Flashback

It was many years ago before Jennifer was born, her mother Selene had just completed her witch training in the Silver Circle coven with her best friend Demetria, they were 18 years old.

Demetria and Selene were both divinity witches, they both had the spirit element. Demetria wanted more from her powers, she had the teleportation gift, and Jennifer's mother, Selene had the healing gift.

Demetria had no interest in joining the bureau of witchcraft and wizardry, it's an organization that writes the laws of right and good, to guide all witches to keep the balance of nature untainted.

It was Selene's dream to use her healing gift to help the world, heal the sick and expel evil forces. Demetria found it boring and wanted to utilize her powers to make humans serve witches and build an empire where witches won't have to hide who they are.

Demetria believed it was ridiculous to hide from the humans like they're afraid of them when they can control humans and make them do their bidding.

Demetria delved into dark magic, seeking ways to maximize her powers to the fullest, over the years she secretly practiced dark magic, it corrupted her.

Demetria managed to get her hands on a dark spellbook that talked about the blood moon ritual.

The blood moon ritual is a dark ritual that unlocks dimensions of evil forces. The ritual requires a huge sacrifice, the souls of five witches, one from each element. To perform this ritual, it has to be on a full moon night at the witching hour.

A summoning symbol has to be drawn, they call it  "The Black Raven" used to summon a demon named Adair, the one performing the ritual will stand at the center of the summoning symbol and cast this spell.

"Magic forces black and white,

Beaching out through space and night,

Be he far or be he near,

Bring me the demon Adair here"

Adair is a demon when summoned he grants one wish to his summoner but Adair is a trickster, trapped in a world in between, rejected on both sides, and when summoned he is given a chance to be free again.

Demetria, greedy for power, wanted to perform the ritual, hunted her kind. No one suspected her until Selene found the dark spellbook in her trunk.

Selene's confused facial expression "Demetria... why do you have this?"

Demetria not knowing what to do or say, knew she has been caught.

Selene opened the book and noticed a folded page, it was the page that had the blood moon ritual.

She gasped and shook her head in disappointment.

"It was you... you're the reason why witches have been missing these past few days, Luna, Ophelia, Cassandra, and Margret.

They all have four different signs, what you need next is a spirit element witch, other than you I'm the only spirit witch... that was why you invited me here..... WHERE ARE THEY??!!" Selene exclaimed in fury.

Demetria paced around the room... looking aggravated, like a piping tea kettle.

"YES!! I'm the one!! I did it and yes I wanted to use you, you are the final ingredient I need, I know it's a tough call but I have to do what needs to be done, as for Luna and the rest, it's too late for them they're all dead!!! And you will be joining them soon"

Demetria attempted a strike attack on Selene but nothing happened, Selene laughed.

"Save your strength, Demetria..."

"What did you do to me, Selene??!" Demetria berated.

"I thought we were friends... best friends, what happened to you Demetria, what has infected you with so much evil?? You deserve to die but I'm not going to kill you, it's not my call..." Selene responded

Demetria tried teleporting but she couldn't, "What's happening to me, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME??!" She cried out.

"Don't bother trying to use your powers Demetria...I knew something was not right when you put a blocking spell on your mind, you have never kept your thoughts a secret from me, why now??  I knew there must be something you were hiding and that's why I slipped witch's bane in your drink earlier this afternoon, you can't use your powers until it wears off and that won't be happening soon, not soon enough for you to escape at least..."

Demetria laughed and clapped her hands.

"I underestimated you, Selene... Bravo!!"

"I alerted the head of the bureau, even before I stepped into this room, I hoped my suspicions were wrong but sadly, they were not... You'll have to pay for your crimes Demetria" Selene said.

Moments after the bureau showed up and seized Demetria.

"This is just the beginning Selene, you haven't seen the last of me" Demetria said with a piercing gaze.

Years went by, Selene got married, she fell in love with a non-magical man but unfortunately, he was an alcoholic. He died months after Selene conceived.

Three years after Selene gave birth to Jennifer, Demetria had a perfect escape plan.

To contain Demetria, they had to imprison her in a crypt, it's a state of a magically induced coma, where one will have no connection with the physical or even be conscious of the life they have.

What they did not know was that Demetria has mastered the art of divination, she can cast a spell even when unconscious, they underestimated her. 

Over the years of being imprisoned in her void mind, she practiced, failed so many times because her body was useless to her.

Demetria then thought of one method, dangerous but might be her only way out, she summoned Adair... Again.

"Adair... demon of the night, stealer of light, the enemy of right and good... Come to my aid"

Adair responded.

"You summoned me once but didn't keep your end of the bargain, why do you think you deserve my assistance"

"I know I failed you before but I promise it shall not repeat itself, release me from this hold and I shall do your bidding for all eternity... We have the same goal, I'm thirsty for revenge against the "Silver Circle" they all betrayed me, kept me in this tomb of torture" Demetria cried out

"But I can not help you... Even I am a prisoner like you... I have no power on the physical unless I'm given what I'm due"

Demetria gave a sinister smile.

"There is a way we can both escape, we just have to work together"

"Go on..." Adair replied

"I have a body I can't get to, my powers are not strong enough to break away from this mind cage, you are powerful enough to overcome it, I need your powers, you need my body, I permit you to possess me, together we'll be unstoppable, the world will be under our feet, it's a win for us both" Demetria cajoled.

"I accept!!! Let it be done"

With Adair's powers combined with hers, she was able to escape from the crypt.

Possessed by a demon she became unstoppable, shot lightning and fire from the tips of her fingers, a mere gaze of hers caused things to levitate on their own even without her casting a spell and her teleportation powers became faster, almost like she could be in multiple places at once.

She attacked and killed every witch in the Silver Circle coven, anyone that tried to stop her died a horrible death.

Her main goal was Selene and fortunately for Selene, she was not in the coven that day.

She cast a locator spell to find Selene, she found out that Selene moved and is living in a city miles away.

"I'm coming, Selene..."

Meanwhile, Selene was in a grocery store, she felt something bad was happening, her instincts are never wrong, an evil force was in the air.

Selene hurried home, went to her meditation room to cast a premonition spell.

The premonition spell only works with divinity witches using a Jade crystal, the premonition spell can only be used once a year, it's a spell that reveals what happens to you in the future, like hours ahead.

They cast the premonition spell holding the Jade crystal in their right hand, the crystal then reveals the effect of the spell.

Selene held the Jade crystal in her right hand standing before a mirror and chanted.

"Spirits of  Time,

Let the future be told,

Reveal to me,

What fate has planned,

Show me the moments,

Before they unfold,

From the Jade crystal,

Which my right-hand holds"

Selene was terrified by what she saw, Demetria had escaped from the crypt, the crystal revealed the bargain she made with Adair but Selene had a plan.

Immediately she called her sister, Celia.

"Hello" Celia answered

"Listen to me Celia, something terrible has happened, I can't explain much but I need you to listen to me, don't ask any questions, just do as I say... Look after Jenny for me, keep her powers locked until she's old enough, I do not want her exposed to this world... it's not safe anymore, she's in school... meet me there in exactly 10 minutes, not even a second longer, danger is coming"

Celia takes a few seconds before saying anything.

"Yes sis..." she said and breathed out heavily.

In five minutes they were at Jenny's school, Celia was still confused but somehow she understood something horrible has happened but as her sister said, ask no questions.

"Relocate to another city far from here... take this" Selene handed an Emerald necklace to Celia.

"Gift this to her on her sixteenth birthday... it's a talisman of protection, conjured it myself... Keep her safe, you too stay safe, when she's of age, reveal everything to her, train her well... I'm counting on you" Selene cried.

"Selene talk to me... what is going on?" Celia cried as well

"There's no time to explain... just do as I said!! I mean it!!!" Selene strictly instructed.

Selene came closer to her daughter, "Listen to your Aunt Celia okay? You're going to be a great witch someday... I know it, Mum loves you"

Jenny started crying, "Mummy let's go home..."

"Celia remember everything I told you, I wish I had more time, so long sis, remember... As above... So below" Selene said making a witch sign gesture with her hand, exchanging her last pleasantries using their covens motto.

Selene knew Demetria was coming for her so she prepared herself to face her, she went to a far place away from mere humans, a beach far from civilization.

She waited for Demetria and as Selene expected Demetria appeared, full of rage and hate and hunger for revenge.

"We meet again Selene, surprised to see me?... I told you... you have not seen the last of me, all these years, wasting away in the crypt all because of you... the Silver Circle treated me like garbage, they got what they deserved and so will you" Demetria lamented.

Selene had prepared "The black Raven symbol" waiting for the witching hour to strike, only few minutes left.

"What is this Selene? You think you're always a step ahead don't you, be rest assured today you'll be no more" Demetria threatened.

"Yes Demetria... you're right, today I shall be no more, along with you... Or should I say both of you" Selene said placing emphasis on the word "both".

"I know what you did Demetria... but I won't let you have your way... not when I'm still breathing" Selene bragged.

"Then I have to make sure you breath stops!!!!" Enraged Demetria attacks Selene with lightning from her hands but a shield blocks it, it won't hold for long.

"You coward!! Let down this force field and face me!!" She keeps throwing lightning to weaken the force, the force field got weaker.

The witching hour is at hand, Selene knew she bound her soul with Adair's... the blood moon ritual wasn't complete before but she has come to finish it... with her own blood.

She summoned the angel of death to take her life in exchange for a wish from Adair, he is bound to obey. Demetria never thought Selene will do that or even think towards that direction, even she herself didn't consider that.

The moment Demetria realized what Selene was trying to do, she started hitting faster and harder. Selene wasted no time, she finished summoning the angel of death.

"Spirit of air, sand and sea,

Convert to set the angel free,

In the wind, I send this rhyme,

Bring death before me,

Before my time"

It was too late now... Adair has been summoned to grant Selene's wish, her last wish. In this case Adair is also Demetria.

Demetria was no longer in control of her newly found powers, the force field broke but it has served it's purpose.

Using Demetria's body, Adair spoke.

"You summoned me... I am here, make your wish, you can wish to live again and be with your daughter, join us and the world will be at your feet" Adair cajoled.

"Leave this world, you and your vessel and never ever return" Selene responded.

"So be it!"

Selene fell and few seconds later she was dead, Demetria and Adair we're both condemned to oblivion for all eternity. Selene succeeded in saving humanity but at a terrible cost, her life.
