CHAPTER 16

I thought of what Blanca said at the table and I remembered the little girl in my dream telling me to practice,

I don't smell like human so I think it's time I start discovering the advantage that comes with being choose by the light so here I am in cave with balance to see the trick she has in store for me.

Oh wait! What if she finds out that I am the chosen one? I want out, but it's too late to sneak out cause Oliver is right outside waiting for us.

I watched as she carried a dead rose from the ground and held it with both her hands. She closed her eye and concern treated on the rose for a few seconds and the rose bloom back to life, fresh and sweet scented.

I was astonished as I kept my mouth wide open, cool I said once she's done, I didn't think anyone aside from the queen could do magic.

It's you turn Rosaria, pick up your rose, I did and she continued, concrete on your environment, Gaia give us access to draw energy from nature, all you have to do is feel the energy from nature, listen hard, silent every other noise in your head then think of how the rose would be if it was alive and concentrate on that thought .

Draw the energy from around you and direct it to the rose using your mind.

I have been sitting in the cave since morning and this is afternoon already, I have done everything she directed and it's not working,

I silence everything else and all I feel is the cold breeze. Is the energy supposed to come from the breeze?

I don't feel anything Blanca, I said frustrated.

Be calm, take it easy. Start from your heart beat, listen to the sounds of your heart beating, concrete on the sound till all you can hear is only that sound. Then divert your mind to feel the live around you, everything green, everything alive. Feel the vibration, the energy from this cave and imagine that rose alive, direct that energy to the rose in your mind and it will work. You can do it.

I did it for the next few hours and it didn't work then Oliver walked in and said "she's useless, a liability, a nothing, let's sell her at the slave market who knows, we might make a few gold's off her.

I felt angry at his words, so angry that all I could think of was slicing him into two halves. How dare him think to sale me off. I concentrate on my anger and when I opened my eye, I saw the rose grow alive and grow thorns, the thorns kept growing in a snake like manner and went after Oliver's heart.

He was supprised at first but when he saw the thorn almost staking him, he leaped so high in the air and the thorn went through the rock stabbing it and buried deep in the rock .

Balance was astonished and looked at me with fear in her eyes.

I think anger wakes her up said Oliver.

This is bad Blanca replied, she is a white witch but her powers is saying otherwise, no white witch has ever done that, I think she is a descendant of the old, only true descendants of the old has such powers.

Wait wait wait, what do you mean descendants of the old, I asked.

The old witches, the first witches that ever walked the earth. The children of Gaia.

The two children of Gaia, Tusseia and Yaren. They were loved by the goddess and tasked with duty of protecting the balance in nature, the lived in the dark trees, the dwelling place of Gaia in joy and harmony.

One day during their early morning check of nature's balance, both goddess stumbled upon and extremely rear sight, a male human. How did he get here, this part of the forest is not usually visited by humans.

Yaren who was the most astonished fell head over heels for the human and transformed herself to a female.

The met in secret as both of them grow fund of each other till Yaren got pregnant with and the Belly grow .

Tusseia and Yaren tried to hid the pregnancy from Gaia as it was against the balance of nature, human and gods are never to mix.

But they didn't do a very good job at hiding their secret as a bird sang the news to mother earth.

She was enraged and disappointed as this abominations was caused by her very own children. She wanted to put and end to it as this child will disrupt the balance and flow of nature. But this will break her daughter's heart and she is a mother.

For once the goddess didn't know what to do, but someone must bear the consequences of the sin committed. This cannot go unpunished and the baby is innocent no matter what.

The fault is from her daughter Yaren as she knows better, but how can she punish her daughter.

Gaia decided to call a meeting and tell her children she know their secret already and someone must be punished.

Originally her punishment was to kill the father and let the mother and child be but yarens Love for her husband didn't let her accept it. She felt guilty and beged her mother to spare the human but Gaia can't punish her own child directly so she refused her plea and took away the humans life.

Heart broken, Yaren tried to resurrect her husband but the power to give life only belonged to Gaia. She tried another methods and slowly she turned to her dark side, she learned necromancy and blood magic since the power she drow from nature was not enough to give her what she wanted hence the birth of the dark witches.

Tusseia saw this and tried to stop Yaren but she was too strong and no match for her so she reported back to Gaia.

Out of anger Gaia banished Yaren out of their dwelling to the human realm where she stayed and built a fortress for her self. And with time she expand her powers and her children the supernatural all over the realm.

With time Yaren sought to destroy her mother's creation which were the humans and she used her children the supernatural as her army.

Tusseia was sent to fight Yaren but this time fortified and blessed with the powers of Gaia. They fought for ninety-nine days and night till both of them were exhausted.

Seeing this, Tusseia built the barrier to demarcate the two species, the humans one side and the supernatural the other side. But someone had to stay to maintain the barrier so Tusseia stayed back as this became her new mission. With the new powers given to her by Gaia, she could give life so she created a male and a female hence the birth of the white witches. She know that Yaren had not given up and will one day strike back so she needed an army.

Her Creation began to mate and give birth to pure blooded white witches and so her army was created but they were not as powerful as her caused she drow her powers not only from nature but from the Goddess herself.

Yaren on the other hand didn't rest, she also grow more stronger and her army also increased in number.

It is said that one-day they will fight again and that will be the end of all creation. For Gaia in rage will destroy the world and build it again purging the world of all evil and the rest.

What a tale to tell I said when she was done. And I am a descendant of the pure blood witches the old ones? Interesting I thought.

So how can I call my powers without using it to kill even though I so want to kill that moron I said pointing at Oliver who grind wickedly at me in return.
