Legacies: The Pure Coven

Chapter 1: Can We Not Do This Today

It was a beautiful Tuesday in November and all the students had a break from their long classes due to the assembly happening that day. All the students had gathered in the school auditorium, Alaric was at his podium and he was getting ready to do his speech.

Of course, all the students knew why they were there and didn't know why they had to have a whole assembly to explain what they already knew but they were students so what could they do? They couldn't all skip the assembly (though a small amount of them did).

Chris and Naomi took their seats "I don't know why we need to be here. We already know what the hell happened." Chris snarled pulling his black afro hair.

"Period!" Naomi exclaimed, sliding her hand across her neck as if to reiterate her 'Period' statement.

"In the name of City Girls." Chris agreed.

"Why're you guys so upset?" Penelope asked, taking her seat next to Chris and crossing her legs.

"Cause I was in class with you and Josie. But now I'm in this damn auditorium." Chris snapped.

"Okay, calm down, we're still in a school." Penelope said, intertwining her fingers on her lap.

"Rigggghhhhhtttttt, right, right." Chris said.

Soon, Alaric walked to the podium.

"Hello, everyone. I'm sure you all know we're here to celebrate the end of Malivore and the heroines that brought us to this joyous day. Can we all give a big hand to Lizzie, Hope, Josie, and Naomi?" Alaric projected.

"Naomi?" Lizzie, Josie, and Hope all said in unison before getting up.

Everyone gave a round of applause as the girls walked next to the podium. They stood next to Alaric as he gave a few closing words before he let the girls speak. Lizzie stepped to the podium.

"Hello, all. I just want you all to know I am so honored to be receiving this recognition. In all honesty, I believe this right here is feminism in the flesh: four women working together to defeat the bad guy and getting the praise they deserve and need. I thank all of you for allowing me to be the heroine in this story." Lizzie monologued.

Lizzie continues talking and Naomi was beginning to get fed up as were the other two girls. Naomi politely asked Lizzie if she could speak.

"Now, my colleague would like to give you all a word." Lizzie says before walking back to the other two and letting Naomi step up to the podium.

"Long story short: we defeated Malivore and I threw a great party. Thanks for being here." Naomi explained bluntly.

Lizzie, Josie, Hope, and Naomi walk back to their seats while the audience claps.

Alaric walks back up to the podium, clears his throat, and says "Thank you for that uh, riveting explanation of the defeat of Malivore."

A silence fell over the auditorium. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop or a chuckle from Naomi which was the only thing being heard.

"Anyways, let's get down to the other reason why we're here: we have new students. As you know, since Malivore was defeated our knowledge of magical entities outside of the ones we know has grown. With that being said, one of our new students is a Phoenix which means he'll need special training. But, the other is a Wolf, Jed I assume you'll see to it that he's correctly acclimated to werewolf kind?" Alaric asked, nodding to Jed.

"Yes sir!" Jed nodded back.

"Okay, with that said, Josie and Lizzie, you already know you're giving them a tour, they're in my office. And, that's the assembly everyone, you can all go back to your classes now." Alaric declared.
