A weak light reigned in the underground, six young girls stood around a stone altar, all dressed in togas, open on the front, letting appear their naked bodies.

Anne-Marie hated this outfit, but since the creation of the circle, five years before, it was the mandatory outfit, this partial nudity being supposedly favorable to communion with the spirits, or at least, that's what she heard.

- Damned !

Anne-Marie struck her fist on the altar, she fulminated, although several kilometers away, she had seen the whole scene, heard every word, not through any video system but directly through Sarah's mind.

She had now been leading the Rose Circle for several years, a group of witches she had inherited temporarily while their mentor was away. She had developed the habit of establishing a psychological connection with her disciples when they were on a mission; her powers allowed her, for example, to temporarily take possession of their bodies, which enabled her to react much more easily in the event of an incident.

This faculty had earned her the nickname of puppeteer. Just like Sarah, she hosted in her body the soul of a demon but she was one of the rare cases where the demon who lent her his powers did not require compensation, he was passively living inside her body waiting for her death to be reborn.

Lately, her nerves were put to the test, her disciples were decimated one by one by a mysterious witch, this woman thwarted her plans and at this rate, the circle of roses would soon be ancient history. Moreover, tonight's demonstration of strength confirmed that the difference in level was enormous.

The more she thought the fewer alternatives she saw to escape this situation.

Her reflection was interrupted by the intervention of her most faithful disciple:

- Sarah was our most powerful sister, maybe we should review our plans?

This single sentence had the effect of clarifying her mind, she was right, it could no longer continue...

- Change of plan, prepare the awakening of our mistress, she will know how to get rid of this annoying woman...
