Over on facebook I had liked a page about crystal magick. Ever since I was little I've been interested in different stones and mother nature still amazes me what she can create. This page was run by a couple Drake and Amy. He openly called himself a war mage and she a crystal witch. Both claimed to be grey.
While we all have to
balance our soul and negative entity we can only use white or black
magick. They were also running a defence class where he taught the
techniques he uses. During a lesson I picked up on the feeling of
distrust and asked my guardian to go talk to him.
Now I didn't summon an angel. I'm no where near strong enough to do so. To be honest I don't want to have that much power because I'm scared it'll corrupt me. Understand that I can ask but he can always say no which I respect his choice. But he
chose to go.
He got rid of the
dark angel Drake had summoned a long time ago. By doing that it then allowed for
him to start healing and for his brother to come through to him. I then
opened my big mouth and told him this. Under Drake's code he sees
sending aid as an attack and then sent me an attack.
The thing that
irked me is the fact he hadn't published this code of his. How can
anyone respect it if they don't know? What if that was a kid instead of
me? He'd have killed the poor thing.
So him and Amy then publicly stated me off while trying to get support for themselves
and blocked me from both pages. While they were doing that they were
sending me attacks (came as mild but sudden headaches near my crown) and
boasting that I wouldn't last 30 seconds.So you lucky mortals get to shout, scream, etc and walk away. Witches get all that plus the psychic attacks. Once a witch's power is taken...they're mortal and it'll be their last life. They wanted my powers. They wanted to kill me.
I informed my guardian of the headaches and he traced it straight to Drake. Over
that night my guardian and a higher raked angel, who looks after both of
us, dealt with Drake and Amy. His supported had plotted an
attack
against me while my angels were dealing with them.
I traced the new
headache to them. 4 of his supporters surrounded me, used techniques
from the class, attacked me from all four angles. Thankfully
my guardian has been teaching me how to fight. I created 3 clones to
fight 3 of them while I took 1 on. It was a lot to concentrate on at one time and draining.
My swords I carry at all times on my soul and
know how to use them. I could have taken a few limbs off but thought I'd
better just leave scars instead. When they realized that sword fighting
alone wasn't going to work they started throwing fireballs at me. They
took the 2 clones out on my left and right of me and taking each other out. I
caught the one in front and threw it back; taking him out. Same with the
clone behind me; also taking them out.
Then 2 more
supporters turned up, a male and female, both felt stronger than the 4.
The female threw a jet shield at me, I threw some of my
power into it and turned it back into a monkey puzzle tree. She was a
little gob smacked at that. The other had a roman shield and sword. Man, was I thankful those were what my guardian used to train me with and that I'm quick drawing and returning my swords from their sheaths.
I automatically moved out of
the way when he shoved his shield towards me and tried stabbing me. I
blocked his sword with my right sword, moved quickly to his right side,
swung my left sword to his neck and moved the right sword to behind his
heart. At this point the council turned up and hauled us to the chambers
for an emergency trial (normally they're arranged rather than on the
spot).
On the council are a team of gods and goddesses (other beings too if they've earned it) who work together yet each of them having their own work to do. For trails a witch or witches gets called to the chambers. In between hearings we're free to carry on as normal. In front behind a long curved table sit the council (not every member sits every case so these change). The witch or witches get sat on a stool or stools in the middle. Any viewers sit by the doors.
I got asked to state what had happened and asked what I had learned. After my guardian had mentioned this was my first offence I was to be given a slap on the wrist for opening my big mouth. The 6 supporters were dragged in and I was asked if I wanted to view their trial but I declined. Thinking that was the whole thing over I instinctively went to check on Sally.
She was laid on the hotel bed. Restless but otherwise unharmed. She helped me out of a dark place, treats me with respect and love. In return I've helped her and will do so until we agree to go our separate ways. She was travelling for work but very nervous. So I had been sending her positive energy to calm her.
Someone had followed
me, but thinking it was a spirit coming to see Sally, I asked him to go
away which he did. I gave her the last of my energy I had left and
fell asleep next to her. I didn't wake up there. My guardian had sent me
back to my inner sanctum cause Drake came after me again. Both Amy and Drake were bounded and dragged to the chambers. I was put on recovery for just over a week.
I turned up for sentencing the next night. Outside the chambers, while waiting for everyone to turn up, Drake taunted me by boasting how powerful he was...when you're bound you can't do a damn thing. My guardian could have stayed to watch the case but chose to look after me instead. He does have a messenger who's been keeping him updated. Drake boasted how he was god-like...the council didn't take kindly to that and one god wiped the floor with him. Both given the choice to go white or be terminated (meaning they'd become mortal and this would be his last life).
That said, it came to light that Drake wasn't using his own powers. I had picked up on Drake's power and had said to my guardian that I wasn't sure if he was on par with my guardian or weaker. My guardian mentioned this to the council. They found out Drake's power was white but was using the powers of a black priestess.
Each witch has crystals which contain their power. I have 5 attached to my soul. 1 for each element of the pentagram. If I wanted I could give 1 to someone. The black priestess knew she was going to be terminated and put her power into a crystal and 4 other artefacts (she could have chosen anything..sword, book etc). By doing that there was a possibility of her coming back.
We
don't know how Drake had gotten hold of her crystal. Amy is a
crystal reader and knew this. She wasn't strong enough to hold her own
power and the black priestess's power but Drake was. Amy kept the
crystal hidden on her.
At that point the higher ranked angel and a few others went to fetch her. Unfortunately for her she left a trace of her essence when she came to absorb my powers during the first attack with my guardian. Stupidly she tried putting a curse on him too. So through that essence she was tracked down. This crystal then needed to be destroyed (any other objects she had put her power in would also be fetched and destroyed) by the supreme council. There's 3 councils each for white and black sides.
At the last minute
both Drake and Amy admitted ignorance in front of the supreme
council. Their sentence is starting from the beginning as white witches
with the council watching every heart beat. Meaning they'll be under my
rank (I've only been training for a few months but after being given an
angel blessing I was moved up a few ranks) and have to relearn
everything from scratch. They both have life debts (these last eternity
and they can be called to do anything the person they owe chooses) to a
few people which they'll find out
about in a few years time. Both are to have 5 mortal lives after this
one. The curse will bounce back to Amy during this lifetime. All
damage they've done to others is to be reversed. I've had the charges
against me dropped as I had exposed a serious threat and since my first fight went so well I was rewarded with a gem on my staff.
After this event my guardian became Sally's guardian too because I care so much for her. Once Drake's supporters realised that he had lost the power he once had they came to threaten both me and my guardian. Someone else I've been recently looking after by sending positive energy and protection magick is Wendy. She doesn't know that I've been doing so. I'm afraid of being attacked again for helping.
His supporters, different ones this time, had noticed I had been doing some work at Wendy's. They tried to copy her soul, much like an actor tries to become someone else, and her best friend, Flower, too. It didn't work. I had worked with Flower right at the being of my path when I was learning to astro travel. They revealed themselves eventually. 1 tried to grab me and the other started to pull a demonic sword out of it's sheath.
I tapped my staff on the floor and took us to the council chambers. No swords are allowed in the chambers. A bolt of light shoved them out of the main doors. I took a moment to chat to a few council members while they were off duty. My worry was that I wasn't good enough, that I was on the wrong path and that I felt over whelmed. They reassured me I was doing better than expected and they were proud of what I had achieved in such a short time.
It's made me more careful of who I trust, how much more training I need and the stark reality of the path I've chosen to walk. I'm glad I'm a tiger soul, a balance of extremes, the white stripes of a loving nature and the black stripes of a brave fighter.
Respect is everything.
I know this will be a challenge for readers to wrap their heads round and accept. If it makes things easier for you, then feel free to read the above as a work of fiction, an idea I've been toying in my mind for awhile.
