Goddess above,

Goddess below,

Goddess all around,

Please let us know.

Show us the light,

Show us the love,

Watch out over us

From above.

Keep darkness out,

Keep darkness at bay,

We offer ourselves

As we do when we pray.

Finalised with, “blessed be.”

The liquid in the large pot at the centre of the circle emitted a glowing hue. It was a bright warm glow, it seemed something had worked. Around the pot were four cups. We blew out our flames and helped ourselves to the tea. It was named moon tea by Tana because she would only make it during the full moon when it would be extra potent, but you could make it whenever you liked, that wasn’t an issue. It was just part of our ceremony.

“Sweet,” I said, sipping the tea.

They hummed in agreement.

“Think I added a little too much sugar,” she said. “Or maybe cinnamon.”

“It doesn’t fill me with you know, that wholesome feeling,” Allegra said.

Eva tipped back the liquid in her mouth. “Like a tingle,” she said. “Usually, there’s so much more than this.”

She was right, there was more, it wasn’t just a tingle, there were body shaking vibrations that would take us at our core, it would be a uniting of all five elements coming together in each of us, solidifying the protection.

Once we were all cleared away. We sat back in the dining room where Marissa’s book laid open flat on the table where the pages had been torn.

“We need to get the truth out of her,” Allegra said.

“Who?” I asked.

“Noelia.”

“Truth potion,” Eva suggestion.

“I don’t think we should,” Tana said. “The implications, I don’t really approve.”

I nodded my head slowly. “We need answers, I don’t believe she’s back only for the book, and the last I heard she was all the way up north.”

“I second that,” Eva said. “We need answers. I repeat, dose her with a potent truth potion and we’ll see what we can get out of her.”

“She’ll smell it a mile away,” Allegra said.

I smacked a finger to my lips in thought. “She’s coming by the café in the morning. I could prepare a tea, we could sit down to chat, I’d like to know what she’s been doing anyway.”

“It could work,” Allegra said with a large grin.

“I really really don’t think we should be dosing other witches, especially not during the investigation,” Tana expressed. “If we’re caught, it doesn’t look good on us.”

“We won’t be caught,” I said. “Once we find out she had nothing to do with it I’ll let her leave with the book, she’ll be on the road back home before lunch.”

While Tana still wasn’t completely convinced over everything that was happening, she went along with it, it was a group decision, and it seemed like the better of two evils; asking her questions and finding out what she knew, or letting her leave and perhaps one of us would be stuck with Marissa’s murder.
