Seraphic sorcery

{CH-5} The reason

"I know what I'm about to say is over whelming-" he rambled on.

"shut the fuck up. start speaking logically already" Giselle snapped.

"ooh~ feisty" he teased."there was this guy Ælfric. He was the leader of the other side of the world.The earth has a hidden realm.That realm consists of mythical creatures which you read in fantasy books.witches,wizards,gnomes,elves ,you name it. One day,Ælfric suddenly decided to transform a human into a witch.Which is you obviously." 

Giselle gasped at the new knowledge.

Mark smiles hearing her.

"why?" Giselle asked him out of curiosity.

"now that,is unknown" Mark replied."After he chose you for whatever reason,he just vanished. Now,I had to come find you to find out all the hidden secrets with Ælfric" He explained.

"Was Ælfric a witch too?" Giselle questioned.

"uhh yeah he was.we call male witches warlocks or wizards." He informed her.

"so you are a warlock too?" she wondered.

Mark nods forgetting  that they're calling each other online and not talking face to face."Yeah" he answers quickly composing himself.

"what about you?  family and friends? how long have you been on earth?" Giselle curiously bombards him with question

" About that .... I've been on earth for a year. That's when I joined this school remember? and for friends and family.My family is dead.I  have a couple friends in the other realm " Mark answered.

"I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have asked" Giselle quickly apologized.

Mark melted at her compassionate gesture."No it's OK" he says  trying to sound nonchalant.

Giselle saw through his act but decided to not pull the issue further to prevent upsetting him."are you comfortable with telling how?  It's completely OK if you're not too" Giselle asked.

"Well...it's a long story. I was born as an only child so no siblings.My mom and my dad were the only family I ever had.When Ælfric vanished,they were chosen to become the next leader. People were upset with the choice and tried many different ways to prove to everyone that they were incapable.Then, a war occurred between the witches and a vicious creature.It emerged out of nowhere.now we have books about the war FYI.As they were the leaders,they took control and tried defeating the vile monster. that led to them dying in the war".

By the time Mark finished,Giselle's face was streaming with tears."Are you OK?" Mark asked.

"Yeah I am. What was the  monster though?" Giselle reassured him while wiping the tears that had settled on her face.

"The monster has been described in many books like I've just already told you.It is supposedly large,black in color and has red creepy eyes.There are many rumors about it too.Some people reported that they saw the same in their dreams. We call it the Brobdingnagian behemoth.I had to look through the dictionary to find out what these words mean at first lol. " Mark answered

"That's a weird name lol.It means gigantic monster right?" Giselle cogitated.

"Yeah,it does!" he replied.

"Well,good night then Mark.I'm tired as fuck right now.bye?" Giselle yawned.

"k,good night"Mark repeated and hung up.

Both of them slept with various different things swirling and whirling in their heads
