Chapter 33: Chapter 33
THE GREAT CONSUMMATION
After beating Sophie mercilessly, she fainted for over an hour. When she woke up, she saw Roberto Torres. He came for the boy that was tied to the shrub. He was the only child of his late sister.
Just when Sophie had resigned to fate, Ariana also appeared. But it was quite clear that she was there to save her beloved.
The witches of Olana's coven recited unending panegyrics and incantations until the bride and her groom succumbed to the power of the coven.
All of a sudden, every single flame in their midst was quenched. A very strong wind began to blow. Jemimah soon showed up. Her presence brought so much coldness that the ground began to freeze. She felt Sophie's essence while she writhed in pain.
All the witches that surrounded her sister fell under the demonstration of her power. She blasted them until they became as cold as ice and as hard as rock!
"You shouldn't have come! Their plans depended on you to show up!" Sophie shouted. "Leave while you still can!"
"Not at the expense of the only family I have left," Jemimah replied. "Grab hold of my hand. Let's leave this godforsaken place!"
But on the verge of holding her sister's hand, she was attacked by Ariana who had also transformed into a flame. "No!" Sophie screamed. But she was struck by a very strong blow that left her almost lifeless.
Ariana and Jemimah contended fiercely with each other. But other surviving witches from Olana's coven supported the bride's flame. So they subdued Anolafaya. She was stricken continuously.
Ariana was still enraged. She wanted to kill Jemimah immediately. But the coven needed her as bait to lure Jason Sam out of his hiding place. So the witches recited incantations to pacify the bride.
The moon was changing its position in the sky. And it signified that they were fast running out of time! But one of them soon made a remark. "Anolafaya hesitated until her sister was being tortured. Why delay any further? Let us make the treacherous witch suffer. That way the groom won't waste any more time."
The coven agreed. So they tied Jemimah to a shrub and beat her bare back with hot firewood!
Jemmy was in pain. The state of her sister disturbed her greatly.
At last, all the flames in the open place became rekindled. Jason Sam appeared in their midst. Immediately, they abandoned a severely injured Jemimah to hasten the ritual of the consummation.
When the bride and the groom's eyes met. Both of them burned with a strong desire to make passionate love to each other. They walked straight into one another's embrace and pressed their lips against each other's.
They changed to their human form. Still, every piece of clothing they wore either burned to ash or melted like wax on a very hot but solid metal.
Ariana held so tightly to him, her turgid breasts looked as if they would burst. And he grabbed her buttocks and pulled her crotch against his. It wasn't long before his manhood sank deep into her!
When they were in unison both physically and spiritually, they transformed into the most beautiful flame with all the colors of the rainbow.
The great consummation that was prophesied through the generations was taking place. And it was happening right before Jemimah's eyes.
As a woman in love, she was heartbroken. And as Anolafaya, she had failed her coven!
About a minute later, when the surviving witches of Olana's cult were distracted by the supposed fulfillment of the consummation, there was a flash of lightning in the sky.
There hadn't been any sign of rainfall prior to that moment. A very strong wind ravaged the place. Clouds darkened the moon and the weather changed. The temperature dropped so much that it sent chills down the spines of everyone present..
They could tell that it was no ordinary rain. The land reeked of trouble. So, everybody prepared themselves for what was coming. But Jemimah began to heal. Her strength was soon replenished.
The young woman no longer stayed face down. She raised herself and looked at the sky. It was as if her eyes had enough power to intensify lightning. When she shouted from rage, her voice thundered.
Anolafaya arose and made her most sublime transformation. Her voice could be heard in the cold breeze and the rushing wind. She had become one with the ethers.
All the fires around became quenched. Even the beautiful flame that had all the colors of the rainbow! But Jason and Ariana were still burning from passion. They were unaware of what was happening around them.
The sight of their love irritated Anolafaya. She struck them with a force, but one of the members of Olana's coven protected them and paid the ultimate price. She died immediately.
In response to that, all the remaining members of Olana's cult soon rearranged themselves in order to defend the bride and the groom.
At this juncture, they knew that without Jason and Ariana fighting with them, they stood no chance against what Jemimah had become. As if that wasn't bad enough, every single member of Faya's coven soon appeared by her side. Their eyes were the color of lightning.
The cult had never been so complete and powerful for many generations. However, none of them attacked the rival coven.
Contrary to what Olana's witches expected, Anolafaya changed into her human form again. She hurried to Jason and Ariana and tried to separate them. But as soon as her hand touched them, a fiery force threw her away! They were apparently still with some form of violent power.
"Just let them be!" a rival member said. "The prophecy has been fulfilled. There is nothing you can do now." Due to the quick depletion of the size of Olana's cult, he was now the third most important person.
Jemimah stood up from the ground. She looked at the man from a distance and recognized him. It was Roberto Torres who spoke.
This angered Faya's cult. But they waited for Anolafaya's next action.
Deep within her, she knew that he was just a man in love. Her mind flashed back to when he risked his life to save hers.
She could kill him right where he was standing if it so pleased her. But she didn't. "Discontinue the consummation and I'll let you all leave. Else your coven perishes here and now!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible." He walked closer to her. "Death is a better fate than being a traitor."
One of Faya's witches wanted to stop him, but Jemimah told her not to. When Robbo finally got to where she was standing, he came really close and whispered something to her ear. "Please spare our lives. I just want to leave with Ariana, that's all."
Immediately, she began to transform again. And he moved away from her.
"How dare you!" she said angrily. After that, she struck him with a force!
