The Impish Mage Season 1

Chapter 37: The Enchantress Ghost Part 2

Later that night....

The group walk towards the replica village of Salem and look around to find the location where the grave marker is found. With the map in hand, Zak leads the gang to find one of the old cabins which is a replica of the old home.

Looking at the map, "According to the map, the grave was actually found right here."

When they arrive, they soon find a tree stump. Zak and Blitz look at the trunk of the tree.

"Hmm, judging by the many rings, I say this tree trunk is like around four hundred years old," Blitz says.

To his surprise and amazement, Alberto says, "All these years I've been searching around the wrong area."

"I believe so. This must be left of the tree where Margaret did her healing, you didn't notice because it was cut down hundreds of years ago," Blitz says.

"Well then, now we know where to look, we can get on digging," Millie says, and brings out a lot of shovels.

"Uh, where did you get these shovels?" Zoey questions.

"I found them in the shed nearby. Since we'll be digging, I figure we can use them," Millie says.

"Well then, let's start digging," Zak says.

And with that, everyone grabs a shovel and begins to dig in different areas around the tree.

After a while of searching, Moxxie hits something and calls out, "Guys, I hit something.

Hearing Moxxie, everyone rushes over as Moxxie digs out what he has hit with his shovel.

"What did you find?" Alberto asks.

"A box," Moxxie calls out.

Soon, Moxxie pulls out a brown box, looking really old as well. He places it down on the ground and begins dusting himself from the dirt he has. Alberto soon approaches and kneels down towards the box. His eyes are wide and picks up the box in astonishment and anxiety.

"Are you okay, Alberto?" Blitz asks.

"Just... excited is all..." Alberto answers.

He places the box down and opens the lid to reveal a book. However, the book isn't what they expect. They see a black box with a red upside down pentagram. What's more, there are strange designs that make it look kind of evil.

"That's the book. It looks kind of evil to belong to a wiccan healer," Topaz says.

"And you think there will be more items from the robberies as well as documents and other items," Wesley adds.

Alberto doesn't listen to them as he opens the book to see the pages inside.

"This doesn't look like a journal," Zak says.

Blitz soon looks at the pages and notices something off, "Hold on, this writing looks similar to the ancient Infernoian Writing. I remember learning about that language in school."

"What? But didn't you uh, you know..." Millie says.

"I know, and I can sense strong magic from it. Strong, dark, Thaumaratian Magic from this book," Blitz adds.

"Alberto, this doesn't seem to be a journal at all," Zoey adds.

Alberto turns to everyone and confesses, "Because it isn't, Mrs. Hall. It's a spellbook."

Everyone gasps in shock and is stunned by what Alberto said.

Then Alberto says, "The truth is, Margaret Howards isn't a wiccan, she is actually an enchantress, like a witch. An evil witch."
