Chapter 17(Witch)

A witch is a title that has to be achieved by walking a unique path and is different for every race. But can be chosen by anyone.

As one must be aware that mana is like an essential particle that makes up literally everything and connects everything. Even emotions can be channeled with the use of mana and the beings that call themselves witches walk on the path where they cultivate their own chosen emotion.

And through these channeled emotions witch gain their title like Witch of Greed means she invest in the emotion of Greed but being a human witch is more difficult as humans are said to have a lot of unnecessary emotions and are often treated as subjects of research for witches.

I may not know much about this newly developed mana system for humans, but I sure can tell beings that call them witches are very powerful. But at the same time powerless as they channel their powers through emotions and get their unique power after placing vows on themself. Thus the same spell that humans cast would be 10 times more powerful in hands of a witch if the situation is right. And thus it is said, " You can brawl with a giant for an ant, but never fight a prepared witch".

And now that I read between the lines I think that she made a vow to read minds or something related to that, but she can't tell thoughts of a person to other people, but yet again she might be lying cause you should "never believe a Witch". I should be on guard against her.

As I was pondering over today's happening we walked inside the building which on the outside looked good looking but on the inside was a freaking castle.

The wall was twice as high as the building outside and there were delicate designs on the walls, at the center of the roof there hung a chandelier that looked like it was made of gold and diamonds, and down on the floor instead of carpet there lied beast skin and they covered the whole area, and I couldn't imagine how big the beast would be to cover this huge floor freaking area.

at the center just below the chandelier, there was a sofa that looked like they were covered in feathers of some kind of bird beast.

Reaching this sofa was a task of its own and along with this continuous bragging of Old hag about how expensive or how unique or how rare her collection was didn't help at all.

Once we sat on the sofa, the old hag took me from Mother's lap and made me sit inside a cradle that was covered in soft fur. it was nice and comfy inside but I still had my guard up as she was Witch and she can't be doing any unnecessary thing if she wasn't one to be getting profit in return.

[Miss. Tressa can you please bless my child]said, papa.

[oh I thought you came here to meet this old hag of yours, but you just came to take my blessings how sad, I always treated you as my child, is this how you treat your mother, how did I raise such an insolent child.]said the old hag.

[You know it is not true.]said, papa.

[hey you old hag, he is like your grandchild, if you wanna give blessings then give if not then lets leave] said mother with irritation in her voice.

[says the witch that stole my poor little child away from me]said the old hag.

[You dare call me a witch]mother was getting angry.

[ya I dare what you will do] taunted old hag.

well, things were getting heated, but to tell the truth, I was kinda enjoying this. There was a hidden sense of longing in their words but due to their ego, they both didn't seem to accept that fact.

All the 'respectfully words were thrown aside and they both started quarreling like fire and water. They didn't seem to match each other at all, they seem to hate each other guts. but if you notice that even their quarrel was in perfect synch as if they had practiced it several times. what an ironic situation.

It all continued till mother said

[You are the one that made me vow to never see you if not necessary, you were just busy and didn't find your required emotions in me.] and ran away from out of the door with moist eyes.

[Ha yes who requires your useless emotions, they don't even taste nice... and you what are you doing here...go and chase after her, and bring her back if she wants the ritual to happen] said old hag.

[I apologize for her last sentence, you know she didn't mean it ] said papa leaving behind a pouch.

{In a deserted land, Outside a broken castle}

[sir we found the location]said the man in a uniform.

[tell me detail report]Said another man in uniform with rings on his chest.

[Sir, we have successfully separated every blood trace there was in this whole place, we found a total of three blood traces of humans.] said the young man.

[Only three that's intresting]said the Middle-aged man.

[Yes sir but the thing is according to our intel this training ground could only open when there are at least 10 people in a group. But the fact that we found only 3 blood traces can either mean that the rest of the people didn't get any injury, which in itself would be a miracle but a hopeful answer but ... ]before the young man could complete his sentence the middle-aged man spoke.

[It would mean that they found a way to enter without completing the requirements...]said the middle-aged man with his body emitting a deadly aura. that was enough to make young man bend his knees.

[sir please stop...]young man squeezed these words out of his mouth.

[Sorry ... I let myself a little loose, tell the elder I am gonna take care of ''him'' MYSELF] with that he stood uplifting his aura.

[and what about location] asked the middle-aged man.

[Sir we have identified its location is arround CAWIC] said the young man still his feet trembling.

[Hear my command, we will finish the trail within a week time, I will be making move myself now you are dismissed]said a middle-aged man. the young man quickly left the premises and after he went away the shadow behind the middle-aged man flinched.

seeing this middle-aged man said[You seem to be enjoying this ain't you.] but the only reply he heard was

[ha ha ha hah ah] a ghostly laugh.
