The First Seal

Sage POV

The reality tear screamed.

I stumbled backward as the huge rip in the air let out a sound like a thousand glass windows breaking at once. Through the jagged hole, I could see the Void - endless black nothingness that made my witch magic recoil in terror.

"Hold the circle!" I shouted to my coven sisters, but three of them were already on their knees, blood streaming from their faces. The tear was getting bigger every second, and our bond spells weren't strong enough.

"Sage!" My sister Maya grabbed my arm, her face pale with fear. "We can't seal it alone! It's too powerful!"

She was right. This reality tear was the biggest one yet - twenty feet wide and growing. Through it, I could feel the Void King's attention turning toward our world like a big eye opening in the darkness. If we couldn't seal it soon, he'd be able to send his troops through.
