      It has been days. And finally, finally. The Bless Day is here. It's the  mid-evening and everyone gather all around. Children of all kinds are playing. Men and women talk among each others as they get along at such a blissful day. The youngest kids run around the flower batch. Gathering them up. Allowing the teens to make crowns for boys and girls. Some of them braid their hairs with the flowers. Creating a beautiful texture.

      The whole land at which we assign for the witches has been groom all week. Those who had the magic to set the stage did their part. The exterior of most houses design for the wakening bliss. Lights and soon stars will shadow around us when the dark hits. The land blooms of an annual Bless Day. Cheers, laughter, food, music, fun and more is seen and heard. This was my first time attending these. As a kid. I look out the window wishing I walk with my people. To celebrate. And now, now I lead them.

      The apple wood smell smokes in the air. The cook pork and sorts of meat is being made. Along with varies of premade meals from everyone. Witches and werewolves both coexist here today. And it will be finalize soon enough.

      "Is the ground prep for the bloom?" Sister Gal ask.

      I nod gracefully. "It is."

      Aside picking the right spot. Not only does the land have to be cleanse. But the soil needs to be fresh and pure for the tree. It will not thrive. And since there has been years of blood, war, and death here already. A deep soul cleansing was much needed. Now the grass is a nice bright lime green. Ready to be planted.

      "In just a few.."

      "Sisters Sisters. Hear me. This can't be. It's wrong, it's blasphemy. The Ancestors won't allo.." Cherry yells in far distances from us.

      The three of us turn our heads. I scowl hard as annoy and furious I am. I couldn't believe she would do this now. In front of the Sisters.

      I wind my hand up. Stopping her. Her eyes widen. Body frozen in time. My hand clench a bit as I put pressure on her whole body. "This is a sacred day. Do not embarrass yourself or us."

      "We. Don't. Co. Exist. Ancestors. Wrongful." Gasping each word.

      "You are ashamed. You have opinions. We discuss this before." I hale a breath to clam myself from doing harm. "Go home Cherry. You don't have to be part of this. Don't cause another strike among me again. I warn you last time."

      "Liv.. shouldn't .."

      "Go home!" I shouted. I let her go. Dropping her inches back. She held her body as tears well up in her eyes. Thank Goddess she listen and wobble back to her old shoe home.

      I fix my composure to the Sisters. Apologizing on behalf of Cherry. "She has strong opinions. She choose to come for a fresh start. This is normal for her."

      "No apologies Sister." Sister Paige says in a grin.

      "We are very aware of Cherry's case. She's on thin ice. She should be please you helped her. But do not allow her to disrespect you among peer people." Sister Gal explains.

      "She will just continue this. Sister Cherry won't go far. Not unless she makes some changes." Both Sisters nod. Giving me their approval on Cherry's wild behavior.

      "Yes Sisters."

      "We will begin. And I believe the first welcoming will be you. You started this. You are a well respected member of our community. I believe the first bloom shall come from you Sister Liv." She explains.
