The day after
N/A: Kitty why are you so cute?
@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling
Changes hit the harem right in the nose as the number decreased. Lorna and Rachel are sent back home on the same day. Rachel hugs Kitty tightly and wishes for the woman to be safer (“Kiddo, no matter how old you are, you´re still Kiddo for me” “thank you, Ray,”) ignoring the eyesore that is the necromancer. Lorna did the same and hopes Kitty stays safe and if she needs anything she can ask her.
And as if Zaorva is listening to her prayers. Cerise is sent home. Turns out the civil war of Shiar is over, Lilandra is the new Queen and to make this even more legit, Pheonix is on her side.
Jean Grey dies and the entity makes a deal with the red hair, she can return and have a physical body if she does not mind share with Pheonix. Rachel and Scott now have to deal with this new situation.
Kitty and Cerise aren´t that close but the woman still hugs Kitty and wish her well.
“Be on Zaorva´s grace” Kitty can´t help to say that until she remembers she is a shiar. Cerise just smiles in good humour.
“Let the flames alive is the equivalent of Zaorva´s grace, take care, Kitty” Cerise waves off and goes to Lilandra to help her planet with the new ordeal that sure is waiting for them.
Kurt watches everything with narrow eyes. Arthur, the Warlock, is so lucky he´s already dead.
Once alone, Kitty looks at him and replies she needs to look at the documents of his potential new students. She is talking to him(no more tears in her eyes) but is not with that warm tone.
Arthur is so lucky he is dead.

Kurt has to leave with his army too soon. Ready to former a new campaign to conquer Avalon. His advisers give him some advice, hence the name of their jobs, and Kitty did shows up to bid him farewell. Kymri and Mara are there as well.
Oddly enough, Kurt ignored the two and focused on Kitty. Promising to return soon.
“Will you miss me?” Kurt asked already on his horse, a black stallion from hell with crimson eyes.
“I …still upset, but, I´ll miss you, you evil asshole” Kitty replied and Ororo, Hank, Kymri and Mara are shocked by her words, sure Kurt will strick her right here, however, that´s not the case.
“Then I´ll end this quickly, I still have lots to make up with you” he smiles then speaks “but you do understand that I´m an evil wizard, it would be unfair of you to try to change my nature as much it would be unfair of me try to change yours” Kitty seems to understand his words and nods slowly.
With that, the man leaves with his army and Kitty sighs as Kymri and Mara are sending daggers to her back and Ororo and Hank are intrigued.
Is this the Zaorva´s Healer?
What a curious woman.

King Magneto is euphoric to see his daughter Lorna back to his home, his joy couldn´t match Wanda and Pietro´s relief as they hug their little sister and asked 21 questions.
“Are you hurt?”
“Did he try anything?”
“Why did he send you back?”
“Lorna, did he hurt you?”
Lorna raises her hands to stop her older siblings to freak out and talk faster(Pietro´s case) and explain how a nice healer of Zaorva manages to persuade Kurt to let Lorna go.
Magneto pays attention to this tale and how Kurt favours this little healer(“she is also immortal too, don´t know how, but Kurt did take a while to realize it”) manages to make a quit impression on an evil necromancer.
Not even Wanda or Talia could get this reaction from him.
“Lorna” Magneto now stop the nice moment to get Lorna´s full attention “ who is this healer? How the necromancer found her?”
“Oh, well…” Lorna stop to think for a minute “she said she saved his son, Kid Gladiator, and that´s how Kurt asked her to be in the harem…maybe” Lorna shurgs “she said is not sure why he picks her…the man is afraid of Zaorva…but is pretty chummy with Kitty”
Magneto would ponder and plot but right now his daughter is back safe and sound. He can plot another day.

Kitty wakes up with a bunch of bamfs on her bed like usual. She wonders if Kurt´s fur is as soft as theirs. She can´t be mad with Kurt forever(she can…but that´s not the point) Arthur´s episode open wounds for her.
But thinking in what if will only amount nothing. Maybe Kurt would save her, maybe he wouldn´t or maybe she would ending up killing everyone. Thinking in each scenario is only making Kitty go sick.
“Bamf” the little one speak and Kitty smiles at him.
“Hello, do you think I can love his darkness and find the light? Can I love him entirely?” Kitty asked as his words echo in her mind(change a person is impossible and Kitty sure understand this now) the little creature tittle his head and only repeat bamf “ok, I take this as a maybe, so, what we have to do today”
Kymri and Mara do everything in her power to ignore Kitty and lately, they are sending correspondence among their kingdoms.
“I know” Kitty clap her hands gather the attention of the bamfs “let´s explore his kingdom? I ´m here for almost a month and never saw outside the walls” the little cherubins seems to approve the plan and once again using the blue dress with a white apron.
(“you do know this dress is so beauty and the Beat” “Elf, I´m immortal, that does not mean I´ll understand every reference you make)
The city seems to think highly of Kurt as she saw a group of people painting a monument in his honour(out of their own free will) turns out Kurt created this kingdom to house each mutant or human that was shunned down.
"stay on Zaorva´s grace” Kitty thank a man who gave her some apples, she forgets where she is and the man look at her weirdly, maybe Zaorva is not well liked here “I mean, thank you for the apple”
The bamfs and Kitty walk around the city and is a mix of colours and for a moment it makes her think of her 13 years old´s uniform. Making Kitty laughing a little.
“His city is not all gloomy as I thought, do you guys help him?” Kitty asked to the bamfs who shake their heads.
“No, Miss Pryde, that would be us” Hank shows up along with Ororo, the Bloodstorm and judging by her fangs stained with blood, she just got feed.
“I think we never got the time to proper introduced ourselves, this is Hank MCcoy” there´s a tender tone in her voice “ and I´m Ororo Monroe and I think we need to talk”
“Am I in trouble?”
“No, far from that, Miss Pryde…no woman in the harem has ever affect Kurt in the way you did"Hank speak amazed by such featuring.
"And in the political life of a harem you need allies and we really want our jobs to be easier” Ororo stated muttering how Kurt is an evil boss “you do not want to work for an evil boss, the paperwork we have to do is awful”
“But…” whatever Kitty was about to ask they replied right way without hesitation.
“He´s our friend and we support most of his actions and really is that that bad live here with him, the problem is the paperwork and the meetings can be a pain in the ass” Ororo speak and Hank nods. Kitty can´t help by smile at this.
“Is he that terrible?”
“He escapes a meeting by using a widow…even through he could teleport” Hank replied and Kitty claps her hand trying to imagine the scene and then laughing.
“I´ve questions about him and maybe you could answer me” Kitty speaks now and they nods leading Kitty back to a more secure place to talk.
Life in the harem is changing and hopefully for the better.
