Prologue

A man entered the room and bowed down to the two men in front of him. The first was wearing a common outfit for the guards of the tribe. The man that was standing next to the throne was wearing a more luxurious outfit after all he was the heir to the tribe. While the one who was sitting on the throne had the most luxurious and extravagant outfit he was the chief.

"Your majesty, we were able to catch the traitors" The guard, Septimus said "The three women who were found practicing magic were thrown into the dungeons"

The Chief, Arthur, was fuming! One of the many rules of his tribe is that women cannot practice magic. But now he finds that three rebellious women had broken that rule. "Who are these veil women?" He said.

"Anna, daughter of the doctor Isabella, Nora daughter of guard Karl." Septimus said. Arthur was already more angry seeing Nora is his heir's mother's niece. "And Maria..." Septimus posed for a second to see the chief's reaction then continued "Your majesty's daughter"

"There must be a mistake Maria would never break the rules" The heir and the older brother of Maria, Albus said.

"I'm sorry your highness but we found spell books in her room." Septimus replied.

"Go and search all of the women's rooms and anyone who has a spell book is to be put in prison till I decide what to do with them." Arthur said.

After two hours in the dungeons, the girls were seated all other than Deena, "Let me out don't you know who I am?" She yelled but the guards were too far to hear her she turned around to see all the others her half sisters Maria and Fatima, her step cousin Nora, and her friend Farah and Farah's sister Sarah, and an older woman she knew as a doctor.

"It's all your fault! Why did you have to want to break the rules and drag all of us with you" Deena said to Maria.

"Deena you have to understand that I didn't force any of them to train on magic" Maria said trying to calm her down "You seem to enjoy being a slave to men--"

"I'm the chief's daughter not a slave" she yelled. "Are you treated like one? Answer me do they treat you equally to Albus or Ethan or any of our brothers?" Maria said but Deena stayed silent. "The are the princes of the Zephyr Tribe but we don't even have a last name!" She continued.

Maria turned to the others and said "let's get out of here" She then put her hands on the bars of the the window and the metal started melting. When it melted completely she turned to the others "Come on" She said and took Fatima's hand and held her up till she reached the window and got out. "Aren't you coming?" She said to Deena who looked hesitant, While Nora was helping Farah to get out. "If we leave you here you will take all of the blame." She continued then Deena gave up and went towards her sister.

"Please take us with you" the men in the cell next to them said. Maria knew them as the sons of traitors and bringing them was important.

They got out of the village carefully and tried to retrieve important things on their way out. Maria stood on the hill and looked down on her village that she called home "If they weren't sexist I would have never done this" She said.
