''Careful!, she could be a spy from the Vatican!'' thought the witch.

------------.............."""""""""*.............------------------ Notes

This are only a few preliminary ideas ( I am telling here, no showing.) warning ⚠️ Darker themes and violence.

( Clarification: I literally have nothing against the Vatican or any other religion or religious people. For real! I just wrote down the instant inspiration as it came lol! ) ------------.............."""""""""*.............------------------

The supposed apprentice pretends to want to learn from the middle aged witch, while doing her job of spying on her every move. The funny twist is that: the moment the apprentice ( the girl) starts doing the exercises of revelation, she DISCOVERS that she actually has real magic. Shock and a traumatic past of training to become a spy for the religious leaders cause her to initiate a sudden awakening. She falls in deep depression ( her entire life was a lie. Did the Vatican know when they employed her? Are there others? ( With magic at the heart of ''anti-magic'' religious world center?)

The apprentice/spy becomes depressed and her magical core acts up, making her very sick.

The mentor/witch takes care of her and teaches her how to balance her powers to stay healthy. Now the apprentice has no other choice but to become an initiated witch with a purpose. '' to stop modern witch persecution and slavery''

( it turned out that Witches and even transgender boys " boys with powers have a very strong feminine inclination as they are influenced by magic which runs predominantly in female energy.'' Consequently. Those transgender witches are much more vulnerable because they are easily recognizable. Most young boys who show signs of magic kidnaped and sold to private collectors or business owners.

So the apprentice Elzina asks her mentor and guide Loaylen to work with her to unmask the real bad guys and save her sisters in magic.

A crossover with Sherlock Holmes ensues. Elzina is the Sherlock in the story and Loaylen (short: Aylen) provides her expertise in shamanism and witchcraft. (As the John of the story. She is given a larger purpose for her life as a senior high powered witch.) Which is to umask the the lies of the religious lobbies and to end Witch Slavery in the world.

Elzina ( comes from beauty.) Loaylen ( comes from loyalty)
