BXBX NOVEL Chapter 598 Repelling- Part 1
"What are these?" Penny asked, lifting them up in her hand to take a closer look at it.
"These are similar to what you created. The crystal b.a.l.l.s of fire," Sister Jera looked excited as she went on to explain about it, pus.h.i.+ng the gla.s.ses that rested on her nose, she said, "I packed the same component by reducing the size which has the same amount of component the crystal ball has. The last time I used the crystal ball it cracked in my hands and I..." she raised her hand where Penny could see her skin had been burnt.
"I am sorry about that," Penny apologized as it was one of her very own first few creations. She had been careful enough to break the gla.s.s when she had carried them with her.
To see the white witch had tried to accomplish and improvise it, she wondered if it was tested, "Did you try it out?"
"I haven\'t yet," Sister Jera smiled, scratching her neck as she took the capsule in her hand, "I thought we could try it together. It took me weeks since the time you have been absent but I finally finished it and was waiting for you. Father Antonio isn\'t fond of explosives in here because the last time I tried creating one as a test, the witches in here caught fire and suffered injuries."
"Let\'s go test it out then," Penny suggested looking forward to what the girl had done.
Once they were out and near a barren land, Penny stood behind Sister Jera, watching the white witch pull out the capsule that she had made.
"So how does this work?" Penny asked the girl knowing last time when she had to use the crystal b.a.l.l.s, it needed to break for the liquid to come in contact with the force. With this being made into a capsule, she wondered how it would break.
"You throw the capsule and it will pick up the velocity by shedding out its layers that once it touches a surface," said sister Jera swinging her hand to throw the capsule that moved up in the sky and went far enough to fall down on the land with a big blast, fire catching around the dried gra.s.sed which wasn\'t many due to the rain.
"It appears to be much more effective," Penny said looking at the smoke and fire they had caused, "But I think it works only for a far distance and not for close distance range," after all, the capsule needed to pick up speed to shed its layers.
While Sister Jera was speaking about it, explaining the components she added to build the capsule, Penny wondered how she could stop the voodoo from taking place in the lands. Even with rosemary being placed in and around the house, it hadn\'t worked in stopping the spell that had been put on her where she had fallen into the water.
There should be a way on how they could stop the black witches from making use of the people as puppets. Her mother couldn\'t use her body in bidding what she wanted but she could manipulate the things around her and bring an external force to push her every time.
Maybe the place needed to be exorcised thought Penny to herself.
"Sister Jera, do you know how to exorcise a place?" she asked the young girl, who was looking at the fire they had created.
"Is there a ghost haunting?"
"No, not a ghost. Something more like black magic," hearing this the girl turned around and asked in intrigue,
"Is everything alright, Lady Penelope?" Penny gave her a rea.s.suring smile.
"Just small mishaps," small enough that got her killed, thought Penny in her mind, "Have you ever thought on how to stop voodoo magic before?"
The girl gave a thoughtful look, looking at the sky, "I don\'t think you can cut it off. The spell comes from within the black magic which is mostly whispered to the dolls."
"And these dolls work for life? No expiration date?" Penny asked her, trying to understand more about it.
"They do," Sister Jera said, pus.h.i.+ng her gla.s.ses back with her straight hair which was the length of her shoulders flying behind her as the wind breezed against them, "They need to make use of a new one because the first spell removes the properties to resue them I think."
If the sole way of making a voodoo doll was by making of the dried twigs and leaves, then the problem would need to be fixed there, "Have you tried finding of your elemental ability."
"I do, Lady Penelope. It is the element of land," upon the girl\'s answer, a grin formed on her lips, "That\'s wonderful. Come we have some work to do going to the church, the next few days, Penny sneaked in and out of the secret room to make use of some of the potions as they create another one.
When it was finally done, Penny and Jera took a small bottle that had a silver tinge of liquid in it. Walking to a small plant, they sat next to it. Penny started to pour the liquid onto the land and once it was all done, she looked up at Jera to give her a nod.
Jera took a deep breath and placed her hands on the ground and before she could start she said, "This is going to take a lot of hours," and she then started to use her elemental ability by using the same liquid to spread out to every part of the land like invisible veins the moved and spread out.
The plant that was small slightly moved its leaves as if a breeze of wind had gusted near it. Penny looked around her to see how Sister Jera\'s elemental ability was distributing the little liquid she had poured to multiply so that it could move forward the next plants from the ground.
