Pagan Witch Hunts.

Part 2

       Freya's day Continued as our normal one until half After Half Noon. (6:00 pm) Lucas and I traveled onward inland. We were going to Tollymore. The Goal was to get to the center of the forest where the Reunion was gathering. And as we had it, we arrived by Seven After Noon (5:00 pm). The Reunion was a large gathering we usually attend around the summer solstice. This solstice was on a friday, thus this one we where to summon the goddess.

       Lucas and I began to see a gathering of people. Many of them native to the area, others- nt as such. We put Kaede and Monika up with a bunch of other horses near a stream, then walked to where ever the center of the crowd would be. It took us about fifteen minutes, but we made it in one piece. In center of all the commotion, there was a large magic circle drawn, with a large bonfire in the middle. On the outskirts of the drawing, there where more circles. One for each season, and within them, more circles with the zodiac signs of each season.

       I followed Lucas throughout the drawing, being careful not to step on it, then we once again went through a crowd of people. At this point, i had no idea where he was going, or what he was looking for. All i knew is that he definitely had something he was doing and i was amissly following him.

       All of a sudden he stopped, causing me to walk into him. I backed up a step or two, and looked at the figure in front of him. The person in front of him was a bit taller than Lucas and i, but was still rather short. He had short,dull blonde hair, brown eyes, and feminine features. He wore, black plated lightweight armour. A royle. He also held a large purple, and black book. A royle of magic decent? After a brief moment of stopping Lucas spoke.

       "Leo, have you seen Henry?" He said staring him down.

        Leo stared back. "Have we met?"

        "Yes. i just grew out my bangs from lastime." he said tucking his bang behind his ear.

        Of course, Lucas would always wander off during solstice festivals.

        Leo's eyes widen a little. "Oh. you." he looked away.

         Lucas kicked up a little dirt. "So, Have you seen Henry?"

        Leo scoffed and pointed at couple perched Crows.

       Lucas Let out a dry laugh. "No, but yes. I get it. Thanks."

        Lucas Nodded to Leo, the began to walk away. I followed. The only person would know at a place like this is my cousin Louie (AKA Lucifer). I Felt as if we were walking in circles. He Just keped walking, that is until he found a spot, near a crowd of people, then turned to me.

       "Emil, why don't you go find Lucifer or something? Go summon your familiar, or go talk with a mage, just please. Don't follow me around."

        I stood there, phased, for a moment, then turned and walked off. Lucas was obviously in a strange mood tonight. So, thus i walked off. I went to a spot near a small fire. Only about two other people where there. Oddly enough they both wore similar clothes and had grey hair. One of them was smiling, looking off to the distance, the other was Staring at me. Part of me didn't blame the man that was looking at me. He looked familiar, evan thought he wore a hood, and i could barely make out facial features. Both of them had books. The one that was looking off at something held a purple book with an eye-like design on it, the other was gold with a lightning bolt on it. A Dark Mage and A Magician. Interesting.

       Eventually i pulled out a piece of folded up paper from my pocket. He watched. Why? Why me? I Unfolded the piece of paper. It still had blood on it from last time. My blood, But just a couple drops. Twas fine. Drawn on the paper was a celtic knot with a series of gaelic words around it. I ran my finger over the drawing and whispered the words that were written upon it.
