《The Dark Times》Article 14: New Illusion for Summoned Brooms
Advertisement
A successful test has been made of a new spell that is set to make Wendaleen the two-hundred-year old Scots nature witch the fortune she has always wanted.
For the past lunar month, the spritely nature witch, has been travelling all over the country and summoning her broom to her side without the everyday folk even noticing the flying stick,
There had been various setbacks but not from the be-spelled broom, as Wendaleen, being a nature witch, likes to travel naked when possible.
At first she agreed to wear a robe but after it got caught in the doors of the Inverness to Edinburgh train and pulled away from her body to reveal nothing underneath she enjoyed the horrified reaction too much to want to replace the robe around her body once it was released from the doors at the next station.
Sixteen-year old Rory McDunnit kept re-iterating that he had tried to open the doors or simply rip it free for the whole fifteen minutes it took to the next station.
He was shaking and twitchy when interviewed.
‘I didn’t want to see a naked body,’ he protested shakily, ‘especially an old one but she just posed against the internal wall. I was trying to free her cape and she just stood there!’
‘I told him he should enjoy the view,’ Wendaleen said when asked about the incident later.
It was only after she was told that the spell test would have to be cancelled if she was arrested that Wendaleen agreed to wear the robe again.
This didn’t stop the robe gaping at Newcastle Station, or billowing enough to show a tidy but wrinkled rear end at York. The broom both day and night continued at both high and low altitudes to be seen as a large modern drone.

At Peterborough the Warlock Homeguard managed to encourage Wendaleen into proper clothes with a lock spell, while she spouted sixteen different curses in indignation. With the spell inventing genius that she is she rapidly unravelled the lock spell.
At King’s Cross the sight of the long internal walks of the underground trains was too much temptation and Wendaleen somehow managed to strip and stroll from one end to the other on the Hammersmith & City line. Along the way she propositioned five mature gentlemen, sidled up to three younger men asking for apples and tried to encourage a few mature women to uncover. She was eventually stopped by a Nature warlock who lived near Paddington station who was only too happy to speak to a Wiccan of the countryside about the difficulties of practicing natural witchcraft in an urban area.
Taken with Mistcroft, Wendaleen dressed and he joined her on her journey around Britain to see if the broom could travel as a misrepresented drone over all terrain and for a full month.
There were few reports of the drone in the countryside even when passing close to farmsteads as it was moving quite fast but there were more complaints about the ‘drone’ in urban areas. Since the spell held up and the broom was consistently mistaken for a modern drone rather than a flying broom the spell testers have declared it stable and it has been released for general use.
The spell is called the Droneaway and is copy righted to Wendaleen for the next three-hundred years. Wendaleen we hear is happy to have finally returned to nature in the highlands at her remote cabin, and there are rumours that Mistcroft has joined her for an education in the finer nature arts. Wendaleen is already working on her next new spell although she won’t say what it is.
Quothe, the raven.

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
