The Revenge Of Kronos (Chapter 5)
The Chief Herbal Wizard had a plan.
“If it will work.—- I think it can.”
He had a tonic that was new.
It was infused with magic too.
“When the final ingredient is introduced,
you’ll have about an hour before it’s capote.”
“Anyone who crosses over it,
then does magic, will lose their grip.”
“They will instantly be turned to ash.”
“No more Warlocks to bug our ass.”
“How to put it to use? I don’t have a plan.”
“I think I do”, said Anika, as she raised her hand.
“We will get all Warlocks in a central place.”
“It will be surrounded by a small ditch in place.”
“The ditch will be filled with the tonic.”
“We’ll already be inside. How ironic.”
“The Warlocks will try to destroy us with magic.”
“They will think we’re trapped. It will be tragic.”
“But, when they use magic they are turned to ash.
“Their hatred will drive them to their last.”
“And where would this place be, pray tell?”
“The Church Of The True God in Salem”
“The city’s biggest church Normals pray in.”
“The head priest is a man named Sirle.”
“I met him after the second war,” Anika smiled.
“I am sure he will help us out.”
“He is a man of God, without a doubt.”
They took Anika at her word.
If she said it would, it would occur.
The plans were made and details worked out.
Anika went to see Sirle. He gave a shout.
“Hi, Anika. It’s good to see you again.”
“Trouble is brewing, right to the brim.”
“That’s why I’m here. We need some help.”
“I came to you because I know how you felt.”
“You said back then, that you
wished there was more that you could do.”
Well, now there is, if you don’t mind?”
“I’ll always help you Anika, any time.”
She stared into his beautiful blue eyes.
They looked almost like they could hypnotize.
She said “Thank you,” as she blushed.
She told him her plan. “It depends on us.”
He set some altar boys to work digging the ditch.
They were young and energetic. They were quick.
Anika said goodbye, after lingering for awhile.
She left Sirle with a lingering smile.
Back at ‘home’ Jeru, the Chief Herbal Wizard,
was hard at work making the tonic, she heard.
He said he would physically bring it there.
He didn’t want magic used anywhere.
He was cautious. He didn’t want it to fail.
He would leave no magical trail.
All the preparations took some time.
We will look in again to see what we find.
