I couldn’t believe it when I heard that I was a witch, I wish I could beat Lyla up, why will she say that I should look for the answer myself, does she know that I don’t know anything that has to do with witches.

I was still contemplating when I felt a tug in my arm, I looked up to behold Alpha Adrian eyes on me.

“You’re done reading??” He asked

I nodded my head as we left the library together, I looked at the guards face and noticed the relief on their faces, only the moon goddess knows how many times their hearts have died. Staying close to Alpha Adrian was a ticking time bomb.

I looked at Alpha Adrian and I saw that his face was unreadable. I did not know what was going through his mind and I was too terrified to ask him, don’t get me wrong, I’m not so free with him to ask personal questions.

His personal guards reported something to him and I noticed that his expression changed. A dark aura was oozing out of him, he left my presence immediately without saying anything.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I wondered what the new development was, anyways, since he did not bother to share, I will not be digging my grave by asking questions that are unrelated to me.

In order not to attract attention, I disguised myself and went into the public library. Although I’m the Alpha’s favourite, Not many wolves were happy with the decisions made by Alpha Adrian and I love my life.

I entered the library and went into the wizardry section, the books on wizardry were not much, I realized that this particular gift was rare. The book I saw was not much.

I sat down on the chair and opened the book to read

“The practice of magic is called wizardry”.

I was already getting more curious on this subject because learning on wizardry can be a direct link to witches.

The next page made my enthusiasm go down because it was a blank page.

“Seriously!!” I pondered myself.

I heard a loud chuckle and I knew Lyla was at it again, I could not be bothered by her as I closed the book.

“Witches are in two forms” Lyla began.

I took a deep breath as I heard what she had to say.

“The black witches and the white witches”

“The black witches were used for war, they had a spirit animal which could be an assistant to them in terms of war, while white witches do not have a spirit animal, it only comes in rare cases ”

There was peace and quietness as I thought that it was all that there is to knowing about witches.

“Witches could be traced to centuries ago, at that period, witches were seen as divine beings, they were the ones who could freely communicate with divinity. Witches were being sought out both in times of war and peace”

“They were known as the messenger of the gods”.

She said.

“At that period of time there was no good and evil as all witches were pure, the criteria of becoming a witch back then was having a pure heart ”

The whole information in which I got was so confusing, I was pondering on this existence which I deemed complicated. A deep sigh was heard.

“Wow!! You really can think deep” Lyla said.

“All good things must come to an end, as centuries passed by, corruption entered the world as many witches used their powers to commit evil, the moon goddess was not happy that such was taken place so she gave such gift to selected group of people”

I was getting more intrigued about the story. Lyla chuckled, she continued.

“This did not stop the wolves from contacting such gifts the other way around, this created a division among the witches ”

“The black witches – known as the rebels

The white witches – known as the one blessed by the moon goddess”

I was already beginning to feel a lot of pain in my head as a result of the information that I have received. Although this does not stop me from acquiring more information on this existence.

“Don’t you ever get tired ” Lyla said

I rolled my eyes hearing her statement, if there’s anything I’m good of, it’s in the act of listening and paying rapt attention.

Although I was listening to what Lyla had said, I wondered which position that Lyla was before she fell “asleep”, from the way she sounded, she could be a good teacher.

The other thing that amazes me was how Lyla could be able to read my mind, I wish I was able to block her from reading my mind

“It’s not possible,” I heard a reply.

I knew where it was coming out from as I could not be bothered on the reply she gave me.

She continued.

“White witches have many gifts, one of them was the ability of a seer”

Lyla paused for a while

“The other??” I asked

“I can’t remember”. She said

Great we are back to where we started. Not bothering to know my countenance or the state of my mind, she continued.

“Although the black and white witches are two different entities with two different agendas on their own, they share the same elements”

“Which is??” I asked

“Never knew that you were this inquisitive” she said.

This is not the right time to ponder on words, I needed to be ready to absorb the information which would come next.

“The elements are in two forms” she said

“Conjuring: This has to do with bringing forth a particular thing out of nothing, conjurers could be considered as the creators because they create things.

In times past, conjurers could be seen in broken and desolate lands as they could bring forth life even in the deepest form of darkness.

Conjuring is only the beginning stage of a witch, Conjurers had to be at the crimson stage before taking a step to move out to battles, in time past, conjurers could be seen all over the continent as it was not something that it could cause men attraction for.

Manipulating: This is another stage of a witch, manipulators deal with controlling the mind. Manipulators have a way of controlling your mind to do their will, this was another dangerous stage.

A man with a pure heart can be changed to a heartless demon when he comes across a witch who’s a manipulator, similarly the strength of a manipulative witch determines the potency of the magic when it’s been cast on someone.”

“Stop already” I said as my head was already in deep pains as a result of excess information.

“As you wish, my lady” Lyla said as she kept mute.

I placed my head on the table and rest. Today has been a long day.
