The Witch From Elnor

Convergence of Darkness

It is time, let’s rise up for the rituals, a man putting on red said. Everyone is putting on black but the man leading is wearing red, it’s a gathering of the Sorcerers. They are the worshippers of Lilith. A man brings a human heart and drops it on a bowl placed upon the alter at the front of the man on red. Three men moves round with a big bowl which has blood in it. They pass it to everyone, and they touch a little with their fingers and place it on their foreheads. After the men with the bowl of blood has successfully passed it round, they went and stood before the man on red. The man on red turns and addresses the crowd.

“On this ground Lilith promised ten thousand years ago to reincarnate into one of us every one thousand year, and for ten thousand years we have been praying, waiting for that day, the day we take over mankind. Fifteen years ago our own Katherine beloved of Lilith was killed by Perches, she was promised by the Seer of Ashtheroth our own blood to rise again, as we worship, then will she rise, as we worship in spirit and deceit.”

One of the three men who stood besides the man in red shouted “ Edipe bodi kpasi Ay” and everyone echoed the same words. The language of the Sorcerers was secret to them only. The born wizards don’t learn this language, it comes as they grow but the wizards who are wizards through stewardship don’t know how to speak but they must learn if they want to know and to learn one must be initiated into another cult and must do human sacrifices. Some of the stewards are not ready to do it so, they remain in that state. As the other wizards echoed the words, the man on red raised up the human heart, and spoke many words in their language, and gave it to one of the men standing besides him, and the man brought out a knife from his sleeve and cut the heart into pieces. They then served it round and everyone took a piece and the man in red said “ndi” which means eat, and they all ate. This ritual is done every last Sunday of the month to call forth the spirit of Lilith upon Katherine, so Katherine will rise again. They’ll continue until the body of Katherine has come back to normal then the final ritual will be done which is on the day of the black moon.

There’s only one worship center for every continent and in Europe they use the Castle, a five story building which was sealed by the GPD because of the mysterious death of a lady thirteen years ago, since then the place havn’t been opened as the case still remains unsolved. The Castle was a hotel where the very rich lodged. The Sorcerers used the ballroom where different events was held for their meeting. The ballroom is located on the last floor.

After some hours they were done with the ritual, everyone unveiled themselves as they happily greet each other.

The man on red is called Eli, he is the leader of the Coven at Glomsmire, the three men who were standing besides him are his stewards, they are not born Warlocks but learned ones. They serve him in exchange for his knowledge of Witchcraft. Eli greets one of the men in Black, they exchange glances and make a strange gesture while smiling. The man’s name is Parote, he is one of the elders of the Coven. He is old but very strong, he tells Eli how the Perche are hunting down Wizards, He says to Eli “Did you here they killed Asher?”

Yes I did, the sun is in the fountain Eli answered. He must be terrified, Parote said. On the contrary, he isn’t Eli answered. He is strong then, Parote said. Very strong, he outran five Perche including Radmart, Eli said. He is a strong man. What’s his name? Parote asked. His name is Jack, Eli answered. Jack is a good name, Parote Said. Yes it is, Eli replied.

Jacked, Kennite and Lamilla walked through the garden as they discuss, Kennite and Lamilla are witches, they are very good ones and have been assigned by Arthemes, Arthemes is also called the grandmaster of the fountain of Limock. He is in charge of training witches and warlocks. Arthemes is one of the most powerful warlocks in the fountain of Limock.

The fountain of Limock is located in the East Plains and it’s very far from Salt City and Ashdove, it is closer to Elnor that’s why witches are dominant in Elnor. “You must bring the subconscious from within, Kennite said as they walked through the garden. You already know everything, the herbs are helping you Lamilla added. “you’re a gifted child” Lamilla said, Jack looked at Lamilla for calling him a child, seeing she’ looks young unlike Kennite who look a bit older. I Know you think me to be too small to call you child, Lamilla said. Lamilla is seventy five years old, Kennite spoke with a smile. I see that surprised look a lot especially from the new folks here, Lamilla stood still, and then said you can ask any question. “which other questions will I ask except, how did you get so young, did you use an anti aging cream? He asked.

No. I didn’t, it’s a ritual, a very dangerous ritual only few sorcerers have the mind to do, Kennite said. Why the fear? It’s because of the creature which appears before you Kennite spoke illustrating with her hands. “So are you afraid of it?, Jack asked Kennite. Not really, I am 100 years old. I stopped the ritual when I clocked eighty, living is no longer for me, that’s why I’m aging so fast Kennite said. All I have learnt since I came here is that each ritual have a price tag and a reward, Jack said. Sadly, that’s true. This ritual requires certain sacrifices and renewal every Halloween. Heh, that’s every year? Jack asked, startled. Yes, it’s every year. Lamilla answered. I’ll like to do the ritual but what are the requirements? Jack asked. All you need is a human, that’s the price you must pay every year to renew your life Lamilla replied. So, approximately you’ve killed Seventy five people, Jack asked. It all depends on when you start the ritual, I started the ritual when I was thirty years old. Now make your calculations, Kennite said. Wow, that’s lots of humans Jack spoke lightly.

Jack is not comfortable with the way Witches and Warlocks kill humans, they don’t value human life yet they are the closest to humans.

Jack if you really want to do the ritual, we have a Warlock who supplies humans, she said. I’ll think about it Jack replied. Jack wasn’t going to think but just said that to okay the topic. They continued talking as they walked in the garden. Who is Katherine? I heard some witches worship her Jack asked. Lamilla smiled and answered. Katherine is one of the closest descendants of Lilith. Katherine is the witch who fell in love with a Perche and married the man when it was discovered, the Perche was killed, betrayed by his own people. It is against the law of the Perche to marry outside, they can only marry themselves. They say he was killed for breaking the law but death shouldn’t be a penalty to that offense according to the laws set by the Cardinals and their Katherine who was loved by the witches became angry, and sad. She attempted to bring her husband back to live but was also killed by the Perches. Katherine was and is our good friend. We believe she'll resurrect someday and take revenge on those murderers. This is why we worship Katherine. It’s a fellowship of the believers of Lilith.

That’s a very sad story, Jack said. Yes it is Lamilla said as she shuffles her feet. Katherine shall rise the day the moon stands still. She’s the only hope we have against the Perches. We believe she’ll help us because we need all the help we can get. “what if she comes and disappoints you?, What if she doesn’t resurrect?, Jack said. She will, Kennite answered.

Kennite and Lamilla were good friends of Katherine, they regret everyday for not fighting along side Katherine when the Perches came after her. The law is that no one should interfere with their work or aid an outlaw but the Perches are becoming loosed. It seems the law no longer applies to them, they kill even for crimes that does not worth death penalty. Almost every sect is getting tired of their behavior and soon the world will turn against them. Kennite and Lamilla are prepared for war, they are ready to stand by Katherine whenever she resurrects. The Witches are all prepared, the warlocks also ready.
