Chereads / The Next Archangel / Chapter 13 - The coven (1/2)

Chapter 13 - The coven (1/2)

Thee three angels had been walking on the path and eventually, they found themselves out of the forest. The view of mountains was the first thing they had noticed. The beautiful tree house was another thing to their left but they decided to leave it alone. With their wings unfolded they lifted themselves higher above the ground and started to head to the sky. It was an old habit they used to do back at home. They would fly across the sky amidst the clouds just for the fun of it..

For some reason, none of the other teenage angels joined them. In two minutes they had made it to the starry sky with their wings spread wide. Kyle made it first and with his sword stepped on his back he tore through the lower layer of the atmosphere into the one above it 17 kilometres high and just floated in peace. The other two quickly followed after and mad circles while giggling.

This was something they could have just done earlier...they could have left the forest by flying and completed the objective perfectly but the forest's beauty made them stay close to the ground.

They considered having fun as the most important thing. Of course, they would take the mission seriously but not as much as having fun. They soared in the sky and played a quick game of tag that lasted 10 minutes before they decided to check the notebook for their next objective. They were in really good moods.

They flipped to the page of objectives and indeed something had changed.

[1. become familiar with your wishes/ done]

[2. escape the (Dark forest) within 7 days, unnoticed/ done]

[3. go to the capital of the kingdom of Lardocia]

[4. (complete objectives 1,2&3 to view)]

"Ok...which direction are we heading to."

[ You should head to the east towards your left and if you fly as you are in the night sky you may be noticed, that is if you're fine with that- Jesus]

"Let's head there right now...the flight could be fun."

And with that the group took flight and their figures left the forest behind. A new world was open for them to explore and save.

(Within the dark forest by the wailing waterfalls.)

A witch wearing a dark cloak was riding on the back of a large male wolf. It growled as it sprinted and jumped over the roots of trees. The wolf's name was 'snowbrock' and it was a white wolf with fast paws. They were zooming through the forest and soon the wailing waterfalls were within view. The ground started sinking into a sort of large crater with several trees around its edges. There was a lake in the middle of the crater that took up half of its volume.

The witch and wolf hadn't slowed down at all and with a few more metres they had reached the part where a river dived into a waterfall. They continued on and their figures disappeared into a splash of blue sparkles.

With that they travelled through a spacial crack and in a few seconds they landed somewhere new. It was a place within the dark forest but could only be found by people who were allowed to find it.

The city of the coven of the wolf witches. Ninrillin

Several odd houses with different coloured roofs were everywhere in the witch's sight. The village was eternally under the moonlight. There were witches with silver armour and magic wands who watched over the portal gate to the eastern district. When they saw the witch appear from the portal they immediately gave a bow and silently watched as she raced through the cobbled streets.

Several witches made way for her and she was quickly on her way to the giant castle in the centre of the city. As she got closer to it there were fewer witches in her way. She was soon in the noble witches' district with stronger battle witches standing guard.

She had soon arrived at the castle gates with Snowbrock stomping impatiently on the ground as a palace guard stepped forward to meet her. When she recognised the witch on the wolf she stepped to the side and raised her wand to the castle gates.

"OPRELUS!"

With that, the castle gates opened and the wolf ran through with the witch growing more agitated by the second. A cold wind hit her and snowbrock as they entered the castle grounds. The castle grounds had very few servants attending to the gardens and performing other duties. To the witch, none of them mattered.

She had reached the steps to the doors and hopped off her wolf. She gave him a few quick pats on his back to show gratitude and disappeared into the castle. The witch was immediately greeted by splendid furniture that adorned the entrance. She jumped onto the stairways to the second floor and in a few quick steps, she was heading down the east hallway to the stairways to the council's section of the castle. She wasn't supposed to have access to that section but she couldn't care less about courtesy currently.

She had crossed into another hallway that had two battle witches guarding it with golden armour and longsword with magic-imbued crystals. They stared her down and she tried to pass them only to have her face hit with the pommel of one of their swords.

"Ouch!! do you know who I am!!!"

"you aren't welcome to this section of the castle, witch Dorthea."

"I will have your heads on a silver plate if you still deny me access!!"

"We are willing to take any punishment we deserve but you are still not welcome here."

Both battle witches released their strong strength auras and immediately the witch smirked. She was moving her hand to her waist towards her wand but then a voice interrupted.

"Dorthea you shouldn't be here..."

The witch named Dorthea turned her head towards the voice while showing great displeasure at seeing who it was..

"What do you want Ivette..."

"I am here to attend the council meeting and I just so happened to find you here. But really you shouldn't be here."

"I have something important to share with the council."

"And what may that be?"

"You'll have to let me in to find out."

The witch called Ivette was silent for a while before asking a question.

"And you can swear this on the name of the devil to whom you share a contract..."

"I do."

"Let us go in, excuse us I will account for any wrongs she may have caused you. Your salary will be doubled for a week."

Both of the battle witches bowed to Ivette as she walked past them with Dorthea following behind her. To swear on the name of a devil contract was considered as something very serious to a witch and if broken the punishment is worse than death.

"Can you give me a hint on what you want to say to the council..."

"Angels have appeared on this world."

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

"Yes...and it seems they are extremely powerful angels. They oppressed Krion's blood with their presence alone."

"Krion...this is something very serious. Let's hurry up."
