" Yes, finale I've done it, Let rivers run blood red I did it. " Silas cheered 

" Did what " 

" Finished the spell and ritual to summon the devil " 

" Then let's go get it done, what do you need " 

" Forty goats, one hundred black candles, element bowls,  lots of pomegranate, dead roses, rose and clear quartz, and all the demonic witches. " Silas spoke 

Sam ran out of the library, searching the halls for Circe. Silas gathered the books and scrolls he needed to perform the ritual. He walked to the front of the school to set up the ritual. 

" Let rivers run red as blood, colored by the devil himself. use this blood to burn my vision into the ground " 

Crimson water rushed from the forest surrounding Silas and scorched the ground. 

As the blood settled and disappeared a purple circle formed waiting to be used

As the blood settled and disappeared a purple circle formed waiting to be used. Silas waited for the rest of the ingredients he needed to arrive, which took forever.

" Miss, Silas has done it, he solved the problem and needs the school's help to summon the devil. " Sam screamed 

" Shh, boy, what does he need " Katirah responded 

" Umm, Forty goats, one hundred black candles, element bowls, lots of pomegranate, dead roses, rose and clear quartz, and all the demonic witches " 

" Ok, I'll get the demonic witches you find these ingredients, they should all be in my study here's the key " 

Katirah disappeared in a whirlpool of rose petals, her voice was heard bouncing off the walls 

" All demonic witches make your way to the front of the school, Thank you " 

Sam ran toward Katirah's office, once there he unlocked the door to her study and collected all the ingredients he needed before heading to meet up with Silas.

" Silas here's all you asked for " Sam called 

" Good, start lining the circle with the black candles and quartz " Silas voiced 

Silas placed the elemental bowls in the center filling one with as much lightning as he could muster. Once the demonic witches began to show he asked them to do the same with their elements. 

Silas connected all the demonic witches to his mind and body and began the final steps to summoning the devil. Each witch within the circle grabbed a fist full of pomegranate and dead roses throwing them to their sides they chanted 

Sceleratis, et satanas Domino corrumpere enim vocationem daemonis omnibus vobis sollicitus, a creatura intensions tenebris, interficientem virum sanctum et lucifer lux resistis nobis " 

Before they finished the witches cut the throats of the goats spilling goat blood everywhere the blood-soaked the ground saturating it. 

" Mornigstar beesche magicae tibi reducam te in sempiternum, et nos tibi serviamus, et per inferno, caelum et purgatorium " 

The blood spiraled forming a portal to hell, the spell was a success for the devil's horns began to show or so Silas thought all that they had summoned was a severed head with a single message 

" NO " 

" Damn it " Silas screamed flustered and tired 

Silas lost control over his emotions and the pint up demonic energy releasing it onto the world he caught the attention of an older more powerful and deadlier being. This being tapped into Silas's mind speaking in such a terrifying motherly tone. 

" Silas, you pray to these inferior men for strength when I could give you power they can only dream of. 

" Who are you, power radiating off your voice is one I've never felt calming but fear-inducing " Silas responded 

" All you must do to receive my gifts is voice my name " 

A flash of light enveloped Silas's eyes before he was brought back to reality 

" What happened, " Katirah asked 

" It didn't work but I have a better plan " 

Silas began to pace, he didn't know the woman's name and if he couldn't figure it out magic might be gone from the world forever. Silas unknowingly started to float lightning circling his legs. When he looked down he saw something that blessed his mind with knowledge 

Craved into the ground was a symbol he saw while searching for a spell to summon the devil. Silas focused his energy into one worldwide telepathic message. 

" Maiden, Mother, Crone, Goddess of death; night; and magic I pray to thee grant us your power Hecate " 

This message entered the minds of every witch around the world and even some humans tapped into magic in one way or another. One by one, then hundred upon hundreds of prays rushed into the sky reaching passed heaven to the very creator of every universe and dimension. 

Hecate heard these prayers and flooded the world in a new type of power one called Expression by the primordial beings. Expression was a power that allowed one to express their will onto reality. 

The last thing the witches of the world heard before their bodies rebooted was 

" Blessed be, my children "  

Darkness severed all ties from the earth to both Heaven and Hell.
