Cry Witch (Arke Stories)

“This woman is a practitioner of the forbidden arts, those which weaken our God’s will, and which rob from us the aether from which life is made. They cannot be permitted to do the work of gods. It is not the place of man to do so. Under your noses, this evil woman uses trickery that could make you believe you are attracted to another man. She causes your crops to die and your animals and children to become ill. Perhaps she has done some good in your life, to stay accepted and remain unpunished for using the power she wields; but with that same power she commits unspeakable evils. This power has a dark side, and it tempts all who use it. It is because it is the Demon Mammon, and not the gods, who gave mankind the power to control the aether, and that is what magic truly is. It was by her will that we learned to play with the power of the gods, and it is by Elan’s will that we, his Arbiters, will undo that evil. Today we will remove those powers from her. By Elan’s will, we will cleanse this witch, and permit only the gods and those chosen by them to partake in their power. No longer will those powers be stolen by the undeserving.” The Arbiters of Elan march across Ziastra, hunting and executing Magicians. As word spreads about their cruelty and their misguided quest Magicians from all across the land band together in rebellion; a terrible war is coming. In the south-west a young sorcerer's apprentice, Mona, begins to have disturbing dreams. A terrible power calls to her. A power so great that, perhaps, it could put an end to the Arbiters' plans once and for all. - Cry Witch is an independent work written by R. S. McAdam.
