Chapter 21: Control
.
It tried to contain the anticipation and excitement.
The moment It had waited for was here.
After the witch's spell had been removed, it had remained as quiet and un-intrusive as possible, letting the warlock believe that It too, had been removed.
They had been united in their desire to be free of the witch's curse. However, while the young warlock was content to embrace oblivion, It had no such desire.
It had been trapped for 200 years, dormant. Alone. Unable to act upon the thousands of evil desires that occupied It's being. But now it had a foothold in this world. It finally had a chance to be free, and was not going to let it go.
It had been patient. It would have to be quick.
It's patience was rewarded.
In the moment that Merlin let go, the Ciarmhaic seized control.
