10 FLASHBACK-TWIN FLAME

The birthday celebration goes well and lunchtime completed without any chaos or struggles.

Crater keep himself cool and calm amidst the pain that he felt when he saw Caelum and Emirose.

And they completed blowing their birthday cake candles.

And it's time for the traditional picking of their twin flame.

The moment that Caelum and Crater have been waiting for.

Mr. De Reilly started his speech for the tradition "Good afternoon, everyone! We are very happy that you come and celebrate with us for this special moment for two young men here. Today marks their freedom to choose their twin flame and freedom to choose their path. In our Wiccan calendar, the age of a witch is multiplied by 2 and so they are rightfully at legal age and mature enough to have the freedom to choose."

Then, Mrs. De Reilly turns to speak "I was once chosen by Harry when he turned 15, and I was not expecting it since we're not that close that time. But my parents favored Harry ever since they have known him. And I have no choice and accept the fate of the Universe. To my beautiful twin, Caelum, and Crater, choose your heart's desire in your rightful heart. I both love you very much. We love you no matter what." She wiped her teary eyes.

Then, Mr. De Reilly cleared his throat and speaks again, "As the tradition goes, since we have a twin, the first to choose his twin flame will be our firstborn, Caelum then Crater will choose his twin flame after."

Then, Mr. and Mrs. De Reilly called their twins in front of the mini-stage in the dining area.

Crater knows that this may happen. His plan A did not work.

Caelum started his speech, "Hello everyone! I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for everything that they have thought and given us. And I want to share with you my story about why I choose this girl for me..." And I continued my speech and called Emirose.

Mr. and Mrs. Evergreen Caelum's parents were shocked and surprised by the revelation of Caelum's pick.

And they saw how Emirose glow as she approached Caelum and Caelum's aura towards her. They have the glowing spark together.

On the other side of the mini-stage, Crater's face is red and fuming.

Then, he snaps his fingers and vanished into the air.

"If plan A does not work, there's always plan B and plan C," Crater muttered to himself.

Crater arrived in his laboratory in a snap.

He is making his plan B, which is making potion tablets for Caelum and Emirose to change their heart to hate.

Hope this will work, I have a short time to make this potion tablet. And I need to be back there before it's my turn to choose my twin flame.

I do not want them to think about my plans.

And he did make it on time, he went back in the dining without anyone noticing him.

Then, his father made his speech again and called Crater for his turn to choose.

Crater keeps his cool and calm disposition to avoid everyone's attention, then he speaks, "Hello, everyone!". He looks around to check who's around in the celebration, he needs to choose quickly. Then he saw Piper, one of his closest friends.

And he cleared his throat "I... I'm totally out of words, seeing everyone, celebrating with us. I'll be honest to you guys that I haven't expected that Caelum picked Emirose earlier, but I'm happy for my brother that he had chosen the right girl for him. And as for me? I will give you our story. I have met this girl for quite some time now, ever since childhood. She is the best and the best of all my best friends and so, she is special to me." He continued his speech and called Piper.

Piper did not expect that Crater will pick her. She has known him well. There's something off about him. She saw him earlier with a red face and fuming while looking at Caelum and Emirose.

She has this bad feeling about Crater's decision, but she has no choice, whether it's fake or real, it's their tradition, she has to accept it.

Piper's parents were very happy to see their daughter being picked by Crater. They know that their future together will be a major success since they're both into medicinal science and both intelligent.

And so the traditional picking of twin flame ended.

It's time for the drinking of wine, it's sealing the twin flame tradition, for the families to bind together.

Crater immediately took the bottle of wine and filled four glasses for Caelum, Emirose, and Piper and him.

He approached his brother and Emirose while tagging along with Piper.

Piper already had her wine while three wine glasses floating in the air for Crater and his brother and Emirose.

"Please take the two glasses of wine my beloved brother and my dear Emi". Crater smiled and took his wine and drink in front of them to show them that there's no poison on it.

"Don't worry my beloved elder brother and Emi, I'm fine. So, you see? No poison on it. I have accepted the reality that you both belong together. Please have a drink!". Caelum and Emirose look at each other. Then Caelum takes their glasses of wine and chanted in his head to reverse anything that comes with the wine, and handed the other glass to Emirose and they started to drink it.

Crater smiled, his plan B works.

He grabbed Piper and hugged her tightly with so much joy.

And persuaded her for a dance as the music filled the air.

Piper started to ask him questions "Hey, Carty! What is this all about? I know you well. You should have not picked me! I'm not your type of girl. I saw your face in red and fuming earlier. What's your plan?"

"Read me" Piper started to communicate with him in his mind. She can read and communicate in the mind if it's open to read.

"The potion tablet will work after the clock strikes at midnight. It will turn their love to hate." His voice echoes on Piper's head.

The birthday celebration ended and everyone prepared for the May Eve festival.

And everyone changes to their traditional dresses, wearing headdresses and putting make-up on their faces.

As soon as torches are all light up, they started the ritual traditions.

They ended with merrymaking and game activities.

While everybody enjoyed the festival, Caelum and Emirose enjoyed flying in the sky.

And the clock strikes 12.

Caelum and Emirose vanished in the air like a bubble.

And after a decade.

Marstrand, Sweden 2018

Piper knocked on their door "Hey, Carty! I found a baby boy in our garden!"

Crater opened the door and was shocked looking at the baby boy in the arms of his wife, Piper.

"How? How could that happen to have a baby in our garden?"

Piper is feeling ecstatic since they do not have any children.

"Hush now... he is now our baby, we will call him Jax".

"But Piper, his parents might be looking for him?" Crater responded feeling worried.

"Nah, they won't! Trust me." And so he conceded to make her happy.

"Kai? I think it's time... my waterbag broke already" Kai looks at his wife closely and immediately called in the Wiccan Elder, who is a skilled midwife.

"Hey, Annie. I'm here... you'll be fine and your baby. Just listen to everything that I will tell you, okay?" the Elder said.

Annie just nodded and keeps her breathing exercise.

"Annie, it's time... pushed it hard, that's it!" And is out successfully and the baby cried.

"Oh, what a beautiful baby girl Annie! Congratulations to both of you!" then she looks closely at the baby's face.

The baby opened her eyes and the Wiccan Elder turned into ashes.

Author's Notes:

In the world of the Wiccan community, time is different from the human world.

Their time is 7 years advanced than the human world time.

And witches' age is multiplied by 2 but they never aged.
