The next day,
Now, a young girl with chestnut hair was with Brazam. They were in a room that could more accurately be called a library. The older man invited Alexa to sit in a long chair. In front of them was a table with books, crystals, and strange cards.
“Miss Alexa. I want to see the natural talent you were born with. Before teaching magick, you must know the basics. Now, give me both your hands,” said the High Priest politely.
“Okay,” Alexa said obediently. She held out both palms as directed by her interlocutor.
The old man placed both palms over the girl’s hands, chanting, “O, De Magia, apprezianth urentzh tranekh. Trointhotzh arethz dazielth varezinthz sortzh!” [1]
A light appeared from Brazam’s palm as soon as possible, resulting in a vision that only the one-hundred-and-seventy-five-year-old man understood. Meanwhile, that hazel-eyed girl was surprised to witness the unusual sight of a red-colored light emanating from the High Priest.
What kind of light is it? Why can’t I even see it? Is everything I see really real? I hope it is not a bad sign because I do not want anything out of control or bad to happen, Alexa thought.
I have understood what the unique abilities of Goddess Magia’s envoys are. If that was the way, then it was worth doing. Miss Alexa can use wandless magic and teleport and even outwit enemies. There is already power in this girl’s mouth, so it should be further strengthened, especially when casting spells. Okay, message well received, thought Brazam, who had long been the leader of the witches.
The High Priest, without further ado, stopped what he was doing so that the light disappeared from the white-skinned girl’s hands. The teenage girl waited, already curious about the results Brazam had seen.
“Miss, I will teach you spells, teleportation, and all the things learned in the wizarding world. Have you ever experienced casting a spell, and it worked?” the blue-eyed old man asked.
“Yes, I have done it before. I cursed a girl because she tried to set my bedroom door on fire. Shortly after, her body caught fire, and she turned to ash,” Alexa answered honestly.
“Really? When did that happen?” Brazam was intrigued.
If that incident happened like what Miss Alexa said, then it was fantastic. The Chosen One was able to curse, and it happened right away, so that is an excellent sign for us. It is no mistake that Goddess Magia gave her such incredible power so that girl will have no trouble, Brazam thought, amazed.
“I really mean it. I just did that yesterday, but it was unintentional,” Alexa replied bluntly.
“Who was cursed by Miss?” Brazam asked back, as she was very curious.
“One of the children at the orphanage, her name was Odessa,” Alexa answered truthfully. The first daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira, remembered her rival’s face, who constantly bullied her at the orphanage.
“What did the perpetrator do to incur the curse?”
“At that moment, Odessa set the bedroom door on fire because she did not want me to live there anymore. That girl always threw tantrums and angered me, so I cursed her spontaneously.”
“What happened after the bully was cursed?”
“Odessa’s body caught fire immediately, as the fire appeared on its own. The torch she was carrying fell on the floor, but it did burn the floor, and soon she turned to ash. It happened so fast.”
The High Priest was speechless, not expecting that Alexa, who was still a teenager, could do such a thing.
This girl could instantly perform a curse; surprisingly, it came true as soon as possible. Miss Alexa is different from ordinary witches, who have to wait a little longer. But I should still teach her about effective spells, potions, and everything Goddess Magia asks for, thought Brazam, who was pleased with the magical abilities possessed by the opposite sex.
“Before the curse, did anything happen beforehand? I mean, did Miss Alexa feel any strange air?” Brazam asked further to the interlocutor.
“I did not have time to feel anything because I was so emotional. When I arrived at the room area, I saw that the door was set on fire by Odessa, so I spontaneously said ‘die’ to the perpetrator,” replied Alexa, who still remembered the horrific event.
“Yes. If it is based on what I have seen and Miss’s story, then the spells will be taught faster. However, before that, we will go to the shrine room to ask for a blessing from Goddess Magia so that all the magick taught will be absorbed one hundred percent,” suggested the High Priest, who was greeted with a nod.
Brazam and Alexa then stood up and left the place. The one hundred and seventy-five-year-old man walked in front as if showing the way while the young lady walked behind. The intelligent girl wondered what ritual to perform. Once they got there, the High Priest opened the door and walked into the room, as did the special guest who had come and stayed at the temple since yesterday. The two of them approached the statue of the three-faced woman with a weapon in each hand.
Brazam walked towards the altar, where there was a cooper bowl with a wide rim. It was a container of incense, which the faithful had to replace twice a day in order to worship the Goddess Magia. After taking the object, that older man began to chant. “Haztionitzh luroth!” [2]
The fire came out from there, and smoke began to appear. That twelve-year-old virgin was still watching, not knowing about the ritual performed by the blue-eyed man. Brazam walked around the statue, raising and lowering the copper bowl with a wide rim to it. His lips continued to cast a spell known only to him.
Once done, the incense holder was directed to the front center of the image three times and placed at the feet of the Goddess. “O De Magia, Brazam etzhraitozh atroiztdakh, eztrioum devastrox totrianetz zetramutnz ezvaurtz. Alexa froidionth glefrazthun crewuthnz levozth!” [3]
Alexa felt a strange sensation, which happened after the High Priest cast the spell. Her whole body felt electrified, so the sensation felt by the girl was even more vital, as if something was pushing out from there. Meanwhile, Brazam felt a different yet familiar air.
Goddess Magia is here. What should I do? Usually, she will give me instructions. Let me wait for a moment, he thought.
“Argh!” screeched the hazel-eyed girl.
“Do not look back, Brazam. This is my business!” A mystical voice rang out. The man heard clearly and understood that the Goddess of the witches spoke, so he could only obey.
“Yes, Goddess,” the High Priest said.
Alexa’s screams of pain were clearly audible as if she was being deliberately tortured in the shrine room. The older man did not dare to move for fear of unwanted things happening, especially if he violated what the Queen of Witchcraft had ordered.
