They entered the gate and the witch disappeared, leaving just the four of them. At first, they were confused about what route to follow but with the help of the map they had with them, they found their way to the Live river. It was a big river with an invisible bridge. You will have to pass a test before you can cross. They stared at each other wondering what their test would be. "Ariana, do you have any idea, what the test will be?" Jamal asked
Ariana shook her head. She was as confused as the rest. "Nah. I think we will just wait and see what happens next""Maybe we should try crossing over" Jasmine suggestedJabal furrowed his brows. "Are you for real?. There isn't any bridge to cross""We try crossing it, it's just a suggestion, ok?. What if we are not supposed to pass any test?"Jabal hissed. "You...""This is not the time to start an argument," Ariana said, rolling her eyes"Jabal is just been an asshole. Maybe we don't need a test. IfAs they walked amidst the market, no one stared at them or notice their appearance. "Don't you guys think something is wrong somewhere?" Jasmine whispered"Why are they going about their normal business without talking to them?" Ariana thought. She turned to face Jamal who was closer to her. "There is something strange here. I will try talking to one of them". Jamal nodded. Ariana walked closer to a woman who was selling fish. She displayed the fishes in a star shape. Her eyes were focused on the fish she was cutting. She had cut some into some strange shape. At first, Ariana was afraid to talk to her but having gotten a go-ahead from the rest, she picked up the courage. "Good morning ma'am" she greeted.The woman stared above Ariana's head and continue cutting the fish. Ariana batted her lashes and returned to meet the rest who had tried their luck in talking to the rest of the villagers. They stood in the middle of the market, confused about what to do next. They had tho
THE RED-HAIRED WITCHES COVENEmma has decided to take a walk across the field. Anna had taken the twins, Kira and Kiran for a music class. Kira can sing and control people in the process, while Kiran is very good with instruments that can be used for various magical purposes. Anna had taken them to the training ground so they could get used to their powers and also control them, leaving Emma alone in the house. Since she did not want to visit other witches, believing they might be busy with one or two things, in preparation for the spring festival, that's the reason she decided to take a walk.As she walked amid the morning glory flowers, she couldn't help but enjoy the sweet fragrance from the flowers. They reminded her so much of a place that had refused to go away from her heart, though she couldn't get the clear view of it. It was like something she does every day, maybe from her past life or right before she lost her memory. Though no one could tell where she came fro
THE EARTH WITCHES COVENThe member of the council in the earth witches coven gathered to have a brief meeting in Ella's study room. They had received a letter of threat, just after the first cockcrow. And just like Ariana had sent Mira to warn them, Rose was the one who sent the letter. A letter of their impending doom. The person who had received the letter had shared the news with the rest members and by the time the letter got to Ella, there were already commotions amidst the rest of the coven members. They knew their lives were in great danger and they couldn't help but weep. Even their magic couldn't help them.It was a great sorrow for them that the twins and Jamal whom they had considered their source of hope, are yet to get the answer they seek. No one knew if they got to Alaska or if they had seen the great witch. No one knew when they will be back. They lamented. When would they be back to save them from Rose and Malcolm, their greatest rival? They had thou
ALASKAThe great witch ushered the kids into her home. They entered the cave and their mouth opened in awe. It was an elegant house. They couldn't call it a room cause it was more like a full house, having so many rooms in it. The arrangement of the furniture was a surprise to them. And from the look, you could tell the bodies of the couches were made of expensive materials. They were neatly arranged and also in an elegant style. The television was rooted to the wall. It was so big they wondered what she needed it for. A smaller or maybe medium size would have been enough for, they thought. The curtains were sea-blue colors with a red flower design in the middle of them, matching with the color of the chairs. The floor was tiled black with little fishes as its design. The living room was painted in sea blue. The light from the bulbs was blue too. They couldn't stop staring. "Welcome to my humble abode," the great witch said, jerking them back to reality."Thanks"The
She froze to her spot. Why would the door suddenly fall to the ground with a large thud?. She was scared to death. She ran quickly into hiding. "Wow, my power worked," someone said. She recognized the voice so well. Isn't that Jamal? she thought. It has to be his. She had grown up hearing that voice every day. She could identify the voice anywhere and anytime. She heard the sound of cracking again. She peeped through her hiding. The door was been lifted by an unknown force. She stared in delight. Could it be Jamal doing this again?. She shook her head. What if it was a prank or a way to lure her out of her hiding?. What if they are trying to take her like they've taken the rest?. She sat back making sure none of her body was visible enough for anyone to see.She was seated for a while. She lost track of time. She was also very hungry but she was afraid to go out for fear that she might be taken. "Don't tell me Jasmine is still asleep" someone said. The voice sounded like
THE EARTH WITCHES COVENIt was a great surprise to Ella when she found out Ariana knew the destination of the red-haired witches. How did she come about the place?. How come she knew where the red-witches were and she never told her?. She thought they are very close. Close enough to know what happens to her and around her. She stared at Mira. "How come she knew about the place?""I-it, i-it w-was" Mira shudderedElla sighed. She knew Mira was afraid to tell her the truth. "Mira, you need to tell me the truth, ok. Every part of it". Mira nodded. "Now, take a deep breath". Mira did as she was told. "Good. Now start talking""It was during the time I had a strange reaction on my body and I was asked to get a plant which could only be found in the red-witches territory". she took a break, sighed, and then continue. "No one agreed to go for me. So, when I decided to go alone, Ariana offered to help. I don't know how she got the location""Mira, you're lying. You'
**Ella and Alora were talking about their plans when the room suddenly became dark. Ella stood up to see what was going on, while Alora put on the candle. Ella's eyes widened in shock as she turned to face Alora. "We are under attack"Alora blinked. That can't be. "Didn't Rose indicate their day of the attack?"Ella nodded, walking closer to the table. She picked up the scroll they had received. "According to her message, it should be next week"Alora stood up. "They lied to us"They began to hear screams. Alora rushed to the window. "They are burning down houses"Ella frowned. "I need to go outside or our coven members will be wasted""I will go with you""No, send a message to the rest of the council members. You all need to be safe. I will fight them alone"Alora blinked. "I-i can't let you go out alone"Ella smiled. "If I am captured, the members will need a leader and that's you". She gave Alora a stone. "It will keep you safe.
ALASKA VILLAGEWhen food was ready. Stella called Ariana and Jasmine to help her set the dining. They placed the food on the table. Jamal and Jabal joined the rest at the table and they began to eat. When they were done, Jasmine and Ariana helped Stella clear the dishes. They took them to the kitchen to wash. "Jasmine" Stella began as they entered the kitchen. Jasmine rolled her eyes. She doesn't know why Stella had called her name. "You're the only one who doesn't know her power yet". Jasmine nodded in agreement. "You also do not know your real identity". Jasmine nodded. Of course, she knows she doesn't know all these, but she doesn't understand where the talk was leading to. Stella sighed. "Ariana and the rest will help you with your identity. After that, you can join others to know and learn your powers". Jasmine smiled. She couldn't wait to know her power and began to use them. Stella continued. "Like I told others, I would have sent you guys back home after telling you who
