He could maybe learn to do magic! At risk of becoming addicted!

The Watcher's Council is...well...a bunch of old white dudes. Who may or may not put Slayers through this thing called the Cruciamentum on their eighteenth birthdays. That involves drugging them and locking them up with a vampire.

Felix can do the math and Emily family was killed right around... ugh. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Is there any indication of how addictive it is? How fast can he learn? Are there people that would be able to sell the service?

Witches exist! How addictive it is varies wildly by person.

Felix debates the pros and cons of involving someone else in this and decides to give a try at learning magic himself to see if it's worth it. Might help if a witch tries to backstab him.

He set about reading, he reads and reads. He researches.

And he spending all this time alone and sometimes he can't help but waste an hour crying. He sometimes goes somewhere quiet to people watch. He manages to go an entire day without uttering a word to another human being and starts talking to himself.

If he's monitoring the coffins, it's a week from when he showed up when Emily's eyes blink open.

Felix set up cameras with a live feed by that point. He runs there the moment she notices Emily waking up.

She pushes the glass lid of the coffin out of the way and sits up, sighing and looking more than a little depressed.

Then the lid of the stone coffin starts moving.

There are cameras set around coffins, alongside a cooler with food and note on top of that.

And the stone coffin finishes opening, and another girl pushes herself up, groggily.

Emily takes one look at her and shrieks.

"Emily? What?"

In lieu of answering Emily vaults out of her coffin and into the stone one, clinging to her sister tightly and sobbing like she's trying to regurgitate her lungs.

Edie is alarmed, and confused, and hugging her sister and stroking her hair because whatever's going on Emily being in this much distress is obviously the most urgent problem.

Eventually, it shouldn't be hard to notice, in comes a red-orange feathered winged boy landing nearby. He blinks at the scene.

"Uh, who are you?"

Emily looks up when Edie speaks.

"Ah... I'm Felix Dalkaila, I landed in this universe about a week ago... uh, a magical artifact dragged me here and landed on her while she was asleep. Thus it granted her the ability to dreamshape, the power to create a pocket dimension, which is the place we are in now. And... dreamshapers can't wake up the first time around unless their projection walks out of the dimension through a portal. So I tried to rescue her and... couldn't because she was stuck in the coffin which is magical."

"Huh, okay." Still hugging.

"I can... give you two privacy if you want. There is more information on the note." He points.

"I'm--still confused, the last thing I remember is--"

"You died. You died and Mom and Dad died and--and I was never going to see you again--you died--"

"Oh, Emily."

"It was a year and a half ago. You two probably should sit down, you can do that and hug. " Felix reports. "Uh, the artifact told me some things and then I investigated..."

Edie climbs out of the coffin and half-carries her sister with her.

"Some things?"

"It indirectly informed me that demons exist and that Emily was the Vampire Slayer. I then found out about the Watcher's Council and the Cruciamentu... I was trying to figure ou the possibility of using magic to free Emily."
