The Demon and His Griffin

The First of Many Spells

                        Silently she sat among her fellow witches of the coven led by the Ancestral Witches. Her eyes were trained ahead, sparkling with interest and mesmerized by the magic in front of the room. She absently bit her lip in anticipation as she intently watched him.

Seraphina, a senior witch a few seats in front of her tried in vain to subtly catch his attention, in hopes he would ask her to partner with him and perform magic together, and she wasn't the only one. Violet was distracted from the magic and looked in disdain at the beautiful pink haired girl. She held her breath when he moved closer, and she felt her stomach drop, sure he would pick Seraphina. She wasn't jealous, she insisted to herself, she wasn't. Just because he danced with her one time doesn't mean anything.

Her heart leapt into her chest when his gray eyes skipped right over the pink haired witch in front of her and traveled up to meet her own gold ones. He looked her up and down, a smirk playing at the edge of his lips in satisfaction.

"Violet." Her name sounded absolutely heavenly in his sultry voice. "I would like you to join me in performing some spells." He extended a gloved hand to her as he spoke. His eyes didn't leave hers as he spoke or even as she accepted, taking his hand to stand.

"I would be quite pleased to join you, Valtor." His name was like silk on her tongue, she actually had to fight herself not to purr as she said his name, and he looked quite pleased at her acceptance. His eyes seemed to burn with delight when she said his name, and she felt like she was melting from the intensity of his gaze.

He led her to the front of the room, and she caught a glimpse of Seraphina as she turned. Seraphina looked quite put out, as did many other girls, especially over by where Violet had just been sitting.

Together, the duo performed impressively. Her magic much more advanced and trained than her peers, and his magic already so powerful at his young age. She never wanted to come down from the high he was making her feel, and immediately, as they clasped their hands, skin to skin for the first spell of many, he was sure that together, nothing would ever stop them.
