Regan stared at the cadle, still in disbelief of how she was going to make things float using her mind. She shook her head."See? Nothing happened."Seraphina smiled, "You need to believe in yourself and think that you can do it."The girl rolled her eyes knowing that she wasn't gifted with such ability.Seraphina took her hand and held it towards the candle. She closed her eyes and the candle suddenly floated from the table, like there was zero gravity. Regan looked dumbfounded, assuming that this wasn't her doing after all. The wise woman released her hand and the candle was still floating.Regan became a little panicked as she snapped her hands down, and the candle fell on the floor."Seraphina this was your magic, not mine." She said with a sad look."No, it's yours. I just helped a bit in the start, you were the one who made the candle fall. Come on, try it again with something else.Regan, growing bored with the numerous repetitive attempts, sighed, "I don't really have any power."Seraphina chuckled softly, "Patience, my dear. Mastery of such abilities takes time. Let's try again. Clear your mind and focus on the candle."Regan reluctantly gave it another shot, concentrating on a small pillow. Despite her initial skepticism, she felt a subtle connection to the object. The pillow wavered slightly, lifting off the bed for a brief moment before dropping back down."That's it, you're getting the hang of it, it's all about attuning your thoughts with the energy around you." Seraphina encouraged.Regan felt an excitement raising through her. She still couldn't believe that she would be able to learn these abilities and then challenge ahead.Meanwhile, Vesper and her sisters were in Sirius's chamber. Vesper had told her sisters the matter about Regan and both of them took it as a better cause to provoke even more mayhem and chaos. They looked at him, as he wandered around with his mirror in hand, being overly drawn in whatever he was looking at. Vesper, sensing that Allegra and Circe were on the verge to do something mischievous, broke the silence."So? I thought we were going to talk about some intruder named Finn." Vesper said, her voice dripping with annoyance but she didn't even got the slightest of his attention.Upon noticing, Allegra and Circe smirked at each other, "He doesn't even care about what you say." Allegra said mischievously as she crossed her arms.Vesper, angered and trying to prove her sisters wrong, approached the sorcerer quickly and snatched his mirror from his hands, slamming it on the carpet. It didn't break though."Hey, are you even listening? You called us here and now you keep getting distracted," Vesper sneered, clenching her jaw. The other witches watched her with a wary eyes, fearing how he may react."I'm not getting distracted," he snapped sternly, his gaze on the thrown mirror. "The matter is about Finn. He was in my command but Vlad discovered that he was an infiltrated pawn of lord Magnus, my enemy. Therefore, Finn is being kept in the dungeon, for interrogation and for the secrets he hid-""My lord, speaking of secrets, why isn't Regan kept underground and subjected to the same treatment as Finn?" Circe asked a mischievous glint in her eyes.Allegra added with a playful smile, "After all, if she's our enemy, shouldn't we be extracting information from her?"Circe leaned closer to Allegra, whispering, "Maybe he has a soft spot for her. The way he watches her through that magical mirror says it all."Vesper's expression darkened, her jealousy evident, "What the hell are you both rambling about?"Sirius's jaw clenched. He knew they were rambling something about him, but he remained stoic, "I observe her for strategic reasons. She's a great enemy and a threat, nothing more." He said, his face blank as an unwritten paper. He couldn't stand it."Oh, my lord come on. Since when have you been so interested in your enemies? They come and go after all." Allegra scoffed.He shifted from his place, grabbing the mirror from the floor, then wiping it crystal clean using a napkin, "My ladies, you all already know who Regan is. She's not like....the others." He solemnly said."Yes, she's not. She's part of something big." Circe nudged Allegra."Part of our sorcerer's fate." Allegra whispered back mischievously.Vesper tried to control her fury as she heard her sisters words."Enough." Sirius raised his hand to the sisters direction, his patience running on a thin line, "Stop this nonsense already. You have better things to do. Go and keep an eye on Finn's girlfriend!" He sternly ordered.Allegra and Circe threw playful glaces to each other, enjoying his reaction and Vesper's at the same time, "But why are you so pressed?" Allegra fueled on."I don't think that Finn's girlfriend is really a matter to us, perhaps why I feel you're trying to avoid us?" Vesper finally spoke, her voice dangerously furious.The sorcerer, knowing that this melodrama would continue, ran a hand through his hair and sat on his throne."Perhaps you all need a little boost." He said and his lips curled upwards."Boost for what?" Allegra said curiously, leaning in."A little power, my dear Allegra. Especially for you." He said as his hand glowed in a blue flame and he washed it over Allegra.Allegra felt a sudden surge of magical energy coursing through her. She blinked in surprise, "What did you do?"Sirius smirked, "Just a small enhancement. Now, go and focus on your assigned task without causing unnecessary chaos.""Why her?" Vesper raved, her eyes burning with fire as she saw Allegra's smug."Because I said so." He said, a hint of authority.Circe, intrigued, leaned closer to Sirius, "And what about me? Do I get a magical boost too?""Yes, you too." He said, his expression blank. He waved his hand at Circe and she felt something strange coursing through her veins."Wow....""Alright. Now, go." He said, his hand on his forehead.The sisters exchanged satisfied glances, leaving Sirius and Vesper in tense silence."You're swimming in dark waters, Sirius." Vesper said, her expression darkened."I've always had, my dear.""Be careful of what you might find there." Said she, her voice low and warning as her face betrayed her untold jealousy.She exited the chamber and stormed inside her sisters' chamber. Her rage was so extended that she didn't know where to throw it first."What the hell did you both think you were saying back there?!" Vesper shouted to her sisters, her face red."Dear sis, chill out. We were just joking. But you're to cold to get it anyway." Allegra said, her voice dripping with tease."Joking?! What was there to joke about! Look there you fools, you think that Sirius gives a damn about you, just because he gives you a little of his power!" Vesper said, furiously as her hands glowed on her electrical aura, ready to strike."Admit it Vesper, you're just jealous. Sirius never paid attention to you, anyway." Allegra fueled her even more.Instead of using her magic, Vesper launched herself at the blonde and tried to hit her. Allegra, agile and quick, dodged Vesper's attacks and retaliated with a surge of energy that sent Vesper stumbling backward. Circe, attempting to mediate, found herself caught between the conflicting forces."You really think you're all that Allegra? You're just an attention whore!""I'm not a moron like you at least!""Enough, both of you!" Circe shouted, trying to physically separate her feuding sisters. However, the magical tempest showed no signs of abating.Vesper, with a furious expression, retorted, "She started it! Always trying to outshine everyone!"Allegra, smirking, responded, "Oh please, Vesper, you're just upset because Sirius doesn't even spare you a second glance."As the verbal and magical exchanges intensified, Circe's frustration grew. Finally, summoning all her magical strength, she created a barrier between the warring sisters."Stop this madness!" Circe pleaded, her voice echoing in the chamber. "We're better than this. Are we going to fight just because of a guy? We're sisters, bound by blood and magic. Don't let jealousy tear us apart."Vesper backed away a bit and she put her hands on her face, trying to steady herself, while Allegra seated on the ottoman, her burning gaze wandering to Circe and the blue haired one."Yes, you're right. We're sisters. The problem is, Regan." Vesper said.Circe sighed and she sat on a chair. As her silver eyes gleaned with malice, she said, "Regan is becoming a nuisance. We can't let her interfere with our plans. It's time we take matters into our own hands."Vesper, still seething with jealousy, sneered, "She's nothing but an obstacle. If it weren't for her, we would have Sirius entirely under our control.""So? Why don't we make her regret stepping into our world? We'll show her the consequences of crossing the three of us."Circe smirked, "We're going to have some fun with her. First we'll find her weaknesses and then we'll strik-""I know each of her weaknesses, it's pretty easy torment her." Vesper interrupted with a wicked grin and self satisfaction."Great! We aren't going to spoil this to Sirius." Circe said."There's no way he's going to find out!" Allegra added.Each one of them smiled evilly at each other, as they had outlined their plan.***"Your lesson for today is finished," The mentor said and got up from the ancient chair, "I'll come again tomorrow.""But I don't think I learnt anything." Regan replied, clueless and embarrassed. Seraphina had taught her about telekinesis and the use of her fire powers but Regan didn't quite grasp in entirely. It seemed confusing theoretically and practically. Although what Seraphina did all along, was relating magic with science.Seraphina smiled gently, "You should practice yourself. Remember what I told you. Here's the tome. There are the instructions and the knowledge. Don't give it to anyone." Seraphina said as she left another book on the table, that one carved with words in an unknown language."Take care, child." The wise sorceress said as she reassured Regan. Then, she opened the tall entrance door and disappeared into the shadows.
