It's an Evony/Vex fiction (though I seem to be their only shipper).

Apologize in advance; as I am ESL, I tend to use simple vocabularies and sentences.

Not planning to write a very long one, perhaps 4~5 chapters.

Not expecting many reviews either. No hate comments though. Enjoy.

The New Morrigan

"I haven't seen Lauren since that night. Do you think she is okay?" Bo asked. She had learnt to care more about people around her. She was still hurt about Kenzi's incident, but she was more determined to find Kenzi from the other side than to accept her death.

"You can go check up on her. The Dark is throwing a ball tonight to celebrate the appointment of their new acting Morrigan," Trick announced as he waved the invitation to Bo and Dyson.

"What? It's a week since Lauren took the Morrigan's power away. The Dark already knew about it and appointed a new leader?" Bo unapproved.

"What can I say? The dark is fast. Besides, Evony appointed the new Morrigan herself. She told the world that she was just going on a 'break'. She has to leave the spotlight before she is discovered as a human and got chased down by her enemies," Trick said, "As acting Ash, I am invited. You too, Bo."

The trio entered the dark fae party, a fancy party with good food, awesome DJ and fancy dresses. The first person that caught their attention was Vex.

"Why are you here, Vex? I thought the Morrigan was trying to kill you," Dyson grabbed Vex to the side and asked, "Please don't tell me she has appointed you to be the new dark leader."

"Of course not. Love-hate, we are old friends. She will forgive me for everything, but she would never let me be the Morrigan myself. I raised her son and she still owes me for that. Besides, I can't miss a par-ty!" Vex replied, "I can't miss the part where they challenge the new acting Morrigan."

"Challenge?" Bo asked.

"Yes, the dark is not exactly like the light. The Light has the Stag Hunt and the Dark has the Thunder Stage. Every Morrigan was appointed, acting or not. After that, he or she would be put on stage to accept challenge from any dark fae. The event continues until no one challenges anymore or the new Morrigan is defeated. If the new Morrigan is defeated, the winner will be the next successor," Trick explained, "So, any news about the new Morrigan?"

"Not much, we know it's a she, but I haven't seen her in the party yet. She used to be a photographer for the Morrigan's agency, not anymore," Vex gossiped, " I did get a name, Nona Ma-something. Rumor has it she is the Morrigan's sister. So, lots of fresh melting expected tonight."

"Bo, you are here!" Lauren saw Bo, ran towards her and gave her one big hug.

Soon, they were interrupted.

"As all of you have heard, I am taking a break from all the busy fae work. That is why we are having the party tonight. Please welcome our new acting Morrigan," Evony grabbed the microphone and announced. Everyone looked at the same direction. Stood in front of them, a beautiful brunette, around early twenty, looked like Evony, "Nona Melisenda Marquise." They were related, no doubt.

Nona stood on the stage, waiting to be challenged. She smiled with glowing confidence. Sharing the same last name with the former Morrigan had scared 99% of the potential challengers away. Getting melted by a Leanan sídhe was certainly not fun. Well, it could just be a scare tactic. Some thought.

A few minutes had passed and finally, a muscular man stood up on stage, "Finally, something interesting. There are no rules. Death and casualty might be unpreventable. The winner is the last one standing on the stage. So, have fun," Evony took a seat in the back to watch the fight.

The muscle man posed in attack mode. He was about the same size as Bruce, or maybe bigger. He ran toward Nona and she didn't finch. She raised her right hand.

As everyone expected to see the muscle man to melt, he did not. He stopped, held his arms out, and started choking himself with both hands.

"Vex, don't interrupt," Trick gave Vex an unapproved look, as did some other observers of the challenge.

"I didn't do anything. I swear," Vex gave a surrender pose to prove his innocence.

The muscle man fainted, tripped over his own feet and fell off the stage.

"Any more challenger?" Evony asked. The crowd went quiet. "Looks like we have a winner." The crowd cheered.

"She is a Mesmer?" Vex questioned.

"You wanted to see me?" Lauren walked into the Morrigan's office.

"Dr. Lewis, I know we have only met briefly at the party," Nona looked at the doctor, "but I have heard a lot about you. You are the one who turned Evony human. Now, I demand you to reverse the process."

"You can't make me," Lauren refused.

"Technically, I own you," Nona stood up from her chair, walked over to Lauren and lifted her cheek with her finger, "Evony has claimed you before you turned her human. As the acting Morrigan, I have inherited everything Evony owns professionally. You have been passed on to me and you will do whatever I want you to do."

Lauren shot Nona a deadly stare, "She was my first test subject. I am not sure what side effect will happen if I change her back."

"Doctor. I know you probably don't trust me, but you have my trust," Nona placed her hand on her heart, "You are talented. You have the ability. I know you can do it. Please change Evony back to the way she was. Being the Morrigan is the last thing I ever want to do. Nonetheless, this human version of her is just... sad."
