[Seraphine’s POV] 'I can't believe...' Suddenly, my tears flowed uncontrollably. My eyes were still shut, and my consciousness remained connected to my power, linking me to the future. Something in my chest couldn't be contained; it wanted to burst out. Overwhelmed, I felt a depth of emotion beyond imagination. As far as I could see into the future, my power never provided anything personally beneficial for me. Always and forever, all I did was help others. When my power led me to my grown-up child in the future, I finally realized the wonder of my magic. And for the first time, I felt grateful that God granted me the ability to see into the future. 'Yes, my child. It's me, your mother.' Even in my vision, my voice cracked as I held back tears. My child's hands reached out, as if wanting to embrace me. Reflexively, I felt warmth at this unexpected reunion. My child, so much like Cassian, I longed to hug them. [Seraphine, stop] But my power prevented our embrace. I was shocke
In the stillness that followed the final incantation, I felt as if the world had come to a standstill. Dozens of emotions swirled within me. Even though I had managed to save cassian, the internal conflict I had hoped to resolve through this meeting still haunted me.My son's gaze, filled with uncertainty, cut through my tumultuous thoughts. He knew, as if he could read the turmoil within my soul. "Mother," he murmured gently, "I understand that this is difficult for you. I just want to help you, but I also want to know who I truly am."I looked into his eyes, attempting to find answers behind his mixed expression. Though I felt proud and grateful that he was here with me, I also felt fear. Fear that our meeting would only create more problems than solutions. Fear that he would become ensnared in the time webs just like I was."I don't want to endanger you," I said, my voice quivering. "I don't want this worry and conflict to burden you as well."He smile
In the midst of our shared determination, I couldn't shake the gnawing fear clawing at my insides. My son's newfound power, so raw and potent, both fascinated and terrified me. As a mother, my first instinct was to shield him from any harm, but his determination to harness this magic for the greater good was unyielding."Sweetheart," I said, my voice quivering with the weight of my concerns, "I admire your courage, but this power… it's beyond anything I've ever encountered. I'm afraid it might hurt you, might hurt us both."He met my gaze, his eyes filled with conviction. "I won't let it harm us, Mother. I can control it, I know I can."I reached out, my hand hovering above his, the unspoken worry etched on my face. "But what if we can't? What if this power consumes you? I can't bear the thought of losing you, not after everything we've been through."He took my hand in his, his grip firm and reassuring. "I won't let that happen. We'll find someone
Under the tutelage of my so, I delved deeper into the realms of magic. With each passing day, he shared his profound knowledge, revealing intricate techniques and ancient rituals that illuminated the vast landscape of sorcery before us. His patience knew no bounds, and his passion for teaching was as boundless as the endless horizons of the arcane world.We practiced tirelessly, honing our skills in the art of spellcasting. Seraphine guided me through complex rituals, teaching me the delicate balance between intention and incantation. He introduced me to the subtle nuances of elemental manipulation, guiding my hands as I learned to summon fire and water with a mere flick of my fingers. His understanding of magical theory was profound, and he explained the intricacies of magical runes and sigils with a clarity that made the ancient texts come alive.With the silvery light of the moon, I stood in the heart of the ancient grove, my son's eyes reflecting the same constella
Under the silvery moonlight, amidst the ancient trees that whispered tales of centuries past, I found myself lost in contemplation. The night air was thick with the scent of wildflowers and damp earth, and the soft rustle of leaves accompanied the beating of my heart. The gaze of my son, my beloved, reflected my own doubts and fears."I understand you must go, Mother," my son murmured, his voice gentle, lingering in the forest's embrace. "But why must you face this peril alone? Why must I allow you to tread this dangerous path without aid?"The voice within my heart deepened the resonance of the night. "My child, there are responsibilities I must fulfill. And there is a strength within me that I have learned from you. It is a power not just from spells and sorcery, but also from the love that flows between us. I believe in your courage, my son. And I know, no distance can sever the bond of our souls."My son stepped closer, his eyes filled with unwavering love p
[Seraphine's POV]"Arrrrggghhhh!" My scream ripped through the tranquility of the night, a visceral outpouring of pain that seemed to reverberate through every fiber of my being. It was a scream born not just of physical torment but of a deeper, soul-wrenching agony that clawed at the very essence of who I was.The pain was like a relentless tide, crashing against the shores of my consciousness, each wave carrying with it a new onslaught of suffering. It felt as though my skull was being crushed in a vice, the pressure building to an unbearable crescendo. My thoughts, once coherent and clear, were now fragmented, shattered into a million pieces by the merciless assault on my mind.With each surge of agony, I fought to hold on to my sense of self, my memories of love and happiness. But the pain was unrelenting, a malevolent force that threatened to obliterate every trace of joy within me. My body convulsed with the intensity of the suffering, and tears mingled wi
**[Seraphine's POV]**Yet, within the depths of my suffering, a blaze of determination ignited. I clung to the love I held for Cassian, using it as a beacon amidst the darkness.

[Seraphine's POV]A surge of raw power surged within me as I drew upon the magic I had stolen from my son.Electricity crackled in the air, my fingertips tingling with the energy of the storm. With a fierce determination, I channeled the stolen lightning into a concentrated bolt, aiming it directly at the sorceress who had dared to attack me.The first strike was blinding, a brilliant arc of blue-white lightning that seared through the night. It struck the sorceress, illuminating her features in a brief, stark outline. In that moment, I saw a flicker of surprise in her eyes, quickly replaced by determination.
