THE DIVIDE

Hundreds of years ago, a race of supernatural beings called Mystics and humans went to war, almost resulting in the extinction of Mystic-kind. The Council, often seen as the Gods of all Mystics, created a rule that would prevent this from occurring again-Mystics must mask as human and can't interact with other Mystics to lessen the chance of exposure. Their existence is now only ever written as myth. Are these stories of history, passed down from Mystic parent to Mystic child true? Or is there something deeper, darker going on? *** Michaela (Mika) Corey is an eighteen-year-old Druid who lives her life pretending to be human. She's loyal to the rule, but the seclusion puts her in a box she struggles to fit into. When she meets Iris Blake, her outlook on the human world and Mystic world shifts. Mika is presented with what's true and a task that she can't refuse because the future of Mystics are at stake. The Divide is created by Neradia, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 35: Mirror World of the Divine

Lavender. Dandelion, the yellow kind. Lemon juice.

I mix, crushing the solid ingredients in the bowl. I add more.

Candle wax. Rosemary leaf. Rose Quartz dust. Warm water.

I stand from my desk and leave my bedroom, bringing the bowl with me. In the bathroom, I turn the sink faucet on, let the water run at a light flow. I don’t want to drown the ingredients, just immerse them enough that they collide with the water, become one. It has to be poured into a vial, thrown and broken at my feet in order for it to work properly.

With the bowl on the vanity, I wait for the water to get warm, the water at the lake in the woods kind of warm. The kind of warm that eases sore muscles, bath water. I can’t rush. This needs to be perfect. No mistakes.

But what if I get there too late? She’s already gone, for good. Never seeing the sun again, earth again. No. I can’t think like that.
