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.
The excerpt, we start where we left off last week
On the top of that, the way to the cave seemed to take forever, even more than the trip to the shrine at the top of the mountains had taken. She wanted this day to finish. She was about to decided to give up when the music suddenly stop and a unique feminine voice started to sing like a prayer to the lions.
"We are there," Samantha said smiling as if she had been waiting for that her whole life. "This is the prayer of the last maiden before she was sacrificed to the demons, the cave can't be too far, we have to move closer, I have to watch this."
She didn't wait for anyone to answer. She didn't wait for Brownie to tell her that it was crazy that they didn't need to enter the demon cave but she was already walking toward the edge of the parade, moving forward where the crowd had thinned and Josh was following her, calling on Brownie.
"Come on, come on, we are going to lose her, there are too many people to be slow, come on."
Brownie wasn't been slow, she was testing the crowd for any danger but there seemed to be none. She sighed in relief as she followed Josh and Samantha. They ended up just in front on the left of the singer. The girl was a lot older than Brownie had expected the Maiden to be, probably as much as thirty or so. And there were two lions by her side, carried each by two men in costumes with fur around their torso and heads, long sleeves T-shirt and tights. It was a strange and beautiful sight. She was so white and pure, with a crone of white flower and the lions were so red like fire that they might as well burn her with their dance. What surprised Brownie the most was that except for the candles at the restaurant, so far, she hadn't seen any real fire. The lions were just decorated with it and nobody was carrying any. It was strange that a fire festival should have no fire at all.
