The journey to discovering the truth behind the Homo Magi and the curse laid upon their people, in hopes of breaking the spell that has caused the sorceress Amara to obsess over David Charming for years, has been a long and winding road.  It last led them underwater, to the lost city of Atlantis, once the home of the Homo Magi, where they discovered that the cursed had been laid upon them by Poseidon himself, when one of their kind shared the sacred secrets of Mystra with a mortal who they fell in love with.  This led to a falling out between Mystra and Poseidon, and he cursed the Magi to keep them from ever contacting humanity again.  This curse was said to be unbreakable, until the sea god was appeased, but Lila's protests led to a punishment which Emma Swan took in her place - rendering her a kelpie by night until she earned the respect of Mystra.  This curse would later lead her to kill Killian in the madness of the castle attack.  Zatanna claimed to know someone who could undermine a god's curse, and to that end searched high and low for the mysterious John Constantine, who she has brought to the castle.  

At last, he has gathered them here for a seance of sorts, and they find the room cloaked in candles and drapery, various strange figurines and tiny fetishes scattered about.

Do not patronize me.

[bittersweeter]

I'm not fucking patronizing you. [ fuck it, lila is already fumbling for her cigarettes, who is going to stop her. ] I never wanted you to feel any of this.

[besmitten]

I am not looking for comfort, or sympathy. I would be alone.

Go.

[bittersweeter]

I'm not a pet you can command away. [ however willing she is to just leave amara, because the aftermath of this curse is the last thing she wants to deal with, lila isn't going to let amara order her around.

last time she got flung against the ceiling but w/e, she doesn't give a shit. ]

[besmitten]

And I do not require coddling. I am Homo Magi, daughter of the true magic bloodline. I am no delicate mortal. The woman you have known was weakened by these imaginary emotions conjured by this curse.

I am not that woman.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah and you're very fucking welcome for spending the last four years of my life trying to uncurse your true magic bloodline.

Your gratitude is noted. [ lila's probably supposed to look after amara but. nah. amara can be alone, she tried. "tried." ]

[besmitten]

[ she doesn't follow her, doesn't call out, just continues to pace away ]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila has always suspected that amara wouldn't deal well with the aftermath -- it's not like lila and david didn't still bear the emotional scars of their own manipulation -- especially in regards to lila. she'd manipulated her into pretending there was no curse in order to make amara help herself.

lila doesn't stomp back inside, instead staying outside so she can smoke but she doesn't expect amara to come back. ]
