This is the third Chapter I've written today.. 22/12 (Thats Day, Month). It's not a majorly long one, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Getting back to more Mildred & Hecate next chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 29: The Tale of Heros..

The last thing Mildred had expected was an assembly by the Greats of the Magical Community! It's the last thing anyone had expected. No one knew they were coming.. The School was a buzz all the way to the Hall. Infact, Mildred doesn't think there's a single member of the school not here to hear this.. They'd listened to Rothbarts speech with close attention. He may be an old fart, but just him just being here was comforting and inspiring. Then Elvira practically skipped to the front of the stage. She looked so… Warm.

Light blonde hair in an elaborate Updo, Blue eyes shining brighter than a star in the night, and her smile making everyone feel as if they'd always known her. "It was a cold and chilly January Night Nineteen years ago.. Walking across a scorched grass patch in France was the Brilliant Lady Agnas.. Smart and Cunning, able to quickly come up with any strategy with her Specialised Chanting magic.."

Her hands waved in stylized exaggeration as she set the scene. "The Delightful Lady Deirdre, With her broom at the ready, and her wind magic ready to sail them to victory.. The Amazing Lady Juniper, With her Potions, ready to control any water that dares comes close to her!"

She Jumped down from the Stage to become one with the student body. "The Spectacular Lady Cordelia, ready to cause an explosion at a moment's notice! The Beautiful Lady Esmeralda, prepared to transform into any beast needed.."

Mildred could hear Ethel telling Drusilla that's where Esme got her name from.. "The Stunning Lady Farina…" She gestured to the witch behind her. "Ready to burn down any who stood in our way! The Kindhearted, if I do say so myself, Lady Elvira.. Ready to heal any fallen comrade!"

Mildred made a mental note to ask Hecate about their specialised magic, it sounded rather interesting.. And may be a route mildred could take in the future.. If Hecate allowed her, that is.

"Accompanying these witches.. Was Rothbart Rowbane.." She Pointed to the Wizard behind her with gusto. "And Isaac Hardbroom.." The Hall went dead quite as eyes suddenly shot to the Potions Mistress. Mildred supposed most knew him as Isaac the Powerful. Not really by his last name.

Whispers of 'no way..', 'do you think they're related?' and 'i didnt know she had family' could be heard by Mildred. This whole thing happened before any of them were born.. The Oldest Child in School was only Sixteen..

"This group of exceptional witches and wizards were sent on a task.. To find and Neutralise the Rogue wizard Gwydion!" Elvira let out her best evil laugh, causing giggles throughout the hall.

"We Evacuated a Coven hiding out there before The Rogue came.. In the first Ten Minutes, through lightning, blasts of power and pure will.. He took out Four witches.. Killed them dead on the spot.." Her Voice cracked as she spoke about the tale, most likely missing her Coven. "I looked him dead in the eyes.."

She gave the students around her a beady eyed look as she began walking like some strange lizard person up the aisle. "He was no man any longer.. His eyes black at night.. His hands mutated with long gross nails.. " She wiggled her fingers in front of her to make a point..

Mildred had decided she liked Elvira. She brought life to this dusty old hall. Her story brought hope to the students. And an interest in history Mr Rowan-webb could never inspire..

"As I looked at him, he shot off two long blasts of power, Injuring two of my coven members.. I ran to aid them, listening to him as he let out the most ghastly of laughs.." She had the students at the edge of their seats by this point.. Most students knew the tale, but hearing it from here was like living through it..

"Barty and Issac covered me while I attempted to heal Farina and Esmerelda.. We were dropping like flies, only the three of us left.. And two on the verge of death!" She practically shouted death, making the students jump.

"In the end.. Barty and myself carried the other two witches out.. While our dear friend Isaac stayed behind.. The last thing we heard was him casting the Ultima Magik.." Gasps could be heard, the spell had a reputation of being deadly and painful it seemed. "As we were escaping, we saw the explosion go off, rattling every tree around us.. Isaac the Powerful had won, at a deadly cost.. Lady Esmerelda would soon join him, her injuries far too great.."

Elvira ended with a dramatic pose head bowed, letting her story and words seep in. After a moment she walked back to her spot by the other witch, her sad smile aimed at the students.

Isaac was basically Mildreds Uncle.. It was nice to get to know him in some form.. She'd learned he was kind, and willing to do whatever it took to help others. That's the kind of Magic user Mildred wanted to be.. Like Isaac and Hecate, she wanted to do what was best for the Magic community.. In sudden realisation, Mildred knew exactly what she wanted to be..
