Before they began, Robin cautioned Severa.
"They key to a good ambush is silence and patience. If Tharja suspects anything you could both be in terrible danger."
"I know already!"
"All you need to do is wait silently and pateintly, then you can, then when she comes out, pounce on her and grab her tome before she can do anything. With it she'll be helpless."
"Tssk.. I'm not going to mess this up!"
"We know honey, Robin is just concerned for our safety."
Robin nodded.
"Yes, I would never let anyone I know go into battle without a plan, espeically not my family. We believe in you Severa.
"Than- I mean of course you do!"
"Beat her down for me!" Morgan cheered, excited as ever despite her predicament.
Severa and Cordelia got into position, standing near the tent but out of Tharja's sight. They stood poised, like hunters waiting for their kill. Time tick passed and the waiting took it's toll on Severa, though Cordelia remained as cool as ever. She felt liked grumbling to herself, but she knew Robin and Morgan were counting on her and she wasn't going to fail this time!
Oblivious to any strange goings on, Tharja came out of the tent. Cordelia gestured with her hand, a signal they had prepared earlier and then sped at Tharja, tackling her front different directions. Before Tharja could react, she was pinned to the ground. She instinctively reached for her spellbook.
"Not this time, bitch!" Severa yellled, slapping her hand, then grabbing the spellbook and tossing it aside.
Tharja scowled but Cordelia smiled.
"Well then Seveera." She then turned back to Tharja, and while still sitting on her, Cordelia drew an iron lance she kept on her back and pointed it at Tharja.
"You've hurt my family for the last time! Tell me how to restore my husband and daughter or I'll end you!"
To their surprise, Tharja laughed, either assuming this was a bluff or having no fear of death.
"Restore? Do you think I would go to the trouble of designing a hex to make Robin eternally and rightfully mine, then let someone undo all my work? There is no cure!"
Severa punched her.
"You're lying! Tell us now you crazy witch!"
Cordelia looked into Tharja's eyes, the witch still having that crazed, confident look in her eyes. Cordelia gasped.
"I think she's telling the truth!"
"No she can't! She CAN'T!
Tharja merely laughed in response
