The Witch From Elnor

The Central Dome

“I’ve you heard what the witches are doing?” Persini asked.

Persini is one of the oldest cleansers. He is two hundred and fifty years old unlike other cleansers Persini is gentle, calculative and patient. He is one of the decision makers and one of the oldest during the days of witch raid.

After Katherine died, the witch raid began immediately, witches who worshipped and served Lilith were hunted down by the cleansers and although the Cleansers are one of the most powerful creatures of daylight after the exit of vampires into twilight, the witches were not to be toyed with considering the fact they are good in herbs and spells, many cleansers lost their lives during the hunt So, Persini is one of the Cleansers who escaped death.

Cleansers live up to a thousand years if their life is spared from all dangers which is not possible since they keep the balance between werewolves, Vampires and Sorcerers.

“I have, I heard they now hide in close doors worshipping Lilith, enchanting the names of the four” Osini spoke calmly.

"They must be mad if they think they’ll take us back to the days of terror." Persini speaks angrily

"Persini anything is possible" Osini said.

"I think we should gather the boys then and begin the work. There’s a prophecy about one who will come," Persini spoke confidently.

"Same old, leave those bed time stories because I’ll rather help myself than wait for a savior who I’ve not seen."

"Osini that’s unlike you, you loved faith so much, what happened?" Persini asked

"Nothing happened, I grew up." Osini answered.

"Hahahaha.." he laughed...then said "change in deed is constant however, we shouldn’t forget there’s a change that lurks to destroy values and believes. If the myth or whatever about Lilly is true then, we need all the help we can get."

“Yes we do but even if the myth is true how do we know the chosen?” Osini asked.

“It is written in the octet of the Witches that one to come will be from a strange lineage."

"A strange lineage?, I wonder what that means." Osini seems surprised.

"I believe it means, it will be from a different breed or be an entirely different breed, there’s a fragment of the octet of witches in the Perches dome” Persini said.

The Octet of Witches was written by an ancient seer who wrote many things that will happen in the near future. Many of these things came to past during the age of darkness but a few are still yet to be fulfilled.

"Okay separate the boys into two, a part should join us in the hunt and the second will join Babacok in sourcing the details from the octet book”

"Thank you brother, the earlier, the better." He said.

“As of old” Osini said.

“As of old” Persini replied.

Babacok is in charge of the Perches dome. It is where young Perches are trained and initiated into the Light Acts, the Light Acts are the skills and secrets of the Perches, the source of their power. There are six Perches dome located in the six continents where only perches with special gifts in mind reading are allowed to be leaders.

Babacok who is also an old cleanser is the intelligent one, he holds several knowledge of the Perches, he is witty and full of cunningness, he and some other Perches trains the young in the Acts.

Babacok special power is mind reading. Every Perches is born with special powers, powers only unique to that particular person although more than one person can have similar unique powers but ability to wield these powers range from person to person.

Babacok was sitting on a wooden chair made from oak wood, the chair which has been passed from Spearhead to Spearhead is as old as the Perches themselves since the oak tree is sacred to both the Sorcerers, Vampires and Werewolves, it was a symbol of unity, strength and wisdom to the Perches.

As the Sorcerers are known for their wisdom and magic, the Werewolves for their unity and the vampires for their strength. The Spearhead who is the leader and the keeper of the Dome is the only one authorized to seat on the oak chair.

Babacok was sitting on the oak chair when he received a call, one of the boys hurriedly brought the phone to him making a gesture familiar only to the Perches

“hello” Babacok greets.

Babacok, the person on the other side of the phone calls out.

“Yes please who is this” Babacok shouts. Everyone knows Babacok to be one with a very loud voice.

“It is Persini, Persini spoke.

“Ah Persini! I’m sorry., I didn’t know it’s you” Babacok spoke frankly,

"I understand" Persini replied.

"To what do I owe this call?" Babacok asked this question because he hasn’t received a call from Persini for a very longtime.

“please open the Octet of Witches” Persini said.

"What exactly do you seek?" Babacok asked.

It’s not ”I” but “we” Persini replied.

"What do you hope to get playing in the dark? Light your words" Babacok spoke impatiently.

"Okay, I think it’s time Persini said.

" Time for what old man? Babacok asked.

"The witches are worshipping Lilith hoping she’ll resurrect Katherine. They wait anxiously for Dark moon day, the day of the moon eclipse, they’ll also search for the promised one, and I’m sure they’ll come for the octet. I want us to get the promised one before they get him/her Persini spoke seriously.

"Hahahaha.. Babacok laughed, so you believe in those folklores?"

" You speak like a child, weren’t you there? When Saul came back alive? Didn’t you see the resurrection? I know you’re not part of those who say there’s no resurrection” Persini said.

"I am not but it’s been fifteen, sorry seventeen years now, why now?" Babacok asked.

"I don’t know but the earlier you search that book for answers the better Persini said.

"Okay I will put the boys to work" Babacok finally accepted the fact that it’s possible.

Babacok did not doubt, he knew what’s coming but he is hoping their will be an alternative however, if there’s none, then what will happen must happen he resolved within his mind.

Babacok picked a few boys serving at the dome who went with him into the locker room where they store all their information with magic to search for the Octet of witches.

The magic used in the locker changes the view of the locker room to a bar. One searching must look beyond what his eyes sees.

As he entered the room, he stood still while the boys watched him then walked inside as he walked in, the boys can see everything changing back to how a locker room should look. He told the boys to start searching for it and told them what the book looks like.

"It is time we hunt those worshippers of Lilith down before it’s too late, the earlier, the better," Osini tells Persini.

Osini is an elder representing the African continent while Persini represents South America, Persini and Osini has been friends since they were initiated into the Seltic Cult, a cult of the Perches.

Selt is the name of the first male Perche, there are two types of Perche, the ones who live a normal everyday life and the ones specifically trained to keep the balance.

Every Perche is supposed to keep the balance but some prefer to live a normal life however, many Perche chose to keep the balance. About 80% chose to keep the balance because living a normal life is dangerous as the Perche are always hunted by vampires, werewolves and Sorcerers. Osini calls one of the combat leaders Radmart, he tells Radmart to prepare the boys for the hunt.
