OK OK so here's the next chapter, I know it isn't as good as what i've written before but please bear with me, I'm trying to make a really good one for Afraid to Love....
Chapter Nine
Godric handed the tiara back to Rowena. He was becoming freaked out by what it could do. The instant he took it off, he fely empty-headed and stupid. "Whoa...what?" he said groggily.
Rowena took it and held it in her lap, frowning, feeling the mysterious magic coursing through her arms and up into her heart. She put it on again and closed her eyes, breathing deeply. She sat like that for a full ten minutes, everyone watching her in silence.
Salazar began to worry. "Ro...is everything okay?" he asked nervously. "Rowena!" He touched her shoulder lightly, then drew back, shocked. He could feel the power of the diadem flowing through his friend's body as her touched her. Panicking, Salazar reached up and took it off her head, and dropped it on the floor of the tent.
As Helga watched, Rowena opened her eyes as if from a long sleep. She put her hand to where Salazar had touched her as if she could still feel his hand there on her shoulder. Helga flew at her friend, overjoyed, and threw her arms around a very surprised Rowena.
"Helga? I'm all right!" laughed Rowena. She gently pushed her away and then looked at the tiara, still lying where Salazar had flung it. "My goodness, what just happened?"
Godric sat up as he was feeling back to normal. "You were just sitting there holding that thing, and we were getting a bit uneasy. That's all, Ro." He examined the tiara as closely as he could without touching it. By putting his had to the floor right next to it, he could feel a faint vibration. "It's humming!" he said in astonishment.
Helga put her own hand next to his. "Why, you're right, Ric," she said in surprise. "Goodness, where did a filthy old squid like that find such a thing?"
"Isn't it obvious? It was going to a wedding and wanted to look shiny." laughed Salazar. Everyone groaned at his sad attempt at a joke. He rolled his eyes. "Well who has a better idea?"
No one bothered answering.
Rowena scooted forward until the tiara was right in front of her. She took out her wand and touched its tip to the diadem. She murmured something under her breath and in seconds, a message had been carved onto the back of the tiara.
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
"It stopped vibrating," said Godric in some surprise.
"Yeah. Isn't that odd?" said Helga in wonderment. Then she gasped with pleasure as Rowena put it on again. "Oh, Ro! you look simply radiant!" she breathed.
And so she did. The tiara, nestled in Rowena's glossy curls, shone silver. The pearls and sapphires glittered in the light, and Rowena's clear blue eyes seemed to sparkle. "I don't feel that strange magic anymore!" she said happily. Her spell had canceled out the other one permanently.
