THE BOOK OF FIRE Snippets List

Welcome to the snippets of Witch Raising: The Book of Fire.
The Book of Fire is book 5.1 in the Demon Series and book one in the Witch Raising series. It's part of two series because it continues Brownie's adventures just after Fairy World but it takes her into her own initiatic journey of self-discovery.

Book of Fire (finished draft) Book One Witch Raising Series, Book 5.1 in the Demon Series

Brownie has had enough. Enough of not knowing what her future holds, enough of being told not to use magick even when her magick saves the day, enough of dealing with Sahel being worried and overbearing, enough of being told that everything she knows about herself is wrong. She doesn't say goodbye to anyone, and she leaves as if she is running for her life, and maybe she is. She takes the train across the country to go meet a witches' coven who she hope might help her with the half baked spell she still feels hanging above her head. But the trip isn't peaceful, in the first city, demons are waiting...

Snippets

Here are all the snippets of Witch Raising: The Book of Fire as they appeared on the blog. The Book of Fire is an unedited finished draft.

Tuesday Travel 153: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

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.

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 had an image of the demons in her mind the wind blew toward the cave, stronger and stronger making the trees branches yell as it passed the leaves were falling down all around them, the wind was coming up but didn't touch them, the candles where shining brighter their flam more and more straight and elongated in the wind. The incense was burning in Brownie's hand but she didn't dare to put it down hence it might break the spell. The image of the demons was coming clearer and clearer to her mind as the wind reached the demons one by one and messed with their head. Every time they inhale, every time they breathed there was something coming inside them, something poisonous, almost lethal. She hadn't know what she wanted them to do but know she knew. They started fighting with each other. The humans in the distance were yelling, crying, running away. She didn't know if they were going to be safe but that wasn't her problem anymore, she had freed them now they had to do the rest and run for their lifes. Brownie was deep inside the battle, she was ridding the wind and it was taking her from demons to demons, all fourteen of them were here and all fourteen of them were under her spell she could almost control them if she wanted but she didn't, she wanted to let them self destruct, that was something they were good at and that was pretty impressive.

Tuesday Travel 152: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

Despite the small brise, the candles' flams were steady.

"I call on the moon, oh bright that shines, master of the wind for all eternity." She lit the green candle. "Rise the wind and let it blow."

The wind turned around the circle but didn't enter it, it was like a swirl around them and Brownie felt Josh shift a little bit but she didn't have time for him. The wind wsa also rising inside of her, she could feel the power of it blowing in her chest raging to get out. She took all the fourteen incense tick in her hands and lit them using the green candle, making sure she had all fourteen of them, at the same time and didn't forget any of them.

"Rise the wind and let it blow." She repeated, the last word half eaten but the wind growing now up from the circle ground toward the sky.

"Find the demons and mess with their mind for tonight and tomorrow they wouldn't know, where they start and end."

Tuesday Travel 151: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

The root cracked the ground beneath her, entered deep into the couche of rock and earth and sand and grew fast throught the magma conducting the hot temperature toward her core. The roots still kept growing until they reached the center of earth and went to attach themselves around the core of iron. They were solidly planted and they would keep her and Josh safe no matter what. Brownie took another deep breath and looked around. It was almost the full moon, maybe one day or two before it and that was just going to help.

"By the power the darkness that cover every corner of the Earth and keep the witch from being seen." Brownie said litting up the first black candle.

"By the power of darkness that hide my spell and haunt my ennemies," she said litting the second one.

Tuesday Travel 150: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

"Let's start."

Brownie entered the circle and she felt some chill as if the wind was already starting to grow in the place, cold and icy even before start the spell. It was strange but it somehow boosted her confidence. Josh sat in the circle next to her. It was wiered to have someone with her. It wasn't her first time but Josh was basically a stranger, she had no idea to know how he was going to react to her performing magic and it was making her feel self conscious. Something she couldn't really afford right now. She took a deep breath through her nose and exaled really slowly through her mouth trying to push Josh away from the center of her though. She was just in front of her supply, all she needed was to start but she decided to spend a few minute grounding herself. Josh's essence felt volatile at best next to her. Best case senario, she wouldn't have to use his energy, worse case senario he would freak out when she did and so she needed to be prepared and grounded for both of them. The ground was warm from the sunlight it had bathed in all afternoon. It was getting really dark now but Brownie didn't care. She imagine roots leaving her body under her bottom and legs, under her feet and going down right to the center of the earth.

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week.

"Nope," he said. "Just tell me what to do."

"We'll sit in the center, you will only think about sending the wind to the demons and don't talk, don't move until I tell you it's over," Brownie said.

"Seems doable," Josh answered.

Brownie placed everything at the right place in the circle. Then step outside and read the spell one more time to memorise it. It wasn't long, just, it seemed a bit odd to her, not that something was wrong just that it seemed too easy to have found the book and all the supplies whenever she jsut needed it.

"Do you think Samantha's doing well," Josh asked.

Brownie looked toward the cave as if tryig to see Samantha on the other side through the rocks.

"I'm sure she is doing what she can," Brownie said.

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last time

"How did she know there were fourteen of them?" Josh asked. He was back in his chatty mood.

"The entire city knows, they are all in with it because they don't know how to defend themselves."

"But if she is a witch..." Josh said.

"Then she knows better than anyone else that messing with demons is dangerous and shouldn't be attempted," Brownie said.

"Then why are you doing it?" Josh asked.

"Because there is nothing else I can do and I'm already in danger anyway," Brownie said.

"So how are you going to rise wind without the help of the goddess?" Josh asked.

"I'll use my own energy and if it fails, I'll use yours."

Josh swallowed.

"Right," he said.

Brownie could feel the magic in him flicker at the thought. It was strange.

"Have you done magic before?" Brownie asked.

Josh hesitated a second which seemed a bit strange to her.

Tuesday Travel 147: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

Brownie found near the demons but not so near that she could be heard or smelled in the middle of some trees. she had the wind at her back so just sitting in the middle of the circle she drew on the floor she could protect the candles.

She didn't really know what to do with Josh, just that in case things turned bad, she would have to pull some energy from him.

"Let's do this," he said. "Shall we call on Hecates?"

Brownie gave him a strange look wondering where he had gotten this name from.

"We aren't calling on anyone, we are just going to rise a wind of confusion and let it carry the confusion to the demons in front of us," Brownie said.

"All fourteen of them?"

"Yes, hopefully," Brownie said.

Tuesday Travel 146: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

The demons were there, standing in front of the cave, or more exactly at the back exit of the cave. There was no sign of Samantha anywhere and Brownie was sort of happy about it. The only think bothering her was that if they saw Samantha cast a spell or at least attempt to cast one, they might as well believe she was her and then Samantha would be in deep trouble. On one hand, a part of her was wondering if it wouldn't have been better to give her Viorel's pendent for the spell but on the other hand Brownie needed it to get close to the demons and if her spell worked, Samantha too would be out of danger. It was all about casting it right and for that she needed a place away from the wind to keep the candles and the incense lit while at the same time being a place from where the wind could rise.

"Witches are criptic, most of the time," Brownie answered. "Very Cryptic."

"Personally I don't really believe in all that stuff," Josh said.

"Why doesn't that surprise me," Brownie answered.

It fact she was surprise, she had felt the pulse when holding his hand there was something definitely magical going on with Josh and she bet that she was going to discover it sooner than later.

"I've got all I need, let's go do something good," Brownie said.

Josh didn't answer but just followed her, he was already starting to stay quiet.

Brownie smiled. She didn't know how she would have broken that news to Josh but he didn't say anything more. The old woman packed carefully the moon encens. To an untrained eye, it would have seemed that all the shelves were disorganised but to Brownie, she could see the beauty of it. Every candle, every incense and every herb were put just as the right place not to interact with each other. It had probably taken for evet to organise them that way and memorise how to do it. It was a bit crazy too, the most effective magic store she had ever seem.

"Normally, people come her to get herbs for their cooking," the old woman said.

Brownie smiled at that and paid for the incense.

"You better come back in one piece," the old woman said. "Trisha is going to love it when she read your palm again."

"I don't think she'll see much more than she already did," Brownie said.

"Trisha always sees much more than she says, learn well from her," the old woman said.

And with that Josh and Brownie were on their way.

"What was that all about?" Josh asked.

"I can't let that one on the other side of the street see anything I do or scare my customers away," the old woman said.

"I can understand that," Brownie said. "I saw what happened yesterday."

"I saw you too," the woman said.

Brownie nodded. There was a way of witches recognizing each other somehow. She didn't understand it yet but she knew something about this woman was magical.

"You're going to mess with the demons?" The woman said.

"You said not too tell you," Brownie said.

"They are fourteen of them at the moment," the woman answered so you'll need fourteen sticks. "Better to lit them together and quickly so that the last doesn't have a chance to be alerted when things go crazy."

"How do you know what we..." Josh said.

"Just be quiet boy," the old woman said winking at him. "She will need you to be quiet."

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week

They walked toward the cave and passed in front the second hostel Brownie had visited the day before, the old woman was sitting outside on a chair with her knitting work on her knees and she seemed asleep. Brownie looked at the other side of the street. The other old woman who had been arguing with her was sweeping the floor with an old broom.

"Wait a minute," Brownie said crossing the floor.

Josh took a second to follow her.

"Excuse me," Brownie said. "Would you know where I could find some incense?"

"What incense do you need?" The old woman said. "There are plenty at the temple."

Brownie looked at her straight in her face to try an gauge her reaction.

"I need moon incense for..."

"Don't tell me what it's for," the woman reply.

She pushed a black door so hidden in the black wall of what seemed to be her store that Brownie nor Josh had realized it was there.

The followed her inside. The place was dark as a heavy black curtain was obscuring the only window. Brownie rose an eyebrow at it.

"Because whatever she is going to cast isn't going to do anything," Brownie said.

"And how do you know that? She also said you are a fraud," Josh answered.

"Believe what you want," Brownie said. "I don't have time to argue."

She opened the book to the table content and read through it quickly. It was there, on the second page, a confusion spell for a large group.

She opened the book to page 53. She didn't need many things. Two black candles for protection, a green one for the wind and moon incense. The candle would be easy to find but the moon incense was a bit of a tricky one.

There were a store, not to far from their hostel. They stopped and got the candles.

"I need incense," Brownie said. A confusion spell was a wind spell, she hadn't used much wind spells before and she wanted to have all the chances on her side.

"I don't know where to find that, I'm not from here." Josh said. Maybe getting rid of Samantha had been a mistake. She definitely would have known where to find insence at least it would have been written in her book.

"Can we stop at a temple and get some?" Josh asked.

"Not really I need something very particlar," Brownie said.
