With the last couple of demons having been vanquished or fled, Kerri looked at Drake, speaking softly - the battle not even her making her break a sweat, a truly experienced witch.
“I guess it is time to explain to the girls what happened? I hope they are ready to hear this.”
Drake nodded and replied: "Yes, there is no point hiding this any longer, it seems as if some in the underworld have heard whispers and rumors of what is going to happen and it would be dangerous to keep the girls in the dark. Although." Drake paused for a moment. "I think it would be easier if you cast a spell to tidy this place up, Im not sure how the girls will react or how shaken up they will be, they have seen me orb, seen you use potions and powers and have witnessed their first demon attack."
Seeing Kerri walk towards the house Drake felt he knew he would need to help explain what was going on, after all he is the whitelighter that has been assigned to the family it was important to get them to understand, and although Drake was near enough family - somethings are easier coming from a non relative.
As they got to the kitchen Drake ditched the knife he had used to stab the demon into the sink, the yellow blood already congealing on the blade. The walk through the house was made in silence, both Drake and Kerri thinking about how to explain the situation to the girls. Soon they got to the locked attic door; Drake being the taller one reached for the key and unlocked it, there was no need to freak the girls out further with more orbing.
The door slowly opened, revealing Kerri and Drake to the four girls, and vice versa.
"Girls." Drake began, "The world is more than you thought it was or has ever been...its best that you take a seat, this is a lot to take in and unfortunately you dont have much time to absorb this." Drake took a deep breath and continued where Drake left off.
"To put it simply, you are Witches, practitioners of the Wiccan arts, you are able to use magic to cast spells, brew potions." Kerri too, paused to take a deep breath to steady herself. "You also have powers, now we dont know what sort of powers you will have - but once the ritual has been performed you will be able to understand what is happening to you."
While Kerri spoke, Drake walked up to the book, running a finger around the three symbols on the front of the very old looking tome,
"This, girls - is the Book of Shadows - the greatest weapon against the powers of evil, to give you a better idea, its like a wikipedia of all things magic, Information on demons, a plethora of spells and more potion recipes than you can shake a stick at." Drake smiled a bit at that, it had been part of his duties to keep upto date with mortal things such as technological advancements so that he could get close to his charges with out giving the game away.
"Soon will be the night of the full moon, and at that time you will receive you full wiccan blessings."
