Excerpts
There was an unidentifiable part of her that was missing. And it was essential to being a true
An-Kishar witch. She vaguely wondered, through her heartache and temporary stupefaction, what
that might mean. And, for the first time in a long time, she wasn’t sure what she believed.
****
The thick boughs immersed the witches in dark shadows and Malinda stopped, closed her eyes and
concentrated. She whispered an incantation, “Pila Luminis,” and a small, glimmering light appeared to
surround the aged enchantress, growing in its size and intensity by the second.
****
Justine, in her never-ending curiosity, pulled the dusty book from its cubby and began flipping
gingerly through the pages. The ancient novel contained pictures and stories regarding the Gods and
Goddess of the Old World. It had been many years since Malinda had seen one of these books and the
images brought back many memories from her childhood. Her mother, reading these stories to her
before bed, would tell them with such intensity that Malinda nearly believed them to be true and, to
this day, still hadn’t fully discounted the possibility. After all, the An-Kishar had to have come from
somewhere. Justine had flipped through nearly the entire book before stopping on one page in
particular. “Look!” she said, jumping up and thrusting the book toward Malinda and Alice,
“Someone’s written something, here in the margin.” She flipped the book back around and squinted,
trying to read the minuscule scratches, “I can’t make it out,” she said, “It looks like someone was trying
to find the site of the Anustians, though!” Malinda was amused at Justine’s bewilderment.
“Oh, child,” said the old witch with a hearty chuckle, “Many people have tried, and failed, to locate the
original site of the Anustians. It is not surprising to me that Jaicor would have such a tome in his
house. He, too, was told the stories as a child. It is part of the An-Kishar legacy.”
“Well, I’ve only ever heard bits and pieces through you,” replied Justine, “I’m going to ask Jaicor if
he’d mind me borrowing this book while we’re here.”
