The dance begins smoothly for us. We call the first element as we make our first spin around. The ground erupts into beautiful flowers as we begin our spin seamlessly. Switching directions, we begin our flow of water. As the water of layer is added, we keep our shapes simple. Even though we are fully trained, we want the real show stopper to be the novices. That is not something that we want to outdo.Once the circle of water is completed we switch directions again. This time, flames flow out of us into the circle. The flames take some shapes as well but once again they are not as eccentric as I am hoping the Novices make. Now, it is time for the final switch in directions. As we begin the air portion of the dance I spare just a second to look up at the Witch Council. They are positively fuming over the fact that Safiya is performing the dance with us. I would find it humorous if I did not have to focus right now.As we weave the air between all of the elements we slow down our danc
After we get done with the dance everybody heads to the lake to celebrate our newest Advanced witches. Well, our first ever Advanced witches actually. There have been a lot of firsts since I got here and I plan for there to be many more as well.At the lake, we have food and drinks set up at the tables. We left an open invitation for the werewolves all to come but I highly doubt that any are going to show up at this point. They either need some space after yesterday or are too worried to come without backup. Still, I would not be surprised if Connor were to show up.Dante has decided to stay for the celebration with me. The pack is used to seeing the two of us together but not the Coven so this will be nice to incorporate in as well. He is, of course, a permanent fixture when it comes to me so it is only natural that he be around the witches more. The rest of the Hybrid Council has opted to head back to the pack. All except for Julia. Kevin offered to stay with her but she waved him
I feel way better after having the Council members all set. Now, for the party. Each of these girls has definitely earned this party after all of their hard work in the last few months. They have worked hard enough to catch up on all of the training that they should have been having from the beginning. That is a huge accomplishment in such a short time span.There are many others that might be ready to move on as well but we cannot have them all move on at one time. These four had shown the most exceptional improvement in such a short time span so they are the ones that got to move on the fastest. "You did amazing today." Dante says giving me a slight kiss on my temple."Oh yeah, why would you say that?" I smile as I turn towards him. "Well, maybe, it is because all of these witches were looking up to you and you did not let them down. Maybe, it is because of how much you have accomplished since you took over the Coven. You have done a lot. You are still doing a lot. It is something
The next week, I decide to turn my focus back to getting some of the teenage werewolves ready for a weekend on their own in the woods. With all of the drama that happened after the last time we tried it, I have not tried it again. This time, I am going to have to keep a closer eye on everyone that is staying on their own for the weekend.This group is actually made up of all females. At least I should not have to worry about the witches coming to distract them. Well, hopefully not. I guess there is still a chance of that. This group is staring at me in awe as I begin to describe what their weekend is going to entail. I am not entirely sure that they are paying attention to what I am telling them. It seems more like they are busy staring at me."Alright, we are going to go over how to survive. First off, you have to find a shelter. You will need to be protected from the elements. If there is a bad enough storm we will, of course, come and get you but if not then you will be expected to
Tuesday and Thursday we had joint practice with both the wolves and the witches in the new building that we created. We had another obstacle course set up as well as some new ideas for training with both species. It is taking some time but I think that they are all working together better than before. The only problem is trying to get Connor and Hazel to pay attention when I am talking.The Witch Council is still coming to all of our group training. Safiya's eyes sparkle as if she wishes to join but one glance from Simonetta stops her. I find myself asking her for help when demonstrating something just to get her away from the rest of the Council. She always gives me an excited smile when she comes over to help me while Simonetta shoots fireballs out of her eyes at me. Dante and I have been having dinner together on Wednesdays as well. The waiting for the right time to have dinner with him was getting old. If it is scheduled then we all have time to prepare for it. Having our very ow
It is time for the teenage girls to try their hands at surviving a weekend on their own in the woods. They all seem a little nervous but nowhere near as nervous as their parents are to have their girls out on their own. I have done everything that I can to assure them that their girls are safe but I had to be careful not to give away too much information about the weekend. I write their campsites on popsicle sticks for them to draw which place they are going to be staying at. As they each pick their respective campsites, I can see one girl's parent's face pale. She must have gotten the one that has the highest difficulty rating. Considering how much better the girls had listened than the boys, I have full faith that they will do just fine. I have no doubts that she will have an issue finding water either. In each lesson she stood out as a shining example of what to remember. There is nobody that could have been better prepared for that site so far."So, you all have your campsites.
"Listen child, when you get back to the Witch's House, I want you to find your grandmother and tell her that I am being kept out of your house. That is not something that should be possible. I have been trying to reach your dreams again for a while now.There is a lot that I want to discuss but I will have to give you a couple of days to figure out what is going on. Now, you have made a lot of progress recently. The strides that the Coven and Pack have taken are quite extraordinary. It is time that I tell you about cross species breeding.If a witch and a werewolf wish to have a bond similar to that of the werewolf bond, then I will oblige. They just have to go out during a full moon and ask for their souls to be joined together. Have them head to the clearing, join hands and look towards the moon. Once their hearts beat as one, I will grant them the bond. If they are not ready the bond will not be granted. Children will then be possible after a bond is established. It will be accomp
"You seem extremely excited. What is going on?" Dante asks studying my face."I have news. The Moon Goddess met with me in my sleep again." I tell him."That would explain the cloaked feeling that I felt when I reached towards your mind. I could only tell that you were safe and that you were not scared in any way but nothing else." He tells me."I doubt she would want someone peeking into our private convesations. The news is huge though." I tell him."So,.....what is it?" He asks puzzled."I can't tell you that yet. We will have to get the entire Hybrid Council together first." I tell him."Okay. It must be important then. Tomorrow morning?" He asks.I nod my head enthusiastically. I am going to have difficulties waiting to tell anyone about it. It is only fair for those that it affects most directly to let them hear it first. We are also going to have to be careful how the information gets out. There are some that will try to stop witches from going out at night with a werewolf. Th
