Gathering of Witches

The Tall Witch was not pleased at all. Not at all. Muriel the Grand Witch had tasked her of gathering many witches from all over the world to participate in the Blood Harvest held on a full moon which was blood red. A night most holy to witches. This only happened once in a great while and was supposedly the only time where the witches, after sacrificing 6 boys and 6 girls could gain immortality. But only if it was done within that night. Tall Witch was looking forward to this unholy holiday but not to gathering her fellow sisters. Witches were highly territorial and it wasn't uncommon for disputes to happen as a result of real or imagined offences. Even walking on one's land could trigger an attack. Tall Witch sighed and got on her broom to find the first witch. This witch was called Horned Witch and she lived in the darkest part of a forest nearly devoid of light. Even crawling things and those that feasted on rotting flesh avoided this area. And for good reason.

It took an hour to find the witch's land. Finding a clearing in which to park was no easy task either for there were thorns and other nasty things about. The Horned Witch did not like visitors. Especially those who came uninvited and unannounced. Tall Witch landed and set her broom aside. She ran her hand through her short hair and walked purposely towards her destination.

The Horned Witch's house was a decrepit old building. Tall Witch sneered in distaste. A witch had all these powers and couldn't even obtain a decent home. She ventured inside being as there was no door. It was dark inside the house and smelled of death and decay. What furniture was there was rotting and infested with termites and wood rot most likely. The stove looked like it hadn't even been used in 100 years. It was covered in mold, grime and who knew what else. Tall Witch looked around for The Horned Witch not realizing the woman was behind her the whole time.

"what brings you to my land sister? It is not wise for you to come onto my land unannounced and univited." Horned Witch rasped. Her voice sounded like death and the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees in the witch's presence. Tall Witch turned around to look at The Horned Witch. The woman was dressed in black rags that draped over her. Her black hair was knotted and wild. On top of her head two horns resembling a ram had grown out and curled down. The witch's eyes held an unholy gaze and she gripped her wand in a knarled hand with black nails that more resembled claws. Tall Witch bowed respectfully.

"As you are well aware the Blood Moon approaces quickly. With the sacrifice of 6 boys, 6 girls, plus the heart of a Grand White Witch we can obtain immortality." Tall Witch said confidently. The Horned Witch grinned and stepped forward. Bugs, and other nasty crawling things fell from the evil woman's form. "I am well aware of this Holiday most Holy. And I will attend the meeting. Long have we suffered from the hands of humans who seek to persecute us." She went outside and grabbed her broom and was off.

Tall Witch was glad to be out of the presence of The Horned Witch. To be honest the woman unnerved her. She was impossibly old. Maybe even older than Muriel herself. The Horned Witch had powers the others didn't. But Muriel was more powerful. And more dangerous when angered. Tall Witch flew on her broom at a safe distance form The Horned Witch. As the woman flew ahead of her birds who just happened to fly past suddenly dropped from the sky shrivled up or turned inside out. Tall Witch didn't know if it was a spell used for fun or if the woman was so powerful that only witches and other nasty things could stand to be around her.

At the clearing The Horned Witch dismounted her broom and greeted Muriel respectfully. As powerful as The Horned Witch was…even she knew not to challenge Muriel. Grand Witches were powerful indeed and could change their looks at any time. Unlike normal witches who were stuck with the look they had. Tall Witch knew that Muriel would send her after yet another sister but she wasn't sure who as of yet. There was a bog nearby where a Bog Witch lived and a few scattered in small areas of territory. Those were not as strong on their own but idolized Muriel and gathering them would prove easy. Then there was the witch who made her home under a bridge. This woman was stupid and her favorite food was the brains of children. The only way she would consider joining Muriel is if she was promised their brains after the sacrifice was completed.
