“Who are you?”
I sighed and bowed lightly in submission, it wouldn't be any good to be misunderstood by Leader Atrix's protectors.
“Greetings, sisters, please do not misunderstand my coming here. I have come not to harm but seek the welfare of Leader Atrix-”
“-How are we supposed to believe you? Many people are worried for Leader Atrix but not many dares to step foot around this vicinity” Sister Nelix said boldly.
Nelix used to be like me, a disciple under Leader Atrix. She was very bright and knew almost everything, it was no wonder she became qualified to serve and protect Leader Atrix. With her fast reflexes, she could protect Atrix well.
“What Nelix said makes sense, many people are worried about leader Atrix but no one dares come here except the council, could be from the council by any chance? You look posh, charismatic, wise and com
“Ziyah, is anything the matter? Is Draco alright?”I asked Ziyah as soon as I arrived at Ice cave.Ziyah sighed and nodded, “Just that he was really sad. He said you don't care about him and all sorts of nonsense.”I ran my hand through my hair, “What sorts of nonsense did he utter?”I knew it. Sooner or later that kid would misunderstand me. He was too naive. I smiled. What was I thinking? Draco was just a kid, of course he was naive.“Well.. master.. he said you were a bad witch, you're allowed to use your powers but whenever he uses his he's forced to sleep or eat alone in the cave.. H-he also said he.. he'd rather live with his father than you”That was it. I was pissed.“That prick!” I cursed and marched into the cave, “Draco!” “Draco, come out here!”Ziyah follo
“Do you perhaps have a poison with the below symptoms?” I asked the sister sitting over the counter, uninterested in what I had to say.“In this store, we only sell poisons for sturbbon rats, pests and terminates. Why would we bother to understand the symptoms they exhibit before dying?” She popped a gum in her mouth and started chewing loudly.I sighed and looked over the poisons, none of them looked like what I was looking for. But I wouldn't give up, I leaned closer to the woman over the counter and said in a low tone, “How about poisons that can kill a witch, huh?”The woman eyes widened and I put a peal on the table, right in front of her.“It'll be secret between the both of us, I promise.” I said with a wink.She sighed and nodded hesitantly while putting the pearl in her pocket.“Fine.” she looked over the sheet in
I travelled back to Ice cave quickly and Draco ran to hug me immediately he spotted me.“Mom I'm so glad you came back. Has leader Atrix been cured yet? Are we finally going to meet Dad?”I patted Draco's head, “Atrix hasn't been cured yet. The reason I came is because someone is suspicious about you. That's why I have to send you to your father quickly. Then I'll come back to sort things out after making sure you're safe.”Draco smiled and nodded quickly, “So we're leaving now?” Draco asked.“Yes. It'll only take an hour to reach the end of the border. We'll take a boat from there and go to the seven hells realm. We have to do so quietly as I will be punished if I am found out.”Draco put his small finger against his lips, “Yes. I'll be quiet so mother doesn't get punished.”I nodded and kissed Draco's forehead. 
It was dawn when I returned to Crescent moon. Thankfully, there seemed to be no problem.I went back to Ice cave to sleep and meditate. After last night, my emotions were a wreck and I had black circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep and tears.After a few hours, I felt more energetic but I still had dark circles under my eyes so I had to cover it with thick make-up.Then I decided to go to Leader Atrix's cottage. The crew that interrogated me when I first came here welcomed me, but this time they were more welcoming.Then I noticed Nelix wasn't here. It seemed she really was serious about getting in the council for her to even stop guarding Leader Atrix.“Hello, Sister Beauty” Lot said with a curtesy bow. I bowed back politely, “Hello Brother Lot, you look grand today.” I said and saw Lot cheeks darken and turn into a deep shade of pink.“May I beg to see
After a month of reading and testing the poison, I found the name of the poison.‘Red bull’ The poison was indeed most popular in the seven hells realm. Ursurps of the king's throne was most popular in the seven hells realm and Red bull poison was mostly used to kill their leaders. The red bull poison-It had the exact symptoms Leader Atrix showed;Loss of memoryDizzinessHungerEmotional instabilityIntense sadness or depressionWeakness of the spiritual cognitionLazinessUnwillingness to workTalkativenessVulnerability to wineLoss of the three sensesDull memoryWeakness of the mindAnd one more thing, I didn't know before.Death, when the carrier of the poison experience intense emotions.The poison had two ways to be suppressed. It couldn't be completely cured in
“Hi, you've been here for five days already. I know you must be feeling incredibly sore and tired and cold for the pond is always cold. Why don't you leave? You came back for your punishment when you should've left, I really admire your courage but-”“-Brother,” I was nearly surprised by how raspy my voice sounded. I hadn't eaten or had a drink since I came here. And it'd been five days already. I had two days to go, I couldn't slack off now.“No need to worry, I'll accept my punishment gladly.” I said adamantly as I stared at the rising moon. It was near midnight and my heart was racing. My entire body ached and I was sure I was numb, I couldn't feel a thing.***Drip drip drip, rain poured on my already numb spirit.The rain marked the seventh day of my punishment along with the full moon above the sky.The moonlite wasn't here so I too

When my eyes opened I was wearing a long dress with a huge coat, a quilt around me and I was laying near the fireplace.I felt better. And my breath was so much better but then I remembered what Ziyah did.“Master I made you a nourishing soup, please have some” Ziyah said while moving closer to me. Immediately she was near me I handed her a resounding slap causing her to let go off the bowl in her hand. It poured on my quilt, making me more aggravated. I slapped her another time and got up from the bed while throwing the quilt and coat off of me.“You pest!” I hissed, and frowned when I saw Ziyah bow her head foolishly, “Knee down!” I snapped and Ziyah did just that quickly.“Master please calm down! Would you tell me what I did wrong? I just saved you and-”I was angry, “Shut up! You saved my life does not mean I should be grateful about it. Af
