Crow With No Name Part 8

#Wss366 Aline/Align #MastoPrompt Gloat

As the chanting ceased, the pentagram flared, and the strange, almost violet light surged. Rising first to her hands and then sweeping out toward me, the light coated my body and hers.

I screeched as an almost electrical energy pulsed along every nerve.

“Holy… The swear word I wanted to use refused to come out of my mouth, so finished with “Moly!”

Then the light and energy subsided leaving behind a residue of that unheard melody that had drawn me here, emanating from the woman. Its calm notes assured me she was safe, and I flew to her shoulder.

“I see our auras #align,” she said. “I can’t believe this actually worked!”

“You're a knob witch, aren’t you?” I said. “Ack, ack, ack.” I shouldn’t #gloat, but I’m funny.

She shook her shoulder until I stopped laughing and then said, “Well, this is the first magicy magic I have done. I mostly do divinations, charms, and potions, but I’m good at those.”

Then, maturely, she continued, “We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. Shall we start again?”

Very cliché, I thought, but decided I didn’t want to get shaken again.

“I’m Sumika and am a novice witch. What is your name?”

I thought and thought and finally answered, “I can’t remember.”
