Moments later, a Security van arrived unexpectedly. They offloaded something that looked like a vault.“They are bringing the chalice in for the inauguration,” they heard one of the security guards warning the others on a radio.“So even the fake one was kept in a vault all along,” Olivia sighed.The inauguration began at the planned time. People were ushered to a bigger hall for the ceremony. The professor who was the special guest, walked over to the podium to say a few words and then the pastor pulled the red cloth. Everyone was mesmerized by the breath-taking beauty of the chalice that glowed under the yellow light of the chandelier.*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Harold Hearst sat in what looked like a den adorned with many kinds of crystals, an assortment of precious stones, mirrors and vials containing colourful potions. He loved spending time in this hideout as it reminded him of a peaceful life that he once lived. He was the oldest elf sorcerer alive and also the Warlock Alpha.He took out
At the end of the Sunday service, the Pastor announced that the inauguration had been postponed for an hour because of security concerns and in the meantime a community bake sale was to be held in the courtyard. Most of the people were annoyed but they went out to the courtyard anyway.“Never will you find anything special in a bake sale. If you have been to one, you have been to all,” Roxy sighed.“So what exactly happened back there?” Olivia narrowed her eyes.“Nine o’ clock!” Roxy said in an urgent tone.Everyone quickly turned to look in the direction.“Seriously? How could you just look around like that; stare at them?” Roxy complained.“Look at who?” Skin asked while Kai kept staring at the blank air without saying anything.“That was our guy.” Olivia had seen him before he disappeared behind a pillar.They rushed to look for him but he seemed to have vanished in thin air. Olivia ran to the gate and saw him turn a corner and shortly after another guy, attired in a serviceman’s u
Her body ached but she reminded herself to maintain eye contact. As she charged at him, he moved out of way, effectively dodging her attack. She snarled with anger, quickly turned around and charged once again.She stopped in her tracks for a while as thoughts began to flow from the older werepanther once again. Her wanted to assure her he meant no harm. She noted his body language and was able to understand that he was just here to convey a message. Nevertheless, she prepared for an attack and in the process managed to further outrage the older werepanther. The two of them brawled violently, rolling on the ground as she fervently tried to claw his face and neck. She had no success whatsoever. She was no match for the older werewolf’s strength who was now just defending himself, without attacking her.The struggle between the two gave Skin enough time to get back on his feet. He was now ready for a fresh attack. He placed himself in front of the already enraged werepanther who had now
“Do you see the connection?” Skin asked as soon as they stepped away from Professor Peterson.“Sure do,” Olivia replied quietly.“Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out something so simple,” Roxy said with a mild hint of sarcasm.“Please!!!” Olivia warned in an annoyed tone. “And Roxy, can you please try to act a bit natural when in public?”“This is natural!” Roxy stared at Olivia, her eyes wide open. “Well… unless you want me not to act natural.”“Coming back to the point, I think you should talk to Captain Moss right now,” Skin suggested.“It can wait. You can see we have an urgent job on hand,” Olivia said thoughtfully.“Captain Moss needs to hear about this because…” Kai began to say.“Later! For now, we have to make sure that the chalice stays safe. Remember, Captain Moss said we must not take any action until we find a way to undo the spell. For now, we will just see that the chalice doesn’t fall into wrong hands. And we have to do that without raising any suspicions
Lilith snorted with anger. She wouldn’t rest until she got even with that evil witch finder. She had come a long way. She was only seventeen when her innocent mother was burned alive. The witch hunter had arrived in the town to hunt the witches down. Most of them were innocent victims and of course the wicked ones had gotten away.Lilith’s mother was a white witch. She was a healer and now she feared for the life of her young daughter. In a desperate attempt to save her daughter’s life she decided to bind her soul to something the witch finder could not find access to. She sought help from the Parabola. Her only hope was the soul of a girl called Olivia, her sister’s great great-grandchild. She was to be born five generations apart. She made her choice and cast a spell. Lilith’s body was transported to the Parabola and her soul was bound to the soul of an unborn child. Lilith would stay lifeless but undead until that child was born five generations later and her magical powers were in
William Morris sat in a busy café, alone. He was expecting his partner Allan any minute. Allan was running late as usual and William wished that this time it would be because he had a lead on the case. However, as soon as Allan entered the café, looking somewhat dishevelled and walking with a slight limp, William lost all his hope. Allan walked over to him and took a seat opposite to him.“You look like you have been outsmarted once again,” William said with disappointment.“I could use some food, I am starving,” Allan grunted easing himself in the chair.After a short while, a waitress approached and the two men ordered some food.“So?” William asked.“Well, they left no clue. I got the wrong person. They had charmed her into playing a decoy and I fell for it. The next thing I know is they had disappeared into thin air.” Allan explained.“Damn, we really need to do something about this. The bosses are not going to like this,” William said with obvious irritation.“I know Bill,” Allan
When Olivia, Meredith and Jill got home, William and Amber were waiting for them.“Will it help you if someone did a locator spell for the creature?” Amber asked.“Mine turn up no results but we could try,” William nodded.Amber grabbed a small post-it from a desk nearby and wrote an address.“Can you handle this on your own?” William asked, handing the address to the girls.“Sure,” Meredith said, taking the post-it.Next morning, the three of them set off to see Maddie, an elderly witch who lived in an isolated house near the woods.“She is good at spells but obviously no one takes her seriously,” Amber had told them.As soon as they walked onto her porch a line of fire appeared from nowhere, blocking their way. Shortly after that, an elderly woman appeared on the porch.“Leave my property you, monsters! I know what you are,” she said.“I read your vibes and I will not let the likes of you harm people in this town as long as I am alive. You must know that my power is threefold,” she
When Meredith woke up, she was breathing heavily and her mind was full of fog. Jill and Olivia were leaning forward, looking at her closely.“Are you OK?” Jill asked with concern.“We are glad you decided to come,” Olivia smiled.“I was dragged here. I was trying to stop you,” Meredith gritted her teeth. “And where are we?”“Let’s go and find out!” Olivia suggested.“You don’t know? Brilliant!” Meredith said, getting up slowly.The three of them walked a mile before they found the main road and after reading the road signs they discovered that they were in Connecticut.“Any idea why we landed here?” Meredith asked.“Nope,” replied Olivia.“Is this place close to your home?” Jill asked.“No it isn’t, I want to say there was a glitch but…” Olivia said.“Is that even possible?” Jill asked with disbelief.“I don’t think so. The two of you must have messed up the spell,” Meredith said.“I say, keep walking, let’s enjoy our time while we are here,” Jill said cheerfully.Olivia smiled and th
