Twice Told

...-Mystery Man-...

Valex Fall's. I know the city. Once held the most Mystical Magickal people on the planet. I had powers, I had inherited them from both of my parents. That's another reason why I'm so much more different from them. I was the only one that still had my powers. They lost theirs at the age of 29.

But they only lost them because I had stolen them. I am a cipher. Born with no powers until the age of 11. Then every time I touch someone I copy their power, making me have a much more powerful version of it.

So say I'd my mom has the ability to sing, then I have the ability to sing in impressive ranges. If my father can talk to an animal, I can talk to every animal.

You get the gist. Anyway, the two that were in the car didn't have any power.  And I didn't feel how I would typically feel when I inherit a new energy.

Valex Fall's a place where fantasy comes true.  My family was one of the founding families of Valex Fall. We moved when my parents found out that,  I was a little bit crazy.

I haven't been back since. I am a witch, born several generations ago in the year 1920. That makes me 98 years old. However, I haven't aged at all since the night I placed my first curse.  The curse of the Dark Age. 

This curse comes from one of the most ancient goddesses who just so happens to be a distant ancient relative of mine. Many of you know her as Athena, my great great great aunt. She taught me to place a cure, a replacement spell, and how to fight. I get all of that from her.  

But I developed the ability to think for myself, to be able to untie myself, from anything. And to know when I am being played, or actually when I'm in danger.  This was a dangerous situation, I was in an abandoned city, with people I don't know, was kidnapped without my phone, and I was in a building, I didn't recognize. 

I knew the city though, I had been here before just in one of my Night terrors. The terrors had gotten worse to the point where I looked like I hadn't slept in over 2 months.  That and with all of the crying and the amount that I tried to cover up, I looked like a mess. 

I, however, did a spell before lunch that way I could look like I wasn't emo, had been sleeping, and wasn't crying on a daily basis.  So I looked normal right now, but the spell was wearing off, I could, feel it, all of my magic was disappearing, and quickly. I could only help that the gods and goddesses would keep me safe. I prayed that my phone was still on when there was light again.

I could see again, and the first thing I saw was the people who brought me here. My head was slammed to the side as I got hit in the head. ¨That's what you get for not knowing manners and looking like you do now. But then again I suppose that's my fault we brought you to a place where there is no magick where a barrier keeps all of the celestial and magickal things out. We brought you to .¨

I cut him off and finished his sentence ¨Valex Falls, you know that my magick doesn't disappear right, you brought me to a witch's playground, where every one of my family has died in every generation, therefore, making me the most powerful, most respected witch of all our kind. You basically just led yourself and your little ¨Friends¨ into a trap.¨ I called back. He couldn't see what was going to happen.

I could. I knew that when this was over only 1 of them would be alive, and the rest would all suffer the consequences for putting their hands on me. For hurting me physically. ¨ The spirits are mad, you know. They know what you did, and all but one will suffer¨ I chanted, awakening all of my family's spirits, I kept chanting until they were right there beside me.
