Witches

The Gihani stood before the town of Idocmonra all of the mystic creatures quivering in fear of him. "None will stand before me and save any of you!" The large dark demon monster cried up to the sky laughing as the entire mystical creature population quivered in fear.

All of the cat people held they're tails and cried to they're mates and they're children, the warlocks stood by quietly knowing they're magic couldn't even tickle him none the less defeat the massive demon. The snake people hissed at Gihani and spit venom as the dog people whimpered in defeat.

10 witches pushed forward through the crowd all that was left of the witching world that had not been slain and burned at the stake. "We will stand up to you!" One dark haired on called up as her and the rest of the witches stood in a ‘V’ formation with the dark haired woman at the center point.

The Gihani looked down on them. "You ten?” He sneered at the women where they stood bravely. “You make me laugh!" the dark creature laughed at them and threw a black orb down at them. Two of the witches threw up one hand towards the coming orb, taking hold of each other with the sprawled fingers of the open hand, forming a large silver shield around the witches and the terrified creatures. The other witches took hands and held the shoulders of the ones shielding them, sharing they're power with them to keep the shield going.

"Attack one!" the ringleader called out, her dark hair and confident look making her look powerful and brave. Two witches put they're arms to they're sides and brought them up as if they were holding large tennis balls. Around the group large amount of rocks and boulders and other matters of earth rose from the ground and hovered in the air. "Attack!" the ringleader called, the earth elemental witches thrusted they're arms forward and the matters of earth went up and hit Gihani in the face. He laughed at their feeble attempts, they continued to through larger pieces one hit his eye and he stepped back holding his eye, blinking his blood red eyes slightly.

"Attack 2!!" the ring leader called out narrowing her eyes watching the demon and his weakness. A witch raised her hands and a body of water as large as the Pacific Ocean rose out of the ground. "Aim for the eyes!! Go!!" all the witches switched and shared they're powers with the one water elemental as she threw that body of water at Gihani’s face. Gihani coughed up water, "Witches hear me!!"

"No we will not hear you until you cry for mercy!! Attack 3!!" the ringleader called out to the demon. Another witch now being touched by the chain of the witches sharing their powers lifted all of the water from the ground and turned it to ice in the form of a spear and stabbed Gihani with it several times in the face.

"Attack 4!" Gihani was badly injured and was holding his own gut but was laughing as he started to heal. The ten witches broke their ‘V’ formation forming a tight circle around the ringleader their backs to her.

"Gihani you have attacked our people, and you have killed many and now you will pay for your treason against your own kind!" the ring leader called as the rest of the witches started on a chant, a powerful curse forgotten over time, now found and rekindled one last time.

"The pain has been done, and now the deliver will be the one undone; montoria nitoko kitchodora kintasa." The group of frightened creatures were covered with a spell that was building them a town and hiding it from eyes of the traitorous using a complicated entry tunnel. "contomonary nosondo!" the witches chanted as they began to spin rapidly, their arms at their sides as they spun their hair colors, the colors of their clothes, every pigment difference molded together as a white light began to show off of them.

The ringleader came through the middle of the circle lifted by the magic that the other witches were giving her. The other nine women linked arms causing different colored auras with a stripe of white of life force came from each witch going to the ringleader above them. She held her arm up above her, index and middle fingers together pointed upward and the rest of her fingers curled towards the palm. As all of the other auras mixed into her own her body started to glow bright white, her skin shined, and her deep amber eyes turned white as she gained all of the power and life force of the others.

"goodbye Gihani!!" she yelled her voice changed slightly by the magic, auras, and life force welling up inside of her, making her voice more like she was talking over a partially broken loud speaker. Pointing her fingers between Gihani's eyes a white beam came from her fingers, a mix of the other witches life force and power as well as hers, the beam hit Gihani square and a bright light blinded all.
