Chapter Twenty

This same time, Mr Black was at his home performing some rituals. His followers were behind him dead quiet as they watch him perform. He got done with them and faced his people to address them.
"I welcome you all!", he shouted. "It's our pleasure to be here, the Great One!", they changed in unison. Mr Black walked down the stage to address further. "It's been long those fellows lived in that stupid mansion. Don't you think it's the right time to get rid of them?" They replied in unison;"It's the right time!"
He smiled;"I knew you'd say this. That's why I'd already invoked all those fools to pay them a visit and get rid of them." "Hope everyone has his or her pendant?", he asked. They all checked themselves to be sure.
"If you don't have, please let me know by raising your hand", he added, raising his hand up. Nobody raised hand up, signifying to him all still had their pendants on. "That's good!", he remarked.
He climbed up the stage again and faced the fire, backing the crowd. He spoke to no one's hearing;"I really love it when people die, it makes me happy. You friends are doing to die a painful death tonight. That's my promise.
He then faced his followers, wearing a big smile on his face and asked them;"Who's the greatest of all again?" They all chorused;"It's you alone! No one's greater than you!" Mr Black was very happy with them but had negative plots for them also.
He said to himself;"You fools! You don't even know what's installed for you all. After getting what I want from you, I'll make sure you all die a miserable death. No one rules with me so, I'll cut you all from my life soon." He smiled the more;"You think the pendants you wear are real like mine? Fools! I'll invoke the ghosts for you too very soon. You'll see if those pendants are real or fake by that time." He then said to their hearing;"There's one thing you tell me that always gives me joy. He raised his hands up and faced upwards, feeling so happy and big;"I'm the greatest of all. No one's greater than I am."

Nigel brought out from the first box, seven pendants and showed them to his Master. The wizard explained the importance of the pendants. "These are used to protect you from ghosts. You may see them attempting to hurt you but, they'll move away from you once they get close to you." He signalled at Nigel to give the pendants to the clique. Nigel gave them the pendants one after the other and each of them worried his or hers hurriedly. Nigel wore his also and sat down. "I wish I could make you not visible to the ghosts but, I can't do that. Mr Black only, can do such thing. He also controls ghosts which I can't do.
I'll say he's a lot stronger than I am", said the wizard.
He picked up the second box and opened it. He brought out seven bracelets and told Nigel to come to him. He gave the bracelets to him and told him;"Give them these bracelets and take yours." While Nigel was giving them the bracelets, the wizard told the clique;"That's for self-teleportation. Just close your eyes and open it, you'll find yourself in another place." He got up and picked up the last box.
"This contains woad. You need to run it on your forehead as a sign of your promise that you'll be dedicated in winning this war." "Are you ready?", he questioned. They all reluctantly nodded in agreement. The wizard saw the six friends murmuring amongst each other, only Nigel was silent. He sensed unwillingness amongst the friends.
"Tell me now from the bottom of your heart, are you going to be committed to the end? I want sincerity right now." The six friends kept quiet, thinking deeply. After some time, they looked at each other, turned back to the wizard and told him their decision. They all heaved a big sigh, trying to pick up courage. They promised the wizard they would be committed to the end to the war.
The wizard was very happy when he heard them making their promise. He turned to Nigel and asked for his own opinion. Nigel also promised to be faithful to the end and he got even happier. He got up and walked up to them. He applied the woad on everyone's forehead, starting from his favourite person, Nigel. He drew a line on each of their foreheads. He went back and sat down, keeping the box before him.
The mirror began reflecting a great amount of light. All shielded their eyes from it. "This happens when there's something important for us to see", the wizard explained. He walked up to the mirror and swiped his hand across it. The mirror them showed everyone the priest, walking on a road at night.
"Why's a priest walking on the road leading to the Peters mansion?", asked Dave. They all saw the priest walking into the compound and heading towards the main door. They also saw ghosts trying to hide behind the building when the priest was walking closer to the mansion. They were fast enough and were not seen by the priest. The clique got scared, on seeing the ghosts. "Oh! No! They'll hurt him. I need to get him out of there", exclaimed the wizard. He ran to gather things to begin a ritual immediately.
