Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

A chill runs down Cassandra’s back when she turns to see the sinister smile on the demon's face. Again she has to control her fight or flight response and her blood runs cold as the demon begins to speak to her in a deep gravelly voice.

Demon: I don’t appreciate being trapped Witch!

Cassandra ignores the demon. First rule of banishment is not to acknowledge the evil spirit. She swallows the lump in her throat and begins the incantation.

Cassandra: Regna terrae cantate Deo tuo laudat, Cernunnos. ( Kingdoms on earth, sing unto God your praises, Cernunnos.)  Demon: So ruuude. First you trap me then you ignore me. And here I was hoping we could be friends. Cassandra:  Regnum in terris, cantare in laudem Aradia deam vestram. (Kingdoms on the earth, sing on praises to goddess Aradia.)

The demon walks back and forth inspecting the circle. It stops to sniff the air and opens its mouth as if to taste the air.

Demon: Mmmm. Your magic tastes wild. *laughs* You’re barely off the wand. If the bible thumper and his God couldn’t get rid of me what makes you think you and your Goddess can?

Cassandra stumbles on her words then starts over and repeats the first two verses again.

Demon: Tsk tsk. Careful witchy. You don’t want to lose your nerve. Cassandra:  Exorciza omnis spiritus immundi hoc est, omnis satanica potestas, quae est, omnis impetum ab adversario sumitur ab inferno. (Cast out every spirit that is impure, every power that is satanic,every attack from an adversary from hell. )    Demon: Witchy. Come now we don’t have to be enemies. We can be real good friends. I can show you things you’ve never dreamed of. All you have to do is let me in.

Cassandra continues the incantation doing her best to block out the demon’s words. The idea of letting that thing possess her is not appealing.

Demon: So young and inexperienced. You have no idea of the potential you have. How powerful you can be. You can have whatever you desire. Don’t let all that untapped power go to waste. Cassandra:Omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Libera nos ab meo insidias diaboli. ( Every legion, every diabolical sect and every congregation. Deliver us my Lord from the snares of the devil.)  Demon: Hear me witch. I am offering you your greatest desires. Everyone has that itch they just need to scratch. Let me help you scratch that itch, Itchy Witchy.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

As soon as Alex is done setting the table he hears Genesis come out of her bedroom and approach the dining room. He turns and stares at her in admiration.

Genesis: Like what you see?

Alex keeps an appreciative look on his face as she walks towards him. He puts his arms around her and brings her to him.

Alex: Yes. You look beautiful.  Genesis blushes: Thank you. I don’t feel as frumpy as I did earlier. Genesis looks down at the table. Genesis: So what’s for dinner chef?

Alex pulls her chair out and lets her sit before taking his. He is eager for her to try his dish.

Alex: I made beef skewer brochette with veggies. I thought it would go well with the salad you made. Genesis: This looks and smells amazing. I can’t wait to try it. Alex and Genesis begin eating. When Genesis takes her first bite she makes a moaning sound. She looks at Alex and notices his smirk. Genesis: What? This is delicious!  Alex: I’m glad you like it but that noise you’re making is turning me on. Genesis: Calm down stud. I’m just expressing how delicious this is. How did you learn to cook like this? Alex: My mom and dad were always busy with their careers, so Cass and I had to fend for ourselves most of the time. I decided to learn to cook because I was getting tired of eggs and sandwiches. Cass taught me some gourmet dishes, and I picked up a few things from the cooking channel. Genesis: Maybe you should teach me. The only thing I managed to master is pasta and pancakes. Alex: I like pancakes.  Genesis: Since you made dinner, I can make you breakfast in the morning.  Alex: Sure. Sounds good. Genesis: I really appreciate you cooking dinner.  Alex: No problem and thank you. Genesis: What are you thanking me for? Alex: For not making me eat those lamb chops. Genesis laughing: You’d really have eaten them if I’d asked to? Alex: I would have tried my best.  Genesis: That’s sweet, but that mess belonged in the trash. I will redeem myself with pancakes.

Alex and Genesis continue eating and chat about they’ve been up to all week.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Cassandra continues chanting the incantation feeling a shift in the room as the demon weakens. The demon desperately trying to stay on this plane switches tactics.

Demon talking in the girls voice: Please stop. You’re hurting me.

Cassandra is startled when she hears the girl’s pitiful cry but this time she doesn’t lose her concentration. She becomes more determined to free the girl and send this demon back to wherever it came from. 

Cassandra: Audite me! In omnium sanctorum eius, Deus est mirabilis. (Hear me! In all his saints, God is wonderful.) Demon using the girl’s voice: Don’t! You’re hurting me. Please. I allowed the demon to possess me. I want the demon to stay. 

Cassandra takes a final look at the demon as she is about to say the last of the incantation. The look on her face tells the demon that it is not frightening her but  only making her angry. 

Demon: *demon voice laughing* Did I hit a nerve? Not falling for my tricks itchy witchy. Cassandra: Alterum ipse dominabitur populo Cernunnos est fortitudo ejus. (Cernunnos Himself is the one with power over his people, he is the strength of his people.)

The demon cries out in anger as it feels its hold on this plane slip.  

Demon: Banish me all you want witch bitch but I’ll find a way back... I will .. be baaaack!

Cassandra: Benedictus sit a Deo, et Patri nostro gloria esto.( Blessed be to God and Glory be to our Father.) The possessed girl falls to her knees. Cassandra: Benedictionem deae Matris decus! (Blessing to the Goddess, Mother of all glory!)

As soon as Cassandra says the final verse of the incantation, black smoke pours out of the girl. A portal opens up sucking the black smoke into its mouth. Seconds later the portal closes with a pop after taking all the black smoke with it. Cassandra falls to her hands and knees feeling drained as she’s ever been. She sees the girl laying on her side unconscious.

Cassandra: Mom!

Bella and her team come rushing in. Bella takes the girl’s pulse and confirms she is alive then tells her team to take her. Bella approaches Cassandra as she stands up giving her a hug then takes her face in her hands.

Bella: You were so brave. I am so proud of you. You saved that girl’s life. Cassandra: I am glad the girl is okay but I hope to never have to do that again. Bella: Yes let’s hope you don’t. I will have to go with my team to finish things up will you be okay? Cassandra: Yes. I am going to clean up then maybe burn some sage. Bella: Okay I’ll see you back at home.

Cassandra says okay then Bella exits the room leaving Cassandra to clean up.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Cassandra starts picking up her candles and removing the circle she made as Father Benson enters the room. She asks Father Benson if it would be okay for her to do a smudging with sage to rid the room of any negative energy left behind by the demon’s presence and he agrees. Father Benson decides to do his own blessing in the room as well. After they are done they aren’t much for conversation. Not because they hardly know each but because they are both exhausted. Cassandra says her goodbyes to Father Benson then makes her way outside the church. Just as she steps outside she is greeted by two sims. Cassandra can tell right away they are witches.

Cassandra muttering under her breath: Good Goddess what now. Violet: Merry met Cassandra. I was hoping we could have a few moments of your time. Cassandra: Can we reschedule this meet and greet for another time? I am very tired.  Phoebe: Facing down a demon will do that to you. Cassandra: You’re from the BSI. Violet: Yes. I am Violet and this is Phoebe.  Cassandra: You already know who I am so what do you want? Violet: We need to know exactly how you banished the demon and everything the demon said.

Cassandra knowing she can’t refuse the BSI begins telling the witches everything that happened starting with when she first saw the possessed girl  and ending when Bella’s team left with the girl.

Cassandra: Please tell me there aren’t more of those things roaming around? Violet: We never know for sure but it is what we are here for. I wish we were here earlier to help but we had more pressing matters to deal with and there are so few of us witches willing to work with the BSI.

Hearing this gives Cassandra little comfort.

Phoebe: You are very brave to face the demon alone.  Cassandra: I do not scare easy.  Phoebe: It takes great skill to do this by yourself. I must ask who taught you to banish a demon? Cassandra: I acquired a book on demonology through the Goddesses’ will and that is why I believe I was meant to help the girl. I don’t mean to be short but I’d like to go home and rest. Is there anything else? Violet: Yes. Here is our card. Call that number if you encounter anything like this or if you’re interested in joining. The BSI could use more witches like you. We won’t take up any more of your time. Blessed be Cassandra. Phoebe: Blessed be. Cassandra: Blessed be.

The witches walk away as Cassandra looks down at the card but when she looks up the witches are gone. Too tired to walk home and not patient enough to wait on an Uber, Cassandra goes to a secluded area at the back of the church and pulls out her trusty broom. Feeling very drained she doesn’t trust herself enough to try to transportalate home so she decides to fly home. Having the ability to fly even if it is on a broom is just one of the things Cassandra loves most about being a witch.  

Cassandra finally arrives home landing safely on her roof and dismounts her broom. When she goes inside she opens a bottle of vino and runs a bath. Being in the presence of a demon made her feel tainted and unclean. She adds purifying oils to her bath and soaks in the tub for a while. When she is good and pruney Cassandra gets out then changes into her bed clothes. Finally the exhausted witch climbs into bed falling asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙 

While Cassandra is getting ready for bed, her best friend Jenny calls her. They talk for awhile and eventually the conversation turns to Jenny’s upcoming nuptials.

Jenny: I can’t believe the wedding is less than a year away. You know of a spell that will guarantee it won’t rain on my wedding day? Cassandra laughs: I’ll look in to it. I’m guessing that means you want an outdoor wedding? Jenny: Yes with plenty of flowers. Flowers in your hair! Flowers everywhere!

Cassandra smiles feeling happy for Jenny when she hears the joy and excitement in her voice.

Cassandra: I’ll be sure to stock up on antihistamines before then. Jenny: Probably a good idea. Oh and to appease Travis’ Mom we’re considering combining the traditional ceremony with the handfasting ceremony which will all take place outside the church. Cassandra: Will Travis’ mom be okay with that? Jenny: I hope so but if not we’ll just have them separately. Cassandra: What are the plans after the wedding? Jenny teasingly: Uh, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this but the honeymoon usually comes after the wedding.  Cassandra: Har har. Real funny. I meant where will you live since you two are currently not living together?   Jenny: Oh, we really haven’t discussed it yet, but I can’t imagine selling Grammy’s cottage. My house is paid for and Trav’s renting so I'm hoping he’ll want to move in with me. Cassandra: When that happens, we might have to find a new place to do our late night bonfire rituals.

*beep beep*

Cassandra: Hey l need to let you go. My mom’s beeping in. Jenny: Sure! Blessed be Cass. Cassandra: Blessed be.

Cassandra switches over to answer her mom’s call.

Cassandra: Hey Mom. Bella: Hello Cassandra, I’m sorry to call you like this but I am in a situation and I can really use your help. Cassandra: Sure Mom what is it? As Bella explains the situation to Cassandra, she begins to feel alarmed and very uneasy.  Bella: So can you did this? If for any reason you don’t think you can I will understand. Cassandra feeling concerned for all parties involved she decides she should at least try to help.  Cassandra: Yes Mom I will help you. Where are you? Bella: I’m at the church in Magnolia Park.

Cassandra tells her mom she’ll be there in twenty minutes and ends the call. Cassandra changes clothes then gathers all the supplies she’ll need. She asks the Goddess for a blessing as she heads out the door uncertain of what she will be walking into.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Cassandra arrives at the church not expecting to see a feathered visitor.

Cassandra: Oh no! No no! She marches up the stairs and stands in front of the bird. Cassandra: You better be here offering guidance or protection instead of a bad omen or so help me I will stuff you and put you on my mantle. Got it birdie? *caw caw* Cassandra: Good! I’m glad we understand each other.

Cassandra feeling like she might have just told the Fates to piss off turns and goes inside the church. As she walks passed the pews she is greeted by a muscular guy wearing an earpiece.

Muscular dude: Are you Cassandra? Cassandra: Yes. Who are you and where’s my mom? Muscular dude: I will take you to her. *pauses* Were you just talking to that bird?  Cassandra: Yeah but it’s fine. We’ve come to an understanding. Muscular dude: Uh, okay please follow me.

Cassandra follows the muscular guy through a secret door in the back of the church down some stairs that leads to the basement where they go through a door into a crowded room. As they enter the room Cassandra sees the muscular guy take post next to an even more muscular guy by a doorway that leads to another room. She takes notice of two sims arguing to her left before she hears her mother approaching her. 

Bella: There you are darling.  Cassandra: Hi Mom. Who are all these sims and why do you look like an extra from the Matrix? Bella:They are with me. I know you probably have questions and I will explain later but we should probably get started. Are you sure you can do this? Cassandra: I will try my best.

The girl who was arguing with blonde guy walks up to them.

Naomi: We’re wasting time. I think we should just end this now by putting a bullet in that thing’s head. Bella: We can’t do that Naomi. She’s an innocent girl and you know we need her alive. Naomi: Whatever. I need some air. 

The girl storms out of the room. 

Bella: Don’t mind her. We’re all a little on edge. None of us have ever encountered anything like this before. Cassandra: The BSI usually handles things like this. Why aren’t they involved?  Bella: My bosses didn’t want the BSI coming in and taking over because they believe the girl might have valuable information that we need. After I saw the condition of the girl and because I could care less about their bureaucratic bullshit, I called the BSI anyway only to be told that the few witches they have on staff are not available. Of course they could not divulge to me why, so I’d hoped bringing her here to Father Benson would help. I thought we were making progress until she started hurting herself. We had to cuff her to the bed and put bandages on her. I’m sorry to drag you into this. I didn’t know of another way. Cassandra: It’s okay mom. I can’t guarantee anything but I will do what I can. Bella: Hopefully, it will be enough. Are you ready to do this? Cassandra: As ready as I’ll ever be. Bella: What will you need us to do?

Cassandra informs her mom of her plan. Bella gives instruction to her team so everyone will know what to do. 

Bella: Alright everyone let's do this. 

Bella goes into the other room with everyone in tow ready to set Cassandra’s plan into motion.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Cassandra follows Bella and her team into the room. Bella’s team take position around the girl on the bed. As Cassandra enters the room she feels a sense of heaviness as if she was being weighed down and notices a strong scent of rotten eggs. She takes a short glance at the girl as she makes low growling noises no sim should be able to make. There is no question the girl on the bed is possessed. Cassandra tries to control her fight or flight response and joins her mom on the right side of the bed as Bella speaks with Father Benson. 

Bella: Father we need you to continue what you’re doing for a little longer if you can. Father Benson: Yes I can but I’m afraid it is not doing much good. Bella: That is fine. We only need you do this long enough for Cassandra to get set up. We really appreciate all your help and letting us use your church. Father Benson: Of course. Saving the girl from this unholy evil is most important. I will continue.

Father Benson continues with the exorcism as Cassandra gets busy setting up. Having read the demon book, she knows exactly what she needs to do. All the time she spent with Hermit memorizing spells and mixing potions has prepared her enough to remember the incantation and construct the proper sigils. She is confident she knows what to do but Cassandra wonders if she is strong enough or powerful enough to send the demon back where it came from. She pushes down her doubts and fears trying to stay focused on helping the girl and not letting her mother down. Cassandra finishes setting up by placing candles all around the circle. She turns to see how tired Father Benson is becoming and how his attempts at the exorcism only seem to be pissing off the demon. Cassandra goes to relieve Father Benson.

Cassandra: You can stop now, Father. I can take it from here.  Father Benson: I feel I have failed. I am ill-prepared for this.  Cassandra: I do not think any of us were prepared this. If it is any consolation, I believe I was meant to help this girl.  Father Benson: I hope you are more successful. May the Watcher be with you. Cassandra:  And may the Goddess be with you.

Father Benson gives Cassandra a small smile and a nod then leaves the room.

When Cassandra lets everyone know she is ready, Bella’s team spring into action. They uncuff the girl and quickly take her from the bed to place her inside the circle. The demon bucks and fights whole time until finally the team get the girl in the circle. They immediately step back and the demon lets out a loud unworldly scream spooking one of the team members. 

Cassandra: Don’t worry. It can’t cross the circle. You all may leave now so I can get started.

Everyone leaves except Bella.

Bella: Are you sure you want to be alone while you do this? Cassandra: Yes. I don’t want that thing taunting anyone. The demon may get desperate and I don’t want anyone to interfere. Once I begin I can’t stop. Bella: Alright if you are sure. We will be within ear shot should you need anything.

Cassandra says okay and Bella leaves the room. Cassandra stills herself and takes in a breath before she turns to face the demon behind her.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

That next evening Alex goes to his girlfriend Genesis’ apartment in San Myshuno. He hasn’t seen Genesis in a week and is excited to finally spend some time with her. He knocks on the door not expecting to see Genesis visibly upset when she answers the door. 

Alex: Babe what’s wrong? I’m just a few minutes late. Genesis: It’s not that. I ruined it! I ruined everything. Alex goes to Genesis to comfort her and gently wipes her tears away.  Alex: What’s ruined? Why are you upset? Genesis: I burned the damn lamb chops. Alex chuckles. Genesis: It’s not funny. Alex clears his throat: I’m not laughing. Let’s see them. Maybe they’re still edible.

Genesis leads Alex to the kitchen to show him her overcooked chops. They stare at the lamb chops a moment before Alex responds.

Alex: We could scrape the burnt part off and try to eat them. Genesis: No. I might as well toss them out. I don’t know what happened. I followed the recipe.

Genesis starts to get upset again. She knows she’s being melodramatic but can’t help feeling upset. Her emotions have been all over the place since she started taking birth control.

Alex: It’s no big deal. We can order in or go out. It will be okay. Genesis: But it's not. I had our night all planned out. I was going to make us dinner then have myself dressed up nice by the time you got here. Now I’m not ready and dinner is ruined. 

Alex turns Genesis towards him and holds her close.

Alex: How about you get changed and I'll make something for dinner? We can still do what you had planned only I’m not going to try to cook something as ambitious as lamb chops.  Genesis: Yeah, I guess lambs chops was a little too ambitious even for me. You really don’t mind making dinner?  Alex: Not at all. I’m not too bad of a cook.  Genesis: Okay. If you’re sure. Alex: I’ve got this. Go change and I’ll get started on dinner.

Genesis smiles and kisses Alex on his cheek then goes to her room. After Alex cleans up he looks around in the refrigerator for dinner ideas. He sees what ingredients are in there and he knows exactly what he’s going to make. Alex begins chopping veggies and gets right to cooking.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Alex meets up with Darien and Jakob at Hooper’s Basketball Park in Newcrest. He’s been good friends with Jakob since Elementary school. Darien is fairly new to Alex’s group of friends. Alex met Darien through his girlfriend Genesis. Genesis’ best friend Kristy went to prom with Darien. Alex and Genesis thought they’d hit it off because they both play soccer. Kristy and Darien had a rocky start, and their relationship is on again off again. Alex hopes they sort out their issues before everyone starts at Foxbury University in the fall. Alex plays ball with the guys for a while then decides to grab a drink to cool off and gets distracted by his phone.

Darien: Dude! You going to keep texting or help me stop Jakie from making this shot? Jakob: Don’t call me that.

Jakob makes the shot.

Jakob: Yeah! Two more for me. Darien: See now Jakie is beating us. Who are you texting anyway? Genesis? Alex: Yeah. We’re making plans for tomorrow night. Darien: You two seem pretty hot and heavy. I hope you guys have sealed the deal with your girlfriends before we go to uni.

Alex keeps texting not paying Darien any mind, but Jakob responds.

Jakob: What’s that supposed to mean? Darien laughs: I can tell by your response that you haven’t but Alex here has.  Alex putting his phone away: What Genesis and I do is no one’s business. Darien: Fair enough but Jakie you better get a move on with Amanda or you’ll end up dumped before uni barely begins.  Jakob: I said stop calling me that shithead and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Darien: Oh no? Do you know how crazy college parties get? Girls go wild when they get to college. We’re free from our parents, on our own for the first time. Time to let loose and have fun. I’m just saying Jakie if you haven’t shown Amanda you’re willing to go all the way with her someone else will. Jakob: Amanda’s different. Darien: Sure. Keep thinking that. I personally can’t wait to start uni. I’m a free agent ready to explore my options. I don’t know why you two tie yourselves down when they’ll be so many girls ready to explore their wild side. Jakob: You are the last sim who should be giving us advice on girls. Should we talk about what happened between you and Kristy? Alex: What happened with you and Kristy?  Darien: I don’t want to talk about it. We’re over and done. I’m moving on. Alex: Okay fine. Are we going to keep talking about our feelings or are we going to finish this game? I’m ready to eat. Darien: Let’s play but I want to make the game more interesting. If you can make this shot from over there food is on me but if you miss you’re buying. Alex: Deal. Pass the ball.

Darien passes Alex the ball. Alex walks past the three pointer line while the guys watch him turn and make the shot.

Darien: Shit! Lucky shot! Best two out of three? Alex: No way. A deal is a deal. Jakob: Yeah, he made it in. You’re buying. Darien: Fine foods on me but you guys better not double up. Alex: Alright let’s go eat. I’m starving. The guys grab their things and start walking out of the court. Darien: Hey, you guys think college chicks like guys with facial hair? I’m thinking about growing a goatee. Alex: You should grow a full beard to cover up that ugly mug.

The guys continue to giving each other a hard time as they go next door to their favorite burger joint.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

The Hermit goes into her room to get ready for bed. Just as she’s about to change, she hears a tinkling bell sound coming from her mirror. She decides to answer knowing there are only a few sims that can contact her. The Hermit sits at her vanity and touches to the mirror to activate the call. She sees it’s her brother Simeon.

Hermit: Brother what do I owe the pleasure of your call? 

Still unused to seeing his sister look so different from when she was a Sage he pauses a moment before responding

Simeon: I thought I’d check in with you and see how you’re doing. How are things in your realm? Have you taken on any new pupils? Hermit: Well yes. I have one witch in training with me as of now. Simeon: I’m glad to hear that. I remember how much you enjoyed mentoring. What kind of pupil is this witch? Does she exude any strong talents?

The Hermit thinks for a moment. She wants to respect Cassandra’s wishes to be a solitary witch and the last thing she wants to do is throw her to the wolves. If her brother suspects that Cassandra had any special talents the Hermit knows that the Sages would want her to continue her training in the Magic Realm but Cassandra is merely an average witch. She tells her brother so.

Hermit: The witch I am training has not shown any exemplary skills. Why do you ask? Is this about the prophecy? Are the attacks getting worse? 

The Hermit thinks about the demon book but dismisses the thought thinking that surely Cassandra has nothing to do with the prophecy.

Simeon sighs: No sister they haven’t escalated. Hermit: Yet it is obvious you are seeking the prophesied one. Simeon: Yes, we are. We think that if we can find the Protector that we can prevent the attacks from worsening. Hermit: You know it is for the Goddess to decide. That which is meant to be will not come to pass unless it is her will. Simeon: Yes, I know, but I still intend to do whatever I can to prevent unnecessary casualties. Will you let me know if you come across any special cases that may have to do with the prophecy? Hermit: Yes brother I will.

They talk a few moments more then Simeon ends the call by touching the mirror. Beside him, he hears Faba scoff.

Faba: You were too easy on her. We should have this new pupil checked out for ourselves.  Simeon: My sister knows how important this is. I believe her. Faba: Of course you do. You’ve always had a soft spot for her even after the chaos she caused.

Faba downs the last of her wine then gets up to pour herself another glass. Simeon watches her knowing that her agitated response is merely due to the stress of the prophecy looming over their heads.

Simeon: I don’t think you need more wine. Faba stops pouring annoyed at what he just said to her. Faba: Excuse me? Simeon comes up behind her and holds her to him tenderly. Simeon: Wine may not be sufficient enough to distract you from our problems but think I know what might. 

Simeon and Faba are not in a relationship, but they do indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. Their duty to the Realm always comes first and they both understand that having a relationship could compromise that. Morgan, on the other hand, is strictly about discipline. He has always been celibate and chooses not to contaminate his body with anything that he deems impure. Being the Sage of untamed magic he feels that practicing complete discipline will help him to better control his magic. Faba and Simeon’s magic does not require such discipline allowing them to give in to their desires. Simeon begins kissing her neck and caressing her body emphasizing his intent.

Faba: Oh, is that so? And what exactly do you have in mind? Simeon turns Faba toward him then begins kissing her. She feels her desire for him rising and kisses him back. Simeon: Stay the night with me and let us forget our troubles if only for tonight. Faba: Very well, I’ll stay but it has been a while. Do you remember our safe word? Simeon: Of course my dear. Forgetting a safe word with you would spell disastrous consequences for me.

Faba laughs and kisses Simeon then leads him to the bed where they proceed to show each other their favorite distractions.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙 Cassandra has been training with the Hermit for several years now. She had no one in her family to teach her nor did she know anyone from the witch world to help her learn to use and control her magik. It took some time for Cassandra to get used to Hermit’s bossy demeanor. At first she saw the Hermit as a crabby old hag but as the years progressed under her instruction Cassandra has learned that the Hermit has a vast knowledge of magiks and has grown to respect the old lady. The Hermit can be direct and short with her at times, but she has come to accept that as her lack of social skills. Being trapped in this realm the Hermit doesn’t interact with many others. It is rare she gets to take in special cases like Cassandra. Cassandra will always be grateful to the Hermit for all her efforts with teaching her to use her magik.

Cassandra arrives at the Hermit’s house. It’s a cloudy day in the Hermit’s realm, but she doesn’t let that deter her mood. She is hopeful the Hermit will teach her a new spell instead of mixing potions. Cassandra sees the old lady watering her plants and approaches her but before she can even get a word out the Hermit interrupts her.

Hermit: Go on in and get started on your potion making. I am almost done. Cassandra says under her breath: Good afternoon to you too.

Cassandra enters the cauldron room and begins her routine. She lights a candle at the altar and asks the Goddess for guidance and patience. She gathers ingredients then begins to practice her potion making. As Cassandra is just about to finish up the potion, she hears the Hermit call her outside.

Hermit: Stop what you are doing and come out here child.  Cassandra: Be right there. 

Cassandra stops stirring with the giant wooden spoon and goes outside. As soon as she steps outside, she sees the Hermit in a rocking chair with two big circles to the left and right of her.

Cassandra: What’s this? Hermit: You are an adept it is time you learn an adept spell. You are going to learn to transportalate. Cassandra excited: What do I need to do? Hermit: Step into that circle and then transport yourself into the other one. You will need to use your magik to push your body into the aether then envision where you want to land.  Cassandra: Okay sounds easy enough.

Cassandra thinks since she already knows how to astral project that this will be a piece of cake. From how comfortable the Hermit is sitting in her rocking chair with a book tells her the Hermit thinks otherwise. Cassandra enters the circle determined to prove her wrong. She stills herself then quickly taps into her magik. That part of herself that has always been there but that she’s only recently discovered. When she first started to learn to tap into her magik it felt so foreign but with all the training she’s been doing it feels natural to her now. She pulls from her magik and tries to push herself up into the aether but everytime she makes an attempt she falls back to the ground where she started. Cassandra continues to do this for several hours. Feeling tired and frustrated with a sore rear, she lets out a loud irritated sigh.

Cassandra: Uh! What am I doing wrong?? Hermit: It is not as easy as it seems, is it? Learning to transport takes a witch longer than a day my dear but you will get there.  Cassandra: I am not ready to give up yet. Just tell me what I’m doing wrong. Hermit: Very well. It seems you are struggling to keep yourself in the aether long enough to land where you intend. Try to imagine you are in a small space as you push yourself up into the aether instead of as you are. You are basically separating your matter into smaller pieces then reforming them on the other end. Cassandra: Oh, that would have been helpful to know before I started.  Hermit: Yes well, I like to see how much you are able to figure out on your own. Try again then we will move on.

Cassandra nods then tries again. She draws from her magic and imagines herself as a ball of light being shot into the aether then bounced back down. This time she does it, and the Hermit quickly gets up from her chair to look for her.

Hermit: Cassandra! Where are you child? Cassandra: Up here! Hermit looks up to see Cassandra on her roof and starts laughing. Cassandra: Not funny. Can you get me a ladder or something? Hermit wiping her eyes: You got yourself up there you can get yourself down. Cassandra: Fine. With all the indignation Cassandra can muster she tries to transportalate again feeling a sense of pride as she hits her mark. Hermit clapping: Very good! Now let us head into the cauldron room and see what you have cooking.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Cassandra and the Hermit have grown closer over the years, and the Hermit has come to trust Cassandra enough to share a secret about her past. Cassandra was surprised to learn the Hermit was once a Sage. Learning this Cassandra gained a newfound admiration for The Hermit. Cassandra enjoys listening to her tell stories of her time in the Magic Realm and she hopes to one day visit. It is an honor to be taught by the Sages and Cassandra feels blessed to be mentored by the Hermit even though she no longer possesses magik of her own. The Hermit is doing the best she can with the circumstances she is given and it is the same thing Cassandra is doing. The Hermit is her only link to the magik world and sadly she knows that her time with the Hermit will evidently end. She hopes to gain as much knowledge from her for as long as she can. Cassandra is determined to show the Hermit her full potential. She will do all she can to continue to impress the Hermit with her abilities and do whatever is asked of her. 

Cassandra enters the cauldron room with the Hermit feeling exhausted. Learning how to transportalate took a lot out of her. The Hermit goes over to the cauldron and inspects it.

Hermit: We can not salvage this. You will have to start a new batch. Cassandra: Can we take a break? I am feeling overcharged at the moment. Hermit: Do you have the potion you were supposed to bring from home? Cassandra: Yes. Right here. Cassandra hands the Hermit the potion. The Hermit looks at it and sniffs it then hands it back to Cassandra. Hermit: Drink this and see how you feel.  Cassandra gladly takes it knowing the potion already works. She drinks it replenishing her needs and instantly feels better. Hermit: Better? Cassandra: Yes much better. Hermit: Now start a new batch and show me exactly how you made the potion. Cassandra empties the cauldron and starts a new batch.

Hermit: What is the most important thing to remember about mixing potions? Cassandra: My intent. Hermit: Yes, that is good to remember with potions and spells in general but also understanding. You must understand how ingredients work together. Putting ingredients together without knowing the proper preparation can be disastrous. For instance...

Before the Hermit could get another word out there is a loud thump behind them. The Hermit turns to see what it is and gasps. She slowly walks toward the book on the floor and stares at it. Cassandra notices the Hermit’s odd behavior and once again stops preparing the potion. She walks toward the Hermit.

Cassandra: What’s this book?  Cassandra bends down to pick it up but the Hermit grabs her arm to stop her. Hermit: Do not touch it. The Hermit lets go of her arm. Hermit: I am sorry child. I am just little surprised to see this book. I have not seen it for quite some time. The only reason I can think of that is has appeared now for you. Cassandra: Me? But why? What is it?  Hermit: I will explain but first I need a cup of tea. Clean up then come inside.

Cassandra says okay. The Hermit picks up the book then leaves Cassandra to clean up. After Cassandra empties the cauldron and puts away the ingredients she goes inside to find the Hermit sipping tea on her couch. Cassandra sits next to her and helps herself to some tea. She stares a the book on the table.

Cassandra: What’s so special about this book? Hermit: It is not just any old book. It is a book on demonology. Cassandra: Demons? But you already taught me about other worldly creatures.  Hermit: Yes but I only taught you the basics about demons. This book dives a little bit deeper than that. I do not usually let anyone leave with my books, but I think you need to take it and study it thoroughly.  Cassandra: Why do you think this book is intended for me? Maybe it just fell off the shelf. Hermit: Oh my child. You know things always happen for a reason. I believe the Goddess wanted you to have it. Cassandra: But demons? Why on the Goddess green earth do I need to study demons? Hermit: That is a good question but one that you and I both know will be answered in time. Now this old lady is tired I am going to turn in. Goodnight Cassandra. Cassandra: Goodnight. 

Cassandra sits on the couch thinking how silly it is to feel uneasy about a book. She finishes her tea then goes to the guest room taking the book with her. She decides to look through it and reads the chapter titles. Chapters on How to Spot a Demon, Am I possessed, and How to Exorcise a Demon. The thought of facing down a demon gives her chills. She puts the book down and gets into bed hoping she doesn’t dream of demons.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

The next evening Cassandra goes to Dorian’s house. She has missed him and has been anticipating his return. Dorian goes out of town on occasion for work. He is a connoisseur of the arts and is asked to critique or assess art for its authenticity. This is the longest he’s been gone, and she is almost giddy when Dorian answers the door.

Cassandra: Dorian! Dorian: Oof! Cassandra jumps on Dorian catching him off guard and they fall to the floor. She laughs then looks in his eyes. Cassandra: Hi. Dorian amused: Hi yourself. Cassandra: I’ve missed you. Dorian smiles: I can tell. I’ve missed you too.  Cassandra doesn’t move. Dorian:Can we get out of the floor, so I can give you a proper kiss? Cassandra: What’s wrong with kissing me now?  Dorian: Nothing but I’d rather kiss the woman I love the way she deserves to be kissed and it’s not on a dirty floor. Cassandra: Since you put it that way okay. 

Cassandra lets Dorian up. Dorian grabs her and brings her close to him. He puts his lips to hers causing a fire to ignite inside her from head to toe. Their kiss deepens sending her synapses firing in all direction. When they finish kissing, she is breathless and feels punch drunk. 

Dorian: Come on. Let’s go upstairs. Cassandra: You read my mind. 

Dorian and Cassandra go to Dorian’s room. Cassandra starts to kiss Dorian again. Dorian kisses her back then stops.

Dorian: Wait. We have plenty of time for that but first I have a surprise for you. I left it for you in the bathroom. Cassandra: Okay it better be worth putting off sex but if there is a person in there you’re out of luck because I don’t share. Dorian amused: That’s good because neither do I. Cassandra goes to the bathroom. A moment later Dorian hears a squeal. Cassandra from the bathroom: Oh my Goddess! It’s gorgeous! Dorian: I take it you like it? Cassandra still in the bathroom: Yes very much! Does this mean we’re going out? Dorian: Yes and this is only part of the surprise. How long until you can be ready? Cassandra: Twenty minutes tops. Are you going to tell me where we’re going? Dorian: No, that will ruin the surprise. Come out whenever you’re ready.

Cassandra says okay. Dorian’s vampire speed allows him to get ready in record time. Twenty minutes later Cassandra emerges from the bathroom smiling wearing her surprise. Even though Dorian really doesn’t need to breathe, he’s still unsure how Cassandra manages to take his breath away.

Dorian: You look beautiful in that dress. Cassandra glides up to Dorian rolling her hips and whispers in his ear. Cassandra: You should see what I am wearing underneath. Dorian growls: Women you are making it very difficult for me not to cancel plans. Cassandra: Good. Dorian touches her face: Patience my love. I promise the wait will be worth it.  Cassandra: Tease. Dorian chuckles: We should go before we are late.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

Dorian takes Cassandra to the Arts Center in Willow Creek. As they are entering the front door Cassandra notices the poster.

Cassandra gasps: We’re seeing Phantom of the Opera?! Dorian: Yes. It’s one of my favorites. Cassandra: Mine too. I should have known by the masks we’re wearing. Dorian: Are you surprised? Cassandra: Yes.   Dorian: Good. I’m glad I can surprise you. 

They go inside. Cassandra starts to go towards the double doors, but  Dorian steers her toward the stairs indicating they have balcony seats. They go  to the balcony and take their seats.

Cassandra excited: I can see everything from up here.  Dorian: First time in the balcony seats? Cassandra: Yes. I like how private it is. Dorian: Me too.

Cassandra looks at Dorian in a seductive way but before she could put any moves on him the lights begin to dim and all attention is on the stage. The play starts, and the couple watch the performance. Dorian loves seeing the emotions on Cassandra face as she watches the play. When the play gets to the part where Christine unmasks the Phantom, he begins to feel uneasy. He wears a mask of his own. Dorian wonders how Cassandra would feel if she ever saw his dark form. Could the woman that he loves also love the monster inside him? The thought that she might not scares him and a vampire who has lived as long as he has does not scare easy. When the play comes to the end the actors take a bow while the audience throws roses on the stage and applaud their performance.

Dorian: Did you enjoy the play? Cassandra: Yes, I did. They did a wonderful job. Dorian: It is still early. Are you hungry? Cassandra: I could eat. Are we heading back to your place for dinner? Dorian: If we went back to my house right now you and I both know we would not be eating. I was thinking of going next door to the French Quarter.  Cassandra teases: Sounds lovely. We should eat something. We might need our strength for what I want to do to you later.

Dorian pleased with her response takes Cassandra next door for dinner. They choose a cozy corner for some privacy and place their orders. Cassandra orders something light so she’s not too full for later and Dorian orders something experimental to hide the fact he’s not actually eating it. When their food comes, Cassandra begins eating while Dorian sips his wine. Dorian almost spits out his wine when he feels Cassandra’s foot go up his leg to his nether regions. He grabs her foot and tells her to behave. She giggles then moans when Dorian begins to massage her foot. She takes her foot back, and Dorian chuckles. After they are done eating Dorian asks Cassandra to dance and she accepts liking the idea of being close to him. They dance until the restaurant is ready to close then go for a walk by the waterfront.  

Cassandra: It is a gorgeous night. Reminds me of our first date. Dorian: I remember. It was the beginning of many amazing nights I’ve gotten to spend with you. I’m a lucky man. Dorian holds her closer as they walk. Cassandra smiles: Thank you for taking me out. I’m having a wonderful time. Dorian: Pleasure is all mine but the night is not over yet.

Dorian stops walking and turns towards Cassandra then goes in for a kiss. He brings his lips to hers kissing her tenderly at first. He deepens the kiss showing Cassandra how much he wants her. He pulls back before the kiss gets too heated.

Dorian: Shall we go? Cassandra: Yes, please let’s do.

Chapter 1 ☀️Sun and Moon🌙

At the Devil’s Playground, Malik and Lilith are having a very different morning. Lilith goes into the playroom finding Malik passed out with his usual band of bar sluts. Seeing him this way she gets pissed. Not because she is jealous, she could care less who he sleeps with; no, she is pissed because Malik is not doing his part in the pact they made to split up Dorian and Cassandra. Malik agreed because he doesn’t like to see his brother happy. Lilith’s reason is purely selfish. She has always had a thing for Dorian. Sometimes the one thing we can not have is that which we desire the most. She has always wanted Dorian and she is used to getting what she wants. Lilith looks down at the threesome then kicks the bed and starts yelling.

Lilith: Okay fun’s over! Get up!

The girls wake up slowly stretching and yawning. Malik is unfazed by the look on Lilith’s face. He scoots to the side table to grab a smoke.

Lilith: You and I need to talk. Blonde: What time is it? Lilith: Be quiet the adults are talking. You can come back when the bar opens.

The girls head to the bathroom giggling. Blonde: Uh oh. Mom and Dad are fighting.

Malik stands up lighting his cigarette annoyed. Malik: Why the fuck are you waking me up in the middle of the day? Lilith: Like I said we need to talk.

Malik goes in search of his pants feeling Lilith staring daggers at him the whole time. He finds them at the end of the bed then puts them on not happy to see his breakfast go out the door.

Malik: So talk.  Lilith: You have been having too much fun and have been too distracted by this playroom. You haven’t been doing your part in the pact we made.

Malik getting mad stands up and gets in Lilith face.

Malik: This bar and playroom was your idea. You don’t get to tell me how much fucking fun I can or can’t have. What’s your problem? Lilith: Dorian and Cassandra are still blissfully together that’s my problem. Do you know he’s been looking at wedding rings? Malik: So what. Whenever they find out what they’ve been hiding from each other, they’ll discover they can’t be together regardless. Lilith: I don’t fucking care. We need to separate them soon before anyone discovers they are breaking the rules. Malik: Good luck. Lilith: Oh hell no. If you are backing out of the pact we made you will regret it.

Malik flicks his cigarette into the fire place then roughly grabs Lilith by the wrist. Malik: Don’t fucking threaten me.

Lilith pretends to be afraid, but she turns the table on him by using her succubus touch. Malik’s anger instantly turns to lust, and he is putty in her hands. She kisses him then pulls back feeling he is rock hard.

Lilith: Let’s not fight. You and I both want the same thing. Can we just agree to put more effort in splitting them up? Malik: Fine. Lilith turns to walk towards the door. Lilith: There now was that so hard. Malik: Where are you going? Lilith: Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t have time to fuck and feed. I have a bar to open. Malik: Fucking cock tease. Lilith flips him off as she leaves. Lilith: Don’t worry I’ll send your breakfast back in here. They’re probably just waiting for me to leave anyway.
