"Aura, aura! Come, it is time for dinner.", says Nigma, Aura's sister.
"What is for dinner tonight?", asks Aura.
"Eel with garlic salt, your favorite!"
Aura enters the house she has been calling home ever since she first realized she was an individual. Her parents welcome her at the table for an average meal. Her father, mister Elysium, is at the head of the table.
"So what did you learn at school today, darling?"
"Today we were dissecting baby owls."
"Fascinating! Did you learn much from it?"
"The whole thing seemed a bit... eew..."
"Well, not all kinds of knowledge are pleasant to acquire."
"Do you think they will teach me some crazy spell anytime soon?"
"Well, most magic is either fire, ice or some sort of incantation. They taught you the basics right?"
"Yes."
"Then it is just a matter of practicing."
Aura eats her food and leaves the room. Aura's mother, a witch whose age we don't know but don't look a day older than thirty five uses a spell to do the dishes, the animated plates and cutlery washing themselves to the tune of her expert magic.
Heading back outside, Aura continues her magical practice.
"Ignis!", she says, as she creates a small flame.
"Wow, that's actually nice Aura. Now see if you can make it bigger."
"Crescere!"
"Well, I think it didn't work."
"I'm smelling smoke."
"It isn't from me. Look, there is a house on fire!"
You two go running towards the street and then you see a group of witches in dark robes casting spells on every which direction.
"Who are those people?"
"Run, Aura, run!"
The black clad witches see your sister Nigma and cast a spell on her, freezing her on the spot.
"Nigma! Nigma!"
As the ice is spreading from the point where she was hit by the spell encompassing her whole body, she still has time to say some last words.
"Flee... now..."
Aura starts running away. A bunch of spells hit all around her. In her escape, she can see some people from the village battling the incoming witches.
Aura then trips and fall, knocking her head on a stone and losing consciousness.
