircase motion using Dark Dimension Magic's Matter Folding. While the blast was destroying each wall one by one, I summoned the Shield of the Seraphim around me with the Chaos Magic energy shield. The blast had broken every wall and made an impact against my shield. I tried to hold my ground and keep the shield up, or it would be my end. The shield started to crack from the blast, and soon it would break. I kept holding until the Shield of the Seraphim broke, then immediately cast the Hoary Hosts of the Hoggoth to banish the spell, turning it into green sand. Morgan used all of her strength for the blast. Her legs weakened, forcing her to kneel on the ground. As I also used most of my energy and strength in those counter spells, it's time to put an end to this.

"Impossible..." said Morgan weakly.

"Time to go, Morgan," I said, walking slowly toward her.

"Come to kill me? Go ahead. I'm out of tricks."

"I'm not a monster, Morgan," I said, then cast a spell, causing her to pass out. I only could this spell when the enemy is weakened. I also cast another spell to reveal the Darkhold from thin air. After all of this mess, I circled my hand to open a portal, leading to Stephen's.

"Stephen!" I called.

"Wanda? You did it," he said.

"Where is Agatha?" I asked him.

"She is nursing Molly in the other room,"

"Good," I lifted Morgan and the Darkhold, then walked past the portal. "You have a prison for her?" I asked Stephen.

"Karma-Taj will take care of her," he replied.

"Just don't kill her," I joked.

"Got it, no killing," he played along.

"This time, keep it safe," I handed him the Darkhold.

"I will. I see you changed your style," Stephen said, taking the Darkhold floated to him.

"To show I'm different from the other Scarlet Witches, unlike them I don't have my Crown on.

"I see. It looks good on you, the wedding dress."

"Thank you," I said, smiling at him.

"Wanda," called Agatha. "You're back- oh, is that-?"

"Yes- Morgan Le Fay," I answered right away.

"Well, she looks damn fine for her age," said Agatha. "You also look good in that wedding dress."

"You two catch up. I will bring Morgan and the Darkhold to Karma-Taj," said the doctor, then portaled his way to Karma-Taj.

"See you," I said.

"Do you want to see Molly?" asked Agatha.

"Yes, lead the way," I replied.

***

After arriving at Molly's room, she was already awake. As I stepped closer, she tilted her head to look at us.

"Wanda!" she shouted in joy.

I walked a little quicker to hug her on her bed. "Are you alright?" I said to her like I was talking to Billy and Tommy.

"A little pain, but I'm fine," said Molly.

"Wait," I pressed my hands on her temples to feel her pain, then healed it. Her bruises glowed red, then disappeared along with the bruises. "Better?"

"Yes..." she said in surprise. " I felt good, that's so cool!"

I smiled at her. Molly is like a child, probably around my age, when I volunteered in a Hydra's experiment.

"You seem to have mastered the healing spell, I'm very impressed," Agatha said.

"All thanks to a good teacher," I smiled at her, and she smiled back.
