“Master, what spell are you working on this time?”
Yuwon, my servant asked me. I kept the book I was reading, down and turned to him.
“It’s something very special Yuwon. You’ll know when the time comes. For now, bring me the ingredients mentioned in this list and be specific about it. Last time you brought two cat’s whiskers when it clearly stated three. I want no more mistakes from you. Understood?”
“Yes, master. I’ll be careful”
“Good. Now go”
Yuwon bowed and walked out of the spell chamber. I picked the book again and started reading it. The book was written by my Mother before she was killed; She was one of the most powerful witches of her time. The only thing she wasn’t able to do was resurrect the demon hound, she was assassinated before she could even try.
I still remember how she came rushing into our little hut, picked me up and ran deep into the forest till we came face to face with a large cave hidden by the branches of the trees. She carried me inside and set me down on a big rock. She had tears running down her face, I asked her why was she crying but she only caressed my face and said nothing. She held my face in her hands and said “I’m so sorry my son but Mom has to go. From now on, you have to take care of yourself alone. You’re my most precious possession and my pride. Never forget that. Be the strongest of them all and never doubt yourself. I wish I could see you grow up into a strong, young man but I guess my fate is decided. I’ll forever be in your heart” with that she placed her hand on my chest and closed her eyes. I was a crying mess and begging her not to leave me when suddenly the hand placed on my chest started glowing and a bright white light surrounded me. My eyes shut down on their own accord and my head started buzzing. The only thing I felt before fainting was a feathery light touch on my forehead followed by a soft whisper of I love you.
The memory still brings tears to my eyes but what brings me relief is the fact that she wasn’t lying when she said she’ll forever be in my heart cause where her hand rested on my chest that day, now rests a beautiful Crescent moon mark. The warmth radiating from the mark always calms me down.

Since that day I’ve been practicing and learning the enchanted spells and unraveling all the dark and mystical secrets the world hides. I never hesitated pushing myself to the rough edges and like a mad man, the hunger to be the best still burns like a wildfire in me and after that day I took upon myself to fulfill my Mom’s unachieved desire.
The sound of approaching footsteps brought me back to the present and soon Yuwon made his way into the chamber with a basket full of ingredients and disheveled appearance. His physical state looked like he wrestled with a bull. He kept the basket on the mixing table, bowed down and walked out without saying a word. After he disappeared from my sight, I made my way to the mixing table to check if he brought the right ingredients or not. After checking the items twice, I sighed in relief and made a mental note to reward Yuwon on his hard work.
I kept the book in front of me and started mixing the ingredients as per the order specified in the book. With utmost precision and carefulness I continued with the procedure and after what seemed like hours a purple potion got ready. The next step of the procedure was to enchant an ischyrós spell on the potion to make it stronger. I closed my eyes and concentrated on casting the spell. I moved my hand over the potion in a circular motion and the potion started getting darker in shade. I opened my eyes to see the potion turn into a dark deep shade of purple. A satisfied smile graced my lips as the first step towards fulfilling my mom’s desire was successful. Though, the smile didn’t last long as the next step was the hardest and the most dangerous. If not done right, it could cost me my life but I’m ready to take that risk, I have nothing to lose.
Finally the second chapter is here. Thank you so much everyone for being patient. I don't even know the W of witchcraft but I tried my best so please forgive me if anything written here is wrong. Please do vote and comment. I would really like that 🤗 Again thank you so much 💞
