Magic Doers- Part 2
“So, what kind of creatures are you? Elves, maybe?” the woman questioned after they had walked to the side of a dirt road leading out of town.
“I think we should be asking you the same question. What was that thing?” Dru demanded.
“Perhaps a few new magic doers? There haven’t been any in the last century though.” the woman said to herself, not hearing a word the other woman had said. Dru sighed in exasperation, and grabbed the woman by her shoulders, forcing her to face the two Americans.
“What is going on?” she asked again, and the woman studied the two for a moment.
“That was a Red Cap, a malevolent being that uses the blood of its prey to dye its hat, hence the name. They typically live in the castles of England and Scotland, but one must have been sent after me specifically.” she explained.
“You’re telling me there are real life monsters? No, no that can’t be it. Did you drug us or something? Is this a hallucination?” Dru demanded again.
“No, this is not a hallucination. There are creatures in this world that most could only fathom in their worst nightmares. There is magic as well. That is my part in all of this: I’m a sorceress.” she said, and the two stared at her, dumbfounded.
“Prove it.” Charlie said, and the woman shrugged. She walked a few yards down the road, then turned and dramatically threw her hands up.
“Ehediad!” she exclaimed, and suddenly rose into the air, at least ten feet, before carefully descending until she had touched the ground again. With a small curtsy, she then returned back to Dru and Charlie, who were completely floored.
“Are you convinced now?” she asked them.
“Alright, let’s say I believe you. Why did no one else seem to notice anything that just happened?” Dru asked.
“In the past, humans believed in magic and could see it just as easily as we can see each other. However, after some unsavory attacks on my kind and other friendly creatures, like the Salem Witch Trials, for instance, the most powerful sorcerers in the world came together and collectively cast a spell that made sure that no one with human blood could see magic again. It took a little while to completely set in, but by the 18th century we were finally safe. I won’t pretend I know why you two can see me and the other beings of the magical world, but as far as I know no one else should be able to. It is better they don’t see the creatures that have inhabited this earth longer than they have.” she said.
There were a few minutes of silence before Dru spoke up, saying to herself, “This is insane. None of this can be real.”
The woman gave her a sympathetic look. “I understand that this is a lot for you. I remember when the magical world first interfered with my life.” she said, a melancholy look in her eyes, and Charlie stepped forward slightly.
“When was that? Were you born human, or born a sorceress?” he asked.
“I was born human, like most magic doers. When I was about nineteen, my father was killed by a Black Shuck, an evil black dog with glowing red eyes who dooms anyone who looks at them to die within the year. I sought out the nearest magic doer, and convinced them to teach me, so I could learn magic and save others from the fate my father suffered.” the woman explained.
“Well, I suppose I’ve kept you from your vacation long enough. I must be going. Goodbye.” she said suddenly, and began to walk away down the road.
Charlie and Dru turned at each other, looking to see what the other one wanted to do.
“You want to ask her a bunch more questions, don’t you?” Charlie asked his girlfriend, who looked guiltily back to the woman, and he sighed, but smiled anyway.
“Alright, let’s hurry then.” he relented, and the two quickly chased after the woman.
“Wait up!” Dru called, and the woman turned to face them when they finally caught up.
“You said your father saw the dog, but humans couldn’t see magic by the 18th century. That means you would have to be at least…” Dru questioned, and Charlie and the woman watched her do the math in her head, using her fingers to count. “At least 400 years old!” she finally cried, and the woman smiled a little.
“397 actually. I was born in the year 1619.” she responded, and Charlie stared at her with his mouth agape as Dru seemingly gave up hope of making sense of the woman.
“Are you immortal?” Charlie asked quietly.
“For the most part, yes. I became a sorceress when I was twenty years old, and I only appear to have aged a few years since then. In another 400 years I may only appear to be thirty.” the woman explained.
Dru, who had since sat on the ground from the shock of these new world views, muttered to herself, “Ok. So you’re an immortal sorceress, magic and all that is real, and for some reason Charlie and I can see magic even though we’re humans, who shouldn’t be able to.”
“Why was that monster attacking you anyway? You seem like a sorceress of good.” Charlie asked, and the woman gave a more genuine smile.
“Thank you; I try to be anyway. The Red Cap was sent by an adversary of mine, another sorceress who uses dark magic. She is in the process of reversing the spell keeping humans from seeing the magical world, and she knows I’m coming to stop her.” she explained.
“Why would she do that?” Dru asked, and the sorceress shrugged.
“Power, I assume. Most humans would panic if they suddenly found out the state of their world, and she would use that to her advantage, seizing control.” she explained.
She paused for a moment, considering something, then looked to Charlie and Dru.
“You know, maybe you could be some help to me.” she said, and they stared at her. “There are very few sorcerers left in the world, most of them in hiding. I am one of the only left who can fight her, and since you two can also see the magical world, and already know about her plans, I would like to ask you to come with me and stop her.” she said carefully, and Charlie seemed apprehensive of the offer while Dru looked curious.
Upon seeing her expression, he turned her around so that he could talk to privately.
“I don’t know Dru, who knows how long this would take? Our trip’s only a week long, and we don’t have the money to travel around with reckless abandon.” he said worriedly, and suddenly the sorceress spoke up from behind them.
“You won’t have to worry about money for travel. I have spells that can transport us across oceans safely, and I know the other sorceress is here in Europe anyway. As for the length of your trip, if all goes smoothly, we should be able to arrive at her hiding place today and hopefully have it over and done with by tomorrow. All I need is a little help.” she said, and the humans looked at each other again.
“We’ll have a chance to save the world, Charlie. How many people can say that?” she said excitedly, and he finally sighed, smiled, and nodded.
“Why not?” he agreed, and the sorceress smiled at them, her face lighting up, making her look slightly younger.
“Excellent. Why don’t we get going?” she said, and the three began walking down the dirt road.
“So, where are we going? Not that this road isn’t lovely.” Dru asked after a while of walking.
“There’s a forest nearby that’s a good conductor of magic. Transporting to our location will require as much natural power as I can get, along with my own.” the sorceress answered. Then she paused slightly, and looked back while they kept walking.
“I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced yet. My name is Rhiannon.” she said, and the couple looked at her.
“Hree-ann-on?” Charlie repeated, and she nodded.
“It’s Welsh.” Rhiannon explained, and Dru nodded in sudden understanding.
“So that’s what you and the Red Cap were speaking, and the dialect of your accent, too.” she figured, and the sorceress nodded.
“Well, I’m Charlie, if you haven’t realized already, and this is my girlfriend, Dhruvi.” Charlie said in return, and Rhiannon gave Dru and odd look.
“I’m Indian American, and my parents are from India, so it’s Hindi. Dru’s just a nickname.” Dru explained, and Rhiannon nodded.
“I’ve been to India in my travels once or twice. The culture is one of my favorites. Many good sorcerers have come from India as well.” she said fondly, and they suddenly found themselves in the middle of the forest they had been traveling too. Rhiannon made her way to a nearby clearing, where a small ring of rocks was formed in the middle.
“Join hands with me. Don’t let go, or it’s quite possible you’ll be stranded somewhere along the way.” she instructed, and the two humans nervously each grabbed one of her hands, and then each other’s.
Rhiannon inhaled deeply, then tipped her head up, eyes closed, like she was praising someone above.
“Cariwch ni i Gastell Aberystwyth. Cludiant.” she said, and Charlie and Dru were aware of the wind suddenly picking up around them.
There was a sound like whispers on the air, growing louder as the wind grew, and the couple shut their eyes tightly against the noise. Then there was a loud rushing sound, a pop, and then silence.
