Thirteen Witches of St. Enda's Hall

Art of the Craft

"Hello and welcome all! St. Edna's has invited you here to bare witness our student performance of the Seven Ties. To honor our ancestors and properly welcome three, brilliant, new staff members to our family and coven." I could hear Lana welcoming the guests from my place at the top of the staircase.

I stood at the back of the line. We were all waiting patiently for our cue.

Kenzing was the first in line, standing by her lonesome with her head held high.

She'll be performing "Ation" covering is divination, levitation, apportation, Teleportation, ect.

Ation is used to describe powers that move through space or time.

Olydia stood behind Kenzing, in single file.

She will perform "Ing" an active power cell related to calling, cloaking, shielding, clinging, dream or time leaping, and much more.

Ing is the power house of all active abilities and usually the most common strain of magic found in a witch's DNA.
As common as a grain of sand on a beach.

Sabrina stood next in line, alone as well. She will perform "Ion" tonight.

Ion being the power house of a lot of unusually strong, mental abilities such as Premonition, Confession, Possesion, Projection, Suggestion..
It's also the base of some active powers such as Deflection, Manipulation, and many others.

Alleigh stood behind her, to the left of of Doe.

Miss Saderherring will be performing "Um" and Doe has been asked to perform "Life" to no one's surprise.

Ash stood to my left, behind Aly. She would be performing "Death" by killing a sacrifice of some sort and raising it from the dead.

"What are you going to kill?" I whispered as we were lining up.

"I'm not really sure yet.. It's much more fun not to know." She shrugged, her dry humor making me smile.

"So very charming. I'm excited to see what you come up with." I grinned.

"I know." She smirked.

"Young ladies!" Chirped the sultry voice of Doe's Aunt as she approached the bottom of the staircase. "I can't tell you how happy I am to see you all, it's been far too long."

"Thanks for coming Aunt Stella! Ori and I really appreciate the support." Doe smiled as wide as her face would allow as we all gathered around our favorite white witch.

I didn't really have a lot of family before coming to St. Edna's. The Vanheim coven : rich in culture, spirituality, magical success, and physical wealth; pretty much disbanded by the time I was born.
Auntie Stella had still been on the witches council when I arrived at the school. She came to watch over me on behalf of my father and uncle. Much like a Wicca social worker, taking personal interest in my adaptation and progress.

She told me once that she would claim me as a daughter if it weren't for Khloe.

Khloe Jane McVale, nicknamed "Doe Eyes" or just Doe; the girl who grew up rich, with famous parents.

There was hardly a charity that her parents didn't help to organize or find cause for, all the while maintaining high moral value.

However, as well and good that Doe turned out. Nothing can change the fact that her lovely parents were only pictures on her walls or faces on the television in a seemingly empty house.

It turned out that she'd never even had real friends until coming to St. Edna's. Knowing plenty of Spanish from her house keepers bonded her to our wonderful herbology specialist at the time, Syllinas.
