One Dark Nights Revelation

[ILLYRIAN]

One Dark Nights Revelation.

When the plans had been accepted and the work finally began truckloads of sand was brought in and dumped around the edge of the lake. Many bulldozers began to mark out where the roads of New Sunnydale would become. Arial views shown at the towns shire offices that gripped the attention of a new population. Various channels were dug for the pipes and cables to be laid so the facilities would be ready when the population did move in.

Buffy and Willow had kept watch on the deeper earthworks in case miscellaneous tunnels or caverns were discovered that would be used by all manner of demonic creatures but none becane known of by them. Work carried on for large buildings and the town began to take shape, it was whilst the work crews were digging the new foundations for New Sunnydale's renewed high school the work crew uncovered a lone chasm under where the boiler room was meant to be.

All four of its sides were smooth as was its base the only thing found in that chasm was a large wooden box. The box had no opening so nothing was known of the occupants of it, it was transported up to an exhibition center. Even after several years the wooden box lay dormant nothing and no one could open the wooden box. It wasn't until the town became populated with hundreds of humans, one day Willow ventured into the exhibition center, whilst there she decided to give herself a daughter,

to be like herself to grow be a friend to Buffy's child that she was now carrying. Such was the time factor that Willow's daughter and Buffy's daughter were able to become great friends. Buffy's child Nova often referred to Willow's daughter who had been named Bayleigh, Buffy's daughter Nova cheekily referred to Willow's daughter as Bayleaf. The years seemed to flow by with ease as the daughters grew to be well established as best friends could be in their teenage years,

it was almost as if they became like twins, knowing where each other was at that moment in time though neither of them used that gift if it might cause embarrassment to the other, though ending each others sentences was fun, it surprised the unknowing, leaving messages on glass where only the other could find it. Nova would often refer to her best friend not by her name of Bayleigh she used to refer to her friend Bayleaf.

Nova said there was something in her memory from decades or centuries passed that wanted her to name her like her mothers name. Unknown to either of them nor their mother was the ressurection of the beings within the wooden box in the emptiness of the center of the exhibition center. Willow's wishes had brough two others back to life and now after the years had passed by the mother and her daughter grew from the earth. Darla and her daughter Germima release themselves from the wooden box.

They stood and welcomed each other into the new world.

The Fan Fiction One Dark Nights Revelation . . .is continued with . . . The Second Nights Revelation

Stopping a few paces from the WOODEN BOX they stood on the firm ground and looked at all that was around them,
that all was on the same level or above them though neither of them were overly impressed with what they saw,
Darla placed a loving arm about her daughters shoulders.

Looking to her left Darla suggested they go that in that direction. Darla encouraged her daughter to go in a different direction.
Wandering to the top of a slight mound Germima saw the lights of a town.
“What do you think we might find there,” she asked her mother.

Darla shrugged her shoulders, she suggested,
“That'd be anyone ones guess, though hopefully some nice people to get a drink from,” said Darla.
Germima grinned as she agreed with her mother.

“I don't know why we were left here nor if we were left here for a specific reason,
for if we were they should have given us instructions, so let's go and get use of what we can
find before we find a way out of that town,” said Darla.

Germima wandered a few paces behind her mother until she thought she recognised their surroundings.
“I think I know where we are, this is near to where one of the slayers friends lives,” said Germima.
“The Slayer you are referring to is Buffy, there is a new slayer now dear,” said Darla.

“That cannot be right, for a new Slayer to be, the last one has to die and I have just seen her,” said Germima.
“Normally yes you would be right, but these times we are in are not normal times
the one you know as Buffy was replaced by the Powers That Be - the slayers guiding force,” said Darla.

“But still how could it be they still allow two slayers to be at once?” asked Germima.
“At a guess I'd say they saw Buffy needed to be replaced and caused the one named Nova to be.”
“Does that mean there are now two slayers now?” asked Germima.

“I do not understand how is it that they are both here?” asked Germima.
“The new one (Nova) took control from the old one (Buffy) though Buffy was such a good slayer for them
they asked Buffy to stay and be a guide to Nova,” said Darla.

“Well that does sound good for them but it isn't fair for us,” said Germima.
“And you would be right for thinking that, so much has happened of late that brought the notion
of balance into question. When Angel was given a soul he began to behave similar to that of a slayer.”

“Then another vampire got himself a soul, so he fought against other vampires,” said Darla.
“The Powers That Be knew the balance was completely obliterated, knowing that they sent the slayer
(Buffy) a child and had Buffy name her daughter Nova.”

“So that is where the new slayer came from and why Buffy was allowed to be with her,
it does make the right kind of sense, it explains how come there is Nova with Buffy,” said Germima.
“That Willow's daughter (Bayleigh) is best friends with Nova as she and Buffy once were, best friends,” said Darla.

The Third Nights Revelation

Nova decided to go to see if what her mother was telling her was true, instead though she found Germima talking to Bayleigh, Nova thought it great that they all could possibly be friends.
“This is a surprise, I didn't think I'd find you two talking together like old friends,” said Nova.

“And what is it, why do you think we wouldn't want to talk to each other?” asked Germima,
“Yes what reason could there possibly be why we shouldn't relate as friends?” asked Bayleigh.
“You really do not know about each other do you?” asked Nova.

“Let me explain a few important things to you, Germima is the sire of the vampire Darla whilst Bayleigh is the daughter of the Slayers best friend Willow, mind you my mother, just told me that the old slayers daughter is me,
and my name is Nova, I am the new Vampire Slayer,” said Nova.

“Yeah I never actually realised that about us, we, being the daughters of the old guard, I dare say that we were never destined to be friends, that'll teach them,” said Germima.
“If we keep ourselves a secret and don't tell any of our new friends, we could be friends” said Nova.

Each one of them smiled to each other. Buffy wandered into the room she found them looking at each other. Buffy was impressed that they were grateful to be in each others company.
“I wonder how long you will remain friends,” said Buffy.

Germima faced Buffy, “I take it that comment was directed at me, thing is we like each other, it was our parents who had the problems,” Germima pointedly stared at Buffy.
“She has a point mom, if we do get along together who knows what the result'd be?” asked Nova.

Bayleigh proposed that, “If we could promote a better companionship then we could rule the waves so to speak, plus if we are able to get Angel and Spike to sire the correct sort we could make a group to enhance the endeavours of what we want,” said Bayleigh.
Darla went to voice the opinions of the group. Agreeing with her Angel's sired a suitable being to be in the group, they named her Lisbeth.

Spike went out of his way to find a person with the name Analeigh, making them be Analeigh, Lisbeth, Nova, Germima, Bayleigh. (Abigail did join later).
A growing accord between them had others get be beckoned to join with them, Willow suggested her old Friend Amy's daughter be invited to join them. Meeting in secret Buffy, Amy and Willow thought it was wonderful what their children had created, wonderful they were all of a similar mind.

Though no mention of a leader was mentioned Nova was allowed to be given the reigns. No mention was made come the first group meeting. Nova being the leader stopped any arguments that may have occurred, Abigail wanted the group to vote for an animal for them to regail.
After several days where no member had any decent suggestions Abigail burst out in laughter

Because it was her mother had been one, so each of the group should have a rat to look after.
Bayleigh and Nova said that they had heard the story of Abigail's mother several times,
the idea was adopted.

Dear reader,
my apologies to you, I have written several attempts for the Fourth Nights Revelation but I thought that each of those attempts were sub-par.
Though I do wish to let you know I have not forgotten to attempt the next nights revelation, I am at present working on it, here's hoping I will deem it worthy of your time to read it.

 

[ILLYRIAN]

The Fourth Nights Revelation
(at last you might say) 🙂

Darla realised that she was in front of her sire Germima, though she had no knowledge as to why, when she was asked why she had accepted the limits that Nova and Analeigh had placed on her.
It never occurred to her there were others who might have placed that obstacle.

Accessible limits were where she could have embraced their offers of friendship, their company. Analeigh and Lisbeth embraced the friendship that was offered to them by Nova. Darla realised that her time with the group was working its way to an end, only days followed for her.

It was time for the the next generation to have their way. Darla knew her time was at its end.
Germima, Analeigh, Lisbeth and Nova saw it was their time. They knew togetherness was all around them, they needed the new ways to make the population know that their way was the right way.

They set about cementing friends with each other, the dawn of a new day in the town that had grown from the pit known as Sunnydale. Darla suggested to Nova they could part as friends, Darla told Nova of several vampires who had no argument with humans nor those from hell.

Nova was interested she placed herself where Darla promised her she'd find them. She was confronted by a figure that was as Darla had said, the male told Nova he had been told by Darla that help would be offered. Nova said she could see he was a vampire but she felt nothing.

That might be because of our age Nova grinned, “I was only aware of you so why did you say our?”
“We have been working this area of land since we cast out others of our kind and those we saw as our enemy, Darla said you might know of them as Neanderthals, and me as Darwyn.

Nova stared at him, ”Is that your name?” she asked. Darwyn grinned
“Darla said you'd react like that, the name I first had was Da, that became Dar so folk might call me something acceptable, I changed my name a few hundred years ago to be as it is,” he said.

“Those you knew as enemies how did you know what they were?” asked Nova, Darla sat on a rock.
“That was when I first became friends with Darla she said about then though she was surprised to become aware by her own questions and answers that I had been on this land for many millennia.”

“Darla took time to comprehend those who I once knew as the tribe we fought others of our kind so we could keep or kill animals once the finding our enemy became hard to find. In these latter years we farmed the land to buy live animals,” said Darwyn.
“How many are there of you and where do you live?” asked Nova.

“Once was there was many farms around here though our numbers have fallen over the centuries what with your kind, the other vampires and them humans,
I feel that there are problematic times ahead unless we can find a miracle,” said Darwyn.

He faced Nova and smiled
“What is it I can feel you are thinking of a possible answer, even if the answer ultimately fails it
might present us with a new direction to seek help.”

“I offer no promises but I am aware of a possibility that might be suitable for you and your kind in so many ways, I will need us to keep it a secret though, I'll make arrangements,” said Nova
Three days had passed before Nova went to the farm that Darwyn said he owned, once there she was invited into their front room.

Nova brought a warm drink for her and a large book.
“The book is a journal of sorts, I kept a record of our changes,” said Darwyn.
“I must admit that the initial entities were made from memory, I made them in another book so I could get them in the right order

I didn't state the dates for the first couple of pages because in those time they were done before a date had been set,” said Darwyn.
Nova struggled with accepting the time frame that Darwyn had been around for, Nova read when another tribe had been attacked to capture the woman who knew how to make fire and that she had learnt the secrets of cooking animals after they had drunk its

blood. So many secrets of the vampire was learnt from the journal that Nova could inform the Powers That Be about the vampires in the area that Nova and Buffy came to be. It grew to be that it was the drinking of the Neanderthals blood that might have started the line of vampires, not as the Watchers Council had stated.

A Revelation from the Fifth Night

Analeigh and Bayleigh looked to one another after discussing each others about what Nova's claims were regarding that the Neanderthals blood may have caused the current vampires facial
appearance to be lumpy and bumpy.

Bayleigh giggled at Analeigh's comment about Nova's claim about the lumpy and bumpy description of a vampires facial appearance.
“I am not sure though that it is the right statement though,” said Bayleigh.

Analeigh asked Nova if it was her current opinion.
“Um, it does bare considering it though, I have seen pictures of a Neanderthal man which was that way, so I would agree with what I heard,” said Nova.

“I had not thought of it but by all reports when Darwyn and the members of his tribe first began to drink the blood of any of the Neanderthals that the stated current appearance of how they now appear began to change. We should acknowledge that it may have been that the Neanderthals blood have caused the transformation into vampires,” said Nova.

Bayleigh thought about what was she stared at Nova.
“Does that mean that the original Neanderthals were in fact a type of vampiric creature, I suppose that it is only the latter understanding of their bone structure that has given us knowledge of them.”

“It sort of makes sense, even though Darwyn's tribe became the first recorded vampires it might
well be true that the Neanderthals were the original vampires, they may have had that look all the time its just that Darwyns tribe were the first to change appearance,” said Analeigh.

Analeigh, Bayleigh and Nova faced each other. Each of them thought the same thing though it was
Nova who first had the bravery to acknowledge what they were thinking.
“Does that mean we now have a cause of how the first vampire began its appearance,” said Nova.

“There must have been a greater strength among the Neanderthals than anyone had ever imagined,
it does make you think how the blood carried itself through the Neanderthals body,” said Analeigh.
“That does make me think about what Buffy told me of the Watchers Council introduction about

the when and how the beginnings of Vampires took place on this world,” said Nova.
"Amazing how they spoke the truth even though they were so wrong,” said Bayleigh.
“So, if the council does appear again they'd need to rethink their opinions again for starters they

would need to reconsider where the Neanderthal might have come from and how that area may have
affected the height of them. Then you would need to take into account how the intrinsic value of the landscape would cause the Neanderthal and as such the vampire of now be affected,” said Analeigh.

“I don't understand how a vampire of now could be affected by an effect of then?” asked Bayleigh.
Nova explained that the Neanderthal's facial appearance being so lumpy and bumpy gave cause for the vampire of this era to be similar though not exactly the same,” said Nova.

though neither could answer her properly.
“Here we are, about to confide in each other but our leader does not recognize either of you as my best choice of friends,” said Analeigh.

“Your leader?” asked Bayleigh forgetting what she was. “And who is that?” Bayleigh continued.
“The Devil,” replied Analeigh with a smile.
“I dare say that those who govern me would be of the same opinion,” said Nova.

As Nova Said she Knew It Was Time For The Sixth Night

Samantha called upon her friend Nova to wait for her to speak to her, with Bayleigh Nova was full of expectation that some words of excitement were headed their way. When Samantha reached the friends Samantha said she had been given a message from the Powers That Be that morning,

the message was about the witches of old, that they would rise from their graves to greet the new witches. Samantha told Nova to expect the witches from the grandest times of old, the dead would present themselves from their circular graves within the field of long grass.

Samantha created the vision to Bayleigh of the heads of the elder witches, those special ones who had lost their lives in the years gone by after displaying themselves over the waves of long grass from the age of the thirteen twenties came the witch Maria.
She could trace any mineral,

be it animal or human through the waters of any sea, ocean, river pond or lake, Maria promised she would give of herself to whom she had been promised. Niamh came from late in fourteen eighty seven, her gift was that she was a healer, regardless if the item that caused the injury was man made or natural.

From the time that was borderline sixteen twenties came Victoriana, she who knew if the truth was being told. Nova felt joy float onto her that came from the time of sixteen twenty three there came a gift from Carissa who was born in the year of fifteen eighty nine give rise to an ability to track a body through the air.

Following her a few years later came Marnie from the year of sixteen thirty three, she who upheld her powers of control. Carissa upheld the control of the weather. From the year of seventeen ten came the woman, Christiana who gave life to her control fire she was followed by and of the Welsh witch Angharad who came into being from the Isle of Anglesea.

Such was her appearance on that day though she could alter her appearance at will. Since she had reached the age of twenty four she had been able to change her appearance to be that of any person or animal not so from any mammal within the oceans water. Braymare began to realise that the gift

she had once considered to be so lame she thought it know had extra meaning, the notion that she could float on any patch of water regardless it it was an ocean or a pond now saw itself of having an increased impetus. When Sandra brought her wonder of telekinesis from eighteen fifty nine time was almost to complete.

Bayleigh's news of her power to force a person to take on the menace of a curse or have that person relinquish the threat of a curse had Bayleigh find peace within herself. Each of the witches passed on her gift to Bayleigh so she and Nova could help those the Powers That Be sought to help.

The plan had been for the women that Samantha's referred to would give their gifts to the power who was Bayleigh. Buffy declared to Nova that although she was mainly glad that she was left alone to her own she was grateful that these girls from another time and place saw her as a friend.

Buffy declared that their help would be much appreciated, advising Nova that Molly's being there would only mean that the leader of her kind was aware of the need for the slayers to need their help. Nova began to worry about what she might be about to face when Buffy promoted her selfworth to her.

“Do you have any idea what the threat might be.” Buffy shook her head and grimaced to Nova. “Hopefully soon Molly will make herself know to us and tell us why she is here,” said Buffy. “You seem so excited at the chance of meeting Molly,” said Nova.
“Excited at the chance to resurrect the friendship we once enjoyed

though I must admit I am just a bit worried by whatever the reason might be why she has been told to be here,” said Buffy
“Do I understand you right, are you saying that she was told to see if we need help?” asked Nova.
“If you get to see Molly arrive you will get jealous, I know I did,” said Buffy, “Of course you might

not see her at all she will be here to report on the situation that you are about to face, she will tell the one who leads her kind, reporting to her leader if she thinks you need her help,” said Buffy,
Nova asked Buffy how long Molly would need to be before she told her leader.

Buffy was unsure when that would be, she could not even remember her name. Nova was glad when Bayleigh spoke to her, "Victoriana was quite clear, she said that each one of the witches had given Bayleigh her power knowing that with those powers she was able to promote more obscure powers for herself,"

Upon The Birth Of The Morning Prior To The Seventh Night

Knowing herself to be right to acknowledge Nova, Bayleigh and Analeigh respected each of the ones that they felt had come from the field of long grass. Knowing that they were witches Bayleigh acknowledged each of them that passed her. Knowing that each of them had been bred from them the witches.

They stood firm, together, knowing which of the others of them were bred from the lines of Vampires that heralded from the joining of the Neanderthals before they were all despatched . It was Samantha who stood to her beliefs as Nova and Bayleigh passed by her. That is how their world began to appear to be.

They even faced the two mile wide estuary with nought more then for a long rowing boat, Braymore shook her head as she stepped into the waters of the estuary still holding Nova's hand. As soon as the water breached Nova's rib cage he pulled back on Braymores hand restricting her forward momentum.

“Ought we stop here, any movement further forwards could reduce our time on this planet,” said Nova.
Braymore smiled to her friend.
“I take it you have forgotten what it was that you promised me,” said Braymore.

Nova tried to feign surprise as Braymore began to float on the estuary. Looking behind her once or twice Nova felt more at ease as the others followed them in boats, the last boat that slipped into the water managed to help Nova relax, Willow and Buffy were there to assist them.

Willow started to grin as Buffy told her that all manner of creatures were looking for her friend. Nova and Bayleigh gave her hand to Braymore then asked her if she knew which of them was missing. Nova felt a form of guilt as she asked for news of the daughter of her mother old enemies.

Samantha smiled as she saw the name of who it was that was on the surface of the water.
“Germima was the name I saw spelt on the the surface of the water, though I had no idea why at that time but I soon found out that Germima is the daughter of the vampire Buffy knew as Darla,” said Samantha.

Nova started to nod her head she told Samantha to look into the past to search the history of where Germima came from. It was that memory that had Willow remembered a time in the years gone by when the vampires Dani and Leia began to be known, that was of the time when Germima was found.

Samantha was surprised to learn that Nova, Bayleigh and Germima were becoming firm friends. They learnt where they could find each other should the need arise, both Nova and Germima were surprised to learn that Bayleighs power came from the witches who had been buried in the field in the field of long flowing grass.

All of those witches from the field of flowing grass willingly passed their power to Bayleigh, in the event that power was needed by her. Nova and Bayleigh talked to each other each of them asking the other how they would learn of a need for them, Samantha made her presence known to each of them.

“You only need to contact me should the occasion arise when you want to know what is, or should I learn of something that needs your attention I will contact you,” said Samantha.
At the end of the second day from then

Samantha found she had the need to contact both Nova and Bayleigh.
“A message was sent to me about a gathering of Vampires in the local vicinity,” said Samantha.
Germima went to seek them alone so as not to arouse suspicion.

A large crypt was found in the local graveyard, a meeting place for eight vampires to feel secure during the days, during the weeks that followed Germima raised several of her friends who had similar beliefs to her, surprised to find them half a dozen came from those followers of Darwyn and Darwyn himself.

In the hours before the dark was to present itself Nova and Bayleigh covered each of the windows with sheets of thick black plastics. Thinking time was on their side the vampire began to leave the crpyt only to face a barrage from the stone floor, Christiana had given Bayleigh her knowledge of how to control fire.

Confronting a wall of flame that seemed to chase them into the crypt where it destroyed each of them.
Nova sent a message that asked Samantha if she could would she ask her cauldron of water to find out if all the vampires they sought had been found and despatched.

Samantha's reply to Nova consisted of only a smile.

Can You Swear Allegiance To The Eighth Night

Seeing uncertainty Nova became unsure of her future, it was Darla's daughter Germima and Bayleigh who managed to lift her emotions.
“I have discovered that none of the witches here were your normal type of witch, many of them had a power of an element.

The women had been sorely mistreated in life even though each of them women had only used their powers to help other people,” said Marianne.
Christi looked at the books she was holding, a couple of the books were accidentally dropped onto the floor,

one of the books fell open at a page that described what the qualities of the women were. Christi read about the women.
“It states here that the woman who leads the witches Victoriana was born in fifteen eighty six and that the first time she died was in sixteen fifteen. Her gift was that she had the knowledge that she could tell if a person was telling the truth or not.

Her best friend was Carissa was born in the year fifteen eighty nine and died in sixteen twenty three, her gift she has is that she is able to track a person through the air though she died at the age of thirty four. Niamh had been born in the year fourteen fifty and died in fourteen eighty seven, her gift to people was that she could heal people.

That stopped when she was hung at the age of thirty seven. Marnie was brought into this world in the year sixteen ten though she died in sixteen forty three. A cheerful girl she upset the hangman, she was thirty three years old when she died. Angharad came into being in the year seventeen hundred and died in seventeen thirty two, she was a shape shifter.

Brayleigh came in the year eighteen thirty though she died in eighteen fifty she possessed the ability of telekinesis, to move object or items at will. Katie began to live in nineteen ninety eight, as yet she hasn't died. Christi also came about in nineteen ninety eight she could give the power of a curse to whoever she wanted to. Each of the girls took their home in the rooms of the chapel.

Marianne was invited to work in the kitchen, she made the list for the ingredients of each meal though she did not actually make the meal. When the ingredients were delivered then they were put in a pantry and as if by magic the meals would be made and cooked, then each one need only be on the table, such was it so for breakfast lunch and tea.

Allowing the curse of life to be given to herself then gave that life to each of the girls. Once they had risen from their grave they need not return there. Hearing noises below the farmhouse each one of the girls were told by Victoriana that that place was where they could perform their magics where no one else could see them, she turned to face a girl walking up the steps towards them.

“It has but as far as I was aware the basement has been an area of this house that no one has been able to find since when I first rented this house and that was in 2010,” said Samantha.
“What can I say I found it easy enough maybe was because I didn't know you people thought it couldn't be found,” said Katie

After their meeting Katie suggested to Christi and Marianne that they go the field of long grass with her, with Samantha.
“Katie means the field of long grass where it is believed the women are buried,” said Samantha.
After passing through the house they wandered up the slope path towards the fence that bounded the field of long grass,

almost at the top of the slope beside the long grass Katie pointed into the field a breeze was starting to blow the long grass it began to look like a wave.
“There's a woman coming towards us from the field,” said Katie.

Each one of them faced to where a wave was becoming more evident. Katie smiled.
“The woman coming towards us is Victoriana,” said Samantha.
They leant against the fence, Christi asked Samantha how she knew about her?

“I've read the books about the women who have been amongst the long grass in the field, and where that have been buried.”
Samantha greeted Victoriana.
“I think Victoriana is here now because now is the time for the others to make themselves known,” said Samantha.

“I take it you mean the witches?” asked Katie.
“I am here because they are about to make themselves known in ways other than you think,” said Victoriana.
“When they do venture here can you introduce them to us and tell us what it is said what their speciality is?” asked Christi.

“Can a witch have a speciality? Or is it that you do not consider them to be witches, that is an interesting concept to hear, when I was told you were moving into this place I began to find books to read up about this place, I have heard so many rumours of the going on here. I want to learn the truth about this place and as it turns out I need to know quite a bit more about the field.”

The Dark Lights Became Lit So as To Cover Over The Ninth Night

Katie looked to Victoriana, she was interested to learn what she could have meant when she said that the tenth witch was here, did she mean that there would only be the witches.
“I cannot remember how many witches have been registered as being here,” said Katie.

Victoriana glanced to Christi, she shrugged her shoulders not knowing the answer.
“A trip to the field where I can decipher what appears to be a part of the lay of the land,” said Katie.
“What lay of the land is affected by the grave of another witch,” Victoriana.

As they wandered along the line of the fence as it continued up the slope from the farmhouse, each one of the girls chose to keep watch to see if any others in the field were watching them. With nothing mentioned by either of them they went to 'their' place at the fence line.

Katie made a point of being the one who had pride of place to look out around the field, not knowing if she would see anything that could cause her to discover any reason why she was there.
“So why have you requested that we accompany you here?” asked Christi.

None of them could see the crest of any heads rising up above the height of the grass when the wind stopped any apparent waves being see, even when floors in the continuity of wind allowed gap to appear.
“Is that another one over there,” said Victoriana pointing to what was a maelstrom amongst a waves.

Both Katie and Christi faced Victoriana, they both realised that each other agreed with her.
“You are renowned as being the head of the witches here so why don't you know if all the witches here have arrived and if so, are the ones we've met all of them?” asked Katie.

“You are right all the ones present are all of them, as far as I'm aware,” said Victoriana.
Victoriana cast her vision over all of the field then began to slowly shake her head.
“What sort of person would I be if I didn't allow the thought of more being out there.”

Christi faced Katie, they agreed with each other again.
“What would that make us if we disagreed with her,” said Christi.
“That being so when do you suppose that another one or more of them might come,” said Katie.

Christi grinned, “I wonder what gifts the next ones might bring, guessing what else there is.”
“I'd like to know what religion the next one might be, if God would allow them in his house.”
“Well it is pretty much a given that he would,” said Victoriana.

“It is? Why would you say such a thing, I remember watching an episode of Charmed when Piper was so afraid of stepping on the steps of a church, scared of thou shalt not allow a with to live.
Victoriana laughed at her, “It is the idiots of mankind who have said dumb stuff like that.”

Christi smiled to Victoriana, “What makes you say that?”
“Ever heard it said that God created all of mankind, that being so it is God who allows the individuals of mankind to have declared themselves as witches.”

Katie shrugged her shoulders, she began to comprehend the possibility that God knew of witches.
Niamh wandered to where they stood and joined them. “If God himself did not allow that witches should not exist you'd think he would have caused them to be removed from existence by now.”

“Do you mean that God knows and supports what witches do?” asked Katie.
“If God is real then yes, I think he knows witches are real, he does allow his followers to talk of witches. If witches did not exist would he allow his people to talk of falsehoods?” asked Victoriana

“God allows us witches to do what needs to be done as long as we keep his people safe,” said Katie.

The Tenth one brought the enth Degree of the Tenth Revelation

Victoriana waved her arm towards Katie and Christi for them to look toward the fence that surrounded the field of long grass.
“I know the woman who is coming towards us she is Maria, I was told she came into being in the
year 1295 and was killed in 1343, you will learn that she who can track through the soil.”

She made herself known to them as she moved over the fence as another young woman came up behind her and presented herself to them Maria said the young woman was Marriosah. Marriosah said that her body had been placed in her grave in 1368 after she was born in the year 1319, she was drowned in a nearby river that was home to several Pike's, while her body was dragged through the river the Pike ate their fill.

Maria said that her gift was her ability to track over any type of ground. Maria invited her to meet Victoriana, Katie and Christi. Standing together, talking to each other they began to be friends, all was quiet until Katie's phone started to ring. Her father told her that the residents of the cul-de-sac had been reported as missing, that all twelve residents had vanished during the initial hours of the previous night.

Going to the local police station Victoriana looked at the maps of the area to see if anything was apparent to her, Victoriana shook her head, “Nothing about the area seems obvious to me offering the map to the others none of them noticed anything out of sorts.” As Maria ventured to the map, Marriosah was shown the Cul-de-sac. Tracing other landmarks nearby with her finger tips

Maria told her where the houses were located Marriosah referred them to accept what she knew,
“In the days when I was younger there was a church there and its grave yard was thereabouts.”
Victoriana suggested that they search the records to find what happened to the church.

It was several hours of searching through the towns records until Christi discovered several articles that mentioned of repairs that needed to be made to the church, on multiple occasions reports were made about the poor state of the church building until it was torn down. Searching through more records Katie and Christi noticed reports being made of when the church itself was removed

the building materials going to another church on the other side of the town. There were several mentions of graves being moved to that churches graveyard. Maria had deep soil testing equipment brought in so she could examine where the grave had been moved to. Katie mentioned that some of the graves were not initially mentioned although they were subsequently stated as being moved to other sites.

Maria looked at the visual findings of where the graves were said to be moved, a couple of places had shadows that looked like slabs of stones deep in the ground. Pinpointing where the slabs were located Christi managed to get the owner of a JCB to dig where the grave was said to be.
Getting close to six feet deep into the ground a small slab of stone was located meaning that a small chapel had been put where they were

looking. It seemed confusing about the position of them until it was revealed that twelve graves had been dug near that chapel. In the section referenced as where the new graves were put the JCB was brought in to go low enough so the coffins could have the soil wiped from the tops of them. One of the senior officers at the police station was there to witness what was to be found in each grave.

Working on Maria's instructions the grave was dug as far as they could, clearing the earth from the coffins by hand until it was safe to have the coffin opened, Brayleigh had been called in to removed the coffin slid though they were stunned as inside the first coffin there was nobody.
Turning to examine the next grave site, the ground was dug away until eventually that coffin faced the cool air,

Maria swept the loose soil from the top of the coffin then opened in to reveal a fresh body. “How is he here, I do not know him though I recognize him from several photographs I have seen of him in one of the houses in that cul-de-sac. I don't understand how he could have been buried here so soon.” Christi faced Victoriana and asked her if she knew of anyone who had the gift of being able to converse with the dead.

Victoriana began to nod, “Niamh is known as a healer a part of her healing is allowing her to reveal parts of what happened to the people she wants to heal the minds of.”
The group gathered around the grave as Niamh began speaking in tongues to the body,

After the eyes of the body opened the body began to speak to Niamh, “I was at home when I felt a voice in my head, telling me to be here, so I came here onto the coffin and closed my eyes.”
“Why did you lay in the coffin, who told you to lie in the coffin and why did you come here,” asked Katie.

Looking up at her the body said that he heard a voice, though he didn't know whose voice it was only that she had to do its will, I am,” said Gavin Lamium.
Katie faced Christi and smiled
