Butterflies popped over an oak desk chair in pink and yellow puffs of smoke until the meeting hall was filled with the aroma of a hundred sweet roses. After the smoke had settled across the frescoed ceiling, sitting in the oaken desk chair was a well-aged black woman. Her neat dreadlocks had no need for hair dye and her soft unmarked skin defied the inevitable decay of time.

The woman dressed in traditional hippie attire was Rosario Medea Jarvie, known as mistress Rose to those who would address her formally, and mother to Kristophe. She was the eighth generation in her family to act as headmistress to London’s largest witches’ circle.

Sitting at the head of the table was the white-robed wizard. With his metal staff laid in front of him, he sat mumbling in Latin and seemed to be unaware of the witch’s impressive entrance.

“Am I really the only one on time?” asked the old witch.

“Clearly, Miss, although… Lord Grenville is down the hall with your eldest child.”

Rose took a crystal ball out of the patchwork bag that dangled off her shoulder and rested it upon the table. She waved her hand over it and inside the ball appeared the image of Lawrez, who was sitting in the university’s hall with Jaydon, playing a hand of blackjack. She waved her hand again to see Noir and Char standing talking to Leo at the university’s entrance. She waved once more and a dark corner of the meeting hall came into sight.

“Could you please close the blinds?” asked Wyll from the only corner of the room not touched by the sun’s light.

The white-robed wizard clapped his hands and the window blinds fell, abruptly shrouding the hall in darkness.

The wizard then clicked his fingers and the many crystal chandeliers that hung from the ceiling illuminated the room.

“Thank you, Whispa,” said the irritated vampire as he strode out of the darkness. “I’ve been burnt by the sun’s rays over twenty times just getting here. Could we please meet in the Vampire Nation’s embassy next time?”

Leo burst through the hall’s double doors, followed by Noir and Char, and behind them crept in Lawrez. They all took their places at the table and waited for Alexander, who was being escorted to the meeting hall by Kristophe.

“You know, boy, you should really consider my offer,” laughed the alcoholic warlock.

“If I wanted to sell my soul to the devil, Dad, I would ask Noir to put me in contact with Wiltsha.”

“It’s a legitimate business venture, my son. I would be happy to front the money. Imagine it, if you will, the Kristophe Rosario Jarvie Institute of the Arcane.”

“It’s certainly a mouthful. Look, I’ve walked you to the meeting, I’ve got to go. If you must indulge in my agony, I’ll be in my office when you’re done.” Ignorant chatter filled the meeting hall while Whispa thumbed through a messy stack of paperwork.

“Finally! Right, quieten down for the register,” said Whispa with eager authority. Leo rolled his eyes at Whispa's annoying tone.
