Chapter 25

Witch’s Sabbath

Witches started gathering around the Stonehenge-not the world famous Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, but a lesser-known one in Italy. The Stonehenge was located right at the center of a fairly large clearing in a dense forest.

Jack observed that most of the witches were either dressed in Emerald-green or in black. And they didn’t mingle freely either. They clustered into smaller groups.

Birds of the same feather flock together Jack observed gloomily reunion won’t be so easy.

Jack strolled among the gathering, inspecting around. He watched the satyr supervising the arrangement of chairs and tables. “He is doing a good job” Jack muttered to himself. Jack had appointed the bald headed, thick bearded, horse tailed Satyr as chief caterer. The upper half of the satyr was like a man, and his lower half was like a goat. He had hooves like a goat, in place of feet, and had horns on his head.

Jack walked around among the hostile gathering of witches.

“The convener must be crazy!” one of the green robed witch blurted to her companion “carelessly calling a meeting at the same venue and at the same time! Didn’t even bother to check out…”

“Hah! I suppose it is not carelessly, but deliberately, to intensify our enmity” the other witch snapped.

Jack moved on. He saw that some of the clusters of witches had formed tighter circles and whispering among themselves, and occasionally glancing at the groups of different colors with suspicion and hatred.

Jack sprang to his feet on hearing a sudden yell. He turned around instantly to find that one black-robed witch and one green-robed witch were pulling each other’s hairs and yelling frantically.

Jack rushed towards them. The caterer satyr and his three accomplices also came running, waving their batons.

Jack saw that the onlookers had already formed a circle around the fighting witches, and were cheering enthusiastically:

“Tear off her hairs!”

“Punch her long nose into a pancake!”

Someone made a shrill wolf whistle and shouted, “Slap her face!”

“Use your nails. Scratch her face”.

The onlookers clapped and cheered. The atmosphere was heating up faster and faster and within moments, the fight spread among the supporters.

The satyr and his accomplices pounced on the fighting witches and pulled them apart with a mighty force. Then, with a rapid discharge of batons, they manage to disperse the fighting onlookers.

“Shame on you all!” Jack shouted at them, “Even small children can behave more maturely”.

The satyr pulled Jack by his hand and took him to a vacant spot. Then he grumbled in a hushed voice “Now you understand why I demanded more guards? I’ll be having a hell of a trouble keeping things under control. If they are so unruly at this evening hour, imagine what will happen by midnight. Especially when, many of them get intoxicated at Sabbath feast”.

“You have arranged for intoxications as well?” Jack asked in disbelief.

The satyr stared hard at Jack and snorted like a horse. “You have never been to any witches’ Sabbath I suppose!”

Jack felt uneasy, as the satyr continued to stare at Jack contemptuously.
