MYSTIC WORLD

Find The Receiver

Michael had hidden himself behind the big status the entire time, even tho I told him to stay inside the prophecy room,  but he was stubborn as a goat, he followed me anyway.

He might not know how he was to protect me, but he knew he had to. Michael did not truly understand the role and responsibilities of being a Receiver, and to be honest, neither am I, but what he knew was that he was supposed to be by my side, no matter what. But he also knew I was right, the battle would be lost the minute the enemy had leverage.

Joel and Joanna were about to enter the house of prophecy when Moloch in Gilbert's body voice stopped them.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my land?"

Joel turned back and saw Gorge Gilbert. "We mean no harm, my lord." He said with respect, knowing with the way he dressed and spoke, he must be someone important in the town and he knew it advisable not to piss him off. "We are but a stranger in your land. We are just passing through."

"Then you better be on your way then," Gilbert replied, almost like a treat.

"Absolutely," Joel said and turned to his army. "Let's go. There's nothing for us here." He said with his hand up and his finger signaling to his soldiers.

Gorge folded his hands looking at them as they moved out and his eyes changed to red. "Joel Abner, welcome to my land." He laughed wickedly his eyes glowing like a wild animal.

                             ***

The witches gathered themselves together and Moloch told them to meet him at dawn. Anna had told them that Moloch walked among them like a human in Gorge Gilbert's body. What Anna could not understand was how that was possible.

Moloch could not possess just any vessel, It must be a prepared body. Why Gorge Gilbert? Anna thought to herself.

They all knew he wasn't a good man.  Gilbert was worse than witches. He was selfish, devilish, bitter, and cruel.

She knew that couldn't be the only reason why he chose his body, it must be more than that.

What Anna was trying to figure out in her mind was; why now, what changes? If he could possess him, why haven't he done it long ago? What brought Moloch down? Who is this new witch that Michael was connected with? 

The thought filled Anna Garrett's head.

It takes a bloodline of very powerful witches or someone who has split the blood of many innocents to fit for Moloch. The only bloodline powerful enough to be Moloch's vessel was Clara Benedict. And they don't give birth to a male child in their lineage. How could Moloch possess Gorge's body?

—Was it temporary?

Suddenly, thunder struck, and Moloch appeared in front of them.

They all bow down to him and raise with their hands folded to the back and their head down.

"I know you have questions about how I can appear in front of you without your help." They glanced at one another and without speaking bowed their heads again. "I am only here temporarily. This vessel is still weak, he's not ready yet...

—Yet?

"But I need to address all of you for you all to know the importance of this mission."

I'm right, something big was going on, for Moloch to come to them himself. It has to be this new witch in town. Anna said to herself.

"An opportunity has presented itself. I know some of you have heard of the Doomsday arriving in the land of Salam.
    And yes, none of you is powerful enough to bring her down.

"But fear not, for your lord is here to help you. I will give you all that you need to bring her down, but first; She is wearing something very important to me, and I need you to get it for me.
    On her ugly finger rests a ring that belongs to me. And I need you all to get it."

Anna began to wonder within herself, if the ring was easy to get, Moloch would not need us. After all, without our help he found his way to Gorge Gilbert's body, why can't he just take that ring himself?

"I will grant whosoever that brings me this ring in the next 24 hours the power over time."

They all glanced at one another:

Power over time has always been a craving for every dark magic witch. It enables them to stop aging, they can take anyone's memory away as they please, and also turn the hand of time, — with that kind of power, they would become god and immorality shall be theirs. 

"To get this witch with the ring, " Moloch continues. " I don't know if you all know your prophecy but I do. Thanks to our new visitors, I was able to find out what she was up to.
   There's one called the Receiver!" Anna raised her head in fear. Knowing Moloch might have found out about Michael. "Find him and you will find her."

—Or maybe he hasn't.

"How can we find him, we don't know who that is?" Sylvia asked and bowed her head again.

"We have visitors. In case you have not noticed. They followed our little witch from Mystic World to SALAM. I will need all of you to work together with them. Find out everything they know and use it to find this Receiver."

Anna became fearful, at that moment, all she could think of was her son, and all the power and being the leader of the town meant nothing to her anymore. She just wants to see her son and warn him. She could care less about what Moloch might do to her if he found out the Receiver was her son.

I need to do something, Anna said to herself. Even if it means losing my head. I must protect my son.

Anna watches as Moloch walks away, "It's time to make the enemy of my enemy my friend!"
