Damien was rather reluctant to change the subject now they were on it, but he feared it would push to the discovery of his murders...He sighed breathing out heavily. He then summoned a flame that danced in his hand. "I came to collect my thoughts of the future. I am looking to the past to gain knowledge of the future. There are dark things coming to Grievance Ridge and I fear for the worst that will come. The Coven has grown greatly, but that is not to say that we are at our most powerful. I came here to gather a strategy and plan for the future. I will soon seek council with the Elders and go around the High Priestess and make a plan take immediate effect. I am looking to command an army against the wraiths. We aren't doing nearly enough to eradicate the threat." He explained.

~Enemies Revealed~Pain for Enemies~

Here in spells I'm giving people the right to make up a witch spell. It seems a bit fun to read a form of poetry that could cause all sorts of things to happen. Note by making a spell here you give permission for such a spell to be used within the group should the MoDs feel that it would work in the group. You writing within this topic at all gives permission to group members to use ideas that you have developed for witchcraft without honorable mentionings as it is in the group already and can be seen here as your original thought.

Damien rolled his eyes and put the cigarette out in the sand ebfore grabbing another beer. "I'm their brother not their father. If they can't understand that I work my ass off to make sure they have a good life then they clearly have their own problems to be worked out. I'm not going to throw a party just because they made it through one part of their lives. They need to learn that people aren't going to always be there for them and they need to learn that life is hard and will continue to get harder. The sooner they pick up on that little fact the better off they are." He sighed taking a sip of his beer. "I love them I really do, but if they try and count on anyone for anything they will only find disappointment. I don't want themt o go through life and hope for thigns that will never come. I'm sure I'll go to their graduation, but that doesn't mean I'm goingot motivate them all their lives. Once Salem Ascends he is gettign ajob and working toward getting his own place. He can't live with me forever." Damien said standing up for a moment and taking a few steps to soak his feet in the rising tide.

((gtg be on tomorrow))

Damien nodded, "Only thing is I feel way too loaded down with coven business and work that I can't take time out of my day to watch him play a game or sing or show off pictures...I will probably miss his graduation too." He explaiend. He realized quickly. He may stop at nothing to get what he wanted, but that also meant he wans't taking enough stops for his siblings. Variel was right, he was their parental figure. Which meant they probably did what they do for his attention. He paid them little to no mind when he was busy and it wa shsi fault. He felt like shit now. He downed hsi beer and set it in the sand before lighting a cigarette.

Damien rolled his eyes, "I'm not in the mood to discuss my feelings on Wraith's, or the dangers they pose to our precious royals of the Coven. If you aren't going ot discuss sometihng less about what I'm feeling then silence yourselfand drink your dirnk." He said as the tide finally set in with small waves. the cove was so set back form the open ocean when high tide did come in it was like filling a pool upw ith water. It happened slowly, but surely. "I expect Salem is excited. The school year is nearly ending and his birthday will be coming up real soon. He is supposed to be getting valedictorian this year and give a huge graduation speech. You know he has succeeded in arts and sports. I hate I haven't been to any of his art shows or performances or any of his games not even this year...Do you think he hates me for it?" He asked curiously with the upset feeling that even in his rise to power his siblings may lose their lvoe for him.

Damien raised an eyebrow and pushed his sunglasses on top of his head. "What are you talking about?"
'Damnit! I need to be careful about what I'm feeling..damn empathy link.' He thought to himself hating that she can feel his inner emotions to the point of practically reading his mind. he hated not feeling in control and someone reading his emotions made him feel like he was not in control of his own mind. "I am just worried about the Wraith's. More deaths will be coming soon. I can feel it. We have lost two High Priestess's to the Wraith's and I'm waiting for one to get ahold of the current one. No one in the Coven will admit it, but Wraith's are far more powerful than any Coven Witch. their powers can grow without restrictions or restraint. The Coven can't control Wraith's and they are able to become as powerful as the High Priestess." He smirked slightly at the thought of him being able to gain more power and be able to take control of the Coven. he could take the Seven Trials of Hecate again and become the leader of the Coven. If everytihng went to his plan then the lord of the Underworld would surely bless him with more power. However, Damien has yet to have a child. No doubt the dark lord would desire his payment soon enough and if it were not to be Damien's first born it would be someone of his bloodline or someone else's infant. He wouldn't wnat to put Salem or Erin through such a thing. he didn't ahve to worry about Variel because as far as he knew she only had sex with him. She feared what may happen shoudl mortals discover her secret and it only made him enjoy her company more as he hated mortals and she avoided them.

((sorry for shortness just randomly lost my place and mindset...my bad.))

Damien smiled, "I'm glad you are getting out and being active...want something to drink?" He said digging in his cooler for a bud light platinum beer for himself and grabbing a peach fuzzy navel smirnoff for her. He popped the tops off of both of them. "Did you get Salem and Erin to school alright." He asked taking a sip of his drink. The air was a bit cool with a breeze, but the hot sun and humidity made up for it. the waves were calm in the cove and the tide didn't seem at all existent.

k

good glad to help

well they aren't freedoms if they are restricted lol...but I understand your question.
Sleepwalkers are forced to turn into their animal form every night until dawn. They are watched closely by the Coven given they would not be Sleepwalkers if they did not commit an act against the Coven. Sleepwalkers are forced to answer the call of the Coven whenever it may be no matter the situation. Should they fail to do so consequences are severe. Think of it like someone being on parole after being out of jail. The Coven will keep tabs on them and they are forced to check in when the Coven says so. If they fail to do so they get punished. The Coven acting as a parole officer will keep tabs on them and make sure they are obeying the laws and being good little dilenquents. After a year and a day of being a Sleepwalker with no troubles they are made into Familiars to prove they have earned the respect of the Coven once more.
Sorry if this doesn't help I'm willing to help out a bit more.

Then it would be a funny looking golden retriever trying to wear and walk in a shirt. The pants would most like just fall off.

Damien was parked off of the dirt road that led to this part of the beach. He had his sunglasses on and a pair of black gym shorts and no shirt. He walked toward the water when he felt Variel close by. he looked around, but didn't see her. She must have been in dog form. He walked down to the beach with a small cooler of drinks and food. He had a couple of lounge chairs over his shoulder. Once he reached the shoreline he set up the chairs and put the cooler between them. He kicked off his flip flops and laid his head back to soak in the sun. he expected his familiar would catch his scent soon enough. He had to get away from the pressures of being the High Priest for a little while and still kept his phone on him just incase Erin or Salem needed something while at school. He normally let hsi siblings do their own thing and trusted that if they did anything stupid they would accept the consequences like adults. He was less concerned about them getting in trouble and more concerned about what might happen should someone discover he was a Wraith what might happen to them and him?

sounds good you first.

I certainly wouldn't tear off. Familiar's undress before shifting. Every day a Sleepwalker must remove their clothes ebfore nightfall at which time they shift. If they were a small bird their clothes would suffocate them. If they transform into the less common creatures like a bear then they will rip if not removed. Most are smart enough to remove their clothing though.

✧The Seven Trials of Hecate✧
Damien knew that if the high Priestess didn't nominate him among the candidates for the Seven Trials of Hecate the Elders would. His plans were coming together and he was going to become leader of the Coven at last. It seemed only fitting to him that the High Priestess would kill herself to let him rise to her position of power. She knew too much and was too powerful to kill without suspicions rising against him. This was the perfect murder. The First trial took place as the Trial of Elements. With Twelve nominated candidates by the Elders and the High Priestess, Damien included, two failed to produce two elements right off while another girl summoned her power over water as well as atmokinesis. She unfortunately died through a bolt of lightening striking her. Damien passed by drawing the blood from a rat. His act of hemokinesis was proven by the Elders a dangerous, but acceptable element as he showed complete control. As such he impressed the Elder's enough to go first for the next trial.
Nine candidates went on to perform the Trial of Will. Damien used the power of Concilium on the High Priestess proving that even he could control her mind as he made her take a dagger and nearly kill herself with it halting the action within a fraction of a second before she committed the act. The Elder's wanted to elect him directly at that moment as the new leader of the Coven, but the High Priestess insisted that nine others still remained and by tradition all trials must be taken and succeeded before one can be chosen. Damien felt her fear and was more than happy to amuse himself with her antics and accepted he will go on before he is considered as the leader of the Coven. Three others failed in the Trial of Will leaving only six Witches left for the Seven Trials of Hecate and the candidacy of High Priestess/Priest of the Grievance Ridge Coven. The third trial took place as the Trial of Balance. Each was assigned a different being to revive back to life using their own lifeforce to do so. Damien was given the girl who died during the first trial, but refused her as he revived the rat that he killed during the first trial. Worry and concern became clearly seen upon the Elder's faces as he refused to revive a fellow Witch and instead performed the power upon a rat. He then explained his actions. "The girl who died with little to no control over her powers knew the risk. She accepted her fate when she accepted the council's nomination of her. She could have easily turned down the position to partake in the trials. Her lesson will be taught and learned in Hell. She was foolish to think herself able to perform something she had little knowledge of. To revive her would upset the balance of things. What lesson could be learned if she does not suffer for her mistakes?" A nineteen year old girl finally revived her and spoke against Damien's statement. "Balance is never undone if a lesson is learned during the balancing of such a thing. It was not life and death to be balanced it was pride and modesty to be balanced. As damien said she could have easily turned it down. Pride got the best of her. I brought her to life so she may learn modesty." The elder's were very impressed with both Witches. Impressed that both knew and understood the balance of things where Damien would not take unnecessary risk and the other would to prove a point. Three more failed to revive their host and were excused from the trials. The third was a twenty-four year old Witch who revived a snake who had been beheaded. Damien saw no true competition in either of the girls was happy to go on into the more dangerous trials. The Trial of Spirit took place and the remaining three applicants for the position of Leader of the Coven were to descend into the netherworld using Descensum. Each Witch held their own personal Hell as all Witches do and all Witches are damned to Hell no matter the circumstances of their life. “Spiritu duce, in me est. Deduc me in tenebris vita ad extremum,ut salutaret inferi. Descensum!” The three recited the incantation to descend laying on their backs and descending into Hell. Their heads all together and the hourglass was set for sun up. The ninteen year old girl came back first her fear of drowning was her Hell and she stated that she was set to be pushed off a cliff and drown endlessly and as she died she would find herself back on the cliff and falling again and again. Damien returned with two hours to spare. The Elder's asked him what was his Hell and he admitted that his Hell was to lose control. He had no influence over others and he was completely mortal. He was set to be ridiculed constantly by both Witches and Mortals for not being able to do anything for himself. He found himself crawling on the floor naked and being beaten. However, he did not admit to seeing a man in black. The man was smiling and offered a helping hand up. He told Damien that no matter what he wanted to help push him to rule over the Witches. Damien would not have made it out of his Hell had it not been for the man in black. He was to going to die had he not saved him. Damien didn't know who the man was, but he had his suspicions and knew that there was more than simple witches who held influence in the way the world turned. This man was one of those who held power even above Witches. Damien did not tell the Elder's of this and felt that if he did he would be condemned because no other recording to his knowledge speak of a man in black coming forth to a regular Witch only Wraiths. The twenty-four year old Witch turned to dust as the sands ran out. he learned quickly that the sands in the hourglass were ashes of those who did not make it as someone scooped up a few ashes and emptied them into the hourglass.
Finally, the Trial of Death came. Many Wraith's held such power, but so did a few Witches. the High Priestess alone held complete control over such a power and Damien was looking to replace her. Since the nineteen year old returned from her Hell first she was set to go first. Necromancy was a dangerous power and it was not the friendliest. The Coven went into a graveyard by the light of a blood moon. The girl raised a dead cat across the street and sent it to awaken more as the cat clawed at grave stones more zombies rose up and at such a point she played a bit of fun making them do the dance to 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson. Damien did not summon zombies but proved his necromancy, to ensure the Elder's did not think him too dark, by dispelling the zombies the other Witch had summoned.
At last Damien was to face his last trial while the other continued on. The Trial of Prophecy meant the Witches had to perform Divination. Damien failed almost entirely. He was unable to perform Divination and therefore was not permitted to continue in the trials.
✧Death Becomes Her✧
Once the new High Priestess had been identified the ninteen year old girl was put into a ritual known as the The Sacred Blessing". It was at this point that the old High Priestess bestowed all of her other powers upon the girl to become High Priestess as well as all of her knowledge of her reign. Which meant all of her Knowledge of Damien committing so many murders. Damien knew once the High Priestess committed suicide so that the new High Priestess amy acquire full power the new one will have to be disposed of. Damien also knew that he would be unable to kill the new High Priestess himself as with the blessing of power the old High Priestess cast a blessing of protection before dying. Damien had to find a way to kill her and make sure that no others held knowledge of him. He worked hard to summon the man in black once more. He was not about to make another trip into his Hell again. However, Damien at last came about old scripts which spoke of the man in black being invoked in the woods at night while dark magic was brewing. Damien had to do something and therefore he did all he could for a year. It was Erin's birthday and he wanted his little sister to have the best birthday ever. Sure she was little and easy to please, but he wanted his family to be happy. He invited the entire Coven to celebrate and eventually he was lost in the numbers. He kidnapped a teen Witch who was only 17. He dragged himitnot he forest and strippe dhim down. then he covered him in dog blood and recited a chant offering the young male Witch to the dark lord who reigns over all powers blessed upon those who practice the ancient art of witchcraft. The boy vanished entirely into the earth as the man in black was summoned forth. "You seek power and I was unable to give you the true power you sought for most. You have pleased me greatly and I am honoured by your sacrifice of blood. I expect he shall come in handy soon enough, but for now...I will grant you with your power. When you have a child their soul shall belong to me. This is all in exchange for your power and you will find the High Priestess disposed of."
The man vanished into shadows and Damien returned to the party where the boy was not missed nor was he. He was looked upon by the Elder's at Erin's party and they stated to him, "You have been elected by the council of Elder's to become out new High Priest without status of acolyte. Therefore, you shall be bestowed with power upon the day you become an Elitist."
Damien was more than happy with such a title. He knew the dark lord of the Netherworld did this for him, but what was the underworld god gaining with Damien in power? The question never was answered, but he went through with his promise. Damien was High Priest for eight years before the High Priestess was found dead in her house which was locked from the inside. The cause of death was undetermined even in an autopsy. No traces of poison or organ failure could be found. He knew for a very long time that her death was to come and she knew this as well, but she was unable to elect a new High Priestess to take the Seven Trials of Hecate before her death as she felt she was protected from any form of harm that Damien could inflict upon her. It was in 2013 that a girl of the age twenty-two was elected to take the Seven Trials of Hecate along with four others. Damien was one of the judges who ruled over the Coven in the stead of the High Priestess until the new one was discovered. At last Nimue Rose Cheverill had passed all of the trials and became the New High Priestess. A ritual was performed to bless her with all of the powers that the High Priestess holds. Unfortunately, she was unable to be given the knowledge the previous High Priestess held due to an early demise. Damien was happy to know that he was clear of accusations entirely now that the new High Priestess held no knowledge of his actions.
