Black and White Witch (VI)

The White Witch had tried countless times to extinguish the flame, but the will of the entire Black Witch community to preserve it was too powerful for her to match, and she had to let it continue to burn. It was only when most of the other Black Witches' power was lost and the power of the flame was weakened that she was able to fight against the will of the founding Black Witch from a long time ago. The queen also stood up and walked to the circle of gray flame and looked at the white witch: "You intend to extinguish it?" The White Witch nodded: "People are always good at forgetting past tragedies and being led astray again by the temptation at hand. The only way to completely solve the problem is to extinguish it." "I am afraid that this will not completely solve the problem." The queen's face also became grave, "Since someone can ignite it in the past, then I believe there must be someone else who knows how to make it rekindle the method. And you have made a contract with it to maintain it forever, if you break the contract ......" "then I will be consumed by this flame and turned into ashes." When the white witch said this, there was no semblance of sadness or timidity, there was a dignified silence in her gaze. "But that's just as well, because only successive Black Witch Academy heads know the way to make this fire rekindle, and I will take this secret with me to hell." At this point, a light smile of relief surfaced on the white witch's face: "All along I have been part of this evil myself, and this will be a kind of atonement for what I have done in the past." The queen did not speak, just stood silent and frowned. "I know you can always understand." The White Witch walked over and embraced her sincerely, "Thank you for fighting alongside me all these years, but on the next path, I have to walk alone. Farewell, my dearest friend." After saying that, the white witch took a few steps back, faced the gray flame, spread her hands in the gesture of casting a spell, and began to chant the incantation with a firm gaze. The flame then as if it had life, in mid-air violently shaking expansion, countless pairs of white light hands from it, densely shining in the direction of the white witch, more and more, closer and closer, is about to grab her fluttering hair ...... white witch suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of the head. As she fell to the ground in a daze, the flames and light hands in her vision also froze, motionless. "I'm sorry." The voice came from behind her as the Queen attacked her from behind with the hilt of her sword, causing the halfway through chanting the spell to abort. "I cannot allow you to put out the flame." "You?!" The White Witch collapsed helplessly to the ground, unable to get up for a moment, and could only watch as the Queen approached the ball of flame. "I remember the first time I saw you, I was still very young." The queen looked at the white witch with the expression she had when she was immersed in fond memories, then she reached out and touched her face, "You are still as beautiful now as you were then, while I, for one, already have wrinkles." The white witch tilted her head with difficulty to look at her and couldn't help but look aghast when she heard these words. "I didn't think it would take so many years just to wipe out the Black Witch clan and destroy the entire kingdom." The queen's tone was relaxed as if she was discussing something trivial, "It's always easier to destroy than to rebuild, and I guess it will take a lot of time and trouble to clean up this mess perfectly." The white witch's eyes were tinged with astonishment: "Do you want to ......" "Do you remember? In the earliest days, I also wanted to enter the Black Witch Academy and learn the method of eternal youth." The queen suddenly smiled, "In fact, I have never been afraid of becoming old and ugly, but I can't deny that the title of the kingdom's first beauty has helped me a lot along the way."
