CHAPTER 29

We returned back to our bodies and curious as I was, I wasn't about to let Blanca sleep without me asking a few questions.

Can other creatures see us when we dream walk?

No, we become spirits , but since we are not dead, if we make a sound we can be heard, so when ever you dream walk, make sure to be quite. Dream walking as good as it may sound is also dangerous, when your spirit leaves your body, you become defenseless and open to attack, walking in the spirit world is dangerous it's self. There are most spirits roaming around without a body and looking for a body to possess so if they find you and possess your body, you get stocked up in the spirit world and might never returned unless you find another body to possess. But the longer you stay there, you begin to loos touch with the real world and then no one can hear you anymore.you die, but u are not entirely dead.

in fact, the best time to catch a witch is when he or she dream walks. That is why most witches choose to never dream walk and only use dream walk as a final resort in any case.

I kept quiet and listen to her as she explained the dangers of dream walking. Is there a way I can protect my physical body when dream walking? I asked

Didn't you listen to anything I said? You find a cave or make sure that the people or person watching over your physical body is a trusted accompliance or you get kicked out of your own body by a spirit or killed by a foe in a disguise of friendship . Never dream walk where you don't feel safe.

Can a dark witch also dream walk?

No they can't. Dream walking is a trait only a white witch possess. Dark witches have tinted their magic with blood of the innocent and sold their soul to the goddess Yaren. She is their queen and they worship her as their goddess and as you know Yaren is no longer the goddess favorite. So they can't.

Dark witches were once white witches, we have it in us. The darkness. When we want something or when we are hurt and need revenge, we become power hungry and tap into our dark side, we get too far by the power our dark side gives us and seek more, there is this desire in us that is never filled, like a pitch black pit with no cover, we strive to fill that out with powers and become stronger so that we become superior to other creatures.

Once we start feeling like we are better than every creatures and we should be at the top of the food chain, that's the end. No going back cause we will always crave for things beyond our reach and in the efforts of reaching them, we tint our very own pure magic gotten from nature with blood. This act alone throws things off the natural balance of life. The very balance the first witches were tasked to protect and uphold.

Sometimes, pain makes us do things we shouldn't do but ones ability to endure is not always long. We may snap and break in the process of endurance and when we have had enough. We tap into our very own dark desires and fullfil our heart desires.

I kept quiet and listen to her explanations. I understand now and I try not to blem all the dark witches, it's just like have two person in one body and of course the darkness will always tempt you and it takes a lot of self restraint to not give into your own desires.

Why do you want to leave? Blanca suddenly asked me but she was looking straight into the candle. I don't know how to respond to her, I can't tell her the truth and I can't lie either. She has been so kind to me right from day one and it will hurt me so much if I can't be the least honest with her. So I kept quiet and didn't respond.

I understand that Oliver is a real prick at times but he ain't that bad, I have been through some shits myself and compared to all, I will say Oliver is the only person that has given me a reason to keep living and keep fighting in this shithole realm.

I was born in Riveryn, the home of the white witches. It's the only place I knew peace and, my home. The whole village is always bussing with work and lively with the children running around and those that came of age learning their magic. We were peaceful people, we were harmless. Our priestest, the most powerful witch I had ever know, her magic was old and rooted deep in the earth. She protected us with her life and powers. She used her magic to create a barrier surrounding the village and as a price she linked her life force to the village.

In the past we have been attacked by the dark witches plenty of times and the barrier has always protected us. We fought from inside and we always win. But not this time.

I was thirteen when it happened. The night the white witches almost went extinct. I was out on the tree enjoying the cold night breeze and talking to the moon. In the bright light of the moon I noticed them, the dark witches, they had come back in great numbers and ready to attack us again.

I ran down and raced back to my house to inform my parents. And so my parents went to inform the priestest, I tagged along and when we got to the priestest, she was down on the ground and blood running down her mouth as though a river.

The dark witches had gotten to her already. I don't know how. My father and mother placed bother their hands on her and tried to heal her but all their efforts proved abortive.

My dad instructed my mum to inform the whole village and so we did.

We need to evacuate the village before the priestest took her final breath for with her gone the barrier will dissolve. But there was not much time so we decided to stand and fight back with everything we had.
