About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire
Witch Raising is a new series with Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul as the main character. This series is part of the House at the Crossing Series and follows Demon Soul and Demon and Fairy but instead of being centered on the adventure of Sahel and his demon friends, it follows Brownie as she goes from being a normal girl to a bad ass witch. She has been practicing magick for a while now, saving people from difficult situations but the people at the house, including Sahel aren't happy with her new calling. Feeling that she doesn't have a choice and has to keep learning witchcraft, Brownie leaves to meet other witches.
The excerpt, we start where we left off last week
She took the direction
the guy had taken before her half thinking that he would be waiting
for her and jump out from a dark corner or something. But the were no
dark corner, this wasn't the demon world, the entire place was
illuminated with red lanters made of paper. The all city around her
seemed to be on fire and the street she was walking on was large so
that the crowded from the station didn't seem to large anymore. It
was paved and turned into a pedestrian way, probably for the
festival. She would have a good night sleep and tomorrow she would be
able to explore the place and maybe see the lions. She hadn't
expected to feel happy during this trip, she hadn't expected to feel
any joy so close after breaking up with Sahel, but somehow she
couldn't help it. The fact that she was doing something good for
herself for a chance instead of doing something for everyone else was
making her happy and who cared if the trip was to take a month
instead of ten days, in a way, she felt like she deserved it.
Sahel might care though.
But this trip was supposed to be about her, not about him. She
couldn't just give up on things because he might disapprove or miss
her. She had broken up with him for a reason, because she couldn't
let him treat her the way he did and go with it. So she needed to be
brave and play. That sounded so silly or selfish said like that. She
was going to stay away because she wanted to have fun but at the same
time she didn't know if she was ready for the coven either. They
probably wanted her because otherwise she wouldn't have found where
to go. At least she forced herself to believe that but what if she
wasn't ready to think in the same direction they would even if it was
to save herself.
At time it sounded a bit
like giving up on her own personality and uniqueness and independence
just to be part of something bigger and she was yelling inside
thinking about who she was and what she wanted. Her ego would ripped
the world apart before letting her disappear. Though it had felt so
peaceful in her dream when she reached the seed of her consciousness
and let herself be one with the universe. It was different, it was
not like losing herself like she was doing now with the struggle, it
was also finding a different part of herself that she didn't know was
there.
There wasn't much she
could do though maybe Fireden would be her only stop before reaching
Evergreen Stop, and it was just one more day. She would leave
tomorrow and sleep in the night train and that would be it, nothing
to worry about much.
The first hostel she
stopped in front of had a blue sign at the door saying "Fire
Hostel" with a little drawing of a fireplace on the side. It
looked a bit strange, it reminded her the sort of place that might be
seen in the demon world where nothing was really good just enough not
to stand out. If anything looked rich you would get robbed, unless
you were in a gated part of the neighborhood. If anything looked too
bad, people would come and squat and take it by force because it
didn't belong to anyone anymore which was why nobody put effort into
it. It was a sort of balance keeping things even that seemed really
weird but in a way, if everyone had the same thing, it helped reduce
the trouble. Even though in the demon world it was just an evenly
spread chaos.
There was no chance to
rise above a little in was all out or nothing.
