"Vannesa was carried away with the greed of dark energy. She sacrificed her own daughter in order to gain more powers." Ivy sighed

"Sacrificed?! She killed her?" I was dismayed to hear that.

"Not exactly killed but handed over her to Hecate, the Goddess of evil. Hecate claimed Vannesa's daughter and instead granted Vannesa's wish to communicate with the unlighted spirits. But by the time she realised what she did wrong, it was too late. The high priest of our Coven community was informed about her sorcery and he cursed her with eternal guilt and pain for doing such grave mistake. No matter how hard she tried to repent but her curse was never lifted. It's almost 2000 years and she's still grieving over it."

For a moment I felt like I was struck with a lightening. Indeed such angelic person can have devilish thoughts.

"I'm sure some day everything will be back to normal for her." I replied.

"Hopefully yes. Anyways let's talk about Vannesa's powers. She is a crystal witch. There are approximately 4000 supernatural crystals on this earth and Vannesa has it all. Different crystals collects different powers. Some has the power to change the creature's shape, some will make you see a vision or nightmare, a few for connecting herself with the spirits and hell hounds and again a few for locating different sacred places in this universe. Not only the crystals emit their energy but even Vannesa's body also bestow it's internal vitality. Like her there are only 9 witches/wizards that carry these abilities. She's indeed an important one to us. Now you understand? That's all about Vannesa." Ivy stretched lightly.

"One after other each one of you are so unique. Can't wait to hear about you. Jasper described you as witch of earth and soil. What are your powers?"

"I can see why Jasper mentioned you as curious beast." She laughed.

"He gets me a new pet name each day. I'm not surprised." I smirked.

"I'm an elemental witch. In other words I get my powers from the elements, i.e. earth, water, wind and fire but specially from rare herbs. My main stream focuses on modern witchcrafts that has a major portion of healing. Apart from that I'm also a powerful spell caster. Just because I'm good at healing doesn't mean it's the only thing I can do. Fortune/wealth spells, black magic spells, health spells, vengeance spells, manifestation spells and there's an never ending list. After collecting all these various elements of earth, I cast the required spell and make potions. All these potions what you have seen in hands of Jasper and Valquor were prepared by me once. I guess you already got an idea about me."

"Can I be honest here? Yours is so refined and sophisticated. Ivy, you are super cool." I raised a thumbs up to her.

"That's kind of sweet Ray. Thank you. By now you would be eager to know about what Jasper does, isn't it?"

"You know me well. So tell me what your leader can do. My ears are all yours." I pushed my hair back of my earlobe.

"Jasper is a eclectic wizard. He's a mixture of all our powers His powers are passed through the bloodline. A wizard born with magical abilities." She looked at my face.

"You mean hereditary? Then aren't you all the same? Isn't Valquor his brother? But you didn't say that he's born with powers."

"Well.... Valquor is not his own brother." Ivy walked towards the window.

Why didn't I ever realised about this when they said Jasper is unique.
