Hello everyone! DN0123 is back! I do not own any of the characters except for Aries. The gods and goddesses are their own as well.
Chapter 1: My world…their world
"Aries! Could you handle to customers for me please? I need to grab some more bottles from the back." Narda, my co-worker, called out to me. I looked up from behind the bar, grabbing a couple of glasses.
" Yeah, no problem. Hurry though." I replied quickly, watching her disappear into the back room. Narda and I are the Night Shift bartenders at a bar called "The North Star". I needed a job to help keep me in school so I could become a doctor. When I first started a couple years back, I had no clue how to mix drinks or anything, but Narda helped me learn and would cover for me whenever I needed to study. She pretty much became my best friend.
" Yo Ari! Can we get some of your famous 'Witches Brew'?" One of the frequent customers called out. I giggled and nodded as I began to mix with some flare.
"Witches Brew cocktails coming right up!" I loudly called out. When I learned how to mix, I made my own drink with my secret ingredient. My boss and customers liked it so much, that it became a regular drink on the menu and board. Little everyone knew about the ingredients.
The night progress until it became about 2 a.m., closing time. Stretching, I jumped over the bar table and began to clean up with Narda.
"Girl, your drink is still the most popular. Must be thanks to that "special ingredient" you add in, huh?" Narda questioned, wiggling her eyebrows as she piled glasses onto the tray.
"Haha, only you would know." I moved some glasses onto my tray and carried them back to the bar to clean them.
"Well, my best friend is a witch, of course I'd know." She yelled with a smile on her face. "Still can't believe you do magic and stuff. Those drinks are damn blessed! You know, your drinks are considered the number one drink to get if you want luck. What do you do to them exactly?" She set her tray down beside me and helped me clean them.
"I don't do much. Just while I mix, I bless the drink with a spell and before I hand them out, I run a ruby crystal along the glass for luck." I shrugged lightly and continued to wash as Narda headed to wipe off the tables.
" So that's why you wear that ring. The red crystal ring on your pinky?" I looked down at my hand and saw the ring in question. It was a ring that my mother gave me for my first semester of school. It was hers when she started too.
"Yeah, luckiest thing I own." I giggled and finished washing the glasses, storing them away for the end of the night. Narda giggled and helped me finish cleaning.
(End of the night)
"I'm home…" I called out to no one as I opened the door to my small apartment. Setting my bag down, I took out my clothes from the day and exchanged them for a new set and got my textbooks ready. It had been a long day and thankfully I had the day off tomorrow. I walked to my room and turned on the T.V. I missed todays episode of supernatural and was pretty bummed out for it. Season 2 just started last week and today was supposed to be episode 2 of the show. I'll just catch up next week. Shrugging, I began to change into my pj's which consisted of a pair of shorts and a t-shirt with the Winchester motto on the back. The anti-possession tattoo that I had gotten to show my support for the show peeked out on my hip from under my shirt. I loved this tattoo, I plan to get more soon as the show progresses…maybe.
Stretching, I walked over to my bed and grabbed my phone, turning on music and reading some new posts from pinterest before laying down with it to my chest. I looked out my window beside me and watched as a shooting star passed. Silently, I made a wish on it and prayed to the gods and goddesses I believed in before falling asleep.
(Third person, in the heavens)
Unbeknownst to the witch, laying in her bed down below, the gods and goddesses have heard her prayer and her wish. They smiled amongst themselves as they began their debate.
"This young witch, has been a good one." One god said, a smile on his face.
"Her family has worshipped us for generations. And each witch has one wish per birthday. This little witch, didn't make a wish this year…" One moon goddess said, looking down at the woman below. She smiled, this was her favorite witch out of the family. But she was also the only one left…
"You are right, Artemis, my sister." One Sun god agreed. He smiled down and looked at his twin sister's favorite witch. He knew why she was her favorite. This witch was born under the full moon. When she arrived, she cried with a force that the moon goddess favored. She immediately blessed the newborn, saying that the child had the heart of a warrior. Gaia, the Great Mother and Earth goddess, stood behind her fellow goddess and blessed the child as well.
Turns out, they were right to bless the newborn. She grew to be strong and caring, with the heart of a warrior. Any spells she cast, were for others and rarely herself. All her wishes were selfless ones. Her career choice was made because she wanted to be able to care and help others. She had taken up archery as a way to get closer to her main goddess, and with Artemis's help, she excelled. Thanks to the blessings, the young witch became excellent at the elements and animals. But…her life became a sad one. When, at the age of 16, her parents met their end. The gods and goddesses took pitty on the young witch and tried to help her continue being strong in her life. They came to find out that, although her heart was broken and alone, she maintained a smile. The broken heart didn't hinder the caring one.
"The little witch we have cared so much for, has finally made…a selfish wish. Shall we grant it?" The Great mother goddess said. She smiled as she crossed her arms. She had a good feeling about this wish. They had already reviewed where she wished to be. It was a place…filled with monsters and demons and angels and hunters. Hunters who have killed witches, bad witches.
"It is a very dangerous place that she wishes to be. They kill her kind." The sky god explained, gripping his lightning bolt.
"We place her with the hunters…Give her a chance as soon as she gets there. She knows how to fight, and we will help her. Although that earth is different, it is the same. I say…we give her a gift when she arrives." The god of the underworld and death inquired, looking at his fellow gods and goddesses. He wouldn't admit it, but he also favored the young witch. She gave offerings and it also helped that his wife liked her as well.
"I agree, my love." The Queen of the underworld smiled, holding a piece of grain between her fingers. "I say we give her…gifts to use in this world. My love, we shall give her a familiar with a demon blade." The god of the underworld nodded to his wife's request. The other gods and goddesses agreed as well.
"I will give her a blessed bow, with arrows that can pierce through evil. Leaving the innocent unharmed." The moon goddess announced, heading towards the god of forge.
"I will give her the ability to speed up the healing process along with more knowledge on home-made medication." The Sun God stood and began to work on his gift.
"I'll give her the knowledge of how to fight." Said the God of War. Her name was like his after all. Might as well give her another of his attributes.
The gods and goddesses began to get their gifts ready. Some were for her mind, others for her body, others were equipment. If she is to be living in this world, she would need to be ready. They cared for the little witch.
"Are we ready?" the Great Mother goddess asked, standing in a circle around the young witch. The other gods and goddesses nodded and set their gifts into a duffle-bag with the symbol of Olympus.
"Our dear Aries, your wish is granted…" The gods and goddess said as one, teleporting the young witch out of her bed.
(On earth)
The young witch landed on the wooden floor with a hard thump, her entire body aching with the landing. She let out a small moan of pain as she rubbed her head and sat up.
"What the hell…" She groaned out before she looked up and was met with the barrel of a gun.
"Who and what in the hell are you?"
