5: The revelation

After the prophecy was revealed to Edward and Maria they were happy, but they knew a girl wouldn't make it too far, so they prayed for a boy, they told no one of the pregnancy when Maria became pregnant, and moved to the mortal world, telling friends that they were going on holiday, they lived in the mortal world and checked into a mortal hospital when the time to give birth came.

When a girl was born, they decided that the only way to keep her safe was to give her up, they found a mortal couple that had no children of their own, they went to their house and explained the situation, Edward explained to Steven that he was a witch and he explained the prophecy and also explained how his daughter was in danger due to the prophecy, Steven promised that he would look after young Anastasia, Edward asked Steven to send Anastasia to the other realm on her sixteenth birthday, so that she can receive her powers, to this Steven and his wife both promised. To make sure their daughter could enter the other realm, Edward, using magic, made a doorway underground, first he made the path down below, he walked to the cave wall and wrote the spell, after he wrote the spell, he pricked his finger with a pin, and smeared some blood onto the wall, just under the spell, the blood disappeared quickly, now he needed to make sure his daughter wouldn't stumble in by accident so he magiced a table with a key like no other, he gave the key to Steven who wore it around his neck, promising to protect it until Anastasia was of age.

The journal ended there, and things started to make sense now, after Edward gave me to Steven the council must have found out that Edward had broken a rule, so the council killed him and his wife, then they must have gone to kill the mortals, but when they saw that the mortals had a child they settled to wipe their memories instead, and because Steven and Caroline had no memory of meeting Edward they didn't send me to the other realm on my sixteenth birthday. Now it was time to decide what I should do, the prophecy stated I was ruler, but the realm wasn't ready for a female ruler, but it was my right, but I knew nothing of this world, I knew nothing about being a witch, and most importantly I had no powers.

I went to the other realm nearly three hours before my initiation, I was walking along a stoney path, it had beautiful smelling flowers on either side, I had no idea where this path would lead me, but it helped me think, I knew what my prophecy stated but was I ready to take on the world to get what was rightfully mine?

I came to a wooden bench that overlooked the town, I was on a hill now, and I could see a river and many houses, I sat down, not even close to making a decision. People walked past me, some ignored me, many nodded in hello, some sat down, sat for a few minutes then left, I felt like asking these people for help, but I knew no one could help me, once again I felt alone, so alone, but instead of feeling like the loneliest girl on Earth, I now felt like the loneliest girl in the universe, which was now bigger than just Earth, I missed my parents, all four of them and it made me cry. I still didn't know what to do, and now there was just one hour left to my initiation.

Sorry for short chapter.
