Uncharted Territory

Chapter 21: Training

3 months later...

"Alright Adeline. I want you to conjure up a soldier, you can make an army out of them. I hope you never have to." Amethyst chuckled sipping on her lemonade. 

I smiled and twisted my hand, until a rock came pummeling out of the ground. Laughing I touched the rock softly, it shook before a hard soldier came into view. They didn't have faces. 

"What do they do exactly?" I asked watching the stoney figure. 

"Well, in times that you need them the most, they can help you kill things and stuff. But, it's pretty easy to kill them. You just have to swing something at it." She babbled. 

All these 3 months I have learned from Amethyst who I later learned is actually an ancient witch, not known to the witches council as she hates everyone on it. She is a spontaneous character, but she means well. 

After I arrived I realized really quickly that she liked to stay isolated, not admitting many people to come onto her land, it was rare that she would even have someone stay at her house. 

"You know Adeline, I think you're ready to go back. But, I will need to see your other side. I know I haven't taught you how to conjure her, but I need to make sure that you can handle her, she should be weakened by now." She explained. I nodded stiffly, conjuring her was the last thing I wanted to do, especially after what happened. 

"Don't worry Adeline, she can't harm me." Amethyst said, trying to calm me down. 

"What happens when I leave here and she comes back?" I asked nervously. These past months, she hasn't shown up, not once. 

"I think in times of need, you might actually need to use her. She is extremely powerful, but knowing how to control her is the most important thing. If persuaded, she might want to help you." She explained putting her drink down. I nodded and shook my shoulder. Calm down. 

"Alright Adeline, call to her." She said standing a few yards from me. 

"How?" I asked. 

"Use your head. You'll know." She explained. Crunching my eyes I concentrated. Use my head? What?

"Um... hi. Is there anyone in there?" I called out in my head. Hearing my own unconscious call me stupid I tried again. 

"Hello? Can you come out now?" I asked. A chuckle rang in my head and I gasped as the image of a woman formed in my head. 

"You finally need me Adeline?" She sneered. Trying not to be scared, I called out to her again. 

"Look, I think we should work together. And um rule the world together." I said, I knew she'd like the sound of that. 

"Oooh, I like the sound of that child. But, I need something in return." She commented her figure slowly starting to emerge in my mind. 

"What do you need?" I asked. 

"I need you to kill that werewolf, burn his limbs. Before throwing him off a cliff, so I can watch him fall, and die." She smirked. Wow descriptive much. 

Trying to hold back my anger I mentally nodded. I was never going to do that Kayden, and she knew that. 

"Fine, anything else?" I asked. 

"Nope." She said and turned around. I felt fire burn through my entire being as my vision went white. She was taking over. 

Shaking violently my clothing changed as well as my hair, I stood in front of Amethyst in my other form. 

"Wow..." She commented walking over to us. Stepping back slightly she sneered. 

"Stay away witch. What did you do to me?!" She screamed attempting to throw something her way.
