I entered the dome and there were souls hovering above ground. "I thought the Obayifo only came here?" I said. "The Obayifo does come here as well as others from Locucts." explains Anubis. "The animals and even the insects which nobody talks about."
"Why not?"
"Do you wanna talk about disappearing roaches?"
"Well, technically they do that already."
"I'm not talking about hiding under the refrigerator…" he lowers his gaze. "I'm talking about ghost."
"That's outrageous."
"You haven't lived here long enough." he sighed. "Come along. Let's go see Sin-Drosu."
"Who's that?"
"She'll be handing your baptism into witchhood. We also call her sister."
"That's nice." I smile. "Sister Sin."

We went upstairs. This building only has two floors and the second floor is more of a dojo next to some classrooms.
Anubis's form shifted into a brown skinned man on two feet with his tail as bushy as a groomed shrub.He had hair on his chest as well as three knuckle piercings plus his five fingers. He wore a deep V with his hair in a jerry curl down to the mid of his back.
Plus a goatee.
"Damn." I followed behind. When do I get to do that? "Sister Sin!" We went to the classroom section which now that I can see, look like smaller dojos. We walked into the fourth room on the left and a big woman was sitting on the floor with her eyes closed.
Planets, plates, and a cat circled her. "She's in the mind, right now." Anubis whispered. His eyes were red like the sun. Looking closer, the iris was red and the back of the eye was orange--I AM STILL A DOG SOMEWHERE IN THE HEART. HE IS SEXY!
"What is she doing?"
"Talking to God. She used to be a Christian."
"Really? Why used to?"
"She killed her husband."
"Oh…"
"For raping their daughter."
"Oh…" please don't say anything else.
"Who was adopted."
"Uh…" I'm flastergasted. We must have disturbed her. Sister Sin opened her eyes. They were sky clear blue as she came out of meditation. "THere's a damn mutt in my room."
"Sister Sin, you have a new disciple."
When I said she was big. She was big! She looks like one of those women with the fat arms that you know makes that goddamn god ass mac and cheese at family reunion. Like she looks like that aunt whose house you go over and she doesn't want you to use the bath towels in the bathroom to wipe your hands on. She looks like that rich aunt that has a stupid small dog she babies and has a human ass name like… Lawrence. "I'll be damn. I told you I wasn't working." She struggles to get to her feet but with strength she uses her hand to push off the floor.
"This is Mokiri Pretty Gains. Hadi's daughter."
She stretches her back. "We tried to kill you early."
"What the fuck!"
"You needed to die. Coming out sick like you did; Hadi saw you were full of pain. Gail said you were a prophet. An honor baby."
"Ok. Skip all that." It sounds like I'm blatantly ignoring it. But I sound tormented. I don't wanna hear anymore bullshit. My father is Yawa, my mother is Hadi. My sister is dead…ish and my brother is a two faced fucking African.
"I guess we on the right path. Come along Shepherd." I take to tag along until I see the cat move behind her.
We go to the larger dojo where a witch is practicing magic. She holds fire in her hands and the fire becomes a wheel. She swings it around her arms, it shapes around her waist like a hula hoop. "Cool…"
"Witches are blessed in the dark arts as well as the light arcane magics like your basic ass fire, water, earth, and lighting." explians Sister Sin. I'm the avatar.
"what do I need to learn?"
"Death."
Goddamn it. I turn around but something pulls me. "Okra was an infiltrator. I swear…" she rolls her eyes. "Growden started this shit and isn't being too slick about it."
"I think he is…" I muttered. "And I guess you believe shit ain't nasty."
Shit is shit. Shit is nasty. "No ma'am?"
"I have to get your ass out that damn ball form. You need to earn your tats and get your soul all cleaned up. Do your hair and probably kill somebody close to you."
"Why the fuck I gotta do all that?"
"Somebody has to be Yaga Baba."
"Baba Yaga?" I don't know shit about her. "Most witches have a spirit animal. Not speaking of the native term. But your spirit is an animal and they guide youl."
"Sister, that's actually what that is…"
"Hush puppy, I'm old as shit." she cracks her knuckles. "I'm just seeing how your spirit is." she looks off to the right. "Piroska! Come over here."
Piroska is this fair skinned girl with black face. I get annoyed and then she takes it off revealing she doesn't have one.
I shutter. She puts her face back on and she sounds cherry. "I'm Piroska." she introduces. "I got my daddy's lips."
"What… happened to your face?"
She shrugs. "I'm not a good daughter… so Growden was like. Tear off her face!"
"Pirsoska is black. This Gata's daughter."
"If Precious ever learns to mind her fucking business…" Piroska growls. "Precious?"
"Precious. Closwintha." says Sister Sin.
Pirsoska folds her arms. "Window pains."
"Perc…" Sister Sin glances at her. "The girl is missing memory."
"And? I have a whole missing face. Didn't nobody cry over me."
"Lord…"
"What does Closwintha have to do with this?"
"Precious might be somebody daughter… aka Shikki Bible."
