Thea
-----
When Eugene and I returned to the tavern, only Adeline and another witch remained at the table. Her na was Nicole. She was very talkative with my new friend, but this did not apply to , since only my attempt to start a dialogue and the girl closed herself in. It created so discomfort between us. Therefore, after ordering stewed vegetables, we ate in silence under Eugene’s gaze. It was as if she was watching over small children so that they did not ss around at the table.
- What do you want to learn first, Thea? - Eugene asked , diluting the quiet clatter of spoons on plates.
- I don’t really know where to start. - I mumbled. – I don’t even know what kind of power I have.
- What are you whispering about? Speak up. - Eugene said, raising her voice a little, and my stomach clenched with excitent, but it turned out that the words were not ant for , but for Nicole.
- What kind of witch is she who still doesn’t have the strength? – the girl also answered in a raised tone, but only one wave of Eugene’s magic wand and Nicole’s mouth completely disappeared on her face, forcing her to look for it with her hands in fright.
- Don’t forget, dear, even though you are more capable now than them, but you are still weak. Instead of looking for flaws in others, take care of yourself, you still have sothing to learn. - the witch’s voice spread out in a pleasant wave, completely returning to its forr calm tone.
- Don’t be so hard on her, Nikki, all abilities manifest themselves at different ages. We need to be more friendly and support each other. - Adeline picked up the dialogue.
- I’m not strict, it’s just because of her that the exam dates were shifted again. So infuriating. - The girl, whose mouth appeared on her face again, snorted irritably.
- Exam? - I asked.
- Yes, after you are trained in the basic skills, you will have to pass the exam. As a result of which you will have the opportunity to enter the inner circle of the supre witch. -Eugene replied. – Nicole is just worried that despite her efforts, she still can’t achieve what she wants.
- I will definitely pass the exam the best! – slamming her palms on the table, throwing aside her fork, the girl hissed. - I have to be by my queen’s side to protect her.
- And what is the na of the supre witch?
This question has been bothering exactly from the mont I saw that dream. Was he really showing future events?
- Lily...
- ...lian.
Adeline and Nicole simultaneously gave out this na, which seed to chain my whole gut. Am I stupid enough to walk into the mouth of a hungry beast myself? This discovery made shudder even more. What if she recognizes ?
- Is everything all right? - Eugene’s voice brought back from my thoughts and I nodded. - The High Witch doesn’t need protection. We are all, to one degree or another, just a tool to achieve so of its goals. It’s always been that way. But despite this, she protects the coven... from others. However, since you are just young students, you may not want to et her in person until you pass the exam. First prove that you are ready, that you are strong.
After the eting, Adeline and I returned ho. Along the way, I learned that Eugene is as important in the coven as the supre witch herself. And she occupied the second place in the hierarchy, being her deputy and right-hand man. She was powerful, but fair and kind. This was my first impression of her, although I could not have imagined that she was the second in status in the coven. I believe that her offer to move in with her may really be of benefit to .
Adeline was very surprised and even upset that I agreed to move, but she also understood the prospects for , so her longing quickly receded. Although I dare to assu that her mood was brightened up by Klaus, who could not move with in any way. And it’s scary to even imagine how Eugene would react to him, after all, few people like werewolves, so Adeline’s infatuation was strange in itself. Although perhaps she is one of those won who are greedy for beautiful faces?
I grinned at this thought, and I imdiately rembered another beautiful face, which was also dangerous, but still attracted on a physical and emotional level. Yes, definitely, all races are submissive to love. It’s like a rabbit and a wolf, is love possible between them? Mmm, perhaps this is not the most successful example...
I decided not to postpone the conversation with Klaus and imdiately gave him all the information, which of course he took very negatively. He scolded , raised his voice, and this made my head shrink into my shoulders in an attempt to hide from imminent punishnt. But my decision had already been made, and therefore he could not do anything after hearing my argunts, although his distrust of Eugene was justified, because he did not know her at all. Why, I didn’t know her myself and acted on a hunch.
On the day of departure, I collected my few things, which Adeline kindly gave , and with the help of the portal, which she also opened, I moved imdiately to my ntor’s house.
- Wow, what dinsions! I’ve never been to her house. -Adeline drawled, walking behind .
The size of the house was really impressive. It certainly wasn’t my father’s or Raphael’s castle, but it was at least a substantial estate, with high vaulted ceilings and a huge amount of light filling the space. The expensive carved furniture looked very elegant, emphasizing the pedantic nature of the hostess of this place.
We were t in the hall by the housekeeper, who was kind enough to escort to my new room, and also to feed my friend and lunch while we waited for Eugene’s arrival.
- I was a little late, but I’m glad to see that you’ve already settled in. If you need sothing, don’t hesitate to say it. – said the ntors.
- Thank you. It’s already too much for . - I replied.
-Well, Adeline, you can go ho. - Eugene replied deliberately casually and her friend hurried to disappear.
- Since you’ve already eaten, why don’t we start exploring your abilities? How do they usually manifest themselves?
I imdiately got into a stupor not knowing what to answer. After all, I couldn’t tell her that I was conjuring with my bare hands, and another legend didn’t add up in my head at all.
- Show . - she insisted.
- I do not know how ... - I answered, frowning in perplexity and shaking my head.
In an instant, the table and chairs were pushed aside with a bang at the wave of a magic wand, which was now aid at .
- You don’t know? Or don’t you want to talk?
Eugene’s face was impenetrable and her gaze pressed on , causing a chill to run down my spine. But I thought she was sweet and kind. Did I make a mistake?
A volley of light and a thin glowing trickle leaked out of the wand, heading towards and I began to step back until I ran without noticing it myself. I don’t know what I was running from, but I had a bad feeling about this light.
Not knowing where to run next, I turned around in search of another way, but was caught off guard, painfully tightening my arms and legs by a spell. Like a heavy, unwieldy weight, I fell to the floor and almost hit my head, if not for Eugene’s magic.
- Hmm, strange, I thought that fright, coupled with a little pain, could awaken your powers. It didn’t work. - She wrapped her arms around her waist and sat down next to . - Try to get out of this net yourself.
I looked up at her, dumbfounded. Okay, I realized that this is my test, but how should I, in her opinion, remove the spell from myself? The big shock for was that she left lying on the floor without a drop of sympathy, and she left the dining room.
I was already beginning to regret that I agreed to live with her. Where are my carefree days with Adeline?
According to my feelings, I had been lying for a very long ti and had already begun to freeze from the coldness of the marble floor, and I also really wanted to go to the toilet, so I tossed and turned like I was in a frying pan to take a more or less comfortable pose. I ended up just curling up and ntally persuading my bladder to be patient and not to set up.
When the ntor returned, there was a startled expression on her face, as if she did not expect to see in the sa place in the sa condition.
- What’s wrong with you? – she asked sternly. - You should have removed that simple spell a long ti ago. Even a five-year-old witch copes with it perfectly.
- How can I use my wand when my hands are tightly bound?
- Did I say sothing about a wand? - Eugene asked, raising her eyebrows, smiling slightly.
- Then I don’t understand...
- You forget who I am, darling. -The seer replied. - Now tell , how did your powers manifest last ti?
