Another Bombshell.

The complex is so quiet that when a pin drops, the noise it would make would sound like a bomb blast, every single one of the righteous witches could be seen bowing down to the image of the last Ravened smith hung on the walls of the hall while some witches hummed some songs in harmony to brighten up the environment.

Freya is performing the ritual and Mia could be seen helping her out. Freya climbed up to the altar positioned in the middle of the complex with a necklace that belonged to the last Ravened smith. In order for the ritual to be completed and end up successfully something belonging to the person the ritual is being performed for is provided for the ritual.

"We are grateful for all the times you saved us, you will forever be in our hearts dear Ravened," Freya enchanted with a white candle on her left hand and the necklace on her right hand walking round the pentagram circle making a stop at the end of the circle drawn on the solid glass tiles.

"Requiescat in pace".

At the mention of that a deep gentle wind swept across the whole complex, everyone felt it. Closing her eyes while taking in a deep breath and  walking away from the altar walking towards Mia's direction.

"It is done," she said to her, smiling prettily.

"Let us all raise our heads" Freya announced to the crowds in attendance turning to their direction and they did so obediently.

"The reason we celebrate the last Ravened smith every year is because he sacrificed his own soul to the seed just to save us from the dark lord which we will forever be grateful for and that is why we celebrate him every single year. Today will stand out as another special day of celebration as we celebrate our beloved Ravened smith that saved us during the dark days by honouring this special ritual festival to him and our past witches who fought together with him, we all shall be grateful forever".

"The ritual is over, let us all serve ourselves" Freya mentioned excitedly flicking her fingers as the door leading to the entrance of the complex opened revealing some witches in with refreshments.

"Hey, you did good today dear" Natalie, head of the water witches' realm, congratulated Freya taking her hands into hers. Heads of the other righteous witches council along with their vice started to show up around Freya congratulating her on performing the ritual biddings successfully some gave her hugs while some pecked her cheeks. The one she performed last year didn't go quite successfully because Felix got invited Freya was really surprised to see him attend.

"He came only to honour the death of his brother Sam" she thought to herself it got her a little bit distracted. Mia had to be the one to take over from her to perform the ritual biddings herself. Freya had to lie to the righteous witches council that she was sick that's why she got distracted and not able to perform the ritual but only Mia knew the real reason why she couldn't do it. 

Someone tapped Freya's shoulders, interrupting the drink she held in her hand gulping down her throat. She turned around to notice it was Morgan, head of the air witches. 

Morgan took her hand into Freya's, dragging her back from the crowd to a small space she saw to have a conversation with her. Freya had no other choice than to follow along; she wondered where they were going and what was on her mind.

"What are you going to do with Gary? Head of the air witches Morgan stopped somewhere in the middle of the complex soughting an answer from Freya, He is her vice so she definitely needed to know what would happen to him.

"I'm not really sure for now but he's going to be locked up in the torture chamber for a while" Freya responded.

"For a while you mean two weeks or a month"? She kept on enquiring, desperately needing an answer. Others might see Gary as just a rude witch but he was still her vice, he has helped her out sometimes when ever she needed help so the least she could do is to at least get him released from the torture chamber.

The place is as torturing as hell, a place where powers does not work, the bars of the Chambers were confined heavily with restriction magic spells by the last righteous witches council who ruled back in those days preventing the use of powers totally. The Chambers also makes the person inside the Chambers really weak and tired so no one likes being sent there.

"I don't know Morgan yet, but I'm going to pay him a visit when the ritual festival is over. Freya replied giving her an assuring look that says "don't worry I'm not going to leave him in there to rot".

"Okay, I'm really sorry for the way he behaves whenever he's around you he's not always like that just when he's worked up so please do let him go soon" Morgan pleaded to Freya in defense of her vice head Gary.

"I heard you already Morgan, you have nothing to worry about".

"Thank you Freya".

"You are welcome". Freya mentioned going back to where the others were.

"What were you both talking about?" Mia queried Freya after she noticed the little discussion she had with Morgan a while ago.

"It's about Gary".

"What about Gary"? Mia continued asking, wondering what Morgan said to Freya about Gary.

"She wants me to release him sooner than later".

"What are you going to do with him?" Mia kept on pressing about Gary.

"First of all I'm going to pay him a visit when this ritual festival is over, we are going to have a small conversation and I will inquire from him the real reason he hates me". Freya told Mia.

"Do you think he's going to want to talk about that". Mia asked Freya again.

"I have to try".

"I do have this bad feeling about Gary that feels like he's planning something evil. Mia mentioned to Freya who looked at her with an unpleasant look.

"He can't do anything, though we have got to keep an eye on him currently he's in the torture Chambers, What's the worst he can do anyways? Freya assured Mia, smiling happily. If she knew she really wouldn't have said those last words.

Someone came running into the complex seriously hurt on his right arm supporting it with his left hand to prevent more blood gushing out. It was the righteous messenger Cory, everyone looked at him dazed. He went up to Freya giving her a message she clearly didn't like.

"The seed is missing" He announced to her if Mia wasn't nearby Freya would have landed on the solid floor made of tiles due to the news she received right now.

"Gary escaped too". He dropped another bombshell.
