Ravenous Souls

Chapter 4 Future Paths

Adeline The Witch

Before taking off the mask Teresa felt a vision sting her core like an embarrassing memory washing over. She thought about a time she wet herself summoning magic for the first time. She took the mask off. Everything had happened within a matter of seconds. 

"Tell us what you saw Teresa," Imani asked. 

 Teresa felt slightly overwhelmed by how everyone surrounded her.

Teresa's vision was blurry as her mind rung like a bad headache. She brushed her dark blue bangs out her face, "I saw a man with blue hair. But it wasn't like ours it was bright blue." Teresa paused, not sure if she should continue. She thought about the vividness of the vision. It had felt like she was really there. "Other than that, I can't really say anything else. Everything was a blur to me."

She took a moment savory the name of the mask. Revelations was its name.

Adondai walked back over to the pile of treasures, "So is that something you think will be useful for you?" 

Teresa didn't hesitate to nod her head, "Yes. I definitely want to mess around with this." 

Adeline was lost in thought wondering what treasure she should take. She went back over to were Adondai threw Purgatory. 

"What are you looking for Adeline," Teresa asked. 

"Adeline scrambled searching through the treasures, "I'm confident enough in abilities but there was something I could do. And that's meditation. To hell with it." She found the necklace and immediately sat the necklace around her neck. She posed showing the necklace off, "Sorry Teresa but this definitely fits more on me."

Teresa rolled her eyes, "You're so ugly." They laughed.

Adondai clapped his hand, "Well then that settles it. From here on you girls will no longer be labeled as thieves or magicians. Today you two have become witches." 

Teresa nervously smiled as the title had seemingly fit her image, "I never thought I needed something more in my life until today." 

Adeline cringed, "I think I preferred when I was a magician."

"Soon the name will become natural. And don't think you're getting out of meditating when you're with me miss Adeline," Imani said with her hand on her hip. "What do you mean," Adeline asked concerning. "Let us leave and return to our bodies. We shall explained," Adondai responded.

After leaving the cave they returned to their bodies in the physical world. They opened their eyes back in Imani's room. Imani got up grabbing her personal journal off her desk. Imani was as documentary as Adondai. Emotions, past and future events were written out to access their choices. It was key to their leadership and authority over their actions.

"Our training is done. I've shown you what our future lies for us all and Adondai will be leaving you guys with me now." 

Adondai got up holding tightly to his satchel, "We all have our own spiritual journeys and I think it's finally time to finish mines. It's one of the reasons I say you shouldn't ignore your meditation, Adeline. But I will say the necklace will be useful to your continued training as well."

"I hear you," Adeline said waving her arm up. "I'll work on it." She got up looking at a colorful tapestry that was hung onto Imani's wooden walls. "So will we be staying here within the church," Adeline asked. 

"No fortunately Adondai had me already purchased a villa in the upper district for you guys. This is a nice stopping point for today how about you guys go check it out," Imani said crossing her arms.
