1. War between royals
"I am not going over it again Lina. You're way too young to know anyway.", my mother told me as I sat in her lap. Today I turned six and all I wanted for my birthday is for mother to tell me story about war again. Mostly because that war was the reason I was hiding my whole life.
"But mama please!" I gave her puppy dog eyes and she sighed. She'll never be able to fight me.
My tactics was simple. Find the reason I was here and not in my world, grow up and nuke Golden Royal Family. I was here for some reason after being backstabbed by my boyfriend back at my world. And quite really backstabbed.
"Okay, but this is the last time.", she said same thing she said last time I asked her. "So you and I are witches. One of many, many magical beings. And being a witch is illegal since we're too powerful. Once, long time ago, we, witches lived in our own town. Then Golden Royal Family decided that they want to be the strongest even though they already had the crown. They attacked us and… well you know us baby. We would rather die than fight.
Your grandma was one of witches that actually fought them but Golden Royal Family had an army. We had ten women that were ready to fight."
"But mama! Mages really like witches and they are super powerful too. Why didn't mages help us?" I asked mother, shifting in her lap a bit.
"They… they decided that it was better to stay good with royals than help us.", mother said with sad look.
I felt mad. Because closest kind to witches decided to be little delicate flowers, almost all witches died. Sometimes I even believe it was only mother and me. And mother only survived because she found one kind she can disguise as.
Fairies.
They were almost powerless, but their magical abilities were similar to ours. And by containing our power, we could pass as them.
Well we could if someone from Gray Dogs wasn't there. I only saw them once and ran. They looked almost completely human, but unlike humans they had massive paws and claws. And their magic ability was to smell fairies and other kinds of beings that were almost powerless.
Mother and I didn't do out a lot. Only once a month to complete moon ritual. We can't really fight it though. Moon calls us to him and we start to sing. That is one more thing we have in common with fairies. They come outside while full moon and sing too.
"But we're safe, right mama?" I asked her.
"Yes. I have set strong protection spell on us so we're always safe."
Now I knew she wasn't telling me truth. I haven't been in this world for long and I haven't studied magic for long, but I know a which can't set a spell on herself or other witch. So we were always in danger. But I had my mother. And she will protect me. I know she will.
