Caitlin Blackburn; a great warrior chooses to cut off her lineage and lay low in a small peaceful town, Cinderville, all because she wants to protect her daughter as she has been Chosen. But even as she tries to live and blend with the townspeople, they won’t stop at nothing to make her and her daughter look bad in the eyes of other people whenever they see them, and on a fateful day, they pronounced her a witch and burned her in the eyes of all the townspeople. Kneeling amongst her mother’s scattered ashes, Kyra vowed to avenge her mother’s death and the once peaceful town soon became a living hell for the people. That was before she later found out about other covens and how they were all after her life because she is the one sent to bring an end to their immortality in order to save humanity. Now, she was caught between saving the kind who killed her mother and giving redemption to her kind to live amongst humans and be like them.

While other children could be seen playing around and giggling about, a little girl stood by her mother’s side watching them with delightful eyes. As much as she wanted to go play with the other kids, she knew she could not because that would mean disobeying her mother. Her mother has never allowed her to be with other children, let alone play with them.
The little girl tore her gaze away from the kids and now looked at her mother who was busy talking to a woman in their neighborhood.“Did you say someone asked of me while I was away?” her mother asked the woman who was quite younger than her in age.“Yes,” the woman responded before she continued, “I didn’t know you had relatives from the higher class.”The little girl’s mother looked at the woman with a slight frown on her forehead and the woman gave an awkward laugh.“You know what I am saying. Ever since you came to this town, I have always known that you came from a wealthy home with the way you walk and carry yourself. Even the men in this town have been admiring you secretly. I do hear them gossip about you a lot and I think you should give one of them a chance.”“Is that so?” the girl’s mother asked and the woman nodded.“Yes,” she responded.“Then why have you not started your wedding preparations?”“Huh?” the woman asked with slightly raised brows.“The son of Mortimer has been seeking you frequently and I am sure he has been asking for your hand in marriage.”“That—”“I am not a widow, Padma,” the girl’s mother said before the woman could complete her statement. “I am sorry if my words hurt you as it is no news that your husband is late but how many times do I have to tell you that I still have a husband? He has been away for a very long time but he is not dead. He will surely return and that is why I haven’t left this town yet.”Padma had a look of shock on her face and she said, “Don’t tell me you are still waiting for him to return?”“He will surely come back,” the girl’s mother said firmly.On hearing that, Padma hit her arm and said, “How can you say that? If a man leaves home for fifteen years without returning, it is either he is dead or he has married to another woman. And come to think of it, he only came once and vanished. Poor girl doesn’t even know who her father is,” Padma said and looked at the little girl before she realized what she had just said.She covered her mouth with her palms and quickly apologized, “I am sorry. What I meant was, the townspeople are talking about how they never saw the father of your daughter and I meant to say that you should at least have someone who can support you and your daughter. You don’t even allow her play with the other kids and instead, you take her with you all the time,” she said and offered a sweet smile to the little girl and when she made to touch her cheek, her mother pulled her to the back.Padma looked at the girl’s mother and said, “That is what I am talking about. You won’t even allow me touch her.”“I am sorry, but I have my reasons.”“You say that all the time, but you need to consider her feelings too. You can’t keep her away from her peers at this young age. She might just learn to be alone when she grows and that is very bad,” Padma let her know.“You don’t have to worry about anything. She is my daughter and I am sure she will come to understand the reason I am doing all these.”“Caitlin...”“I will take my leave now as I need to prepare lunch for my daughter. As you see, she is so tired and she must be very hungry.” Saying that, the mother took her daughter by the hand and started to leave.Padma scoffed immediately and said, “Is that my fault then? I don’t even know the kind of work you make her do.” She stepped down from the footstone she has been standing on and said to Caitlin as she walked with her daughter, “The son of Mortimer has been coming to me because he wants to talk to you and he knows I am the only one close to you in this town so give him a chance and move on with your life.”But Caitlin continued to walk with her daughter towards her home and didn’t bother to look back at Padma even though she heard her clear enough.As they headed towards their home, the people who saw them began to whisper to each other and some of them looked at her with distaste. Some even had to stop to stare down at her but as usual, she didn’t pay them any attention. She just kept walking and her daughter held her hand firmly. When they got to their abode which was a small old house, Caitlin pushed the wooden door open and it gave a creaking sound. Pulling her daughter along with her, they entered and she closed the door before walking to the side to open the wooden window. Light entered the room and Caitlin walked to the corner of the room where she emptied the things that was in a bag. She took the herbs she had plucked down from the forest where they went and she put them in a bowl before pounding them together.The little girl watched as her mother got busy, moving from one place to another and then she saw her disappear to the backyard. Her mother soon came back with two bowls in her hand and she went to where her daughter sat on a mat. She sat down in front of her and took her hand.“Stretch your palm for me,” she said and her daughter did as she was told.When she opened her little palm, there were injury marks on it. She watched her mother dip a cloth inside the warm water that was beside her and she squeezed it before using it to clean her palm. She did not wince because of the pain as she already got used to it. This was not her first time getting the marks and she never for once questioned her mother on why she always took her to the forest to do those things which result in her getting the injuries.She stared at her mother with her bright hazel eyes and as if noticing her staring, her mother looked at her and she smiled.“You did great today, Kyra,” her mother praised her and she saw a bit of excitement in her eyes which resulted it to have a flicker of gold in it. Caitlin saw it before it quickly returned back to normal and she smiled before she started to apply the herb on the injury. When she was done, she pat her daughter’s head and stood up with the bowls.Kyra waited for her mother to return and in the meantime, she used her little finger to touch the herb her mother applied on her injury. Taking off a bit of the herb, she stared at her palm which already returned back to normal as if the injury was never there in the first place and then she heard her mother’s footsteps returning.Keeping her hand to herself, she saw her mother appear in the room with a bowl in her hand and she came to sit beside her.“Eat this Kyra,” her mother said as she placed the bowl in front of her.Kyra stared at the content inside and used her small hand to move the bowl closer. Even though they did not have much or live like other children, her mother always makes sure that she is satisfied and that is why the things the other kids of her age have does not move her.“Mother?”“Yes Kyra?” her mother answered and looked at her.“Why do the town people hate us?” Kyra asked in her little voice and looked up at her mother.Caitlin has always known Cinderville to be a peaceful and accepting town, but that was not until she arrived and she started experiencing hate by her fellow women just a year after. It was because of her beauty which attracts the men in the town and also because she does not relate much with her folks people. But she does not blame them, rather, she blames her kind and where she came from.She offered a smile to her daughter and told her, “They don’t hate us, Kyra. I have lived here even before I had you and I can tell you that the people of this town love their neighbors.”“But they always look down on us and I do hear them talk bad about you, and about father. You always tell me that he will come back to us but I have not seen him.”It was not Caitlin’s wish to keep her father away from her but all she was doing was to protect her from the world. She already knows the fate her daughter carries even before she was born, but she was not ready to risk her daughter’s life all because of some fate.Bringing her hand up to touch her daughter’s head, she said to her, “Don’t worry about what the people say. It’s just the two of us for now.”Present day…Every morning when it’s not the weekend, the house is always on heat mode. There is the TV playing, footsteps running from one place to another and music blaring out from a stereo in one of the rooms. Noises everywhere.Amber dashed out of the kitchen, pulling off her apron and carrying with her a lunchbox which was already packed. She rushed to the dining table and placed it aside before dishing out food from the pot she brought to the table earlier. Her eyes darted to the TV and she saw the news that was being displayed. It was yet another sad death and the cause unknown.“This doesn’t seem to end,” she muttered to herself and shook her head sadly.Turning her eyes away from the Tv, she moved her eyes towards one of the rooms, the one that belonged to her daughter and she shouted on top of her voice so her daughter would hear;“Renee! Get out here now! You are going to be late for school. Again! And turn off that damn stereo!”“I’m almost done! Give me a minute mom!” Re
Three days after, Aiden and the rest of the people had stayed back at Athens and are making preparations for the sacrifice which Kyra said they should prepare for before passing out on the field after the rift closed up and the black clouds cleared from the sky. Every one of them who accepted the prophecy and the Chosen One all stayed in Athens and prepared for the sacrifice as they all waited for her to wake up. Sage had been by her side during those three days, watching her and trying to understand how she must have felt after she woke up from her deep sleep. Bathilda had explained what happened while he was being held as a prisoner by his own people, but now, there was nothing like that anymore. No one belonged to a coven. They are all One.Kyra slowly opened her eyes and saw a figure standing over her and looking down at her. It was blurry at first and she called softly, “Sage.”“Oh sorry. I sneaked in after he left. Did you finally wake up?”Kyra blinked her eyes again and saw th
As they all waited for Kyra to say something, Kyle knew his coven all looked up to him now and this could be his chance to prove in front of everyone that he was the one they needed. If he killed the Chosen One now and in front of everyone, he could easily take over Athens and control all the other covens. He would build his own council where they would take orders from him and be brought for punishment if they went against him. This thought brought him an inner excitement and with that, he stepped out from the crowd.All eyes were on him and they all seem to want to know what he wanted to do as none of them was brave enough to step forward. He was even surprised when no one opposed him and it gave him more confidence. His lips twisted in a confident smirk. "So, the death warrior finally shows herself,” he said. “I thought Sapphire killed you. How are you still alive?”Kyra stood calm amid the storm that was slowly brooding inside of her and her hand gripped the ancient sword. “This i
The guards that were outside the building of Athens, who were guarding the place from any intruders, soon became distracted by a brighter light they saw ahead of them, up in the sky. It looked like a blazing sun and it was heading directly towards them.“I think…the sun is about to fall,” one of them said and the others watched on, until they saw that it was closing in on them. Not having the time to take cover, they cowered and shield their faces with their hands and they expected to feel a burn on their skin, but instead of that, they heard a loud thud that shook the ground beneath them.Meanwhile, in Arkadia, the vampires were busy making plans on how they would attack Polis before the Silver Crest Coven would, and how they would capture the chosen one and kill her once and for all. Meera had brought Kevin to the coven, hoping to use him against Kyra who people speak so highly of and one that should be feared, but she was determined to kill her with her own hands. She vowed to make
Kyra slowly opened her eyes and she stared up at the ceiling for a long time. Her white skin was starting to return back to its original color and in a matter of seconds, it regained life once again. She raised her upper body and sat upright, her hands holding either sides of the hard stone where she laid and she buried her head down, her hairs falling over.She knew a lot had changed. The vampires were all back and she was being hunted again by them. Also, the world she knew of had also changed. Even Pollypel was no longer called like that anymore. It is now Polis.The events that happened in the past days suddenly came back to her and she knew she was staked by Sapphire who disguised herself using her shape-shifting technique. It was how she killed Sage in that war and he had thought she was the one.Revisiting the past as if she had really gone back and lived that life all over again felt like she had been out for years. She felt she had died and returned to life, but in a new form
Sage had just finished killing the last vampire left and he saw Kyra at the front coming towards him. it seems she had managed to kill Kyle and now, they were the only two left. The battle was over, he thought. As Kyra came to him, she embraced him and he embraced her back. Even though this was the end, they were still together, but as he was embracing her, he suddenly felt her push something into him and he let out a gasp before pushing her body away and he looked down at his own chest to see that she had just staked him with a sword. But why? He thought and the looked at her with pain in his eyes. Her eyes held no emotions or remorse. It was as if she had been waiting for this moment to get rid of him, but why would she do that to him, he thought again as his body fell to the ground and his vision became blurry.Kyra got to the scene and she saw someone standing with Sage. That was before she saw his body fall to the ground and she screamed his name;“SAGE!”But Sage didn’t hear her
Kyra led her people to war. It was one that would never be forgotten, and one that no one would live to tell…Few hours before the war started, Kyra walked to the mountain and met with Jade. They both sat down there in silence and just staring at the horizon.“It’s going to be soon,” Kyra said to him. “I can feel it.”Jade looked at her, knowing what she meant, and Kyra looked at him and asked;“Is there anything you want to say to me?”Jade pulled the corner of his lips into a smile and said, “I wish you would have asked me before now.” Jade knew even if he said what was on his mind, it was already too late. And he said to her, “I thought you would know.”But Kyra understood what he was saying, and yet, she pretended not to know.They sat there in a long silence and as they watch the night go on, Kyra’s eyes caught something from afar, like a black cloud, heading towards them. she stood up, and so did Jade who knew what it was already, and he looked at her.Kyra went back to the cove
Kyra sat on her stone bed, wiping the blood off her sword with a piece of cloth. As she did that, a knock came on her door and when she raised her eyes up, she saw Sage entering, and he shut the door again. He walked towards her with a bowl and a cloth in his hand and he came to stand in front of her.Kyra set down her sword to the side carefully and she looked at him again. She hasn't said a word to him ever since they got back together, even though she knows he has lost his uncle and brother.Sage placed the bowl beside her and took her hand gently without permission. He dipped the cloth inside the water and squeezed and he started to wipe her body with it. After he was done with her hands, he came up to her face and started wiping the dirt and blood off and the water turned dirty."Do you think I'm right with what I'm doing?" She asked him.Sage stopped the movement of his hand and he asked, "Leading us to war?" He then answered, "It's the only thing we can do. Since Aamon is dead,
Since the day Kyra and Sage returned to Pollypel island, the place has been silent and they didn't return to their normal life. No one trained anymore or bullied anyone. Everyone just kept to themselves, grieving inside and awaiting what was next for their lives.Kyra hasn't smiled or spoken a word since she got back. The only place they could find her was on that cliff where she had lost Samantha. She would sit there for days and no one dared to disturb her.Sage travelled back to Athens to have a funeral for his brother and uncle and that night, Jade took up the courage to go meet Kyra where she was for days.He climbed up the mountain and when he saw her, he stopped and just stared at her. He didn't say a word until later when the sky started to darken."I know you can hear me so I'll just say what I have to say," he said and started, "I know how you feel about losing your friend. I am also in pain but it's nothing compared to yours, I know. Samantha is my sister, but she does mean
