Elizabeth I saw Queen Jonah appearing from the forest where she walked through. She was wearing a black cloak like me, a purple combat dress, and a wand in her hand that I newly recognized. When she was now in front of me, she cleared my confusion. “My wand has been my apprentice,” she said. “This is my medium to respectively release my power. I can release my power using my hands like you, but the wand is also convenient.” I nodded. “So can I also use a wand-like you so I can control my powers?” “It depends on where you are comfortable, but I suggest you practice using your powers through your hands. There will be instances that your powers will depend on the presence of your wand,” she said. I did not answer, but I looked around. The next day, we had a negotiation to meet up in the middle of the forest near the kingdom so that we can start the training. “You might be wondering why we are not under the trees so that we can hide," she said, about the bald sky above us. Surroundin
Elizabeth “We’ll talk while we are training,” she said and launched a sidekick that almost hit my face if I just did not slap her leg. “What’s your first question?” “Are you saying that we are not from this time frame?” I asked while lurching forward to elbow her twice which she dodged and reciprocated me with a narrow punch which I also dodged but managed to hit my cheek. “Yes,” she answered truthfully and flew in the air so she can attack me with a flying kick. “And to protect you, I have to give you to Zandra, who you have known as your mother. She is also a witch like us, but more ordinary. She is my closest friend and it turned out that she followed me to the portal, and revealed herself when I was dressing up for my wedding day.” She caught my cloak and pulled it up to catapult me to the ground. Because I did not want to be knocked down, I immediately took off the cloak and stole it away from her hand by hardening the muscles of my palm and sliced her hand from her grip of th
Elizabeth “Fight, Elizabeth!” she encouraged me. "There will be no use if you keep being a slave to your emotions. You can never defeat your opponents and enemies when you are weak and fragile! You have to be bold and dominant! Prove yourself by fighting!" While feeling the anxiety and fear that she has the will to kill me, I watched her flying in the air after her long affirmations for me. I panicked, being intimidated by the fact the she is a witch queen and I am not even a prodigy in controlling my powers! And again, she aggressively pointed her long wand in my direction, and another sharp branch was launching towards me. Oh, I pray that I will not die! Using my mind and calming the shit in me, I utilized the power of my telekinesis even though she was still pushing the branch. While restraining it, I tried my best to stand up and slowly cupped the sheath of my dagger that was on my dress. When I successfully held its hold, I exclaimed and cut the branch twice. Before she cou
Elizabeth My eyes glowed and a white aura engulfed my body when I practiced telekinesis on the rocks that I hit against the barks of the trees around the forest. After that, I bestowed the fire element from my palms to burn the flying barks that I hit, burning them into ashes. When they were slowly flying in the air, I prepared my footwork until I sprinted towards a tree and ran my foot there, making a tumbling stance, and landed on the ground. It is still not enough. I have to have an opponent. I summoned the book of spells and looked for a spell where I can make a minion to fight me. After I saw the incantation, I activated the powers inside me and spoke the spell. The moon was bright as I spent another night training and practicing me. Tomorrow, the day, Queen Jonah will train with me. She is still busy attending agendas with her king's son because there is another ball coming. It turned out that it will be his wife’s birthday party. “When he saw that you were gone in the grand
Elizabeth I inhaled sharply, but I made sure that it will not be heard. “Can I at least hear your voice again? And tell me that even if you left me, you love me?” Tears stung my eyes because his words are piercing through my heart. It will take a little plea before I give up and run to his arms again, giving into him. But it will not be right. I come to him again, all the hard work and the plans the queen and I made will be all useless. If Diego knows that the witches will rise again, he will have no choice but to kill me. Witches and werewolves are enemies, the queen said before. One kind must die for one to live. That is why it will be a challenge to obliterate my love for him because he had already marked me. “I guess that is a no,” he said in a small voice. “But I want you to know, my love, that I can’t live without you. That I am only waiting in our hut for you to come home…” Silence prevailed while I let my tears fall from my eyes and stopped myself from sniffing. After a
Elizabeth There were no tears in her eyes while speaking, but the pain was sounding in volume in her voice. It might be so hard sharing that with me with her eyes strongly staring at mine, so I would know about what happened in the past. “I became angry, but I could not do anything as I caught the head of my love, bleeding in his nose,” she said and bitterly smiled at me. “And when my mother tried to get me so that she can remove you from my womb together with the witches that restrained me from escaping the habitat and almost tied me up, I used the dangerous intensity of my power that almost bald the habitat. I was guilty about what I did, but it was the only thing I thought to protect you…” “The witches… tried to kill you?” She nodded. “They believed that you are a curse to our kind because you have the blood of a werewolf.” “That does not make any sense.” “Both kinds have a long history of being a nemesis to each other.” “Then when you tried to unite them, it was only a failu
Elizabeth I looked at the book of spells again, watching the witch with the four emblems of the elements. Well, the queen has a point. I still could not activate the water and wind elements. So how do I do it? “You’re the only one who can know the answer.” I jumped out of surprise when someone spoke behind me and my heart leaped because of that. My eyes squinted and my grin escaped from my lips when I saw the red woman in front of me. She also smiled a little, as if my astonishment that she is here is contagious. “Red woman!” I exclaimed in exuberance. “I can’t believe you are here!” The last time we met is when we had a slight argument due to the attack on the flyers. Now that I can see her now is that guilt crawled into my mind, so I sighed and lowered the book of spells, shifting my weight to face her completely. “I just want to apologize for the things I have said and the blunt attitude I displayed the last time," I said in conscience, guilty for bringing it up but I have to
Elizabeth Now that I am lying on the bed and staring silently at the ceiling while the darkness inside my room is prevailing, too many thoughts in my mind are entertaining me due to the knowledge and truths I have learned. Too many things happened, and I have no choice but to grasp them all. I am going to be a witch queen someday. Queen Jonah did not mention that she will take the powers she gave to me when I was still an infant. She just… simply trained me to be the next witch queen. Whenever I open up that we will change the world together, she would only say that I can do it alone. The longer I talk to her, the more I can recognize that she is fond of utilizing meaningful statements that needed to be discerned properly, or I will never get her. I wonder why she can’t after I retrieve our kind. She did not tell me that. I then realized that I still don’t know anything about her. She does not share unless it is about my duties in the future as a witch queen. I sat up on the bed an
