"Witches don't exist, huh?"
I could feel the aura of smugness emanating from that child of mine, quick to point out what she probably thought was hypocrisy.
"Trust me, I understand, Li, but Mom needed to hide the fact you are a witch. Otherwise really bad stuff would have happened."
She gave me her back, throwing a temper tantrum.
"I'm not listening! Mom is a liar!"
I stomped the ground, creating a huge fissure in it, making her jump out of fear.
"No, you're the one who needs to listen, young dy. I'm not kidding around this time. Some very bad people are capturing mystical beings left and right. I won't always be next to you, so I'd rather you learned to defend yourself since you have the means to."
"A-alright, I understand, Mom..."
I went on to teach her the very basics like feeling the flow of karmic energy in one own's body.
As she was never actually brought up like I was, she had trouble understanding at the start but she she got more and more of a grasp on it as the months passed.
Sometimes I even sent her on errands for me, that I superivised watching in the distance of course but her talent is astonishing.
In just 7 months, she could fully use the magic that was coded into her genetics.
So far, she only knows how to manipute space but sooner or ter, the other side of her magic will show itself.
Her magic isn't spatial magic after all. I remember it clearly, the day she was born. On that day, she managed to freeze time.
It could also be possible that it was a very specific application of spatial manipution she isn't aware of.
"I'll call it Time/Space Magic."
"Are you talking about my spells, Mom?"
When she entered highschool, she was already a full fledged witch. At this point, she could protect herself.
Even though I'm worried, it's far too cruel of me to even think of keeping her caged at home.
However, each time I wave at her like this to say goodbye everytime she leaves for school, I can't help but have a bad feeling.
I should probably go see "her". If there's one thing I know it's that a feeling like this shouldn't be ignored.
My research of this cult that killed my husband were also advancing fine.
"AP______ A___ A ___"
This weird book was given to me by a weird bar dy.
How did she even know I was researching those guys? Not to mention the signs on the wall that ask for too much.
I compiled a lot of my research but I can't come to a conclusion. Thanks to an unfortunate encounter of Li while she was doing my errands, I understand more about this apostle stuff but it's still so weird to me.
There's no way those gods would lend their power that easily to humans. It's way more pusible a force way more powerful than them if forcing them to do so.
Also, what are those bnks and why are the letters written in red here ?
" I don't get it. Why is the little nephilim on those abstracts drawings? Who is that girl with them in the middle holding my Li. Not to mention that symbol in her eyes. This great bck snake, what is it?"
I didn't bring it up in front of the kids because I didn't wanna make them worried over nothing.
However, when a coincidence occurs a second time, it stops being a coincidence.
Still...
The most disturbing part of this by far was the image of my daughter's chest being pierced by a serpent's cw.
"Li... Mom is coming, don't worry..."
I was so focused that I let myself get distracted. This karmic energy I can feel...
Nothing on this mortal world should have that much.
If only when I copied Li's ability with "Knowledge" it functionned as well as hers.
Suddenly, the barwoman I thought about earlier appeared right next to me, feathers spreading everywhere.
"I knew you were the witch's kid but i'm surprised. You appear way softer than what you demeanor may suggest."
"Who are you?"
"Thank you for looking after my kid and teaching her the basics of karma."
Hm?
"Wait? Don't tell me you are..."
"Correct."
"The person I get my drinks from is an angel? The world is full of surprise."
"Unfortunately, we don't have much time to talk. I can't interfere but you can. I'll help you get to them."
