Prologue

It was a ceremonious night when Matilda bore her child. The moon shone bright in the dark sky for the most powerful white witch, the 15th generation of their race.

At the sound of the newborn’s cry, a loud wail was heard. It echoed around the place, scaring all the birds that had been watching kindly beside them. The loud wail was even followed by small ominous growls like that of a beast. Orlando was alarmed because of it.

Matilda clinged on Orlando’s arm as she felt the black power coming from Amara. Orlando glanced at her as if they were thinking the same thing.

He immediately stood up and placed a brown cape around Clara, his nine year old daughter. Then, he handed her his newborn daughter.

The brown cape will serve as their protection from Amara. It will prevent its wearer from releasing their power and it will hide them from the sight of any powerful being.

It is a family heirloom, passed on from generation to generation to whoever was the most powerful white witch living in the family. It is also one of the reasons why their life is in danger.

“Mommy,” Clara’s voice trembled as she called out to her mother. You could see fear in her gentle eyes.

She looked into her daughter’s eyes and started using her powers. Her eyes glowed purple, so did Clara’s.

“Run, sweetie and take your sister with you! Run far from this place and never turn back. Live with the normal people. Take care of Jennifer and raise her. That would be her name as a normal person. Let her and her fate discover her true identity. We love you both so, so much. Farewell.”

After she said her last words, tears fell out of her eyes that she couldn’t stop them. Her eyes have returned back to normal, but she left Clara’s in that condition. She has to put her under her purple power so she could make her do whatever she wants her to do. She couldn’t let them leave without her extra layer of protection.

Clara started to walk with little Jennifer in her arms. They had to leave the white castle. Orlando stood quietly behind them. Not even a tear escaped his eyes. Everything was too much that his heart became hard.

His eyes started to change its color. His right eye turned purple, the other black, a sign that he also possesses the blood of a black witch. Among the two of them, only Matilda is capable of fighting against their enemies because a pure white witch can only defend. If they hurt a being, no matter how bad it is their purple blood will be soiled by black blood.

Orlando knew to himself that this would be the end for him and his wife. However, he will do everything that he can just to kill them all even if one of them is his younger sister just to protect his wife Matilda.
