33. The Witch Men

When Adam did speak and ordered his men to relieve from being armed, he had spoken outrightly and openly without conditions that may seem to his men that he was a puppet by the witch.

"That's it. We're done here!" Edith said too aloud.

"Yes, let's go!" Frederick backed him up calling to Adam with the gesture from his hand only that they should leave the temple and go their way.

But Adam had not taken a step forward as they hoped.

"C'mon pussy, Let's go!" Edith said again seeing that Adam did not say anything further or act in motion to his word. He just remained like a tree.

At this moment, Kitara looked at Adam and held his hands. He also looked at her with admiration and obedience as they both walked down the stairs and kissed each other at his men's presence and the presence of the rest of the witches.

This, the witches of livee did not blink the tiniest surprise but the Vam hunters were nothing but a total shock.

The atmosphere was of quietness until the witches began to applaud the moment.

When the witches of this Livee need to applaud, they do that contrary to how the normal people would. They thudded their feet upon the ground in a fast manner and these noises occupied the whole of the temple until they ushered upon themselves silence.

Kitara at the moment withdrew her mouth from Adam's. She also let go of his hand which she held before and gestured.

"It is the time!" She said,

Kitara walked back into the private chamber and began to sing the song of ritual. In this fashion, every other witch in the temple joined her in the melody as they began to form a queue which was moving ahead into the private chamber slowly.

Adam's men were also of no difference. Though they did not join in singing the song with them, they had been curious to know what was about to happen so they also joined the queue behind the last witch.

Immediately the last of the Vam hunters entered the private chamber, and the door by itself slammed behind him. There was panic within him and the one at his front, but they will not display any sign of fear. They will only be strong and find out about what is about to happen.

Adam stood next to Kitara at the priestess position where some sort of drawing in the circle pointed to. Adam was followed by two of the red-heads and the rest of the witches. On the other side were the three red-heads followed by the rest of the witches.

Adam's men were only the ones who did not stand anywhere closer to the altar of circle and its burning candles. Neither did they remove their shoes as the witches and Adam had done.

Edith continued to stare at Adam. Something was off about him. However, he could not detect what it was.

In the same way, he gossiped with Frederick and Barnabas but they saw nothing wrong with him. He was Adam and verily, he was hale and hearty.

Or is it that he was only thinking about this too much? Edith relieved himself from staring at Adam and hawked his eyes around the whole of the private chamber.

He could see the red and black curtain which covered up the walls and the smoke stain which clouded the whole of the room.

He could see some daggers on the table at the rear end of the room and though the room had been large, it would be easily called empty.

Suddenly, Kitara began to chant in a foreign language and the rest of the witches were of the same strength as her.

At this moment, they all opened their eyes and the blue iris was missing.

Their eyes looked as if they were blind and they began to hold each other by the hand.

This did not mean Adam's eyes also changed because Adam was the only one in the circle whose eyes still remained shut but he held hands with them.

[Great goddess, come among us and override those who seek them to die. Great goddess, you have preserved your daughters since ages and now they shall pick the sword. Great goddess send down your fire and let it warm us and make us strong for the purpose]

Immediately as they all chanted those foreign words repeatedly nine times, they held a sudden quietness and not even their breath made a sound.

"What the hell?" Edith said when he saw black smoke coming out from Kitara's vagina and the rest of the witches at the altar of circle knelt down even when their eyes still faded and tender their palms forward to receive the smoke.

The black smoke upon each of the hands crawled around it and slowly entered into their skin from their nose and from their ear and the mighty breeze now befell the room and everything began to wave.

But no matter how strong the wave of the wind was, it was not enough to quench the fire and again the witches began to chorus in a foreign language including Adam as he was now also walking around the circle with witches slowly.

"Is he?" Frederick asked in a whisper without completing his words

Even though not a single one of the Vam hunters answered him, it was obvious that he was speaking in the same tongue as the witches and in the same manner as them.

They wonder how he got to know this language and also how he knew exactly what he was to do next as each time, in the same speed and fashion, Adam had taken the same step as Kitara and the rest of the witches.

"Fuck it!" Federick said,

When he said this, he shot his leg forward hoping that he could leave the room that easily since what he was seeing irritated him. But at the instant he got to the door and tried to push it, his eyes became all white as the rest of the witches and though unconsciously, he had walked slowly to join them at the altar of circle.
