Chapter 96: House Sherman
OWEN
~
I let myself be consumed by the numerous chirping sounds of the roving birds around the garden, it was very regular here, more like a daily ritual, most of the families’ households are located within the forest or fast from other sights, due to what we do and what we’re capable of, the ’HEAD’ family to be exact are the ones who stay secluded while the branch families stay within the towns.
Even though I let myself be consumed by the singing birds I kept my undying focus on the Grimoire before me, exams were finally done which means I get to relinquish myself with spells, I love focusing my attention on books, it was part of the reason I was Sherman, I not only come from the family line of witches and warlock but we were also the studious type, books were like our second nature and as obliged I have taken that attribute.
My amber eyes glanced to the soil before me, this was a tricky one, one I have been trying to master for some time now, I really need to work on my nature. Even as a warlock to cast spells and curses, there was also each individual born with accustomed elements. I was born with the element of earth, which means anything belonging to the soil was under my control, well I am not a master yet, let’s just say a few of it for now.
I’m a guy who had a dream to surpass my predecessors one day, to be a master of my very element and also be recognized for my abilities, but first I must survive high school.
I was brought up to be a responsible type and I knew solely because I was the Heir of the Sherman house, a big deal and also exhausting. I shook my head, closing my eyes with a clear throat. Yes, I need deep engagement for this because this was my first time working with plants.
I mumbled the spells I surmised from the Grimoire in chant, it was a foreign language that sounded Latin, I made sure I pronounced the words right, that was a very crucial fact Vanessa taught me, the pronunciation was everything, it was what gave power to any spell you were to cast or learn, which is why I made sure I learned other languages, yet another crucial thing for my family.
I opened my eyes, checking to see if my spell worked but I was met with soil. Ha, fuck it! 5 tries and still the same result, why were plants the hardest to control?
