Nullius Filius Prologue

Gaia and Sania were twins, born from the natural forces of the universe. Gaia emerged as a beacon of light and love, her magic imbued with the power of creation and vitality. On the other hand, Sania embodied the darker aspects of nature, with her magic drawing from the shadows and the mysteries of the universe.

Despite their differences, Gaia and Sania shared a deep bond and cherished each other as only twins could. However, as Gaia poured her energy into creating the natural world, Sania grew increasingly envious of her sister's attention. She watched as Gaia breathed life into the plants and animals, sculpting the earth into a magnificent canvas of color and texture while she was relegated to the shadows, left to tend to the darker corners of the world.

As time passed, Sania's envy turned to resentment, and she began to lash out at Gaia's creations with her magic. Her darkness crept across the land, devouring life and twisting it into grotesque forms. Gaia was horrified by her sister's actions, and she pleaded with Sania to stop and see the beauty in the world she had helped create.

But her jealousy consumed Sania, and she refused to listen. Her power grew stronger each day until even Gaia was no match for her. In a desperate attempt to save her creations, Gaia unleashed her full power, channeling the forces of creation and vitality into a single beam of light that enveloped Sania.

The darkness within Sania struggled against the light, but Gaia's power proved too great. Sania was trapped within a prison of light, unable to harm the natural world Gaia had created. Gaia wept for her sister, the love they had once shared, and the pain that had driven them apart. But she knew she had done what was necessary to protect her creations and vowed never to let her guard down again.

Many millennia had passed, and the world had changed. Amid this new era, a man was born - Arcadius. From his birth, it was clear that he was different from other humans, possessing an immense power that no one had ever seen before. His magic was dark and potent, and Gaia knew that she had to act to prevent his powers from causing harm to the world.

Thus, Gaia placed a powerful mark upon Arcadius as soon as he was born, linking his life force to her sister's prison. This mark would ensure that his powers would never get out of control and cause destruction in the world.

As Arcadius grew up, he discovered that he had a unique ability to read people's thoughts, a power that both fascinated and frightened him. He lived in solitude, afraid of what he might do if he let his guard down.

One fateful night, he met a beautiful woman and let himself be vulnerable for the first time. They spent the night together, and in the morning, Arcadius was gone, leaving the woman with a child growing inside her.

Years would pass, and the child would grow up, inheriting her father's psychic powers and mother's magic. Starting what is now known as the Abital coven.

But one day, Arcadius read the mind of a man planning to do something terrible. He tried to warn the man, but he, afraid of Arcadius, gathered the villagers to capture and burn him at the stake.

As the flames consumed him, Arcadius unleashed a powerful psychic blast, tearing open a portal to a hellish dimension and killing all the villagers. In his dying moments, Arcadius's mark transferred to his daughter, who now bore the weight of her father's power and the burden of his tragic legacy.

As it was known, the mark of Arcadius was powerful, transferring from one family member to the next as they assumed leadership of the coven. It was a burden that each member of the Abital family had to bear, knowing that they carried the legacy of their ancestor and the weight of his tragic history.

As the years passed, the coven grew more robust and more prosperous under the guidance of the Abital family. But with power came envy and jealousy; some coveted the mark for themselves, willing to do whatever it took to claim it.

The Abital Coven was well-known and respected for its mastery of dark magic. But their tendency to make enemies had caused them trouble, especially with their long-time rivals, the Celestial Coven. The Celestials had always coveted the power of the Abital mark and wanted it for themselves.

As tensions between the two covens continued to rise, the Abital family realized they needed to take drastic measures to protect themselves and their legacy. They began to train their young witches and warlocks more rigorously, preparing them for the inevitable conflict with the Celestials.

But the Celestials were not to be underestimated. They were powerful and skilled in their own right and had plans for the Abital mark. A shadowy figure within the Celestial Coven had devised a plan to steal the mark and harness its power for their purposes.

The stage was set for a confrontation between the two covens, with the fate of the Abital mark hanging in the balance.

The Abital family knew they had to act quickly and decisively. They gathered their most vital members and prepared for battle, determined to defend their mark at all costs. The Celestials, too, were ready for the fight, and the two covens clashed in a fierce and bloody battle.

The fighting was brutal and intense, with spells and curses flying everywhere. The Abital family fought with all their might, using their dark magic to devastating effect. But the Celestials were determined and resourceful, and they fought back with a ferocity that took the Abital family by surprise.

As the battle raged on, it became clear that the Abital family was losing ground. They were outnumbered and outmatched, and the Celestials seemed to be on the brink of victory. But in the darkest hour, a young witch named Sable stepped forward, wielding a power that even her family did not know she possessed.

Sable was the youngest daughter of the Abital family, who possessed the mark, a quiet and unassuming girl who her older siblings had always overshadowed. But at that moment, something within her awakened, and she unleashed a power that stunned her allies and enemies.

With a flick of her wrist, Sable unleashed a wave of dark-shadowy energy that swept through the battlefield, obliterating everything in its path. The Celestials were caught off guard, and many of their most vital members were destroyed in the blast.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Abital Coven emerged victorious. The Celestial Coven was shattered, and their plans to steal the Abital mark were thwarted.

Sable became a legend within the Abital Coven, revered for her bravery and incredible power. She had saved her family from certain destruction, and her name would go down in history as one of the greatest witches to ever wield the power of the Abital mark.
