"Fages. You have any updates for me on the burning of land matter?" Ross asked first thing that morning when he saw his most trusted guard walk in through the doors again.

"I do, your majesty" he bowed his head, and then looked up "We spread around in teams like you said, and it seems that everyone has seen the same thing. The amout of burnt land is not too big but still something to take into consideration. The people living in the places where there's burned patches say there was most definitely not a fire spread. No one seems to have seen anything. The fairies have started working on curing all the affected areas"

"What do you think was the cause of this?" Ross asked, utterly confused "How could there be burnt ground without fire?"

"We think it doesn't have to do with the human way of things sir. We think it may be some type of magic, and it's all coming from one source" the guard explained, and Ross furrowed his eyebrows, looking away.

How could this be? What kind of force was causing this?

"Alright" Ross murmured, scratching his chin "Is there new cases as of today?"

"Thankfully not yet sir. We'll keep you updated in the matter if you wish"

"I'd like that" Ross nodded "Thank you. You're excused"

"Just doing my job" Fages bowed one more time before leaving.

"You have any ideas as to what this could be mother?" Ross then turned to his mother, and Aden sighted, looking up from the knitting work she was doing.

"There's a lot of magic out there son. Good magic, bad magic. All sorts of magic. This could be anything" she explained.

"I guess" Ross murmured "What would encourage them to attack now though? Madelvia has always been a calm place"

"Not always" his mother murmured "I told you about the invasion of dark magic years ago didn't I? Back when I was your age?"

"You have" Ross nodded "But what was the source of it?"

"Witches. Dark witches" Aden cussed "There was a whole coven. Twenty powerful witches and warlocks, and it took us five years to fully kill and get rid of each of them, but they dissapeared years ago, so I doubt a witch would be the cause"

"You said there's bad magic right?" Ross questioned "What differences a dark witch from a bad witch?"

"A bad witch is a witch that uses her power to do bad, however there's a limit. She can't mess with life itself, nature, or any other major things. Her bad magic only makes her a bad person and she can use it to attack someone, but it can't cause too much damage, while a dark witch.... well there's a lot they're capable of'

"You and dad" Ross gulped a little "You know before his death- did you fight?"

"Of course" his mother sadly smiled at the reminder of her husband "We were king and queen. We protected our country"

When Aden noticed her son's conflicted stare, she smiled at him "Get your mind off of this now! It's all we've been talking about all morning. Go continue with your day alright? Don't forget you have training at seven in the evening today"

"How can I go and train my magic powers like ever day, pretending nothing's happening if there's something I should worry about?" Ross knitted his eyebrows together.

"You worry too much. It was just a couple of burnt patches. I'm sure I'll be fine, and if not, training will help-"

"-Get my moon powers in control I know I know" Ross rolled his eyes.
