Mystic Magic

Aiden's POV

im a witch. my family are witches and we have been since the some of the first pilgrimages to the new world. im thirteen and heir to the Vascal family fortune. im not your average kid with my iridescent silver eyes and my shaggy, black hair which flops around my face.

"Aiden! hurry up we dont want to be late to the Gathering!" that would be my mum, Alaina, she is an older female version of me with her long black hair and her creamy skin, but she has bright green eyes that seem to have a permanent mischevious glint in them. 

"Coming Mother!!" i slip on my white shirt that is specifically for Gatherings. the silk floats airily around my chest and i can only compare it to wearing a layer of mist or wind. i dash down three flights of stairs through the living room and into the foyer to see my mom in a full out make out session with pops.  

"EWWWW! WAIT UNTIL YOUR IN YOUR OWN ROOM!" i shreik sending a seperation spell spinning they way. their bodies are tugged apart and my pops handsome features scowl at me. i get my eerie silver eyes from my father, Rowan. he has tan skin and has blonde hair that is in a superman style.

"Son just cause you are Marked and can use magic outside of a circle doesnt mean you can just cast anytime you want"

You are probably wondering what the hell a Marked person is well let en explain. a Marked person is a child who is born with marks that allow them powers without having to cast a circle. mine is in the shape of the Orlanthi Rune for spirit. 

"i know pops but i dont want to see you and mum in a  full out snogging fest!" 

he laughed as he winked at my mom and slapped her butt as she walked out the door. ugh, this is what i get for having parents who still look 19.  

We walked out of the house and headed towards the woods that surround our house. Mum and Pops look like spirits floating through the many plants we have growing in the yard. Mum laughs as dad activates a wisp light and little balls of light start to dance around our bodies. we enter the forest and make our way down the well worn path to the clearing a mile or so from the house.

The clearing is probably the coolest place ever. it used to have some kind of large stone building that has been reclaimed by nature. pillars circle the clearing with ivy crawling up the sides. kids run around constantly running around your feet and the teens usually stand off to the side. the adults mingle and chat while they keep a close eye on the children that seem to have gathered around a large toad. uh oh i think someone was trying to practice magic. see to save time we carve the circles and runes into necklaces or small flat rocks or pieces of wood then when in a pinch where it would take to long time to actually draw a circle you can just pop out one of these suckers say your words of power and BAM!

one of the kids must have gotten ahold of a transformation rune and turned another kid into a frog. Mum sees this and walks over pops out a undo rune and throws it at the frog right after it leaves her hand she says "Magnada!" the rune glows and then turns to dust in a flash of light. in the frogs place is a whimpering little boy. he runs to his mum across the clearing and hugs her leg. my mum decides to scold the children by having a vine come up and spank each one lightly as she says "Children, Magic is not something to be played with. If you dont know what your doing dont do it at all" they all lower their heads in shame and mumble yes ma'ams.

I walk on over to my friends Loren and Kai. Loren is a short and slim girl. She is tan with a dash of freckles accros her nose. Also with her sleek waves of blonde hair bobbing around her neck and her mischevious green eyes make her look like she is about to set you on fire and run away laughing....which actually sounds like something she would do.... 

Kai is tall and muscular, he has brown hair that always looks like he just woke up.  He has icy blue eyes and is fairly tan.  personality wise he is the furthest thing from Loren.  While Kai is serious and dark Loren is bubbly and bright.

"Aiden!!" Loren screeches as she flings herself at me and tackles me to the ground. she then continues to nuzzle my chest and tell me how i dont spend enough time with her....she was just at my house yesterday. Kai gives me his signature blank face and his casual wave, but i can see that he is happy to see me by the glint in his eye.

"you didnt have to tackle me you fat whore" i mumble as i slowly get up and dust myself off.

"what did you just call me!" she gives me the look saying i dare you say it again! 

"oh nothing i just called you fat whore" i grin mischeviously. 

"what why come here you little brat in gonna castrate you!!" 

i start running around the clearing screaming my head off while she chases after claws extended screaming how mutilated my lower region will be once she catches me. Kai just smirks and watches us with an amused expression. Most people just ignore us as they have come to have gotten used to Lorens rather violent personality.  

when the Gathering begins the coolest part yet happens. The forest around us grows to create a dome over us leaving gaps in the ceiling for moonlight to seep through. Then the adults gather together and chant "aman comga rutek mithri vasel makagi faeya!"  

As they chant little winged men and women start to appear. they all carry intruments, some having flutes, some having fiddles, a few had guitars and drums. they begin to play this enchanting music that is happy and sad and exhilirating and yet calming all at the same time. 

we start to dance moving our bodies in time with the music and just letting our spirits be free. letting ourselves become one with the music and opening ourselves up to the nature and the magic around us. We all are weaving in and around each other. the adults stop chanting and join the dance. 

when the music finally stops and the fae fade back into the forest. we all face eachother and say "Blessed Be!" 

i have been dancing nonstop for six hours and i am strangely content and very relaxed. Mum and Pops start to walk off and Mum waves at me to come on. then she turns and waves Kai and Loren to come on too. Kai and Loren smile at eachother before dashing over to us. Loren giggles about how she wants to get her nails done and go all out sleep over mode. i shut that down fairly quickly. i told them that i am going to bed and so are they because i know they wont let me get any sleep without them. they pout but give in because im the boss lol! gosh i love my friends!

i wake up in the morning with Loren in my arms nuzzling my neck. she is drooling and its totally grossing me out! i push here away and wipe her drool on her face. hehehehehe she deserves it! then i notice that Kai is sleeping right next to me with his arms wrapped around me. Kai is like my brother any other dude holding me like this i would sock them in the face but with kai....well its just....different.  

i slip out of Kai's arms and wak out of my room. i cast a little spell to brush my teeth abd wash my hair as i head to the kitchen on my floor. i walk in and start cooking some chocolate and biscuits. it is the most delicious thing....EVER! If i do say so myself lol. i make the chocolate from cratch and stick it on he stovetop to heat up while the biscuits are in the oven. then i make pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes yummmmm. i decide to let them cook themselves while i finish freshening up. i run to the bathroom and rinse out my hair. i just love the feeling of my long hair after i wash the conditioner out! i towel my hair off and then go back to the kitchen.
