prologue

"Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me;

The carriage held but ourselves

And immortality."

-Emily Dickinson

"Avada Kedavra"

With those two short words, the young girl's life full of lies was ripped away.

No, they were not directed at her. Rather, at all she had ever known.

Or at least thought she did.

This was not to happen, but with the dabbling of forces better left alone, nothing would be as it should've.

Had this one, small fault not happened, all would go as planned; the powerful man would perish at the hands of a regular boy, as that was what the fates had arranged.

However, it did happen, and along with it, everything changed.

The girl didn't know just what had been messed with just for her.

She didn't know that each action not only changed her future, but the future of billions.

That she would be the one to change the future of billions.

She had been told she was special, powerful, but even she did not yet know all that she would do.

Nobody did.

But all would come to witness her and the wrath she brought to this world.
