Whispers of Magic

Chapter Three

We had been walking for about 10 minutes or so when we arrived at my house I give Hades a hug and say thank you for walking me home when he reaches out and grabs my hand and says “I’m really happy that you're my soulmate” I smile at his words and grip his hand tighter and say “I'm glad that you are mine too” we both smile at each other and give one last hand squeeze before i’m back in my house. Walking on the stairs felt longer than it usually would. Perhaps it was the fact that no one was home on the day of my birth but I assume there really is not for them to celebrate about the day I was born. Reaching my room I leaned against the door exhausted emotionally and physically by the things that have occurred today. Opening my room door I see Hermes lounging on the bed and a Bright red box and dark black box and Another box the same mixture of the two next to them laying next to him. I set my backpack down on the floor and approached the boxes. I decided to open the red box first and inside I found a note that said: I know that you do not yet but I know you for I am your father. I know this is shocking and you may not believe me but know I am telling the truth. I sent you to the Bates family in order to hide you from my enemy’s. I have sent you this because you have come of age and I have wanted to see my daughter but alas my enemy’s are watching me thus I can only send this letter. My daughter, my sweet little Amarah. I love you and you are making me very proud. Your powers will continue you to grow my little witchling but do not fear for your destiny is great and your powers are your own to control no one else's. Amarah I give you this gift for the day of your birth. This snake's name is Jormungandr and I hope that he will protect in the times to come. I love you, my daughter. Your father.  To say I was surprised would be a mild understatement. I was so surprised I lost control of my magic. Everything candle and light in my room was lit up. I decided that first I need to calm down first and get my magic under control. So I took deep breaths and thought of Hades and finely I was calm. I was still shocked but I thought logically about it and it made sense why my family was so cruel to me and their own daughter. It simply made the most sense. And suddenly I was happy about the fact I had someone other than my soulmate that was by my side a father. A father who still loved me out there and I would be able to see him again someday. I was happy and that was okay. 

I opened the box and saw a snake sitting in the box looking up at me. I slowly reached inside and picked him up. He immediately wrapped around my arm, almost transforming into a bracelet. I immediately felt safer with him around my arm. When I opened the red box I saw a beautiful necklace with a stone the color of a pale blue white color. Before I laid my hands on the stone I saw a letter laying in the box and I picked it up and read: My dear child born of the moon and the serpent you are loved. As your mother I can not wait until you have come of age and me and your father can see you again. We are only sent you to that family to protect but soon you will be strong enough to come and join us and we shall see you again in time. I love you and I hope this moonstone will provide you with enough strength to see the dangers that may come in the future. I love you, my daughter. Your Mother.  I smiled because of the presents and letters from my parents . I couldn't have been happier. I picked up the necklace and immediately felt a strong connection to it. I somehow knew that once I put this necklace on I would forever be connected to it. I finally picked up the last box and found a book that was tightly bound together with magical chains and it had what looked to be a mirror on the front with a sleeping face. When I picked up the book I saw a letter underneath it. I opened the letter and read: Amarah I know that it has not been long since I have met you but I feel as though I have known you forever. I know you feel pain from your family and I know you want to know about the witches so I have found a book in my fathers collection and I believe that you will love to hear their history which is so deeply intertwined in your life. I look forward to our life together my witchling. Yours Hades.  I smiled so happy to have received something for my birthday from anyone. I smiled and gently gathered up the letters and gently hid them away in my journal to be kept safe. I went to my bed and called my grimoire out and when she came out I asked her to go to a spell that may break the chains. My grimoire turned to a titled Ruptor vinculorum which means breaker of bounds this is possibly the strongest spell there is to open anything that has been bound in magic. When reading the spell I realized I would need to get a couple things in order to perform the spell. This spell needed to be performed at three the witching hour and I needed to be out in the words surrounded by nature and I needed the bright moon to shine upon the chains that covered the book.
