A Cursed Heart

Prolouge

The story about my mother has never been clear, even though I saw her die. Sometime the crew say she was a farm girl abducted and fell in love along the way, some say she was another pirate and others say she was a queen.

You see I loved my mother. And she loved me back, until I was four. Then one day a man came along and wanted her back, he had magic and tried to kill my father. The my mother came out and he just flung her across the room. And me, well my mom told me to stay in a corner, and being the bad girl I am I listened to her for three minutes, and then went out, just in time to see my mother and father in a pile and the man about to kill them, but I got there just in time.

See I was one of the few people born with magic, it wasn't something I developed, so I saw him raising a knife (he wanted to kill them by hand), and I pulled it back with my magic. Because when you are born with magic, you are one of the, or will be one of the greatest magicians. And the man only developed his magic only a few years back, even though he is the most powerful wizard in all the realms.

He realized that I was very powerful, way, way beyond my age, so he started heading toward me. I saw he was coming, so I set up a barrier to protect myself. It took him awhile but eventually he got through it and I started to panic. There was no way of stoping him, except one. It took most of my energy and I usually faint afterward, but no one has ever gotten out of it.

I transported myself somewhere away and got ready. I put my mind to one thing, making the barricade. It is a wall put up by blood magic, and it is a box, so in order to get out of it, you need to be blood related and have magic to get out of it. So I cast the spell and almost fainted, but I stayed strong (I don't get much "goo-goo" reactions from my parents) I knew I was on my own on this so I stayed strong and hoped he wasn't related to me someway.

He got out of it but it gave me just enough time to get away. I ran to a wall, and tripped. I fell and he caught up to me. He lifted me up by the throat and with the other hand ripped out my heart. I was still alive but very weak. He cursed my heart in order to drain my power, so as long as I have magic I will live. The curse was this, if someone takes out my heart, I will die in a small amount of minuets. He then realized that I could not be controlled so he made a gold necklace for me right there from a near by spinning wheel. It was a fine chain and a two charms, one silver and the other pink.

He let me go, then ripped out my mother's heart and turned to dust.

I was too weak. I watched her die and couldn't do anything about it. Then my dad tried to kill him, and they have had a grudge against each other ever since.

I saw that my father was miserable, so I cast a curse over myself. I do not remember my mother, at all. I sometimes ask dad about her and he just shakes his head and turns away. I was only cursed until something jolted my memory. My father saw how hard it was for me, so he said nothing on that subject. Well that was never clear, until I met my brother, but that's a whole other story...
