Chapter 20: A witches bloodline

"Just for arguements sake Headmistress, let's say that I refuse to go through with this witch school. What would happen to me?" Solaris asked in a rebellious tone. "Well Solaris the Latter's Day Guard will be summoned to hunt down and kill you." Headmistress said in a condescending tone. "And these Latters Day Guards are pretty good at their job so to say?" Solaris asked shakily. "Ah yes my dear they happen to be the Tom Bradys of witch hunting, more or less to say." Headmistress said while chuckling. "Okay well I'll stay, but how long will I be here?" Solaris asked. "That depends my dear, on which type of witch you are." Headmistress said standing up and walking to the bookshelf on the other end of the room. "There are more than one?" Solaris asked still sitting down, but turning to face the Headmistress. "Well yes my dear there are four seperate bloodlines that branch off of our mother witches bloodline. Care to guess what those four bloodlines represent?" Headmistress asked Solaris to see if she had any wits about her. "Earth, fire, wind and water?" Solaris replied. "Hmmm, very attentive. Yes that is correct." Headmistress said with a sort of displeasure to her tone of voice.

"Ahh here we are. The heritage spell book." Headmistress said while flopping the book on the counter next to a pot that seemed to be boiling some type of green substance in it. "Come here please and we can begin." Headmistress said waving her hand for Solaris to walk over quickly. Solaris stood and walked over to the Headmistress hesitantly. "Let me see your right index finger." Headmistress said holding a diabetic finger pricker. Solaris slowly raised her hand and extended her finger and the headmistress grabbed Solaris hand and roughly pricked Solaris' finger until a red drop of blood was seen on her finger tip. "Ouch!" Solaris exclaimed even though the paid had already subsided. The headmistress pulled Solaris' hand over the green cooking pot on the table and squeezed Solaris' finger until a drop of blood splashed into the boiling pot. "Red means fire, blue means water, brown means earth and white means wind." Headmistress said and then released Solaris' hand. After a few seconds the boiling green substances in the pot stopped boiling and dissipated into nothing. Just an empty black kettle with no change and completely empty minus a red drop of blood in the bottom of the pot.

"Hmmm, that's very strange." Headmistress said still staring at the black kettle in bewilderment. "What does that mean Headmistress?" Solaris asked concerned. "That means I need to call an emergency meeting and find out what this means dear because in all my fifty seven years at this Academy and every spell book known to witch, I have never seen it do that before." Headmistress said walking back to her desk and picking up the phone and informing someone what she had just witnessed. After hanging up the phone a few seconds later a door similar to the first one she entered earlier with her counselor emerged on the wall and then a dozen women filed through quickly and all bustling loudly with talk of what Headmistress had just informed someone. "That's never happened! Impossible I say!" The first women said to another. "I said I'd have to see it with my own eyes!" Another women yelled out. The last woman that came through was a sight for sore eyes and none other than Madam Moone herself. Immediately Solaris got happy and went to yell out her name until she saw Madam Moone shake her head quickly and put her index finger to her mouth quickly indicating not to acknowledge her right now to Solaris.

"Thank you all for coming on such short and abrubt notice but as you may have heard the heritage book of spells has shown me a trick I have never seen before and was hoping one of the counselor members had some insight on the matter." Headmistress asked hope full. All at once the group started shouting out cries of this being impossible and nobody having any clue of knowing what it meant. "She's a direct descendent of our mother." Madam Moone spoke in an even tone and instantly made the room silent and turn to face her. "Excuse me Madam Moone, what did you just say?" Headmistress asked. "I said its because the girl is a direct descendent from our mother. The first witch. She carries then sacred bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdelines only child." Madam Moone said standing up so that the room heard her exact words. "That's impos-" Headmistress started to object before the entire room started silently agreeing with ohhs and ahhs.
