Maya: The Witch

Mira sucked in a sharp breath beside me.

"The witch?" she repeated the words, her brows furrowing.

Lilith gave a weak nod, her body trembling as if she did not have the strength to speak.

Mira turned to me, her expression darkened. "Selene... I think she might be talking about...Maya."

I stiffened at her words. "What?" I looked at her trying to confirm if it was not a joke. Her expressions remained serious. 

The name echoed in my mind, heavy and unsettling. Maya? No, that couldn't be right.

Mira exhaled, her voice lowering. "Maya isn't just some skilled healer or a warrior like you and others assumed. She's also a witch."

The words felt foreign, somewhat impossible to believe even. My lips parted, but no sound came out. A witch? Maya?

"That doesn't make sense," I finally managed to speak.
