Waking up to another blissful morning something I dread doing. I do love waking up, but I hate that I have to learn new tactics on how to not so obviously avoid Christian, and is now very obvious to everyone around us that I am indeed hiding from Christian. Arkalis has unknowingly been helping me keep busy though. The people from the villages have been coming for Arkalis help, and I have been the one tending to their complains. Most times, their complains are stuffs they could handle by themselves, to these people I just end up warning them not to waste the wizard time.In my view i can finally call myself a full witch, but in Arkalis view, he believes that I still have a lot to learn. I can't understand why he thinks that when, he has already stop with all my magic classes. He is now teaching me how to fight, Christian inclusive.Arkalis felt that I might need to know how to fight in case my powers fails me, and he also believes that I might one day need the help of Christian skillf
"Well, I'm definitely going to miss seeing your face around here." The General says. Christian and I, are done with our training and I am ready to fall back on my bed.**************A MONTH BACK**************"You had better have a punch that would impress me witch or you are out of my camp. And also, try not to burn my dummy this time around." The general gave me a stare that says *I am dead serious* He stood besides me and watched me closely. So close... that I could feel his breathe on my arms. I breathe out, took my stance.... I imagined the face of *Terror* packed up a punch and then strike. I stood triumphantly when I saw the dummy's head rolling on the floor."You.... did that... without your power right?" The General stutters staring at the headless dummy in awe."If I had used my air power to knock it off forcefully, then the head of the dummy would be way over there." I pointed far off."And don't you think you would have noticed. Plus I don't like cheating." I added my fac
I know I just wanted to come learn magic, but I have come to love the past. For some reason I'm not ready to head back to the present. Maybe is because I have a family right here in the past, I have Freya and Aria, and also Arkalis who Is the father of my lineage. I have just never experienced much love in my life as I have experienced here.I don't think I can leave the past and just go into the present time, to worsen it all... They would not be able to remember me. I smiled sadly at Arkalis, looking so helpless. I have no say in the matter, this is not where I belong."Don't worry, I would try to keep your memory fresher in my head. I am glad that before I died I did not only meet my offspring from the future but was able to pass on my knowledge of magic to her." He gave me a hug, taking me by surprised. I never thought Arkalis had the spirit of hugging in him."We should go and meet the others." Arkalis walks over to the door and I stood up."Do I have to tell the others. You did
"To my long lost friend who I can't remember.... To the memories I yearn for.... To the love and friendship that is lost...What must I do to get you back....What must I do to feel your true friendship once more." Mrs Becky read from her book, *Poems recorded in historical ages* I don't know why but there was something about this poem that called onto me, it felt like the poets was actually speaking to me."This particular poem was writing by the infamous Aria Stark in the year 15BC." The teacher explains and now I get why the poem was calling onto me. Aria wrote the poem for me."According to Aria, she had this feeling deep down in her that there was a certain person out there in the word she couldn't remember, but felt she had this perfect connection with the person, a true friendship. Maybe a dear friend from her childhood... or someone she had a short encounter with. She couldn't tell. Her very good friend the queen, Freya the first shared In her sentiments. And maybe because of
"Why is she here?" Mrs Grey asked the minute she sets eyes on me, with Britney clinging so tightly to me. Britney had cried, argued, gave me uncountable reasons on why I should bring her along, 90 percent of the reasons didn't make any sense."Because she's my best friend." I replied calmly. "Yes. What she says." Britney giggles, placing her head on my shoulder."I can see she's your best friend, but she is not supposed to be here." Mrs Grey argues frowning. "If I'm going to be wrapped up in the world of magic, I think I will need a reminder of what is like, just living a normal life. Plus, Britney is my emotional support." I concluded. "What she said again." Britney giggles some more. She's really not helping her case right now. "Awwn, I'm your emotional support. That is so sweet." She whispered in my ear, I chuckled.Mrs Grey sighed, "Well, whatever. Just come in, but I do not know if the others would be in support of this." She eyes Britney from head to toe, then sighed again..
"There you are. Do not tell me you are leaving so soon. You just got here." A man I have never seen in my entire life time walked in through the doors of the house."I thought we locked the doors... And who is he?" I asked confused staring at the man concentratedly."Yes we did. And this is your uncle, believe me when I say he is older than he looks." My aunt answered."He is?" The man before me looks so young, he shouldn't be more than thirty."Yes he is. This man over here is over 500hundred years." My aunt replied. I coughed uncontrollably, hitting my chest for the cough to stop.I stared at my supposedly uncle with so much concentration... how is he over 500 hundred years. How is that possible?"It is possible if he used dark magic." My aunt state eyeing him."Seriously Maria you have to stop spilling all my secrets out to her. And yes Anastasia, I am over 500hundred years and yes I did drink an immortality spell." I never knew my aunt name was actually Maria, and I never did ca
"Just taste a little portion out of it. You have to trust me on this Britney." I whined, already getting irritated by her constant refusal. I brought the slimy nonsense food from HUDRATS and I have tried everything in my power so Britney would taste the food. But to no avail, no matter what I do or say, Britney has refused blatantly. It didn't take so much time for uncle Lucas to cajole me into eating the garbage-food. Why is hers different?"You are not getting me to eat this garbage. The whole thing looks like you scooped it out of a gutter. And there is nothing you say or do would make have even a tiny bit of taste from it." She utters in refusal, her face straight-face."Here, just watch me as I eat." I pointed at her eyes with my two fingers then pointed back at myself. "Ewww no. You are really going to eat this dump." She grimaced staring at the plate of food with so much disgust."Yes I will." I answered scooping up a really big portion of the food with a spoon. She watched m
I gulped, "Why would you want to do that, when you could just easily pour yourself a glass of wine." I laughed nervously, gulping down a huge amount of my own spittle."Because it would taste better on your lips." He grinned. He stands up from where he is seated on the mat, walked around the mat to where i'm seated then knelt down with one knee in front of me.My eyes were glued to him, watching him. He caressed my cheeks with his palm softly, his breath ragged and loud, so loud it resonated around the cabin. "I love you so much. Anastasia." He whispered, closing in on my lips. My breathe hitched, I paused. "Kiss me back." He groaned biting my lower lips, bringing me out of my trance-like taste. I wrapped my arms around his back, returning his kiss with so much vigor. Our tongues lashing out.. at one another's. He pulled me closer with his hands, till there was no space in between the both of us. Not even an any could pass in between. Our bodies almost one. His hand crept underne
"I can't let you do this." Mrs Tabitha opposed strongly of my idea on how I want to fight Abaddon. "I wasn't asking for anybody's permission . This is my decision to make and my mind is made up on it." I replied deadpan not backing down from her piercing gaze."If things go south and Abaddon ends up defeating you in there, you would end up dead." Sir Adalard muttered worriedly."But if I end up winning, I would put an end to Abaddon's reign." I retorts."That is a big if right there, Ana." Uncle Mateo mumbles under his breathe. I sighed. "I really... really do need you guys to trust me on this. I know I can defeat Abaddon this way. I just know it." "I believe in her." Christian voiced out, squeezing my hand. I smiled at him thankfully."Fine. We would all trust you on this then." Sir Adalard resigns."No I don't. I am not part of the we." Mrs Tabitha voiced."I know you are worried that you would loose her, just like you lost Amelia, but you have to trust your granddaughter on thi
I was in the year 15 BC again or probably before that. How did I know? The horses, the dressing style and of course everything in particular."You are not in the past, this is more like a dream. Your dream." Arkalis voice came from behind me."How and why are you in my dream?" I raised an eyebrow staring at him attentively wondering if this is another mind game of Abaddon."Because I'm dead and there's something I want to show you. Something I never knew of while I was alive." He answered walking past me.I stood still watching him leave... "I am not Abaddon and this isn't a mind trick, so hurry up student." Arkalis yelled. Even if it's Abaddon what do I have to loose following him?I hurried off to where Arkalis was standing, then walked by his side."Is this a palace?" I asked as Arkalis came to an halt Infront of a really big gate, the guards standing watch gave it away."Nope, it's a house with palace guards in it, cause the king was really generous enough to lend some of his gu
“Lucas, how can it be Lucas? I can’t believe he killed my daughter and framed Reeve.” Mrs Tabitha utters in shock pacing my tiny room. Finding out Lucas is terror isn’t really completely shocking to me, not like I knew the man so well… I’m just glad Abaddon isn’t really someone close to me. I should have suspected him, he laughed just like terror, and also read my mind with ease. Wait, Lucas knew the witches would try to hide me in the safe house so he changed into a pink haired girl and made sure I stepped out. So he controlled those teachers to leave. Wow. He wants to end me, but before he those that I should end him. I should think of a way to use this new found information to my own benefit. I think I have the perfect plan, it should work.“I have a plan on how we could stop Abaddon, but we might need some help. How much do you trust the elders?” I asked staring at her determined. “With my life.” She replied without hesitation.“Then we need to call for a meeting.” *******
"Christian!!" I yelled out waking up from my deep slumber."Hey.. shhhh. It's okay, I got you." Christian whispered calming me down. I took notice of my surroundings... I'm in my room back in hudrats, my head is currently on Christian's thighs and we are not alone. Mrs Rowena and Mrs Tabitha are both here.I stared out the window and it's sunny outside. I must have slept for about six hours, seeing it's sunny outside."Thank goodness you are awake, I was so worried." Mrs Rowena said worriedly hastily drawing her stool closer to the bed, she takes my hands and rubs affectionately."What were you thinking going out there Anastasia! You knew very clearly that you do not have your powers and without them you can't protect yourself. If Christian hadn't come right on time, you had be dead." Mrs Tabitha lashed at me, her eyes holding anger and what seem to be worry."Tabitha! The girl just woke up." Mrs Rowena exclaimed in disbelief."The dragon... Christian.. how?" I thought it was all a d
“What??? How is that even possible. This is HUDRATS! He can’t waltz his way into here.” Rowena throws her hands up in the air in shock.“Well he is already here and most of the teachers are already trying to stop him, so we need to get going Rowena those teachers won’t be able to hold him down.” Gunther said trying to catch his breathe. “What about Adalard and the rest?” Rowena asked walking towards the door. I followed.“Already sent some teachers to go get him and the others.” Gunther replied.I was about following Rowena out the door of the kitchen when she came to an halt, she turns around and stared at me. “You can’t come Anastasia.” Rowena pats me on the shoulder sadly. “I can’t just stay in here. Maybe a face off with Abaddon is what I need to bring back my power. Please Rowena, I should be out there fighting.” I argued, my eyes pleading.“And what if you don’t get your powers back?” She raised an eyebrow. “I…” I was about arguing further but she stopped me with a hush. “I
Britney’s POV:“Please tell me that man “is” the last man.” I said to Carl, fanning my face with my bare hand. I feel so tired and hungry. If my house wasn’t destroyed I would really love to soak my tired self in my bathtub, or go for a dip in the swimming pool.“Yup, that’s the last.” Carl replied folding a big poly bag. I accompanied Mrs Maria and some young men from the clan about my age, to hand out incentives to the people affected by the earthquake. Most of this people lost their homes, jobs, families and a lot more. Mrs Maria can’t give them back their lives and so handing out food, clothes, bed and a warm blanket is all we could do. If witches were to go around the world repairing broken earth, houses, companies and all.. that would be one suspicious movement and also there’s not a lot of those witches to even help with the movement. “We should head back to the van.” Carl suggested. I would love to step back and just admire this young fineeeee man standing in-front of me,
"It's all chaos Ana, everywhere and everyone is in chaos out here. Where the fuck are you cause I need help to get out of here!" Britney yelling voice comes through my phone speaker the second I answered her call."Calm down Britney, I will come get you right away. But first tell me where you are." I spoke into the phone softly."I'm my house, where else would I be?" She replied sounding agitated."Okay Britney, I need you step outside your house, that way... if there's any earth quake about happening you could avoid it." I instructed her. "Okay, okay. I'm going outside, any other thing I should know?" I could picture her nodding to my every words, her hands tightened around her phone like her life depended on it. "Stay put and stay safe. I will come get you right away." I hung up, turned around ready to leave the clans mansion in other to go save my best friend."I'm coming with you." Christian said bringing me to an halt. I turned around, "you can't." "Why not?" He challenged."
"Long ago, there was a demon called Abaddon. Abaddon is the keeper of hell, he is called the destroyer and the bringer of terror. Abaddon life's goal was to bring hell on earth for humans and the only thing that could stop him was dragon's breath. And this is were Arkalis comes in. In other to stop Abaddon from destroying earth and merging it with hell, he had to create your forefathers... the dragon." Mrs Maria paused."So you are telling me... that war wasn't between kings like it was told?" I asked shocked."Yes. It was between Abaddon and your forefathers. The dragon's breathe, couldn't kill Abaddon it could only separates Abaddon powers from his body and that gem contained his powers . With the little power he still had in him, Abaddon was able to disappear never to be heard from again." Mrs Maria narrates. "And what happened to the Gem?" I asked crossing and uncrossing my legs patiently."It was placed in a hidden location, that even the elders know nothing about. And this is
"How could you've kept this from me. The entire clan, yes! But me, why?" Christian exclaimed pacing around the cabin. Christian didn't leave earlier when I actually thought he did. Instead, he drove out of the woods and waited for me. Since he suspected I didn't have my powers anymore, he knew if his suspicions were in anyway true I would walk out of the woods. If I had my powers, I wouldn't be walking instead I would have just disappeared and appeared back in my house. I had tried to argue and Lie to his face again, but he wasn't having any of my lies so I came clean."I knew you would refuse me from doing so and I can't lose you Christian. I can't watch you die." I cried out standing up from the armchair. He came to a halt sighing, rubbing his forehead tiredly... "OK I get it you didn't have a choice. But this terror you gave your powers to, isn't he the same person who tried to kill you back in the past?""He... he is the one." I stuttered staring at the ceiling, avoiding hi
