The Witches

06 January 2015

Being here is strange, I still don't believe that I could be a witch, but holding my wand says something else. I haven't been blessed with magic yet, but I can already feel the power when it's in my hand. What does one do with all this power? I wonder at times.

Also, it's strange here because I'm having bad nights. Not that I can't sleep or anything but that I get weird dreams. I'm always surrounded by black and can hear distinctive chatter but I can't hear a word that's being uttered.

The voices are many and maybe that's why it's so hard for me to focus on what they're trying to say.

It's been a couple of days that I've been here. I spend my days reading up on this place's history.

It is two magical words that melted into one big world. It used to start as one big world but the witches difference broke them up.

They were all forced to learn dark magic and it was fine, but a group of people hated that. They fought the system for centuries but no one could have that change since the vast majority wanted to learn the dark arts.

That's when the council came together and decided to split the two groups up and then they had 'San and Mele.

The white witches had to start from scratch and it was difficult in the beginning, having to adjust and also create a new style of magic altogether. But they did well nonetheless. However, the two group's hate for each other grew and they fought for years.

They've concluded that surely good and bad just don't mix, until last year. Sindra and Bethany have been friends ever since they were three and they've gotten along pretty well. They have a true and beautiful friendship. They showed both the white and black witches that a union between the two is very possible.

Sounds like a wonderful ending. How would we know? We are only at the beginning of that part of the whole thing. Reading up on the town's history only made me want to meet Sindra and Bethany.

A knock took me out of my reading. I still have no roommate so I had to get the door, which I did. Behind it stood a happy Margot with a beautiful dark-skinned girl with a round face. Her black hair is tied to the back so that her long coarse hair could make a bomb afro.

"Tam... This is Aaliyah," she placed her arm around her shoulder and looked Aaliyah in her eyes, "this is Tamzyn, your roommate,"

I couldn't help but smile, I hated not having anyone around me. The silence that filled the room, particularly at night was the worst.
