They want something in return for them to submit, huh? Very clever. 


I keep cracking my brain para lang may maisip kahit ilang segundo palang ang nakakalipas. Having an impromptu negotiation are quite hard I must say.


"Information," Dia butted. "I will give you information and in exchange, you'll submit yourselves to us."


"What extraordinary information do you have for us to submit?" the Priestess asked.


"A book," Dia answered. "A special book of spell that our mother created. A book that is beyond preparations and magic."


"Dia," my voice is alarming with a mix of worries. Neither Deis and I can't have even a glimpse of that book, how can she...


"Oh, god," I spouted. I anticipate whatever I'm thinking is incorrect. Please.


"Our offer is much important than all witch submitting on us," Dia said. "Hanggat hindi namin nakukuha ang resulta ng plano namin, up until the very end all witches should submit. My mother's book is much important rather than your lives and even yours High Priestess. Realtalk."


"Badass, bitch." Deis blunted and release a few giggles.


My siblings are quite impatient but reliable at some times. 


"Well then, let's have our agreement," the Priestess agreed. "Blood agreement."


We started waking in front of the stage where there is a large gold cup. The High Priestess started to cut its left palm and the blood starts to rush down the cup. Dia reaches the cup first, next is Deis and I'm the last. After cutting our palms, which is very not my type, the gold cup starts mixing our blood and make a candle.


"This candle will serve as our contract. We agreed on the terms you wanted but we have also our limits. I will start to lit this up when the party of your child started. From what I'm seeing, your plans will start at this meaningful event."


This quick-witted hag really knows how to play my game. Without saying her terms, she cuts her palm. Brilliant!

Inside this limousine after buying some clothes for the party, the atmosphere is heavy and I burst into laughter. "Where are we going to find the fucking book, sister?" I asked.


"I don't understand her brain, brother," Deis said between his giggles. "We can't even touch or even have a glimpse of that damn book. It feels like t'was invisible. You need a full moon to see the whole of the book, that's what I've heard from father. How are we going to get hold of that book? Wait for the full moon?"


"I did," Dia answered with a calm voice. "I...I saw it. I've touched it. I have it."
