Previously on Douxie x OC
"We're finally going home, together." I smile and Douxie takes my hand.
"Everywhere is home for me as long as you're there, my love."
"Aw honey! I love you!"
"I love you too."
------------------------------------------------
Mailins PoV:
We exit the portal in our time again and are sailing now through the clouds.
"Welcome back to the 21st century!" Douxie says cheerfully.
"Ah! Sweet, sweet pollution. How I missed you!" Steve inhales and coughs. Then his phone goes off rapidly. "Heh! Reception! Hot dang! So many messages."
We look upfront alarmed as Jim yells in pain while the shard sinks further towards his heart.
"Hold on! Please!" Claire says while holding him.
"Man, oh, man! Can this get any worse?" Steve asks and just after that we see Camelot, falling towards the ground.
We fly towards it to rescue Merlin, Toby and Arrrgh.
"Need at Lift?" Douxie asks.
"Douxie!" Toby calls out happily.
"But you're trapped in the past!" Archie says after cuddling Douxie.
"Not anymore." Douxie says and helps Merlin on board.
"Took you long enough. We have much to talk about." Merlin says.
Jim groans again in pain.
"I'm getting everyone home safe, as promised." Douxie says and is about to steer away.
"Not yet! We're missing one!" Merlin and I say.
Nari then jumps onto the ship "Merlin!"
Then we fly away and barely past a tower about to crush us.
Douxie lands us next to the school which has just been crushed by Camelot.
Steve chuckles "I guess school's out for the ever. Aw, man, I never cleaned out my locker!"
"Your beautiful school home was crushed." Nari says after sliding down after him.
"So..." Toby chuckles "now that we've cheated death, quick Q. Who's the little magic plant lady?"

"Nari. She renounced the Arcane Order and sought asylum in Camelot and Merlin protects her ever since." I explain as I walk up next to him.
"Ok and who are you?" Toby asks me.
"Mailin Casperan, I was once Queen of Camelot." I answer with a fond smile as I remember ruling Camelot with Douxie at my side.
"Casperan? As in Douxies last name?" Toby asks confused.
"Yes, she's my wife." Douxie chuckles while putting his arm around my waist.
I smile at him and peek him on the cheek.
We then also slide off board and stand around Jim, who's grunting as the shard goes further towards his heart.
"Poor soul. Your corruption..." Nari gasps while kneeling next to him "I can feel it worsening."
"There has to be something we can do." Douxie says.
"I told you nine hundred centuries ago, there isn't." Merlin says.
"You remember what happened?" Douxie asks surprised.
"Like it was yesterday, which, for you, it was. I know it was a hard choice, but you did the right thing for the sake of the world." Merlin says while Douxie looks at the ground sadly.
Suddenly the castle of the arcane order appears above us.
We look up and gasp. Jim screams again in pain.
"We've gotta get him out of here!" Claire says worriedly.
"Stop! The shard's creeping towards his heart again!" Merlin says as Claire tries to move him.
"Nari, come back to us and finish the work you have begun!" Bellroc shouts angrily.
"You misunderstand our grand vision." Skrael says.
"They are under our protection." Douxie says as we stand in front of Nari and Jim.
"If you want them, you've gotta go through us!" Claire shouts angrily and Merlin forms a shield around him, Nari and Jim.
"So be it." Bellroc shouts. The mouth of the skull opens, and the green knight jumps in front of us.

Toby, arrgh and Steve attack but he easily throws them away. He points his sword at us "Nari, Trollhunter, you are mine."
Douxie plays a riff on his spellcaster guitar and fires a beam of magic at the green knight. The green knight blocks it and dodges Claire's portals.
He attacks Douxie and throws his guitar away. He raises his sword and is about to hit him, but Claire opens a portal and Douxie lands beside me, behind Claire.
We turn as Jim screams. My eyes widen as he shoves the shard fully in and turns into a full troll. He holds the green knight back and roars at us to run.
We do and hide in an alleyway. The skull flies above the city, scanning it with huge headlights from its eyes.
Once it passed us, we step out onto the street again. Claire wants to run back to Jim, but Douxie holds her back.
"There was nothing we could do! We'll go back for him, I promise."
"We can't. We must hide Nari. There's more at stake than you know."
Blinky then says we need to seek refuge to regroup.
"Where?" Merlin asks. "The order has roamed this planet for centuries. They know all my places of power."
Douxie puts his hand on his chin and thinks. He turns to look at a shop that still looks open "I know a place with plenty of power where the Order's magic won't find us."
We walk towards a tech shop called Hex Tech and enter.
"Zoey!" Douxie chuckles and a woman turns towards us. She has bright blue eyes and short pink hair. "We need a place to lay low."
"Hisirdoux Casperan! You have a lot of nerve." She says and crosses her arms in front of her chest.
"Yes, like cutting in line." Krel says annoyed.
"We were supposed to hunt niffins and get burgers, remember?" The girl says annoyed.
I squint at her at that and stand next to Douxie with my arms crossed "who's she?" Zoey and I ask Douxie at the same time with a glare.
Douxie chuckles nervously and then sighs relieved when Krel speaks up, which saves him from having to answer.
"Toby! What are you doing here?" Krel asks him as Toby runs up to us.
"Evil wizards Shot down our time-traveling castle and stole monster-Jimbo!" Toby explains in one go.
Zoey groans "Come on, let's head to the back." She walks over to a metal door, and it opens, leading down a hallway.
"What are we doing here?" Merlin asks annoyed. "We're Not Safe in this toy store."
Zoey hits Douxie on the shoulder "Yeesh! You brought your boss here?" Then she calls down the hallway "We're closed to privileged Arthurian toolbags."
"Come on, Krel. We're on a mission." Toby waves him over and we walk down the hallway.
"Welcome to the real Hex Tech." Zoey says as she shows us around. "Back here we charm the mortal's electronics into shape and use the cash to fund our own mystical pursuits."
"Hex Tech is run entirely by underground hedge wizards." Archie adds.
At the end of the hallway another door opens, and we enter a room with a big forest like wallpaper.
"You guys should be safe here. I have to go back." Zoey says, steps up to close to Douxie, to which I glare at her.
I'm not jealous, not at all.
Zoey warns him not to break anything, glares at me and leaves, closing the door behind her.

Witchbone: The Goblins Winter
Themes found in these stories include friendship, found family, defying negative expectations, trying to figure out how to be a force for good in your corner of the world, doing heroic things even if you don't look or feel like a hero, and that being different isn't necessarily fatal. Summary: A spell of arctic weather. A mysterious death. The reading of a will. Strange tracks in the snow. Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow accepts his life, such as it is. His father is dead, his mother left years ago. His three Keepers are the only people aware of Danny's erratic and not-very-impressive psychic abilities. He has no friends, he's been suspended from school, and he's responsible for the life of a small brown bat that's ended up in his care. When Danny's estranged Uncle Enoch dies under mysterious circumstances, he and his Keepers are called to the town of Eddystone, New Hampshire for the reading of the man's will. Traveling four hundred miles from his dreaded hometown to attend, Danny is happy to get away, possibly inherit something interesting- and maybe find out more about his family while he's there. Arriving at the crumbling family estate of Gnomewood Home, he finds it to be hauntingly familiar, a bit creepy, oddly comforting, and possibly alive. When his uncle's will reveals that he's inherited Gnomewood and everything in it, he's determined to stay and make a happier life for himself in Eddystone, somehow. But at Gnomewood, he finds more questions than answers to his family's secrets. Disturbing old memories come to him in dreams. His psychic abilities begin to grow stronger, and as a result he becomes aware that a horde of cryptic creatures are plaguing the town of Eddystone, seemingly drawn out by the spell of an unusually frigid February. Toothy little goblins that are sneaky, vicious, and hungry. Goblins that take a particular interest in Danny. Will the emergence of the alien, and potentially dangerous, power he's inherited from his peculiar family tree help Danny survive the goblin infested winter, inadvisable attempts to befriend a terrifying boy with silver eyes, and a new school? Only if he learns to control them before they put him and everyone around him in danger. Before they convince some people that he should never have been allowed to exist at all. Before he becomes just another twisted tale in his family's bizarre history, kept hidden for centuries within the ivy-covered walls of Gnomewood Home.
