Tuesday, 28 August 2018, Place unknown
Charlotte was finally getting the care and help of a nanny called Olivia who was making it a little more helpful for Chariot to deal with the hard work that is being a mother, having a little more support, besides his wife Croix and the people of the Cavendish mansion, this time they had a little more rest amidst all this care that needs to be done with the little child.
But still there are tensions, the cultists were still active, which showed a lot since the fire in Luna Nova, as well as Margareth that was loose, what the girls were still half in alert training physically improving the magic to be able to face these dangers that can appear every minute.
In a very unknown place, that is in the United Kingdom, but still unknown, was the base of all the cultists of that organization, after a month that the missions were accomplished, Daryl, Alef and others that participated of the attack to Luna Nova, were called for a meeting, since the leader ended up discovering some things and with a little tension they went there, since a call like that the presence is mandatory every direction. From there they were walking through the corridors of the organization, arriving at the dark room of the boss, who was sitting in the middle of a throne, with a corridor where in the corners of it there was a kind of pool by the side full of some fishes, everyone stops in front of him bowing and the boss himself raises the sceptre.
" Very well, the mission for the total destruction of Luna Nova was accomplished, that doesn't mean we don't have a success, you were supposed to kill everyone, but everyone survived, do you know what that means? I could execute each one of you right now for such incompetence " said the leader.
" Forgive us, great leader Pulcher Magus, we could not cause too much shock for what happened afterwards, they were with cameras and surely they knew that there had been an attack," said Alef and Pulcher walked a little further ahead, getting close to the cultist.
" Ah Alef, you know, you did well in your mission, but " Magus stabbed the man in the chest " I don't want incompetence here, don't try to justify your failures, now question them in hell " Said the leader, who then threw his own body into the water, staining it with blood, then being devoured by several fish in the water that wouldn't stop moving, until he himself returned to the throne.
" Sovereign Alef is one of our best men, in our situation we cannot afford for him to die... " Said another who was hit by a spell that caused him to be slashed in the chest, falling towards the pool full of fish.
" I already said don't try to justify your incompetence, you could have killed them while you were inside Luna Nova and nobody would know, even if the building collapsed and you died, you would be decorated as legends, you would have a space in our paradise, but you chose hell, you chose cowardice " Pulcher said.
" I meant to be sneaky, you know what Pulcher Magus, you are a bunch of equally incompetent, they are weak opponents, you are wasting time, they should all be at Cavendish mansion grouped together, apart from the others who from what I saw have simply gone to live separately elsewhere, we can start sweeping family by family, they are leftovers from the failures of those missions years ago, apart from the main group " Cavendish said.
Everyone at that time got tense, they didn't expect that Daryl herself would confront the leader like that, so much that the leader himself kept quiet, then, stood up, with the scepter in his hand pointed to her, casting a spell that would perforate her, who dodged and was constantly trying to dodge more knife throws that were rolling, until she ended up being hit, but not in lethal points where she was hanging in the middle of the wall, by several knives.
" You really are a witch trying to be smart in front of my leadership," Pulcher said, dropping the knives that made Daryl himself fall, half kneeling before him.
" If I'm going to die then I don't have to kiss your boot or bow down to you, I already know that from your point of view I failed in the mission, but it's not my fault, I'm not an idiot to spend my life and time that could serve me better killing myself to kill someone I can still kill, you just killed one of your best, how do you intend to defeat the witches like that, if you haven't already " Said Cavendish getting up half weak and then being suddenly healed, from her injuries.
" Ohhhhhhhh, I like people like you, you are not afraid and don't measure your words, a female like you is too useful, you have pulse, but tell me what plan then you think is better? Now they ran away, they know of our existence more than anything, and the survivors from 1999 are still alive and they are building an offensive," said Magus.
" I'm not going to stand here fighting and begging for my life for a second chance, I don't have any plan beyond what you yourself intend to do, I just know the mansion very well to the point of knowing points in which we can attack stealthily killing one of each " Said the one with the ponytail.
" Ahhhh, I will let you survive, you will plan one more time for an attack against these, but don't fail, or I will put you to be eaten slowly by the fishes, already you all around, fight for your lives, the witch will fight against you, if you win from her you can get out alive, but if she wins you will die " Said the leader.
" What? So that's it? You want to let me live to fight for my life " said the Scottish woman.
" Do you really think I would leave you alive so easily? You have to prove yourself strong and competent for this chance that I will give you " He said pointing the staff.
With that she was surrounded by four of the cultists of the group who were looking at her and remained calm, they were the only ones alive, and then she transforms herself into a giant snake coiling herself in the middle of the four who are transforming their wands into swords, almost getting to the point of sticking the Cavendish who returns to human form and with that she starts to make an army of snakes going towards everyone who start cutting each one that came close.
" Give up Daryl, you're only one against four of us, let's just kill the damn thing," one of them said.
And that same one eventually disappears, reappearing behind her own about to strike a blow, but the Scot simply with her other hand used a levitation spell moving her sword wand to stock the cultist herself who fell among the fish, only three remaining.
" Now there are three of you " she said slowly walking forward.
More snakes were appearing, this time a wall all towards the snakes themselves that then use a spell to cause an explosion causing them to spread to every corner, and with that they go spreading and surround the witch to give an attack with the sword shaped wands, while the leader only made a barrier to not be hit by the poisonous snakes while many were falling in the middle of the pool being devoured by the fishes.
But one of them didn't notice and was hit in the middle of the way to attack his own with a blow that made him fall in the middle of the pool and he was swimming as much as he could, but the fishes fiercely devoured each piece that was left of the witch, while the others attacked a mere hologram.
" What? She tricked us," said one of them, who then found Daryl appearing in front of him, sort of starting to strike, stunning him until he hit a spell that made him hit the wall on the other side and then fall right in the middle of the pool.
He himself goes trying to swim to the other side but the fishes go catching him making of his meal what with that only one was left that stood looking at everything scared, while the Cavendish was smiling in a whole intimidating way, walking in a more frightening way and the himself was trying to hit an attack as he went with all his strength to hit the witch.
" You may have beaten all of mine, but I am still good enough to beat you," said the wizard.
He was beginning to give several attempts of strokes, but the Scottish girl was doing little service of everything, dodging as if it was nothing, simply deviating as if it was the easiest thing of the world, turning the face and the body lifting only the hand giving an impulse of air where the own one almost arrived to fall in the middle of the pool of fishes.
But the own one impels itself of return, goes going in direction of the same one but hitting with the hands and feet trying one more blow of impact but the own one was still continuing to dodge.
" Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! You worthless witch! You destroyed my life! " Said his own until he took another boost of magic behind him.
" Who ruined your own life was you, you dedicated your whole life to this cult without any meaning, that's what you did, the meaning of your life is to chase a witch and now this same witch is going to kill you, this same witch, the leader cared little about saving your life so he can work on bossing some of you around, how do you feel knowing that you were bossed around by a witch all along " Said Daryl herself kind of turning into a snake getting close to his own ear.
The boy rebels, he starts trying to attack everywhere by casting spells, but the witch keeps dodging, multiplying herself in several Daryl, where she keeps trying by all means to hit the ones that were cloned with magic, but they were only illusions, this with the leader loving to see the way with which she was fighting against the boy, who was trying by all means to hit a spell, but nothing worked, until she herself becomes more visible in front of him panting and tired.
" What is it? Are you tired already? I haven't even attacked you yet, look at your friends, look at your leader, you will die tortured, you will die having an existential crisis about yourself, your existence is merely being a puppet of this cult " Cavendish said.
" You keep quiet, I will kill every one of you witches, you are the scum of this world! " The boy went up and started to strike without magic, much weaker than before, so that the Scottish girl defended all the attacks with a single finger as if it was nothing.
" In reality only I am, the world where you are we are all scoria, you who spent a lifetime thinking about what is right, your whole existence is just to be an object of that man there, but apparently you will never understand this, you're too small for all this, you think I did not know that would roll anything of this? I even pretended the tension, because you are mere pawns of ours, that's what you are " said Daryl that began to give the first attack.
Hitting a simple punch in the stomach the boy was thrown almost reaching the fish pit, was starting to try to get up, but was caught by the clothes where he was starting to receive several punches in the face getting a bit disfigured by the violence that Daryl did not give any fear to punch to hurt the boy, getting to hold him near the fish lowering the body where the feet were starting to be devoured, but then he came back with those wounds very evident where he was throwing on the ground.
" You made the single mistake of being incompetent, if you died trying to kill them you could have been decorated by our organization, but that's it, you're just a cannon fodder for us, you do all the dirty work while we stand there watching," said Cavendish who then picks up the body of the boy, where he then gives an impulse where he hits the wall.
This time she goes hard pushing where she hit a knee hard on the stomach of the witch who even spat blood, where after she received a hammer blow where he was thrown with everything into the pool of the devouring fish, ending the life of the last one and with that Daryl herself comes back facing the throne with a smile on her face.
" Excellent Daryl, you've proved enough, that psychological torture was genius, you've really proved yourself as someone I can trust to handle this mission, now tell me more " Pulcher said.
" I said, I am not submissive to any leader, I do it for myself, I just like to cause pain to those who challenge me and so I do, I just want to conquer my objectives and have my possessions, which we will need to lead this new world we are going to build " Cavendish said.
" For I never thought I would ever ally myself with a witch and she would be more competent than my soldiers " Magus said.
" No one understands better than they do, I do this for our future, we have to dominate this world, we are allies in this fight to make a world ours and I know what we should do, we won't kill them, we will capture them, magic is an excellent way to get lethal force " Said the Scottish woman as she revealed that she had a project in hand that looked like a missile.
" What is it? Why a missile? Are we going to cause a nuclear war? But how are we going to have a world to dominate if there is no world left for that? " asks the leader.
" That is further ahead, we will drain a lot of magic and manufacture several of these, just to show the world what we are capable of, we detonate a city, we will do this in the main cities, we have to establish control with force, after this everyone will know that the world will bow down to us, it will be a long journey to this great conquest, wars will come, but cruelty will be necessary, we have to lower the population to ensure power over it, take the fear as a form of repression, break the society, take the power and thus ensure our sovereignty over all, will soon know who we are, and who should bow down, that's what we have to do, take power and have control of this production too, so let's ally with rich people before planning all this when we go capture the witches, they are our door to world conquest " said Daryl.
" Interesting, I like that way of thinking, you have a future ahead of you, I never stopped to think about what would come after that, things are really quite complicated, but our plan was just to subjugate the witches and try to world influence, so that after many generations we could actually get our plan to show how witches are better " Pulcher said.
" Come with me I'll show you more how to assemble these missiles", said Cavendish, while he himself was going near her, and with that he was suddenly pulled by her hands.
" That's another lesson you should learn Pulcher Magus, you shouldn't trust witches " Daryl said as he himself went thrashing about trying to get out anyway using magic to protect himself from the fish.
It was no use, the magic protected the body, but it was not enough to break the force field that was on top of him that was hitting him to try to get out by all means, but nothing he could, besides the air that he was losing, all this while Daryl watched him after starting to be devoured, becoming the main dish of the fishes, then the mask of him was starting to float in the middle of the pool, the woman put it on her face and then sat down on the throne.
" The new era of this cult has arrived, I am now the Pulcher Magus and everyone will bow down to me, the old one was a mere incompetent leader that was only ruining and delaying everything, from now on I will put new orders and I won't be having to do the dirty work anymore, let them die serving me, damn them... Incompetent, the intention was exactly that, they should survive and that cause a huge separation, now they are scattered and still the grouped are where I wanted them to be " Said Daryl, with the legs crossed in the throne where then called a servant.
The servant was cleaning all the dirt of the blood on the corridor that was, where then he was leaving, the Cavendish was delighting with the power in hands and was already sending new orders, asking to call for some of the soldiers to accomplish a mission that would be made of attack, just to be able to start the beginning of a new era, the soldiers soon appeared, she said for them to give a good spy on the Cavendish mansion and from there they left, besides giving orders to kidnap a witch in specific that she saw giving a little highlight of the ones that ended up escaping.
The cultists are having very evil plans around the witches, but they weren't expecting this radical change for which they didn't even notice the change to the new Pulcher Magus, who murdered the old one to take over and thus become the leader of the whole cult after proving how cunning she can be.
The danger by the presence of Daryl Cavendish in power is something alarming to the witches who have no idea that it had happened, even more so that she intends a much bigger plan of risk not only of the witches but worldwide.
See you, evil witches...
