Chapter 211 - Trinity - Witch Magic 2 (VOLUME 2)

~~

Trinity

~~

The days that I didn't have wolf training I had Witch training. It was difficult at first, but I eventually got the hang of it. It didn't take long for me to get used to the flow of magic through my body but it was still exhausting.

Moving magic took a lot of effort and drained a lot of energy. I was beyond tired everyday that I worked with Crawford and Eldrige but I had a lot I still needed to learn. There were a lot of things that they wanted, and needed, to teach me before we went back home.

We started first with shielding magic. Shielding myself and others would be a great thing, especially if I were hanging in the back of a fight. It would even come in handy when I was in the front of the fight.

So, I started with blocking things. First it was just how Reece told me they trained Vincent with his shockwave magic. Crawford, Eldrige, and Gabriel took turns throwing different things at me. I admit, I got hit a lot at first. But it only took me about twenty minutes to make a shield that would protect me from the small projectiles.

After that little task was done, I needed to make a shield that would stop people from entering. I had to keep people away from me like a shield was meant for. This was using the magic more as a barrier than a shield.

This part was harder, and I admit, it took me two days worth of practicing to make one strong enough to actually work like it was supposed to. I could keep all three of them out when I wanted to.

I also practiced using these shields as prisons. If I could make a shield around someone I could stop them from moving altogether. After some practice I managed to make shield prisons of various sizes. I could make them large enough for several people, or small enough for just one person.

Crawford also gave me the task of forming a shield that let certain people in while keeping out the others. This type of shield was by far the hardest. I could set parameters, like keeping out enemies, keeping out men, or keeping out specific people. But this type of shield required a lot of concentration and a lot of magic. But the benefit was that those allowed in could just keep walking like nothing was there, and those being kept out would bounce off an invisible wall.

Over a few lessons I worked on making shields that would keep out specific people, like keep Crawford out but let in Eldrige and Gabriel, or some variation of that. I was the most drained on these days, they were the worst since that first day. But I did it, and I was immensely proud of myself for it.

After shields, apparently, the next logical step was bindings. I was going to be able to either block people with my shield or magically tie them up. And I won't deny that my mind went somewhere it shouldn't have when I heard the word bindings. Bad me, stop thinking like that during training.

It felt weird at first to tie up my friends and instructors. But I started using the bindings as part of pranks to make the practice go easier. People didn't find it as funny as I did when they suddenly found their feet magically bound together when they were trying to walk. I laughed a little more than I should have when they fell. But I was nice and never let anyone get hurt. I used my other magic to make a last minute soft landing. I'm a kind hearted prankster, to everyone except Reece cause he's fair game.

The bindings were very simple magic to learn. That or I was just starting to learn it all faster. But I was able to move on from them fairly quickly.

The next thing I wanted to work on was my whirl wind. I knew I had a mark for it under my warlock side and I had done it once before so I knew I could do it again. I just needed to practice, practice, practice.

I tried remembering and imagining everything that I had thought of that night to make the whirlwind happen but that was to no avail. I had thought about the wind, about tornados, and moving. It took several days of meditating and trying. But after a while I finally got it, sort of. I managed to move five feet.

It took me another week of practice to move anything more substantial, but by the time I was done I was moving all over the training grounds. I managed to move at least fifty yards by the time the week was over and the feel was exhilarating. At not once did I ever get dizzy from spinning around inside a miniature tornado.

I could also use my mind link like it was a cell phone. I had been using it with my guards and other pack members back home, but I could use it with the warlocks now as well. And now that I had it figured out, they could use it to contact me now too.

The others would need to practice their part on their own, using it to speak to each other as well as to me, but I could apparently use my mind link to contact people from a long distance away. And if they concentrated really hard on their mind link to me, assuming I had opened one to them before, then they could contact me as well.

If someone tried to call me, for lack of a better word for it, I would end up hearing a small buzzing inside my head and just instinctively know who was on the other end. I tried it a lot with Reece and my guards while they were training, effectively bothering them while they were busy, but I found it fun. And we had them practice the link the other way, calling me as well.

The real test I put it through was when I called home to mom. She didn't expect the buzzing then the words coming from inside her head out of nowhere, but she was happy to hear from me just the same. That was how I learned that I had no distance limits on my mind link. And, I had a gut feeling I could use that link to call in reinforcement that I hadn't even met yet. I felt it as what I was effectively calling the alpha summons.

This alpha summons meant that I would contact every alpha in the world. I would summon them to my aid. Or, I could narrow it down to a specific area. If I was fighting somewhere and needed back up, I would contact the alphas that could get there in time and they would be compelled to come help their queen. That would come in handy too, huh.

The most difficult magic that I was being taught was the magic circles. Just like the one on the large parchment back at the resort, the magic circles were difficult to create. I learned them and their meanings no problem, that wasn't the issue. No, the issue was that if everything wasn't done just perfectly, then they were ineffective.

I was learning circles for binding. That is as in binding someone's magic away permanently. There were circles for locating things, circles for imprisonment, and circles for death. That last one I would not be practicing, I would only be learning what it looked like. There were others, but these ones were the ones I thought would come in handy the most.

And last, but not least, it was time for me to learn the way warlocks and witches fought in combat. I had seen it first hand, but I didn't know the dynamics of it. And apparently, the fighting styles varied significantly based on the person and affinity.

As my witch affinity was mostly tied to wind I would be better at that type than others, but I also had three different elemental runes on me and that meant I was good with all the elements.

It was time for me to take everything I had learned and put it all together. And by everything I meant everything. I was going to be taking what I had learned from Sebastian and Hideki, from Crawford and Eldrige, from Lucas, Gabriel, Reece, Vincent, Shawn, Shane, David, Dietrich, Noah, Carter, Grandfather and his tutors, hell even what I learned from Jim back when I was training on my own. I needed to make a fighting style that wasn't quite wolf and wasn't quite warlock.

I had learned a lot of hand to hand combat. I had learned fencing when I was a little girl. I knew how to protect myself until my life got turned upside down, then I learned to adapt some more.

Have I been on top of everything? No. Have I been perfect? No. But no one ever is, and I was learning, adapting, and becoming something more every day. I was evolving.

Now, as I evolved and ascended, I needed to fight like a queen and a goddess. I practiced with Lucas and Reece for several days, using not just my wolf side and not just my witch side, but also the side of me that used to think that I was nothing but a slightly special human. I put everything I had into my fighting and training. I had already proven my abilities to Reece and the others before, but that wasn't enough. I needed to perfect this, I needed to unite everything that I was.
