Chapter 3 Magic

I walked a little ways and stopped under a lamppost it flickered then went out. "That's strange," I said to socks I crossed the street and walk a few more yards and looked back At the Street light it was back on. I turned back around and noticed that I was only a few yards from the cemetery. So I walked to the gate and pushed it open, it creaked under the pressure. I walked amongst the newer graves and soon reached the old cemetery I stopped and sat down next to a gravestone. I was covered in moss and the inscription was barely legible. Socks seemed to have found a piece a grass to occupy him self with. I opened my book and began to read
lesson one: Names
you now know who you power comes from but not where it comes from. Your power is old magic and lies with in your soul. It usually appears with out you knowing it mostly in times of great emotional stress. But most of the time witches can control their magic. Try this:
Focus on an object near you
I pick a small stone lying in front of me in the grass
Close your eyes
Focus on the object
And imagine it floating towards you
So I closed my eyes and imagined the stone floating
I opened my eyes and … nothing
Now the stone didn't come to you did it. That is because you didn't call it by its proper name. Every thing has a name, and no its name isn't stone
I read this threw twice how did the book know I was focusing on the stone?
Close your eyes and focus on the stone again. Ask it for its name.
I closed my eyes feeling really stupid and focused on the stone once again
"What's your name" I asked for a moment I thought nothing was going to happen but soon I herd a small deep voice "my name" it breathed "is ADRASTOS".
I opened my eyes and looked at the stone then down at the book
See now everything has a name. Now that you know his name ASK him to come to you. Remember to be polite, never command something to do anything Witches are equal with every thing and to command something would make you seem above that thing and they may not like it.
"Umm, Adrastos could you come here please?"
I looked down at the stone and I began to rise from its place I opened my hand Adrastos floated over my hand and set down in my palm. "Um thank you," I said. I didn't know what to think. I am a witch. I closed the book and set the rock back in its original place. I left the cemetery and went back home.
