Maddie insisted that the following days become ordinary days to regain the balance she so needed in her life.She went to school and participated in the exercise sessions of the band ‘Dead Meadow’.Wolf and River continued to live in the sheltered houses of Moon and Gallan.Maddie had suggested that River come to her school, to develop a normal life as well. His long stay in the camp of the Zaeafranen had not really helped his development as an ordinary man. Wolf thought it was a good plan, even River wanted to try it, only Raven was worried. Of course, they were easier prey for the Zaeafranen. Maddie laughed away all worries. With a spell, she was able to change everyone's energy so that they didn't appear on the Zaeafrans radar, not as the great mages they were.‘I didn't know you could do that too?’ said Raven, surprised.‘Too?’ She said, looking at him in amusement.He grinned because it betrayed his o

As he lay looking at her, she woke up. She smiled contentedly as she woke up in his arms, the place where she belonged.‘I have to tell you something,’ he began, but she put her finger to his lips.‘You don't have to tell me,’ she said, turning to him, ‘I already got a lot of your story when I healed you. Raven, please sit down. ‘He did as she said.She put his palms against hers. ‘Open yourself,’ she said, ‘and I will too. Just focus on your hands, the feelings you get.’They both closed their eyes, their hands warmed.The life energy, the reiki, began to flow in an exchange.The magic helped to separate the veils from the conscious and the unconscious. And they shared the memories of the past five months they'd spent without each other.Maddie saw the hidden castle, of Raven's forefathers, felt the pain, the sorrow he had borne, because of the decision he had made t

Every morning Dean picked her up, in the company of Leo and Buddy. Then only their hands touched. Sometimes they exchanged tender looks. During the break, Dean stole a quick kiss now and then, by pulling her to a corner in the school building, behind a wall, or under the stairs. Three times a week, they rehearsed with the band in the activity center after school. Although Maddie had been shy behind the microphone at first, she soon became bolder. She enjoyed the lyrics, which she could feel deep in her soul, words that made that possible. Of course, there were also songs that she didn't like as much, but if they belonged to the repertoire, she didn't really make a point of it. Moon had also discovered that there was a young man in her granddaughter's life. She had already said a few times that she could take him home, but Maddie still hadn't. ‘Maddie,’ Dean sighed. He kissed her long and tenderly behind the stage, in the activity center. His h

The Christmas holidays were almost over. Maddie made more and more plans to live with Raven. As a result, more and more concerns appeared in his bright blue eyes.He had told her to stay with Moon, for her school, her education in the magic square. But she only saw the benefits of the castle. No magic, peace, security, no-hassle, normal life for her. And most importantly, be with him.Wolf had spoken to him about it a number of times. He had said that they had no solution for the Zaeafranen problem for the time being. This made Raven even more concerned.What if they bothered Maddie again? She was bombarded again, forcing her to reclaim her deeper magic? How could she ever experience what it was like to live without that burden?It kept haunting Raven's mind. It was best if she stayed in Stationsstreet, continued her life, perhaps without him.Raven had cast an additional protection spell over the new house, the same kind that Maddie had made for M

In a flash, she found herself in the inhospitable region of the Scottish Highlands. And she could see Loch Rannoch. It was snowing softly. She felt the icy cold blow across the plain. There was no sign of Raven to be seen or felt, yet he must be near. Wolf had not sent her that way for nothing.Maddie lit a campfire. She shivered despite wearing a long wool coat, which was very protective. She feared that Raven's love for her had died down. It chilled her, thinking about it.She reached out to the fire and waited.Almost an hour passed. She still hadn't seen him, she didn't feel him either. Still, he had to be around, because the spell had brought her there. She stared at Loch Rannoch, the water rippling with the cold wind.Suddenly warm energy appeared behind her.‘Raven?’ she spun around.Then he appeared.She saw his familiar face. He looked concerned, shoulders slightly stooped with grief. As different, as she remember

Raven sat lost in thought by the large fireplace in the library, the only place that had coziness and atmosphere. He had removed all his things from the Stationsstreet. He had heard how glad everyone was that Maddie had returned healthy when he had reached the top of the stairs.But he too had heard the doubts and fears that had gone over the table about him and his vague magic. He knew he had done the best he could do. Getting away from the people he loved most, leaving them alone so that there was no disagreement between them. Maddie would get enough support from the people around her, who were also dear to him.It was better for her to live without that pressure that gave his magic in a community.Raven tried to ignore the deep feeling of pain that told him how much he longed for Maddie, how much he was connected to her.It would surely improve in the long run. All he had to do was wait. Sing it out as long.Raven stared into the fire.He

On the day of the blood moon ceremony, Maddie and Raven arrived exactly on time on the beach of Tammer. No one knew where they had been or what they had been doing all those days.Three minutes before the shadow of the earth slowly passed in front of the moon, they appeared hand in hand.They suddenly stood there, appearing in front of thousands on the big stones. High above the members of the covens, who had come from far and wide to witness it all. They held hands tightly. Only eyes fixed on each other as if nobody else mattered. The height of the eclipse lasted almost an hour and none of the covens had access to any magic.Yet that was not the case for Raaf and Maddie. They radiated the green and red magic that illuminated them during the moon's eclipse. The dark red glow of the darkened moon had an effect on Maddie. When the magic was slowly released again, she raised the staff made of the oak tree in greeting to the moon. Then Maddie held one end and Raven

Green tree magic still lingered when Raven disappeared and Maddie felt how she absorbed everything in her body.She closed her eyes so she not lost the control that time.It bubbled in her like a shaken bottle of bubbles that was about to explode. She was sure she could control it if she didn't lose focus.Maddie ran to the library, to Esmee and Rodolf. She told them what had happened in short terms. She paced back and forth.‘When Silke talked about the red blood moon, I got the feeling that there is a solution in me somewhere related to it, but I don’t know what it is!’‘Moon, moon,’ murmured Rodolf as he contributed.Esmee sighed and raised her arms to heaven in a hopeless gesture.'What? Be clear in your thoughts!’Rodolf grinned. 'Okay. Queen Frava is the primeval mother, she descends from the moon goddess and the God of the Forest. She stands for fertility, love, and lust, but was

When Raven returned to the Stationsstraat, with Maddie by his side, everyone was happy that they appeared safe and sound.Moon tried to talk to Raven about what had happened, but his gaze blocked all communication.Maddie, on the other hand, hugged her grandmother and forgave her for what had happened. There was no point in putting energy into something that had happened and had a good intention, according to Maddie.Fortunately, the first weeks were characterized by the start of school and thus, messy weeks.Picking up books, buying school supply’s at the last minute, meet the teachers and classmates and learn the class schedules.The blood moon ceremony still fell in a fairly quiet period. Maddie was happy, because she found it difficult, with so much energy and knowledge, to walk around the school of her ordinary life. With the tree magic, insight her, she felt, compared to her classmates, like an old fossil.She and Raven were toge

The next morning Moon was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.She had set the old table and put a pot of fresh tea on it.Esmee and Rodolf were first who sat down and joined her.Rodolph saw the angry look in Esmee her eyes, that he had also noticed a few times the previous evening. He was not aware of any harm but knew that Esmee had her own view of events and suspected that he, therefore, did not understand what was going on.‘What is it?’ He asked, when she looked at him for the umpteenth time, reproachfully.‘You know what,’ she said angrily.Rodolf had dealt with her anger before and understood that he couldn't guess exactly what was going on.‘Tell me what I have done,’ he said patiently, his eyes looking straight at her.She peeled her egg with short, violent movements.‘Glad I'm not that egg,’ murmured Rodolf.And then she laughed and it sounded liberating.

In the days that followed, it was quiet in Omem's big house. Everyone had his or her tasks to perform. The last weeks of the summer holidays were coming to an end, it was almost September.Raven avoided Maddie and when they saw each other, there was a kind of distance between them.Maddie sighed deeply as she sat in the kitchen and realized that Raven was still on a mission. Omem looked at her and asked her what was wrong.‘I am in love with Raven,’ she confessed and it felt good to say that, but it also hurt. ‘We kissed omem, but after that he just ignored me. What should I do? Soon I will also lose his friendship.‘For a moment she saw the great surprise in her grandmother's eyes.‘Yes, because the power of your spell is gone,’ said Maddie, but she had no intention of elaborating on it. The most important thing for her was that she was afraid of losing Raven.‘Maybe you should talk to him about it,

Maddie woke up. She felt strange. She remembered seeing Raven. What happened next was vague, it was locked up in a kind of mist. As if she had been ill, with a high fever and she was delirious.It was a kind of blanket that covered all memory.But she felt oké. She could smell it had rained outside and went to the open doors. Wonderful that freshness in the air, which had precipitated and washed away all the dust. As if everything was new again.She smiled.If only that disturbing fog in her head would was down and cleare.She went to the bathroom to take a long shower. After half an hour, she was on her way down. She paused at the library. She doubted, it felt as if she had forgotten something and she searched in her head for the answer, for the memory.'Good morning!'She was suddenly face to face with Raven.His bright blue eyes met hers.He too had a thoughtful look in his eyes and studied her.‘A
