Reformed.

As you make your way back to the balcony on the western side of the castle you see Karisi standing next to the table while both Lexie and Zoe are sitting down at it. The three are discussing random things and just looking off into the distance as the heart of the storm gets closer and closer. With the wind and rain picking up it was a little cooler out here on the balcony and you figure soon after you got back you would end up bringing all of them back inside.

"Hello!" you say from behind the three of them causing all three to look your direction.

"He's back!" Zoe smiles as Lexie gives you a wave. It seems the potion is already starting to give Zoe extra energy as her entire personality seems to be back to its normal self.

"Hey Karisi." you nod your head as she takes a step towards you which allows you to place your left hand on her right shoulder "He wants to talk, so we'll see you soon." you give her a smile before stepping to the side allowing Karisi to leave back into the castle to go speak with her father once more.

"What was that all about?" Lexie asks as you step forward and give her a kiss on the top of her head, sitting down next to her in the chair.

"Not my story to tell!" you smile at the two of them "We'll see what happens and if Karisi wants to share."

"So, Darien Darien Darien! This potion is like, wow wow wow!" she looks at you with the biggest smile and wide as could be eyes "I feeeeel great!!!" she sings. "I think we should...EKK!" she gets startled by a giant boom of thunder "Ahh wow wow wow!" the three of you look off into the distance and see the massive storm showcasing it's magnitude.

"I'm glad we're inside here but I hope the rest of the Syndicate is safe." Lexie replies "Everybody in the mountain will be great but all these civilians in the Syndicate...I hope they stay in doors."

"This is going to be a disaster..." you stand up and peer out into the distance "We never get much rain this far north but look now, the ground isn't absorbing it all so there will most likely be a lot of flooding as well."

"But but but but but we can help!" Zoe jumps out of her seat "It's just a little bit of water! After this is all done we can help around! That's what we'll do! The Sunriders will help!"

The three of you continue to sit and catch up at the table as you continue to watch the storm come in. You don't really know how long you were out there but the three of you figure you would wait until Karisi got back before going to the kitchen and grabbing some food. Plus with how powerful the storm was going around outside it was quite entertaining to just sit and listen to the strength behind it.

The rumbles and blasts of sound were getting much bigger and bigger as the wind picked up forcing the vertical rain to almost come horizontal. The three of you started to get quite wet from the rain coming from the side. It was unreal how powerful this storm was because in your entire life, you have never seen rain come from the side as much as this storm is producing. With another rumble and loud boom of thunder you think the three of you should probably retreat to safety inside the castle, "We should probably go inside now..." you suggest as the three of you are now getting hit by rain and cooled off by the ever blowing wind.

They both agree instantly and the three of you leap up from the table and make your way back inside the castle. As you hold the door for the two of them and allow them to enter you step in behind and see the Queen standing there. As you notice Karisi, you push in between Lexie and Zoe and look at her "Well? What's up, Karisi? How'd it go?" you rattle off question after question.

Karisi doesn't say a word but instead steps forward and lunges her body into yours. Her arms wrap around your body and pull you in close as her cheek rests against your chest. It kind of caught you by shock as you held your arms out wide before they slowly began to curl in around the Queen's body, holding her close in your own. The amount of pressure she was hugging you with you could tell what you said to the father must have worked because this might be the happiest you've ever seen her.

"Uhhhhh?" Zoe breaks the moment "What's that all about?! Huh huh huh?" she smiles "Oh Kariiiiisiiiiiii!" Zoe sings out as she looks between the two of you.

Karisi steps back and smiles at Zoe, turns her head and smiles at Lexie and then looks at you, her toothy smile, her happy grin, her cheeks were bunched up as big as can be. "Darien..." she whispers out into you "Thank you, thank you so much."

You figure her dad most likely forgave her which makes you feel happy. You did what you could and even though Karisi has pissed you off so much, has lied to you and honestly has only looked out for herself, you hoped that showing up for her and doing your best for her family would really put you a leg up over everybody else. As you give her a grin back "No worries, Karisi" you return a playful wink "I'll always watch out for and care for you."

"I-I-I don't know why..." she whispers, only loud enough for you to hear since you're in her arms "I don't know why you continually help me even after everything I've done to you but...but..." she swallows hard as she pulls you in even harder "Thank you so much. You...you have no idea." you bring your hand down to caress the backside of her skull.

"Karisi...." you place your chin on the top of her head as you whisper out "You and I don't see eye to eye all the time but it doesn't change the fact that you are without a doubt the most powerful wom..." you get interrupted as Karisi changes her stance and goes to her tip toes to push her face up towards yours. Her lips connect with yours, shutting you up but you don't reciprocate the kiss as well as she wanted.

"Hah hah!" Lexie laughs as she's one hundred percent okay with sharing you if needed "Go ahead Darien! Kiss her back!" Lexie orders as she watches on.

After hearing that your left arm wraps around Karisi's upper back and holds her tight in your grasp. Your lips attack into hers as your tongue parts and tries to gain entry into your Queen. She doesn't deny you at all as the two of you hold each other tight, making out hard and swapping spit with one another. After about twenty seconds the two of your break your kiss and back your heads away, looking hungrily into each others eyes.

"Wow." Zoe begins "wow wow wow!" she taunts. "Calm down now!"

You shake your head and grumble out "Got carried away..." you break your embrace with Karisi and look towards Lexie with a giant grin on your face.

"Was hot." was all Lexie said as she gave you a sensual wink "Now come on, let's go grab some food!" she takes a step forward before Karisi grabs her wrist and forces Lexie's body to crash into her own.

You didn't hear everything Karisi whispered into Lexie's ear but you did hear something that made you jump with joy. "You are one lucky woman....." With a smile on your face you strode towards the kitchen, ready to continue your storm filled night with three wonderful ladies.
