All Chapters of Warrior of the Way: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

"I know I joined the coven to practice magic," Kayla Lewell said from where she sat on her bedroom floor, twirling her copper hair with one of her fingers. Alex Barrister sat with her, his back against her bed, his legs folded and crossed in front of him. "To be honest, though, I never really thought it was all that real, you know? I just thought it was like meditation and the power of positive thinking. When we fought at that small neighborhood a few days back, it surprised me I could do anything."Alex shook his head at her. "You'd done small things before. You should have known magic existed. I mean, how long have you been practicing at the Murky Cauldron?"Kayla stared at him a moment, his dark, greasy bangs dangling in his dark eyes. Everything about Alex seemed dark. Dark eyes, dark shirt, dark clothes. Even his mood, at times, grew dark, mopey almost. Maybe, she thought, it came from being the only male in the coven. He never really stood a chance against all those women. Howeve

Rhychard jumped onto his back porch, rushing through the doorway of the sliding glass doors leading into his condo, which they kept open for Kree, so the coshey would be able to come and go as he needed. Renny had screamed once and then silence, and the silence terrified him. When he slid into the small living area of his condo, he saw Renny pressed against the wall, staring with wide eyes at something in the middle of the room. Pux and the other three gnomes stared at the same spot, but whereas Renny held a petrified expression pulling her face taut, they just looked confused."I swear, I don't see anything," Fist said, his tiny hands bunched into fists and shoved onto his hips. The gnome stood no taller than a child's action figure and looked just as silly. "It's just air. Who screams at air?""What's going on?" Rhychard asked, darting his gaze from Renny to the empty spot in the living room where she stared and then back to the gnomes standing around staring. "What the hell is ever

Tansy tossed the book into the pile already teetering on her desk. "I can't find anything," she said in exasperation as she fell back into her chair. For the past three days, she had poured over every book she had in her personal library while the Lore Master Apprentice searched through the ones on the front shelves only to come up empty-handed. "I've searched every book I can imagine and nothing talks about people leaving the Summerlands once they arrive nor those of the living traveling there." With a scowl twisting her features, she stared at the pile of books in front of her, her arms over her chest. "If Rose is truly trying to reach us, then I think the only path left is holding a seance and trying to contact her." She glanced up at Wanda who hovered over her all morning."A seance, how exciting." Wanda clapped her hands and then rubbed them together. "I've never done one of those before. What do we do?"Tansy just shook her head at the older woman. Wanda always attacked everythin

Famallumi sat on the floor of the Murky Cauldron, a pile of books scattered around him, while Tansy sat at her desk sipping some mint tea Wanda forced upon her. The elf arrived shortly after Wanda put the call out to the Valentine sisters about what happened, and he immediately started poring over the books on the shelves in an attempt to decipher what happened to the witch. Tansy turned him loose in her store as she always did, but inside she wondered why the Lore Master Apprentice didn't know more lore about things. He always seemed so shocked and amazed by anything that transpired in their world even if caused by a creature from theirs, that she wondered how long he had actually been studying to be a Lore Master.Wanda sat in a chair across from Tansy, her own hands wrapped around a chipped ceramic tea cup as she stared into the dark liquid. She gnawed on her bottom lip, her eyes bunched together as she struggled to come up with a reason for what happened, while never taking her gaz

When Alex and Kayla arrived at the Murky Cauldron, Kayla seemed huddled in on herself, her arms wrapped tightly around her waist as she stuck close to Alex. That part, in and of itself, wasn't unusual. Tansy had noticed the two of them drawing closer to one another over the past few weeks and it even made her glad. They both needed someone to lean on who would understand their unique quirkiness. Alex seemed to have the cooler head of the two, always eager to practice his craft or get lost in some idle conversation about some random tidbit of history, while Kayla seemed more introverted, shying away from anything or anyone who would demand something of her. However, today Kayla's reticence seemed even more heightened than normal, and the expression on Alex's face warned Tansy that something troubled him about his friend. He shot Tansy an imploring look and then quickly glanced at the smaller redhead as if hoping Tansy would pick up on his cues. Tansy sighed, realizing how lousy as of la
