Howl's Moving Castle

"I do believe so. Maybe tomorrow will be better. But don't forget we still have a score to settle with that witch of Southern Heights."

Cal nodded " yeah what she look like again?"


Jade yawned and got her self into a more comfortable position on howl her hand rests on his chest gently

Jade's shifting made Howl look down at her and smile with a warm softness. Howl stroked her hair, kissing her brow gently thn took the knuckles of her hand and brushed his lips against them, AMD began stroking them as he contemplated. "I was young when I met her. But if I remember right, she halong black wild hair and blue-grey eyes. She was fine when I met her...but either it was a facade or she changed drastically."

Cal nodded " right, i wonder where she is" he sat down and thought a moment " maybe Evelyn could try a scrying spell, i believe its only witches that can scry"

Howl nodde, "Yes, a wizard could never. But should we wait till morning is the question ."
"What?" Evelyn asked.

Cal looked up " oh hello your awake now " he smiled " well howl you can ask her because i am hungry" he went over and grabbed food and sat back down

"I heard you guys talking, that's what awoke me." Evelyn shrugged sitting in the seat Cal was previously sitting, "Mmm. So warm." she mumbled contentedly.
"Well, what we were wondering is if you could scry for the witch we are looking for." Howl said.
"I suppose I can try. I've never done it before." She said uncertainly.
Howl then got out a map. "She's supposed to be in Suthern Heights."
He then handed Evelyn a scrying pendant, "Here, use this."
Evelyn took it, and the moment she did it jerked to the right spot. Even Howl was surprised, "It doesn't usually work that fast." But he said nothing more, though it was obvious he was holding back.

Jade woke and yawned " whats happening?" she looked around

Cal looked at Evelyn "where did it land"

Howl paled, "Ancient Valley, the heart of Suthern Heights. The most darkest place to be in for black magic. It is where the human and magic war took place 500 years ago. The power that emenates there is so powerful, no witch or wizard could ever defeat a Black Witch or Wizard that resided there." He turned to Evelyn, "To bed, immediately with you Evelyn." He said sharply, "Training starts in the morning."
Evelyn was appalled by his cold manner, but left.

Jade sat there on the couch still and was very confused


Cal looked at howl " that place is scary,"

Howl sat beside Jade again, "i know." When he heard Evelyns vdoor closed he said, "You guys trust me, right?"

Cal looked at Howl " do you really need to ask me this?"


Jade smiled lightly " with my life"

Howl nodded, "Then understand, that I will be pushing Evelyn beyond her limits. But neither of you can be allowed to comfort her. She must become angry. True anger and fear will bring out her true power, and it is only with that, that she will be able to destroy The witch with me. The reason why the pendant was so quick is because she is related to the witch somehow. Only relatives can ascry each other so swiftly. Her training will be vigorous."

Jade nodded " i understand completely " she said and yawned again cover her mouth " oh im sorry " she smiled


Cal nodded " ill do my best"

"Good, and thank you. If there was any other way, I wouldn't treat her like this. Now, let's all get to bed."

Jade nodded " indeed " she stood blew a kiss to howl and went up to her room where she lay down and fell right back to sleep


Cal took a deep breath " i think this will be haardest on me, i really like her and she smiles really nice"

Howl put a hand on his longtime friends shoulder, locking his eyes with cal, "I know, I've seen how you two have grown fond of each other. But it is you that I need to make her feel the most unwantedbecause of the bond. But this is for her, for us. To stay safe as a family."

Cal nodded " i will do my best"

"Sleep well Cal." Howl said and went to bed.

Cal laid on the couch and fell asleep

the next morning jade woke quite early and went out on the balcony to watch the sun rise

Howl walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, hugging her to him as he kissed her neck. "Ill be waking up Evelyn soon. Is everything alright with you?" He whispered silkily into her ear.

Jade smiled " ill be fine , im pretty sure i can find something to do while you work "

He smiled, "Come." He said and took her by the hand and led her to the door, "Where do you want to go?" he asked.

Jade smiled " i dont know " she laughed lightly

Howl chuckled then opened the door at the yellow notch and led her out into a beautiful garden where he showed her to a little cottage, when they entered it was neatly organized with every craft imaginable. "I want you to enjoy yourself while I am working with her."
