The Legend Of Divine Mystics

The whole area was filled with witches, some of them were fighting each other with magic spells having duels. While some had physical combats. Moving ahead Reeva stood in a rough patched training ground kind of space taking its centre.

Seeing this a sudden silence invaded the whole area. All the witches moving aside to make some space for there elder. Liam moved ahead and stood beside her.

"Stand in the centre and face towards me. And take an offensive stance. Use the spells that you learnt in that book to counter my attacks. Find an opening and attack me. This duel between us shall be your first test. And Liam shall be our judge.

Rules are simple the one who doesn't give up first or doesn't lose conscious wins. This is the sole rule."

Hearing this a sudden wave of murmurings started.

"Ehhh, Reeva is gonna fight. This is my first time to see her fighting I'm so excited."

"I have heard she is the strongest witch ever."

"Hmph, if she is the strongest witch ever then why couldn't she defeat The Greattttt Witch Queen"

"Hmmm, you are right if she was the strongest then she would have defeated her long ago. Well, she isn't that strong after all."

"Yea that's true. Now only Rose's heir can save us."

"Yeah, that's true"

And so continued all the gossiping.

But all these noises were blocked by the heavy sound of my fast beating heart, making me freeze at my position.

"Don't worry you will be fine. I have seen Reeva fight before and you are 100 times better than her."

Hearing this made me calm down a bit.

"Anyways, you are my student. No one can defeat you that I can guarantee. So there is nothing to worry."

A mocking smile adourned my face on hearing this. A feeling of confidence filled my heart, I lifted my head gave the man besides me a look and went to stand in my position.

"Fine. Let's do this then."

Standing straight, I lifted my hands with my wrists a little curved ready to cast a spell at the beck of my command.

Liam raises his hand and gives us a signal to start with a swish of his hand.

And so started our fight.

In an instant, I saw a flash of light coming towards me.

Seeing this made me alert and I retaliated with an equally powerful water cocoon appearing out of thin air. With that, I moved aside to dodge the splashes of water. And so we continued our back and forth of attacks.

After a short while, I started to breathe heavily. But Reeva looked unfazed. While everyone around us was awestruck.

Trying to control my breath, I stand straight looking her in the eye.

"Just as I thought. You have got her personality. If Rose had been alive today she would be so proud of you. Finally, Rose's heir is back.", whispered Reeva

" Huh, did you say something..."

" I said, you pass the test."

"Huh, I passed the test. But how...????"

"You are the second witch ever who was able to stand in front of me for so long.....

Plus I like your attitude of never giving up.

So you are in, I accept you as my disciple and welcome you to our small village. You are free to come here whenever you want to practice."

"Come on let's go to the witch archive and get your grimoire."

"Grimoire..???"

"It is a magic incantations book unique to every witch. It helps to learn you spells unique to each person. You must carry it with you all the time. And a new spell shall active each time you progress with your magical abilities or in your life...."

"So let's go and get your grimoire"

"Ok, let's go"

After that, we went to get my grimoire.

A room full of towering walls and books. Books and books everywhere. And then with an eye piercing glow a book appeared before me.

It is a black Phoenix grimoire similar to the mark on my hand. It's cover completely black with patterns all over it.

Reeva said it is supposed to be the most unique grimoire. This made me happy.

And with all this over, I left to return back to my cutie Ryan, with a promise to come back to meet all the witches and train with them along with Reeva and Liam.

During this whole trip Ralph, I mean vampireee was mostly quiet. I should probably stop being angry with him.

As we walked out of the forest into the night streets of the town I decided to cheer him up. I didn't want my best friend to be angry with me, forever.

Moving ahead, I turned towards him to say something, that when I felt a tug at my feet making me lose my balance. My foot got stuck in a crack making me fall in the process. I saw the floor coming nearer making me close my eyes in fear of the upcoming pqin. But what greeted me is a strong muscled sweet smelling object.

Hmmm, wait a minute strong muscled sweet smelling object. Opening my eyes slowly I saw the beautiful chiselled face of Vampireee coming in my eye contact..

We looked at each other for sometime getting immersed into each others eyes.

"Roaaaaar"

A sudden growl broke this contact. Straightening up hurriedly I turned around to see the source of this sound.

"Rya...Ryan...."

S**t, now I'm dead. I'm so dead. He saw me in his arms, obviously, he is angry with me now.

"Ryan, I can explain it. Just listen to what I want to tell you for once."

But before I could continue, he walked towards me with large strides and lifted me up on his shoulders.

And on he went, with his wings out he took a flight towards the castle.

Meanwhile, Ralph saw this all with a bone-chilling glare and utter calmness. Looking towards their direction of departure for a while.

As the two flew away, he took off towards Ryan's castle at his vampire speed, leaving away all the beings behind him in the dust.
