Chereads / The Secret Coven of Magus / Chapter 24 - Central Park

Chapter 24 - Central Park

(Quincy) I wonder who made this, the light magic symbol. (Kristen) Yeah, obviously Magus made the dark magic symbol. (Alex) Where's Aarion? (Air) Here. (Harmony) Wow, you look terrible. (Air) Well, what do you expect? I have no magic and I can't even talk to Magus anymore. (Aiyana) So we won't be able to do the spell? (Air) No we can do the spell. I have the dark magic symbol memorized. The dark magic symbol is a circle with a star in it. And the light magic symbol is a star without it being in a circle. (Alex) Thanks I guess.

(Few minutes later) (Harmony) Okay, we're ready. Aarion get between the two circles. And the rest is up to Alex. (Alex) Why me? (Harmony) Does it matter? (Alex) Y- yes. (Harmony) Because I said so that's why. (Alex) Whatever. Obscuri et leves colliduntur et concilium convocant. (The dark and light magic symbol ignites and five ghostly humans appear)

(Esme) Well this is rare. We haven't got summoned in a thousand years. (Esther) Yes, if I'm correct lots of witches doesn't know of us anymore and our wisdom. (Uranel) It's probably because they haven't felt the power of Uranel Westbrook. (Kristen) Wait, who are you? (Qanor) We're the first coven of witches and the council. Even with death we're still the council. (Noris) Why have you summoned us? Our sprits need resting so hurry it up.

(Aiyana) So our friend Aarion got his magic took out of him with light magic and he had pure dark magic because of him being the grandson of Magus. We need to know how or if we can get his magic back. (Uranel) Speaking of Magus, where is he? (Esme) Yeah, eighteen years ago he suddenly disappeared. (Aarion) He went into my mind. (Esther) I do feel another sprit inside him, a faint sprit. (Aarion) When she took my magic Magus also left my mind and body.

(Qanor) Okay, I'm gonna assume your Aarion give me all your friends names. Last name too. (Aarion) Uh, Alexander Westbrook, Aiyana Jamison, Harmony Grant, Quincy Walker, Kristen Thomas, and Jaden McPhee. Jaden's a werewolf so he's not apart of the coven but he's a friend. (Qanor) Okay, and who was the girl that attacked you? (Aarion) If memory serves me right her name is Trinity Bickel. (Esme) What? The Bickels are still alive. Esther- (Esther) I wouldn't know a reason for her to take his magic. If he's the grandson of Magus it should be hard but she must have remembered a spell in my grimore. (Uranel) When Magus finds out and which he will, he'll be furious.

(Alex) Wait, how do you know the girl. (Esther) Well, they know of her I know her. She was my first and favorite pupil. All magic she knows is the magic I know. She was the firstborn of Margarita Bickel a powerful witch. Even more powerful then the creator of magic. I did a favor for the Bickels and it was also something I did because of anger. I turned them into vampires using the tree of heaven. But I could never transform my pupil into something I didn't even know was possible. So I only did her six siblings and her dad. Wood, blood, and sunlight was used to create the original vampires. Seven to be exact.

(Aiyana) Why did you turn them into vampires? (Esther) Simple. They wanted a way to live forever. But they did not know of the consequences. They would burn in sunlight, couldn't walk in people houses without being invited. Vervain the plant that was on the tree of heaven would weaken them. And finally we found out that a stake from the tree of heaven can kill them. Other than that the original vampires are immortal. For others well, they are not.

(Qanor) Yes, fascinating story. Now can we help you get your magic back that's a… yes. It just might hurt and take a while, but you can get your magic back. (Esme) Yes, but do us one favor and we'll tell you how you can get it back. (Aarion) Yeah, anything. (Esme) Right now you have the power of your ancestors including your parents. But you don't have our magic. By giving you are magic we will make you six the new council an healthy and alive council of magic. You will have the responsibility of protecting and putting order to the magic world. When we give you our magic all witches will have a mind shock of who you are and what's your title. Will you six be responsible and take the responsibility of protecting the magic world and keeping it in order? (Harmony) Yeah, we will.

(Qanor) Good. Now, there should be a old witch at the bottom of the St. Patrick's Cathedral. She will know how you can get your magic back. (Esme) And wolf here's a tip. Go to Central Park. Under the lake there should be a door. With that you can be a alpha and not an omega. (Uranel) Now when we vanish you'll have our magic. (Aiyana) Wait, things doesn't add up. Like I thought my biological mother name was Esme. And Harmony's were Esther. (Esther) Seems like they were juniors. Bye! (Noris) Our sprits needs rest. (They all disappear) (Alex) I feel it. (Harmony) Magic. (Jaden) Wait where's Aarion?

(Air) Hello? Hello? Hello! Is anyone here? Right, they said the bottom of the cathedral.

(Aarion tries to open a door but it's lock) This would be a great time to have magic. Well, no biggie. (Aarion puts his hand in his pocket and pulls a hair pin out) Good thing I have this. (With the hair pin he unlocks the door and opens it) Stairs how delightful.

(Thirty seconds later he's in the basement of the cathedral. He walks around and step on leaves. He squats down and moves the leave and sees a door) A door on the floor? How funny. (He opens the door and climbs down the ladder)

(Tash) And you are? (Air) A man in need of something. The council of magic told me to come here- (Tash) Yes, yes I know. I've been informed. (The witch opens a case with bracelets) (Air) Why are they all clear? (Tash) You'll see. Now I've been informed that your magic has been taken away. When a witch or your case a warlock's magic is taken they either are stripped of their magic and will not get it back or became a vampire. Paul who I'm glad you defeated, destroyed these bracelets in anger. Why: he would strip people of their magic but they would get it back. With these bracelets. They were made to give magic back but I should tell you more about it. First it only jump starts your magic and after that your magic should be coming back rushing to you. Second The beads give you magic. There is twenty in all. When a bead shatters that means it's giving you power internally. Third you can only shatter the beads by using magic. Fourth when your last bead shatters it will be painful. Your arm will burn but I doubt you won't withstand the pain. Fifth the bracelet will never some off even if you want it to. It will only come off when your last bead shatters.

Now, let me see your hand. (The witch pulls out a knife) (Air) What's that for? (Tash) You need to link your blood with the bracelet. A blood link. Just know I might take a lot of blood. (Air holds his hands out and the witch cuts his hand and put his hand over a bowl) You can heal that yourself right? (Air) No magic. But I'll be fine. (Tash) Sure you will your Magus' grandson. (The witch grabs a bracelet out of the box and she place it in the bowl and uses a stick to spin it around. She grabs the bracelet out of the bowl and hands it to Air) The blood link is complete. Put that on and you'll have magic. (Air puts the bracelet on his wrist and it starts to burn but stops ten seconds later) Now leave this place. (Air) Sure. I got my magic back.

(Harmony) We'll leave in five. It gets dark fast today. (Aiyana) Plus today Central Park is closing early for some reason. (Jaden) Good. It won't be crowded. Alex, you going? (Alex) Nah, I'll stay. (Kristen) You're gonna be all alone. (Alex) Fine.

(Air) Now time to test it out. (Air searches the car for paper and finds some) Charta in papilio. (The paper turns into a butterfly) Yes! I have it back. (His phone rings) Oh, Leah. Hello. (Leah over the phone) So you know how we had did the dirty the other day. The next day my monthly started it was late but I didn't worry about it. I also took the pregnancy test today and I'm pregnant. With your baby.

(Harmony) So the bottom of the lake? (Alex) I really don't feel like using magic for that long. And Jaden and Harmony can't use magic. Unbelievable. (Harmony) It's not my fault that Grant witches can't do magic when they're pregnant. (Kristen) It's irrelevant. You two have me, Alex, Aiyana, and Quincy. More than enough magic for you too. (All of them holds hands) Respirare underwater. (Aiyana) Now, we can go under. Harmony your going in your clothes? (Harmony) Didn't feel like changing.

(The all dive in the lake and swim deep as they can and the stop on the floor of the lake. Quincy sees a chain and pulls it. A hatch opens and they quickly goes inside due to the spell wearing off)

(Kristen) What is this place? It looks like a hideout. (Alex) It had to be owned to someone dead. See how dusty it is? Spider webs. And the smell. No one probably hasn't been here for a century. (Aiyana) Yeah, it smells like a dead body… (Quincy) It's coming from that door. It reeks that way.

(They walk over to the door and Jaden twist the door knob) (Jaden) It's locked. Spelled I think. (Aiyana) Aperta. (The door chimes and clicks. Jaden opens the door and when they walk inside they all gasp) Are these… (Kristen) I- it's a graveyard. It's about twenty body's in here. (Harmony) There all bones know. (Alex) Look at that. (They look at containers that has liquid in it and can hold humans) (Quincy) I think they're alive. (Jaden) Yeah, they're breathing. (Harmony) It's about twenty of them. The things they wear. It looks very old. (Aiyana) It looks like things Native Americans used to wear four hundred years ago.

(Alex) We need to get them out. (Kristen) Over there. It's a control center. (Aiyana) This can be four hundred years old. Back then it wasn't a lot of technology. (Alex) It is. The technology looks very old. And it seems like it was built as a secret. (Alex press a button and pulls a lever. The liquid starts to drain and the containers opens) (Jaden) The smell… (Harmony) What? (Jaden) The smell of the twenty people that was in the container. They smell like me in my wolf form. I think- (Alex) Right here it says "whoever finds this just know that the wolves will need an alpha if I am dead when they awake." (Jaden) Remember when a vampire said that wolves weren't in Manhattan in four hundred years? I think we found the remaining wolves.
