Welcome to Tuesday Travel. Every Tuesday, I will be presenting an excerpt of Witch Raising: The Book of Fire, the book in which Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul, is undertaking an initiatory journey.
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.
They followed the parade like everyone else. There were stands with food and drinks on both side of the road. No cars to be seen anywhere. It seemed that normal life had stopped in the city for the time of the festival.
The night before, Brownie hadn't seen much but there were red paper lantern lights everywhere. With the sun reflecting on the paper, she didn't know if they were turned on or not. Every single house was made of the yellow sand stones and with the upper area painted in bright red color, like flames. The city wasn't not catching real fire anymore but it looked like it was still on fire. It felt hot.
They stopped at one of the stand to catch a drink.
"I'm not sure I'll be able to walk all the way to the cave," Josh said a bit out of breath. "This is intense."
He took out some sun cream tube and added some generously on his face and neck.
"It's the hottest I have ever been in my life," Brownie said. And then she remember when Sahel was going through his fire power. "Almost."
"Almost?" Josh said. "Seriously, what can be hotter than to be walking in the middle of the day under the desert sunlight?"
"Demon's fire," Samantha said.
"Demon's are a myth," Josh said.
"Can I have some cream?" Samantha asked.
Brownie didn't answer. Samantha's comment hit slightly too close to home. Maybe it was better for everyone to believe demons were a myth, that they didn't exist, that they were so far away if they did exist that they were irrelevant in their life. When she was going in town with Sahel, a lot of people didn't even seem to notice he was different. Some people just thought he had a weird costume, some where a bit more awake, like the kids at their school because they had seem demon powers but still the majority of people were going on with their life as if it was normal and as if nothing was happening. Brownie always wondered how it was possible but at the same time she was here following a parade with giant fire lion in every corner and her train of thoughts weren't really related to anything having to do with them. She was too much in her head to remember what they even looked like. She tried to remember the previous one at the street corner they had just passed but except for it being red and big, she didn't really remember much.
