The Magician’s War (Chapter 12)
Finally, they felt good enough to move around.
She told the others: “Check around, even the grounds.”
“Make sure all is safe and well.”
“If it isn’t, send them to hell.”
Anika’s wand had been pulling her one way.
She let it lead, with nothing to say.
It led her down to the lowest basement.
To a room incased in it.
She entered with great caution.
The room was bare, except for a coffin.
She opened it and a woman sat up.
Anika jumped, ready to disrupt.
She said: ‘I am Anethea, the Great Deceiver of the war.’
‘If you see me, you are the next Great Deceiver, or
you have her wand, which was mine till I was gone.’
‘I don’t believe this has gone that wrong.’
‘You have passed through the 7 Levels Of Hell.’
‘To do that, you have indeed done very well.’
‘I will now increase your power through the wand.’
‘It will happen through our bond.’
‘This will be needed for the war you will now face.’
‘After all this time, this is a different place.’
‘The Warlock’s home is beyond the second sea.’
‘At least, it was in the time of me.’
‘All their magic comes from the dark side.’
This is something we reject, with pride.
‘It is evil, vicious, uncaring, and very deadly.’
‘But, good can overcome, as you will see.’
‘I failed because I was too kind.’
‘My downfall was due to this state of my mind.’
‘Most of the population here are ‘Normals.’
‘Those with no magical ability, as their core goes.’
‘They are made into slaves.’
‘Treated very badly by those with Worlock ways.’
‘The few who are born with latent magic
are killed very soon by the Worlock’s.’ ‘ Tragic.’
‘If you are to win the Warlock vs Wizard War,
you have to be like them to your very core.’
‘I am not saying you should become evil.’
‘Think like them, then you will perceive their will.’
‘Outsmart them at every turn.’
‘They have nothing that you can learn.’
‘They don’t have the ability to think creatively.’
‘But, you do. The 7 Levels proved that blatantly.’
‘Tremendous power will come through to you.’
‘Use it wisely in all that you do.’
‘This is the last gift that I can give.’ ‘ Bless you.’
‘May God be with you and give you what I can’t give you.’
Anika’s wand started to glow.
Then got super bright as the power flowed.
She was surrounded in a covering of light.
It filled her with power and its might.
She fell to the floor immediately after.
When she awoke, the panthers were looking at her.
They knew that something had changed.
They felt the power through their mental exchange.
Anika rose and said: “It’s time to get to work.”
She knew what she planned was not berserk.
She sent a message via wand to her home planet.
She had made it to earth, they got, as they scanned it.
She said: “Follow the link I am sending to you.”
“It will allow each of you to pass through.”
“That will take tremendous power,” they sent to her.
“I can handle it now” “Travel without fear, for sure.”
It was done and they started coming through.
They popped into sight everywhere. Quite a zoo.
When it was over, the large room was full.
A meal was set and they made their plans to go.
The Warlock vs Wizard War would begin again.
I can’t say yet exactly how it will end.
