HISTORY

8:00am.
Ava joined the assembly gathering late so, she had to stand behind Demi. When Alice felt the present of someone behind her, she looked back just to know who was; but to her great surprise, it was Ava. She steadily looked away without saying a word.
"Hey dear, Morning," She greeted Demi, looking so excited.
She waited for a response from her, but it never came.
"Are you coming over to my birthday party this evening," She asked smiling from behind.
When Demi never responded, Ava decided to tap her harder. Immediately she did, " please leave me alone," Demi shouted.
Everyone at the hall close to her tried to understand what happened. The situation caused a huge murmuring, because everyone want to know why and who she reacted such a way too.
"What is going on over there?," Mr Stephen asked, standing at a corner of the hall.
12:12pm.
Few minutes after the bell for long break was rang, Demi was at the rest room, facing around rehearsing on how she is going to apologise to Ava. Suddenly she opened the door and walked down to her classroom, moving towards Ava.
"Am sorry for the way I reacted at the assembly hall this morning. Happy birthday," Alice said.
"Thanks. it's nothing, but I still don't understand why you did that?" Ava smiled.
She stood up and they both walked towards the cafeteria.
"You shocked me yesterday, although I wasn't scared," Demi said.
"Oh, if it is about the note book, I was just introducing myself to you," Ava smiled.
"Who are you?," Demi asked, she stopped to walk.
"Not everyone knows the deer, but everyone knows the lion," Ava replied.
"I don't understand," she said, stuttered.
"What you did last two night created fear on the moon Coven," Ava replied.
"What?," Demi stuttered.
"Stop pretending, every Covens Know you kill a demi-god last two night. Don't you notice some of our colleagues looks at you differently now," Ava replied.
"I don't notice anything. And how did they find out I killed a demi-god," Demi asked.
Ava laughed aloud. "It is because, almost every teacher and student in this school belong to one coven or the other," Ava replied.
Demi look so confused. "How do you know all this?
"I do because, am a witch and I know you are a charmed one," She replied.
4:12pm.
Suddenly, almost everyone at the party stopped dancing immediately Demi came in. Even those who were still dancing stopped, looking so curious. They were all staring at her, whispering to each other's ears. When she noticed, she walks towards Ava.
"Hey, happy birthday once again," she greeted, giving Ava a birthday presents.
"Wow, thanks alot," Ava appreciated, speaking out loud so as Demi to hear her clearly.
"Why are they staring at me?," Demi asked, speaking loudly into Ava's ear.
Ava laughed aloud. "I told you everyone knows the lion" She replied, dancing to the song been played.
"Are you trying to tell me that almost everyone in here knows I killed a demi-god," Demi asked, looking so confused.
"Almost everyone in here belongs to a Coven. So, they've all heard about you the lioness," Ava smiled.
"Am surprise," Demi Said.
"You shouldn't be, we are in Ogun state, no one in this town is normal," Ava said.
9:34pm.
Denial looks so worried, facing around the sitting room, whispering into the air. He banged his hand on the wall so hard that got Alice so curious to know what happened.
"Dad what happened," She shouted from her room, running down to the sitting room.
"Oh, nothing," Denial stuttered.
"You look worried. Hope there is no problem,? Demi asked.
"Hmm, am just worried about you," Denial sniffed.
"Me?" She asked, pointing her fingers to herself.
"Sit, I need to explain something i believe you've might know," Denial said, facing the ground.
"Dad, you are scaring me," She said, looking worried.
"Your mum died fighting some powerful enemies, some group of Covens that almost took you a long with her. She had these enemies because she was a witch...
"Oh My God. So, my mum was a witch," Demi interrupted.
"Yes, And am also a wizard. And I know who you are. Demi, what you did last two night created a very large audience. The demi-god you killed got the owner angry. Believe me, they won't rest until they bring you down," Denial said.
"What is so special in killing a demi-god?," she asked
"The last time a demi-god was killed was sixteen years ago. Ever since then, no one has that much power to bring one down.
"Sixteen years!" She sounds surprised.
"Let me tell you a short story," Denial said.
A year before you were born, a very powerful witch decided to destroy every Coven under the Black magical kingdom. These young lady was chosen to be the host of the seven Witches. She has the power of a thousand witch in her. Her present on earth was inconvenience for the dark Covens, so, they all gang up to kill her, but they all failed.
She kept her words, moving from one dark Covens to another, bringing them all down on there kneels. Until she heard about some group of witches called the Moon Coven. These set of magical ones are said to be the founders of Covens, I mean the mothers of Witchcraft. They are popularly called the unseen beings because, there existence was Said to be myth.
These group of coven only gathered or attack once it is full moon. They have what it takes to create demi-gods, a very powerful weapon..
"That I defeated easily," Alice interrupted.
She stood up and sat close to her dad "I know alot about the demi-gods already, mum told me," she smiled.
Denial readjusted his sitting position, looking confused. "Your mum," He stuttered.
"Yes, mum," She replied.
"Wow!," He laughed.
"Continue the story dad," she said.
The myth about them got her so curious. She waited for the next full moon to show up, so as to summon there leader. She told them the specific date she will be attacking, thinking she just created fear in them. Doing that period, she was battling with the Water Dominant when her mentor the leader of the band coven then told her all about them. She suspended the fight just because she thought the moon Coven are the root of all evil, but she was totally wrong.
When she started preparing to embark on the mission, we all turned our back on her. We knew the Moon Coven are older than the power in her. Her parents told her not to, but she refused, having much believe on the power of the Seven Witches in her.
Three days before the date she promised, the whole western region experience a total darkness with full moon. Despite the full moon, there was still present of solid darkness around. The seven Witches in her had the power of a thousand witches in them each. She had the capacity to act on the power and strength of each witch's in her. Her armies were greater in number of that of the moon Coven.
"What armies?," Alice asked.
"The seven thousand Witches in her," Denial replied.
Spells and Incantations were mainly used in the spiritual warfare. Some said her present was that of a sun. Despite all the Powerful alliance and demi-gods the Moon Coven had, the Scarlett witch brought them down. Alice, to cut the story short, she died fighting the Moon Coven. Although, she took something important to them, the ability to summon full moon and total darkness. So, they can only gather if the natural full moon show up.
He continued.
"Alice, if you are thinking of fighting them, stop it. The power of the seven couldn't stop them fully, so, you are nothing compared to them. The day she died was the last time a demi-god was ever killed, You can't stand them.
"Dad, I fought and killed one of them, they can't stand me," she spoke bravely.
"I believe you heard and understood the story I told you; if I may ask you, what are the lessons you learned?" Denial asked.
"With great power, you can make a big difference and be courageous," Alice replied.
"No, Over-confidence kills, that is the lesson," He shouted.
"Dad, am a lioness, a beast that a lot of people gossip all about. A god killer, a Coven hunter and a peacemaker,". Has she speaks, everything in the sitting room started shaking. Denial was fearful of her when he noticed the vibration.
"What do you mean by "a lot of people are gossiping behind you,? Denial asked.
"You won't believe if I tell you that almost everyone in my school belongs to a coven. Dad, they all know I killed a demi-god. Information travels fast in the magical kingdom, dad, she called me a lioness" Alice replied, smiling.
"Who called you that?," Denial asked, stuttered.
"A classmate of mine, Ava," She replied.
