“I don’t have any reason to beat about the bush,” Amaya admitted.Willa nodded. “You have every right to feel that way. It’s something I’ve grappled with for years.”“Perhaps we should start at the beginning and explain what was happening around the time you were left in that realm,” Yael suggested.“In that realm?” Zen was the one to ask.Yael nodded. “Where we are isn’t a part of your realm.”“Other realms exist?” he questioned.“In a world where all of us exist, is it really that hard to believe that other realms may exist?” Willa taunted.Zen thought about it. “I guess this is how humans feel finding out that we exist.”“It’s exactly that. As I was saying, in that realm, around the time Amaya was born, a war had broken out amongst the witches,” Yael started off.“The Great Witch War,” Hale commented.Yael smiled a little, nodding. “The Great Witch War was started between two covens, but it didn’t take long before the other covens found themselves having taken sides.

Horace was sitting in the living room, his thoughts miles away. His granddaughter was back, but he hadn’t had an opportunity to talk to her. When they last spoke, before she’d disappeared, he had been harsh towards her.And now he wanted to make up for it.However, he was aware that she’d been avoiding him.

He had abandoned her when she needed him most.

While he’d maintained a calm facade at finding out, he’d be the first to admit that he never once thought he’d live through a time where their bloodline was mixed with that of werewolve

Sage has always been curious about Amaya. She’d learnt a lot about the lone witch growing up, and meeting her had her even more curious about the woman and why she was ostracized. The witch world had many politics, especially since the Great Witch War.And yet the one thing they’d all agreed on, was that Amaya had to be isolated.She’d gotten a read on the woman’s energy, and nothing about it suggested that she was a danger to the other covens. She was shunned solely for being born outside of a coven, but Sage knew that couldn’t be the main reason.There was something bigger.She’d spent some time in the past couple of years, running her own investigation into all things Amaya. She’d learnt that the woman learnt everything that she knew from witches who had gone against the rules and taken her in.Amaya never stayed in one place for too long. She, together with Edward, moved around a lot so that she could learn different things from different people. Amaya was a powerful witch, and Sa
