Celeste: feathers white roses and sunflowers Book 1

Chapter 6

                  "What! No! This is my mother! "

Celeste said in protest while she shows Azazel a photograph from the album.

"No, that is your grandmother. This is your mother and father; they were killed by the force. Before they were killed your mother casted a spell to wipe your grandmother's and your memories and wiped their existence to protect you. Your grandmother did not remember your mother and raised you as her own and without magic. Your grandmother agreed it was the right thing to do and your grandmother and mother transferred their powers to you and suppressed your gifts that caused a barrier of protection. The closer it got to your thirty fifth birthday your powers started to release from their holding and that is how I was able to find you. If I was able to find you that means the force is on their way to find you and that's why I tell you need to be more careful!"

Azazel said emphasizing the risk.

"So are you saying my whole life has been a lie!"

Celeste yells with tears in her eyes.

"Your life was protected."

Azazel tries to console Celeste.

"You're a powerful Inyanga, Shaman, Priestess and Wiccan and you inherited that magic from your ancestors."

Azazel explains.

"So, you are telling me not only am I mixed in ethnicities, but I'm also mixed with different magical .... powers. I do not know about this!"

Celeste said trying to comprehend. Celeste closed her eyes and reached her hand out towards the door while a bottle of merlot traveled from downstairs and floated in her hand. She pops the cork out of the bottle, chugs a portion of the wine and sees Azazel looking at her.

"What! I do not have a drinking problem; I am just a tad stressed

out right now okay!"

Celeste snaps. Putting the bottle down, Celeste then picks up the book that read 'Grimoire' and opens it which is still blank.

"Say the words again. Say the spell to reveal the pages."

Azazel informs her.

"Khombisa imfihlo yakho efihlekile."

Celeste chants while moving her hand over the cover and again a warm luminating light escapes from the book. Celeste flips through the pages and found dried plants taped to some pages and what seemed to be recipes throughout the book.

"What are these?"

Celeste questions Azazel.

"This is your spell book, and these are spells and remedies that you can use."

Said Azazel. Putting down the Grimoire, Celeste picks up the last book and chants the spell again but without Azazel telling her what to say. The light that came from the book was a different light and the feeling was different also coming from out the pages, this light projected an aura of light pink and an emotion of love. It was so overwhelming and consuming that it made Celeste choke up on emotions and brought tears to Celeste's eyes. Opening the book and turning to the first page, Celeste places one of her hands over her mouth the same time a gasp leaved her lips.

Dear Maiko,

My Love. Happy Birthday. My name is Amara and I am your mother, your father's name is Kafele and we both love you so much. If you are reading this, we had passed away and you have obtained your powers again. We did not want to leave you or erase your grandmother's or your memories, but it was best. I know mama took very good care of you because she did with me. You are a very special woman and I really wish I were there to meet you and see you grow up before my eyes. I know that you had grown into a beautiful, intelligent and well-rounded woman. Right now, I am picturing that I have the most beautiful, gorgeous grandchildren ever and someone who loves you dearly as much or more than your father loves me is in your life. But things outside of our controlling took our time from each other, took our moments and took your father's and my lives. And now you are in danger again but because your grandmother and I transferred our powers to you I pray you will be better prepared. Our bloodline is very valuable, powerful and most desired for producing more magic to the world.
