Great Uncle Glen bent down to his mother and whispered “Are you really going to let them in the casting circle?”
“My child Amelia would not allow any danger to come to her coven! I have sent the warning everyone knows that if any dark magic is practiced then they will be damned to the outside mortal world. I believe they will do right by the coven. It has not been proven that they practice with the dark magic, my son. Do not pass judgment unless you have proof. Is that not what the mortal world has done to our people for centuries?” Elizabeth asked
“Yes mother I am sorry!” Great Uncle Glen said with a bow.
“Everyone there is a hay bale ahead on the right I need several strong men to move it please.” Elizabeth asked
Four men came forward and lifted the bale away and a door appeared! Elizabeth looked at the crowd and said place a snapped lotus root under your tongue, wave your hand over the door and whisper this incantation “Signs openus Argus, Wholeheart!” Each incantation Amelia has set for each family, it will not allow you to enter under someone else’s surname. So as each of you follow please do as I have instructed the lotus root is in the jar on the wall to your left.
Elizabeth and Glenn went first as they walked down the spiral staircase to the caverns below. Each family in the coven had their own casting circles directed in the direction of their goddess and elemental power. Glenn looked at his mother who was looking at the floor. Off to the right of the middle was a smaller casting circle with the name “Alaina Lynn Rivers-O’Malley” and in the middle was a large casting circle with a name “Julia Amelia Wholeheart-O’Connor” no one knew the names that were almost shining off the floor. Julia could not even think she was in complete shock from seeing her name on the floor and with Detective O’Connor’s name at the end of it.
“Elizabeth who does those names belong to?” Janay Aherne asked
“Janay, I do not know! I see that Julia will be a descendant of mine she bares the Wholeheart name. But I do not know of her at this time. But I do not know of the Rivers family either.” Elizabeth said
Everyone gathered around the circles “Why would they be separated and larger than the rest?” Everyone is confused none of them have ever seen this before. Elizabeth raises her right hand “Everyone listen to me we will find out soon who these people are soon enough. Let’s finish getting Gypsy Cove to the safe coven that it was meant to be.” Everyone agreed the families found their casting circles and placed their materials around them, well everyone but the O’Rourke’s their materials went with them. Julia kind of kept her eye on them but thought maybe they just did not trust someone and thought that it would be stolen.
Elizabeth walked over to the O’Rourke’s; she asked “Coreana if you take your materials out and keep them in your home you could be caught!”
“Well let me tell you this you are not in charge here Elizabeth, you will never take your mother's place!” She spat at Elizabeth with such hatred that you could feel the fire behind it.
“Coreana, let me tell you this; never in a million years would I think that I could fill my mother's’ shoes as this covens Ultimate Grand High Priestess, I was not granted with that privilege at my full moon ceremony. But do not forget I have been around a lot longer and I was gifted with the element of water and I could put your fire out before you even knew what hit you. But my mother and the other made the decision that I take her place until a new Ultimate Grand Priestess is gifted to us.” Elizabeth said. Julia thought even though she could feel the anger in Elizabeth she spoke with calmness and easy to Coreana. But I could start to see steam coming up from in front of me. I looked down and felt the smile that hit Elizabeth’s face when Coreana finally realized my Great, Great Grandmother just cooled her down. I laughed to myself but could feel that Elizabeth wanted to do the same thing.
“Are you kidding me Elizabeth?” Coreana Yelled
“Just thought, I would calm your fire down Coreana!” Elizabeth said as she turned and walked away
