Magix:The Witche's Necklace

Chapter 9: History and Destiny

After the scandalous incident at the corridor, the head master told the professors to tell the students that the class for the day has been canceled. The head master then motioned Jisoo's group to follow him at his office while he sent two other professors to bring Dino to the medical tower.

After 5 minutes the other professors arrived at the head masters office.
As soon as they met, they spoke at hushed tone that anyone from the group could not even get a single word from them. All except Woozi, for their hearing and sight ability cant be as sensitive and as clear as he is. He knew better though and decided not to speak unless spoken. For he have heard a shocking news from what the professors and the head master topic is.

At last, Hoshi couldn't take it no more, so he cleared his throat and got the attention of everyone.

"Sorry. I hope I'm not being rude headmaster, but what actually is the reason we're here?" He said.

The headmaster only gave a heavy sigh as he took his seat. Prof. Cestershire answered for him.

"We are all here because of you." She said, pointing at Jisoo.

"Me?" He asked, as he held tighter at Wonwoo's arm.
"But why?"

The head master then unfold an ancient looking scroll. "Read this child." He said.

Seeing the doubt at his face, Wonwoo gave Jisoo a encouraging nod. Jisoo walked to the headmaster's table and began to read the scroll.

'In the time shortly before the League, there we're those within the city-state of Regalia who did not agree with the evils perpetrated by the Regalian High Command. The High Command had just put down a law that states that all casters should have their cores bounded to prevent unprofessional casters to use high level arcane magic. This law was given by the self-proclaimed crown prince Gregori Raschallion, and a crack down on any sort of dissent against the new government was underway. This political and social outcasts known as the Cloak Order, sought to leave their neighbors in peace as they pursued dark arcane knowledge. The leaders of this outcast society were a married couple: Hastur ShadowCast the Grand Warlock, and his wife Mellina ShadowCast, the Great White Witch. Together they led an Exodus of magicians and other intelligentsia from Regalia, resetting their followers beyond the Great Valley to the northern reaches of the unforgiving VooDoo lands. Though survival is hard at times, the Cloak Order's colony managed to thrive in a land where so many others would have failed.'

After reading, Jisoo gave the headmaster a questioning look before asking, "what does this thing have to do with me?"
The headmaster let out another sigh before answering.

"Well you see, years after the Exodus, Hastur and Mellina had four children: Celestine, Syndra, and their twin brothers Joshua and Dino."

Everyone gasp at the head master's words.

"W-what?!?!" Jisoo asked, trembling at the sudden information.
"What are you talking about head master?" D.K asked.

"I-i guess I owe you the truth Jisoo." The headmaster said. Before he could go on, Prof. Azores-Medeira stopped him.

"But headmaster! If you tell him, he could be in danger! After all he's only a boy!"

The headmaster only gave her a stern look.

"Your correct. He is only a boy. But you can't deny that he is a boy with so much potential! He has the right to know the truth and I'm giving it to him. Besides, I don't have much choice, have I??"

The other professors only pursed their lips, knowing that they can't argue with the headmaster. They know that they don't have the right to hide the academies darkest secrets. After the statement, the headmaster returned his gaze at Jisoo. Then he started to explain.

"Many years have past since the great war with the witch queen. Before the war started, the ShadowCast family and their followers the defeated the High Command. Bringing peace to the land of Regalia. But their eldest daughter, Syndra betrayed them. Born with immense arcane potential, Syndra loves nothing more than exercising the incredible power at her command. With each day, her mastery of magical force grows more potent and devastating. Refusing any notion of balance and restraint, Syndra wants only to retain control of her power,.even if it means annihilating the authorities that seek to stop her.

Throughout her youth in Regalia, Syndra's reckless use of power terrified not only the lands elders but also her parents. They took her to a remote temple, under the care of an old but very wise mage. To Syndra's delight, the mage told her that the temple was a school---- a place where she could develop her gift under his guidance. Though she learned much in her time there, Syndra no longer felt her power growing as it had in her youth. Her frustration grew, and soon she confronted her mentor, demanding for an explanation.

The mentor revealed that he dampened Syndra's magic, hoping to help her learn about control and restraint. Accusing him of betrayal, she advanced at the mate, commanding him to lift the spell that was holding her back. He backed away, telling her that if she couldn't control herself, he would be forced to nullify Syndra's magic permanently. Furious, she summoned her power and dashed the old man at the walls. With her mentor dead, 24 year old Syndra felt the rush of her unbound potential for the first time in years. Though she had won her freedom, Syndra refused to return to the society that once tried to steal her gift. Instead, she offered help to the fallen High Command. When the Prince asked for her name, she answered, 'I am the witch queen'.

With a new name and her own army, she returned to her parents domain to claim herself as their ruler. Hastur was very furious when Syndra told him how she killed her mentor. Together with his wife, they summoned all the followers of the Cloak Order, creating their own army. Syndra suddenly disappeared when the battle started. She had another plan. To take away the real treasure of her parents, his twin brothers----- Joshua and Dino."

The headmaster paused for a moment then continued. He looked Jisoo with his hooded eyes.

"On the other hand, a healer gifted with the magic of the stars, your other sister Celestine, holds all living creatures close to her heart. This is what makes Syndra jealous of her. And so when she heard about the war between your parents and older sister, she quickly went to your chamber to look after you. Only to find Syndra sitting beside the bed where the you and your brother is sleeping. Celestine tried to reason out to Syndra but it only made the older sister more angry. She summoned seven Killians to kill Celestine.

Celestine realized that she would have to fight to save her brothers. The stars screamed in her mind, telling her not to use her power to harm.
