Witch King Beautiful Creatures Series: Elder Coven I

Frozen Kingdom

My kingdom was attacked many times, I single handed was able to keep the enemies at bay. I was doing this to protect my kingdom and our people but I was loosing them too. It started with the separation of allies, one by one wanting to break ties with me. 

The first one to go was Creator Kingdom, the kingdom where my sister and her husband ruled after the fight in the coronation we broke ties. Soon after Villa Kingdom broke ties too, my mothers old kingdom, I later heard that the king of Ram Castle my sisters husband had put that kingdom under its protection.

What really destroyed my kingdom was the trading, we were lucky enough to have the ocean south of us and the forest north. We had food for everyone we didn't need the trading of supplies with other kingdoms but people just began to leave. Soon the villages became empty and so did the castle, the knights left with there family.

I remember the day I stood on the highest tower of my castle I was alone, the village abandoned, the castle just an empty building of stone, quiet. Soon after the attacks began, there was nothing for anyone to claim but enemies kept coming. They were fearful of the castle and the witch inside, I didn't know it but further north across the Red Sand Desert wars were being fought against witches. I was not the only powerful witch in the world, there were others, some who claimed kingdoms, held power over enchanted armies and some powerful enough to spread plagues that wiped out humans by the hundreds.

But I did not seek this, I just wanted to be left alone, I cast a spell over my castle I made the forest grow thicker and stronger. A dark cloud grew over the land and snow and winds came down covering the land in a veil of white, the ocean south of the castle frozen.

Using magic even if you have witch blood takes a tole on your body but using black magic is worst. I remember my mother who always use magic for good, she died young but she always looked beautiful. I don't remember seeing a wrinkle or her hands changing in any way, but she only use her magic to help others. 

But for me things were different, years of me using black magic has aged I have forgotten how old I am exactly but if I don't use my glamour spell my body is ancient. Witches who are born with witch blood age slower, but using certain type of magic can weaken our bodies. I am missing teeth my hair is white as snow, my fingertips are stained black, my vision has gotten blurry but it has actually heightened my sixth sense which is very helpful. I began using glamour spells. If you see me I look about 22 years young. It doesn't really matter though because I am alone, the kingdom my father created is gone. I was a king of an empty kingdom not even my enemies cared to attack, everyone just left me alone. 

I wasn't to happy to be alone but after a while I didn't care I taught myself to hunt, to grow food, with magic of course. I couldn't cook the way the cooks could in the castle but I was able to feed myself.

I spent most of my time reading books, that was the only thing I had in this castle and learning magic, I have become a full on witch. It took me almost my whole life but I was finally the witch I always wanted to be. I referred myself as an Elder Witch, after years of studying I had also began writing my own stories and theories. Up to this point I haven't found another witch as strong as I but then again I haven't really left my castle so I couldn't really be sure. But when I do decide to leave I have successfully made a manual on how to identify a witch.

There are a couple levels to identify a witch, the one in the very top is Lilith, she is mother witch to all witches she is the first witch that ever came into existence and from what I have read it seems that it's because of her we, meaning witches, exist. I'm not too sure yet but everything points to Her creating us or at least our witch blood.

After Her, comes Elder Witches, Elder Witches are witches that have mastered all four elements; earth, air, fire and water. Elder Witches can also cast spells, curses and use their magic freely without always having to actually prepare a spell, we can enchant objects and store our magic.  We can also change our appearance, use telekinesis, we are telepaths and we can influence people's mind to see and think what we want and we can fly. Most Elder Witches also have familiars, animals that have a magical connection with a witch. We can also use the mirror as a conduit, not all mirrors have this power it has to be a mirror a witch has infused her magic with.
