SHE WALKED ALONG THE PATH TO WHERE IT WOULD LEAD HER. THE FULL MOON GAVE OFF PLENTY OF LIGHT TO SHOW THE PATH CLEARLY. SHE COULD FEEL THE COOL SOIL BENEATH HER FEET, AND COULD SEE THE WATER DROPLETS CLINGING TO HER FEET AND CLOAK. IN THE AIR THERE WAS A SENSE OF LAVENDER AND SAGE. TWO FRAGRANCES NOT COMMONLY TOGETHER, AT LEAST NOT THIS FAR INTO THE WOODS. NOW HER CURIOSITY WAS SWHIRLING AROUND AND ALL HER SENSES WERE TELLING HER TO GO BACK, BUT SHE WAS DETERMINED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING.
AS SHE PLUNGED FURTHER INTO THE TREES, A GLOW STARTED TO APPEAR, SHADOWED BY THE TREES AND BUSHES. ON THE FINAL APPROACH SHE COULD SEE IN THE DISTACE A MOST GRAND ALTAR. ON CLOSER INSPECTION SHE FOUND ALL THE NECESSITIES A WITCH WOULD EVER NEED. THERE WAS GOLD, SILVER, MULTIPLE CRYSTALS, MANY HERBS AND SPICES, AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CANDLES. THEY WERE MULTIPLE CANDLES IN ALL SHAPES AND COLORS.
AS SHE STOOD ADMIRING SUCH BEAUTY, A TWIG SNAPPED BEHIND HER. NOT TO BE UNPREPARED SHE SLOWLY REACHED UNDER HER CLOAK AND PULLED OUT A DAGGER, A DAGGER THAT HER MENTOR SAID TO ALWAYS KEEP WITH HER. SHE HELD HER BREATH AS SHE FELT THE BEING GROW CLOSURE.
"PLEASE DO NOT BE FRIGHTED", A HUSKY VOICE SPOKE.
"WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON NOT TO?', SHE SPOKE STERNLY BRACING HERSELF FOR A FIGHT
"I PROMISE YOU NO HARM, I BUILT THIS ALTAR SO IT COULD ATTRACT BEAUTIFUL CREATURES LIKE YOURSELF." HE SPOKE
"AND AFTER YOU'VE GOT YOUR BEAUTY, WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON DOING?" SHE ASKED WITH A SMALL SENSE OF CURIOSITY
SHE TURNED AROUND TO FACE HIM AND NO ONE WAS THERE, THEN SHE QUICKLY TURNED BACK TO ONLY BE NOSE TO NOSE WITH HIM. SHE COULD TELL EVEN WITH HIS HOOD PULLED OVER THAT HE IS HANDSOME YOUNG MAN. SHE REACHES TO MOVE IT AND GRABS HER HAND VIOLENTLY, AND AT THAT MOMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE SHE FELT FEAR.
