The Priestess began the ceremony. Those who wanted to be the most powerful witches stood up and chanted an incantation with their hands raised.
As they move, the moon shines, and its light hits the whole stage directly. And as this was going on, people in the village could be seen to be amazed and excited.
"Here we are! Our magic comes from being awake."
"Yes, you're right! I'm excited to be able to cast a new spell!"
These are some of the things that people in the village said. Clearly worried about their safety.
On the other hand, Xavier stood off to the side and clenched his fists as he thought about Lyca. "Where did you go? If you don't show up at the right time, all your pain will be for nothing "He said this as he looked around the inside of the castle, hoping that Lyca would show up at any moment.
And it looks like Lyca is too late because the light from the moon moved slowly in the same direction.
"What's going on? Crystal isn't the one who will be saved?"
"What is her name? I've never met her... Which clan does she belong to?"
"Can you count on her? What if she doesn't know what a Priestess is supposed to do?"
"This can't be what the priestess wants to hear!"
As the moon blesses their new Priestess, this is what the villagers worry about.
But the Priestess didn't get angry like everyone thought she would. Instead, she walked up to the next Priestess with a big smile on her face.
"I was not mistaken! As soon as I saw you, I knew you were meant to be together."
The person who was chosen smiled awkwardly. "Your Grace, thank you for guiding me and believing in me... You can count on me, and I won't let you down because I will be a good leader of our covenant."
The Priestess hugged her heir with joy. "If you follow my advice, you'll be the best Priestess ever..."
But the Priestess's smile slowly went away when she heard the next person in line whisper. "What do you say?" she asked again and again with a frown.
"I told him I didn't need his help because I could run the covenant on my own." After hearing this answer, the chosen one walked forward with a big smile and looked at the villagers, who had no idea what was going on.
"You little-"
"-Wicked Witch of the West? Yes, I hear that all the time, and I love it." The one who had just been chosen cut off the Priestess while giving her a smirk.
When the chosen one stood in the middle to give a speech, the crowd fell silent.
"I don't think anyone here knows who I am or where I'm from. But I don't think it matters because the Mood Goddess has already spoken, and it's clear that she chose me..."
Because she had heard whispers, the chosen one smiled. "But since I'm your new Priestess, I should just tell you my name..." Then she stopped for a while, smiled, and held her head high with pride. "Call me Priestess Annabelle from now on!"
A moment of silence. It looks like the person is taking in what the new leader is saying.
"Long live Priestess Annabelle!"
"Show us your graces, Priestess Annabelle... As your new power, share!"
The people in the village screamed loudly and put their hands up.
"Of course, I'll give you all some of my power!" The new priestess smiled back at her with a big grin. And just as she said, she muttered a spell. Then, some glittering dust fell from the sky and covered everyone in the village.
The people in the village cheered when they felt the new power that the new Priestess had given them.
"I felt stronger than I did before!"
"You're right! The best is this!"
After giving the villagers what they asked for, the new Priestess turns around, but the current Priestess stands in her way. "What do you do? How did you know how to do that? "She didn't care about the question.
"My grace, Didn't you hear what I said? I am Annabelle-Priestess Annabelle, as I told my people..."
Then she looked at Xavier, who was looking at her in a dark way. As she moved toward him, she smiled. "And just for you-"
Xavier couldn't stop looking at the Priestess. He asked in a wild, cold voice, "You... How did you get here?"
"Prince of Nightingale, it's good to see you again... Even though I look different now, I'm glad you still remember me..."
"I still remember that servant's face... Even though some of the girl's features were changed. Your way of talking and the bad things around you haven't changed, "Xavier laughed back at him.
The Old Priestess went up to Xavier. "What exactly do you mean? How about Annabelle? "She was confused and asked.
Even Crystal couldn't stop herself from going up to them when she saw how her grandmother reacted. She looked back and forth between her grandmother, Xavier, and the new Priestess as she asked, "Grandma, what's going on here?"
"Well, hello dear... You must be Crystal, who is making me happy today..." With a big smile on her face, Priestess Annabelle answered.
"Come on over... I don't know what's going on, but this girl is not who I thought she would be... She is-"
"What did you think you would be? Like the old Crystal, who did whatever you told her to do?"
The previous Priestess didn't answer because she is stupid. She saw hope when she found Annabella. She thought she could make her obey her, but it turned out that she had found a girl who was worse than any Witch she had ever met.
"Anyway, everything worked out for me, so I'll let you all live by my rules."
"Your badness really has no end!" Xavier yelled as he tried to break the spell that was keeping him from moving.
"What do you want to say? I'm just getting started!" Annabelle let out a roar, and then her arms reached up to the sky.
"What's going on?" When Crystal saw the changes in the air, she asked.
"Giving the villager the second give!" Annabelle answered with a sneer.
The thunder and lightning surprised the person in the village. But they didn't feel scared because they thought it was still part of the new priestess's gift.
