was a small house.
Although to be honest, seemed small. Actually when you came it seemed much larger and well lit.
the outside it looked dark and dreary, I suppose that was the intention of its owner, as the few "lucky ones" who dared to cross that portal had always chirping from again (although no one was sure of that house had ever been new) Carmenza had no idea that the delicacy of maintaining their well-lit interior, warm and tidy.
But there was an image to maintain and in the profession of Carmenza this was very important, without it maybe respect is lost and a witch, respect was everything. Because
Carmenza was convinced that witchcraft was an art, of course, but his greatness was in full use when it was needed.
children and calves were brought to the world for decades without need for a simple spell had saved crops, curing diseases and curses thrown up without a word to arcane, with just looks fake and practiced in the mirror.
Only in extreme situations had used the art and not understand why Lily because I was washing dishes without it.
The blond girl with emerald eyes was very pretty, but beneath his tanned skin, that hair uncombed and fully patched clothing was very difficult to realize.
- Strengthens the spirit - said Carmenza, like reading the mind of Lily and she repressed the simplest curses he had learned, together with those spells that could do the housework while she would have the opportunity to waste time on anything else .
- also, I hope that everything is clean for when you get
Lily, the apprentice witch, she stood still, forgot how much that bothered to wash the dishes and stared at Carmenza who aspired to a huge puff cigarette that smelled of cocoa. Lily
mother could not remember more than Carmenza, of course it was not his daughter (the witches rarely had offspring) and had accepted as true the fact that a wolf had left on the doorstep and from there had therefore adopted at the point of impact and knew not to question the truths of his teacher.
- Are you going too? - Lily said with a lump in the throat
- I will not be the only one not go - Carmenza said staring into his thoughts
- Nothing has gone is back - Lily replied
- Well maybe I do, I might not, but the earth is dying, the land is tied to the king and this is dying, if there is no heir to the land will suffer and not talk about the wars that will surely come, one thing you have to understand - Carmenza paused and stared at her - The land is the king and the king is the earth.
Lily saw a week and a night Carmenza told him early the next day was going.
- but every evening you will know if I'm right, just before sunset wherever you are a black bird come to visit, chirping only once, if you do not want to hear that I am in great danger, but if it comes it will mean nothing you can do and for me, either way do not go looking for me, this land lost in the mountains needs you, you know what else you should know and learn it alone.
Lily did not cry, I had forgotten that was, Carmenza swallowed his pain and knew it, but not repressed.
Carmenza The next morning it was loaded with little clothes and black staff, did a couple of months had made the Iris that was gray and was dismissed without loving words, only information relating to care of the house and people the people, but when the sun went behind Carmenza Lily looked at her and that was enough, was the look of his mother, who loved her, loved her and it hurt to leave, no "I love you" would have replaced the time.
That day was very busy for Lily, had to help a cow give birth and act as judge in a family feud by a pig, for them the girl had no authority to decide, but Lily was a good learner, spat the ground and glared at a glance, after waiting some curse be silent accepted his word.
That evening he waited at the door and the bird appeared, like a raven ordinary, so commonplace also crowed that Lily thought it was a joke. But it could not be otherwise with Carmenza.
Lily spent 3 weeks and began accustomed to being alone and wait for the bird in the evening, but it happened that one day the bird came and looked at her with a look of nostalgia.
was the look of that day when Carmenza left, tried but failed chirping, no sound came out and suddenly took flight. Lily tried to mourn
that night, he could not.
could not sleep.
