Amara covered her mouth as she looked at the fish’s price.
Amara Strauss
My my so expensive for such a small fish.
The fish merchant gave her a creepy smile.
Fish seller: why i’ll give it to you for free if you do something for me.
Amara looked at him shocked his face had changed into a wide creepy smile.
Amara Strauss
I’m sorry but no I’m married and I have a son.
The fish seller frowned he looked at her angered.
The fish seller: there are always sacrifices for war isn’t there like cheating on your husband just to get some food for your family?
Amara looked at him she touched her own hand.
Amara Strauss
(I had almost forgot I guess when your injured time flys and throughout that time a war was declared.)
Amara took out her bag opening it she frowned.
Amara Strauss
(I would only have enough for one if I bought it of these small fishes.)
Amara Strauss
W-what do you want me to do?
The fish seller smiled he took out a mysterious letter.
Fish seller: I need you to deliver this to the local merc it’s for my sick child up in the dwarf kingdom.
The fish seller frown he shook his head.
Fish seller: I’m married to and I very much love my wife.
Amara nodded taking the letter she turned around running off.
Amara Strauss
*sighs in relief*
Amara smiled as she stopped in front of the tavern.
Amara Strauss
If I’m correct this is where the mercs likes to drink.
Quill hint

Amara jumped up she turned around shocked and confused.
Amara Strauss

Amara Strauss

Amara pulls out the letter quill looks at it frowning.
Quill hint
That letter you must-
Everything lit up in a gulf of flames throwing Amara to the ground.
Quill was thrown across the street through a wall quickly the flames followed him setting everything ablaze.
Amara opened her eyes shaking she looked around her body’s were on the floors bloodied and stabbed some missing heads while others burned to a crisp.
Amara Strauss
No no no no!
Amara looked around her for a exit her head rang as the white lights flashed.
Amara looked behind her Quill had been standing in front of a broken wall his arm bloodied his armor broken to the point of no repair.
Amara Strauss
What’s happening?!
Quill hint
Those wretched westerners attacked a village that’s what’s happening.
Quill hint
We have to head north west to the forest of the hidden children we’ll be safe there.
Amara shook her head pointing away.
Amara Strauss
I have to go back my son might be injured.
Quill looked at her surprised he smiled nodding.
Quill hint
I will wait for you at the front of the forest for two hours if your not back by then I’ll have to continue on.
Amara nodded she turned around and ran everything around her slowed down as her fear took over.
She stopped her home had been collapsed Amara shook her head she ran over.
Amara ran over she tried to pick up the building but to no luck.
The floor began to tremble Amara backed up the debris began to lift up.
Quinn was in the center a darkness surrounded him Amara shook her head she ran in his eyes began to glow he began to cry.
The debris began to circle around him like a tornado Artemis walked closer the debris began to cut her but she ignored it and continued walking forward.
Quinn looked at her shocked his eyes twitched.
The debris got faster turning around faster to a point where she couldn’t see it Amara shook her head.
Amara Strauss
I messed up once I will not mess up again!
Amara’s began to have flashes of a memories that felt like a different life.
Amara Strauss
Choosing my vengeance over my own five year old child was a mistake!
Quinn Strauss
Just leave like you’ve always have!
Amara walked closer shaking her head.
Amara Strauss
I may be scared but not of you I’m scared of making the same mistake but I know I won’t I will protect you no matter the cost!
Quinn shook his head he lifted his hand with a upset smile
Quinn Strauss
You’ve already messed quite enough
A beam of flames spewed out of his small hands.
Amara Strauss
How did you learn that spell?!
Quinn Strauss
You really shouldn’t have left your magical spell book under the houses flooring!
Amara lifted her hand she looked down.
Amara Strauss
aqua trabem.
A beam of water fired back.
Amara Strauss
You need to stop the spell please!
Quinn Strauss
Why should I listen to you, you abandoned me!
Amara Strauss
I may have abandoned you but you are still my son you should know the draw back of using such a strong spell at such a young age your bones will break and your flesh will be burned!
Quinn Strauss
So what like you’ve ever cared!
Quinn’s fire beam got brighter his clothes sleeve burned off.
Quinn Strauss
Yeah right.
Amara looked at him her water beam stopped the fire had hit her shoulder.
Amara shook her head she walked closer the fire burned away at her sleeve burning her skin she smiled.
Amara Strauss
I won’t ever make the same mistake in abandoning you again.
Amara got closer the debris continued to cut her Amara smiled as she stopped once she was in front of Quinn, Quinn began to cry his arm began to get torn and burned his bone slightly popped out of his skin he cried.
The flames stopped hitting he hugged Amara crying.
The debris dropped covering the floor and as she saw quilters corpse it slowly got covered to Amara looked at Quinn.
Amara Strauss
Come on I’ll pick you up.
Quinn nodded Amara picked him up and began running.
Amara Strauss
Come on we must run to the forests edge.
A second explosion that had been at the house had wiped it out completely.
They’ve arrived at the forest edge quill had still been waiting he smiled.
Quill hint
Finally are you guys alright?
Amara nodded she took quills hand running.
Quill hint
W-what’s wrong?!
Amara Strauss
There’s something dark at the village us we have to run!
Quill hint
Something was at the village do you know what it is?
Amara Strauss
No this creatures it looked human but it also looked twisted it’s arms were longer than normal everything was distorted about it even it’s voice it kept mentioning something about: “The Secret”
Quill stopped he had let go of Amara’s hand Amara stopped she looked behind her confused at why Quill stopped.
Amara Strauss
Why have you stopped we can’t stop.
Quill hint
It’s nothing but we’ve gone far enough what ever your talking about shouldn’t be able to track us.
Amara Strauss
Yeah your right.
Amara Strauss
*breaths heavily*
Quinn Strauss
My arm it hurts.
Amara looked at him she nodded putting him down she held the destroyed hand.
Amara Strauss
sana manus in sanguinem in vena cura et vena.
Quinn’s hand began to glow his bone went back into his skin healing the wound it was covered by a healed skin.
Amara Strauss
There I healed most of it all you need is a bandage and let the rest heal naturally.
Quinn looked at her Amara had looked worried.
Amara Strauss
We must go to the capital they must be warned.
Quill hint
Yes you are right but where are we?
Amara looked around confused a hidden figures appeared from the shadows with the figure of a women.
Hood figure: Now who might you be?
Amara unsheathed her sword pointing it at the hood figured.
Amara Strauss
Who might we be?
Amara Strauss
Who might you be!?
Hooded figure: you walk up into my masters forests and you dare ask who am I-
Hooded figure: Wait Amara?
Amara Strauss
What is it with everyone knowing me!?
The hooded figure jumped in glee.
Hood figure: that’s because-
The hooded figured lifted her hood revealing long silver hair and pointy ears.
Marie lane
your my daughter.
Amara’s eyes opened widely she pointed her sword threateningly.
Amara Strauss
What kind of magic is this?!
Marie lane
My daughter it is me Marie your mum.
Amara Strauss
No my mother died giving birth to my baby brother you aren’t her this has to be a spell.
Marie lane
My beloved daughter it’s me.
Marie tried to walk forward but each time Marie was threatened.
Amara Strauss
No my mother died 8 years ago along with my brother!
Marie lane
No Amara your brother is alive and so am I.
Amara shook her head she looked down she nodded smiling.
Amara looked at Marie smiling.
Quill hint
What does that mean how can she prove it?
Amara Strauss
Every witch is born with their own magical aura no aura can be the same as another except if their family but even that’s rare.
Quill hint
What if this is true what’s your magical aura?
Amara Strauss
Mine is blue like the monarch butterfly my familiar is the monarch butterfly if she is my real mom her aura should be silver like the white owl!
Marie lane
Honey you should know there are exceptions a magical aura isn’t fixed.
Amara Strauss
What does that mean?!
Amara Strauss
Are you actually saying your telling lies?!
Marie lane
No your magical aura changes color if your touching certain types of magic.
Amara Strauss
I said prove it I don’t care if your messing with dark magic I will be able to tell!
Marie nodded her body began to glow a silverish color mixed with a blackness.
Marie lane
I’m sorry my love that you’ve been lied to.
Amara Strauss
So what your saying is brothers alive?
Marie lane
Yes your brother is alive though he’s older... Follow me I will take you to our home.
Marie turned around and began to walk Amara followed her face had looked like she was in a trance.
After what seemed like a few hours they stopped at a mansion but something felt off it had been too silent for Amara’s liking she stopped Marie soon stopped she looked at Amara.
Marie lane
Why have you stopped?
Amara Strauss
Somethings wrong it’s too quiet.
Marie lane
Don’t worry about that this home also serves as a orphanage for kids that have magic potential
Marie lane
The children here are easily scared and shy as before due to their magical potential they were threatened some nearly killed so their scared of new people.
Amara Strauss
So what your saying is their all around me hiding away.
Marie nodded she turn towards the door.
Marie lane
Come on Amara we should go in I already made some food.
Amara continued to walk towards the door she began to remember something from long before.
Young Amara Strauss
Mom look over there.
Amara pointed at a tree that housed tons of blue butterfly’s.
Marie lane
Yes my love aren’t those nice butterfly’s?
Amara shook her head Amara pointed at a different tree with monarch butterfly’s with black wing lining.
Young Amara Strauss
Those ones are amazing.
Marie lane
My My you are right about the monarch butterfly’s.
Marie lane
Are you alright?
Amara jumped up a bit shocked she looked around.
Amara quickly sat back down gulping.
Amara noticed that everyone was staring at her.
Amara Strauss
Was I saying anything?
Marie lane
Yeah something about the monarch butterfly’s.
Amara Strauss
Oh... sorry about that anyway where’s brother?
Mattie smiled she nodded.
Marie lane
Yeah he’s just getting ready you know how it is being in the fairy race especially when you have wings.
Amara nodded Quinn looked at her confused.
Marie looked at him shocked.
Marie lane
You haven’t told him about the wings?!
Amara Strauss
The amount of elf blood in him is small his life span isn’t all that high but it isn’t that low seeing how he has a imperial father I didn’t think I would need the talk.
Marie lane
You know our clans blood it’s a dominator sooner or later it will completely dominate his imperial blood just like how it’s doing with you.
Amara looked down at her hands she frowned.
Marie lane
I’ll explain everything to you including what the wings are.
Marie lane
The fairy’s are subcategories of elves they are a rare occurrence in the world only 900 fairy’s are born to each race of elves less rare in a family of two fairy’s have a child.
Marie lane
Anyway fairy’s aren’t born their made really on a random occurrence mostly on children’s awakening some like I said elves will unlock a second form some call it the butterfly form but we call it just our fairy forms the really difference is, is that we sprout wings depending on our auras color anyway... fairy wings don’t really appear out of no where well actually for some they do anyway fairy wings are also hiders.
Quinn looked at her confused.
Quinn Strauss
What’s it hiding?
Marie lane
It’s hiding ones true magical potential.
Marie lane
But as a fairy that’s not just one of the many great benefits due to fairy’s being attached to nature fairy’s also get their own special weapon from nature your mom actually has one due to her being a fairy.
Quinn looked at his mom shocked.
Quinn Strauss
Momma your a fairy!?
Amara looked to the side.
Quinn looked at her confused.
Marie lane
Don’t blame your mother due to her being a fairy well like most rare races they are... not yet fully discovered so due to that when your mother first transformed she was experimented on her wings were cut off to test if they can grow back.
Marie said Quinn looked at Marie shocked his hand trembled.
Quinn Strauss
They didn’t grow back?
Marie lane
They grew back but... her father wanted to learn more no matter the cost.... there was one other experiment but you are too young to hear that one.
Quinn looked at his hand he shook his head.
Quinn Strauss
So mom where is your weapon?
Amara looked at him she grabbed the black sword sheathed on her back.
Marie lane
A sword... hmm I guess it does make sense.
Quill hint
Wait you said something about the sword being special it doesn’t look it?
Marie lane
Each weapon is different with Amara’s she is able to infuse her sword with magic.
