Chereads / The Secret Coven of Magus / Chapter 31 - Ah, The Story

Chapter 31 - Ah, The Story

Kids were playing around a fire. And all of the kids were in robe-like clothing. "Magus. Go play with your friends." Josephine said. Magus turns around and sees his mother. "Come on, Magus. We're going hunting." Noris said. Josephine eyes widen. "Sorry Noris but I just remembered that Magus need to help me with something. He'll come as soon as he can." Josephine said. Noris nods and goes into the woods with the rest of his friends to go hunting. Josephine takes Magus' his hand and they walk inside of their home.

"I need your help with a spell. It's to locate your father." Josephine says walking around a boiling cauldron. "Okay, but can you tell me the story, mom?" Magus asked. Josephine sighs. "Ah, the story. When I was young I studied nature. The way plants grow, how rain and snow works, how wind blows and how the planet just works all together. Then later in those studies I started to levitate things, I could start fires and all sorts of things. I called it magic. Magic is the energy within our bodies, our emotions and most of all, nature. I met your father two years after I first used magic. It was true love I tell you. We settled in this village and had you. But he left to find his parents and he never been back since. Now I have to find him. And I need your help because magic is your birthright so you're more powerful then me. Also with your magic I'll get a result faster. Now let's do the spell." Josephine said.

They crossed their hands over and holds each other's hands over the cauldron. They start to chant words but gets interrupted by yells of help. "Magus, go check on that. I'll just have to do it without you." Josephine stated. Magus nods and gets up to leave. He runs into the woods where the yells were coming from. He saw his friends hovering over Esme. "The wolf. It hurt her." Esther said with tears in her eyes. "I need you guys to go get help. Now!" Magus said. The rest of the group "Don't worry Esme, I'll help you." Magus said. Magus started to hover his hands over Esme's wound and his eyes turned black and her wound disappeared. "Wait! Come back."

"Well?" Josephine asked as Magus walks inside of their small wooded home. "It was just some wolves mother." Magus replied. Magus starts to walk over to his bed but falls in front of it. Josephine quickly stops doing what she's doing and rush over to Magus. Magus held his hand on his on his stomach as he twist and turns in pain. Josephine lifted up his shirt to see the problem and a big scratch was on his stomach and black markings surrounded the scratch. "You used black magic?!" Josephine yelled loudly at Magus. She helped him onto his bed and she rushed over to a box of potions. "Drink this." She said passing it over to him. As soon as he's done drinking it he falls to sleep.

"Come on. Wake up!" A girl shouted. Magus opens his eyes. "Esme. What is it?" Magus asked. Esme looked older then before he went to sleep. "It's the full moon. Come on we have to do the ritual while everyone is sleeping." Esme exclaimed. She speeded over to the door and left out and Magus followed her. They ran across the dirt path and passed the small wooded houses with straw roofs. Magus smiled brightly as he chases Esme into the Forrest. "Come on Magus, we don't want the other to wait!" Esme yelled happily. With that being said, Magus runs faster and runs behind Esme and picks her up. She squeals.

"Magus, we're gonna wake everyone." Esme said. Magus kisses her. "Guys, we should be doing the thing right?" Quanor suggested. Magus and Esme turns around and sees their friend and continued walking deeper within the forest. The three of them walked mysteriously into the forest. There was a fire and the rest of their friends were surrounding the fire naked.

Magus, Esme and Quanor removed their clothing and got in the circle with the others surrounding "Why are we naked?" Esther grumbled. "The heat from the fire will lather you and lather makes it less painful. The clothing will scratch and itch you until you end up killing yourself cause of the intensity. I studied this spell many of times." Magus stated. Uranel walked over to Magus with a stone bowl and blade. Uranel holds the bowl for Magus as he cuts his palm and blood drips into the bowl. When the bowl is full Magus cut healed and steamed as it did. He took the bowl. Esme walks over to him and drinks the blood out of the bowl. Esther then did it second. Quanor, Noris then Uranel. They all return to their spots of when they made the circle. "Cum sanguine meo in sex alios, ligata corda ligavit, sanguinem ligatum do eis magicam. Ulcus sanguis, cutis pruriat, infernum senties, potentia concipies prolem potentem tunc erit novissimus, nunc his ultimis verbis magicae naturam non vinces." Magus spoke these words and his eyes turn black and they all fall onto the ground.

Magus opens his eyes. He quickly stood up and he looked at his clothing. They were the same before all of this happened. He then slowly looked up enraged. "Aarion!" He yelled infuriatingly into the pitch of darkness surrounding him. "Come out you bastard! How dare you insult me with this futile spell?!" Again, Magus yelled into the darkness. "Although it wasn't futile." Aarion said. He appears behind Magus. "The invasion spell definitely worked. I saw your memory. How the first coven was created. I saw. I'm pretty sure that was enough time for my friends to leave. My family." Aarion snickered. "Shut up! Take me out. Take me out! Pull me the fuck out of the spell right now!" Magus demanded.

"Don't you fucking dare tell me to do something when you're tryna kill my child. My friends, the people I call family you want to kill them. So don't ask shit from me cause you don't deserve it. Why do you want the power anyway?" Aarion ranted. "It's a desire. It'll quench my thirst for magic. And it'll help me get rid of humanity and the flaws that god made them with. I want the power to destroy and reconstruct in a flawless image. So wake me my grandson." Magus said calmly. Aarion chuckles. "Your wish is my command."
