Autumn 1500
It was a hot breezy night in July, the end of the fifteenth century when the sound of a crying baby could be heard down the cobbled streets of Villamorte the southern part of Royaume, as a young woman opened the door to the chaumière she saw a glimpse of a shadowy figure scurry away. Then she looked down on the doorstep and there she saw a baby girl in a cot crying her eyes out.
"Christophe, come here at once mon chéri!" she called to her husband speaking in the French tongue. "What is it Marie ma femme chérie?" her husband called as he slowly walked beside her. "See for yourself mon chéri! She pointed to the baby on their doorstep; as she flung her beautiful blonde wavy hair to the side her husband observed the baby with great significance.
"Come we had better bring her inside until we know what's to be done with her!" Christophe said with concern. So they brought her into their cosy little chaumière and placed the cot on the oak polish table where they normally ate. They examined the baby girl with great interest; Marie smiled "mon chéri, look at her she's so belle and look she's stopped crying maybe we were meant to find her!" Christophe laughed "We didn't find her she found us!" They both smiled as they embraced their new family.
They couldn't have children of their own so when Marie saw the baby on their doorstep she thought this was her little miracle. Her husband only just stood over the sweet baby girl mesmerized by her, when he noticed that she had gleaming purple eyes which made him stop in his tracks as it was abnormal in Oakencrest to have eyes of a different shade though Oakencrest was a kingdom of mysticism and magic.
"Oh mon Dieu, she has purple eyes!" Marie ignored her husband "So what, these are strange times we live in so why not live with them!" Her husband tried to wrap his mind around all of this, when suddenly there was a white flash and their appeared a beautiful Queen dressed in white she had long silver hair and wore a crown of diamonds and in her right hand she held a clear quartz crystal wand.
Marie screamed and Christophe took out his hunting knife stashed in his left boot for protection. The Queen waved her wand "Refrigeo Advorsaria" Christophe's knife threw out his hand and buried itself in the kitchen wall. The Queen smiled "That's better, now are we going to conduct ourselves or shall I eradicate you where you stand!" Christophe grumbled to himself, "What do you want?"
"The child you found will grow into a magnificent mage when she is older you will bring her to me, she has a great prophecy about her if she is the one I think!" They looked at her as if she was insane. "She isn't a mage she is just a normal girl." Marie corrected her.
The White Queen laughed it off "She is now, but when she is old enough she will demonstrate magic abilities that neither of you can comprehend, so when that day comes you must send for me just summon me by speaking to any mirror and saying The White Queen and I be there." Christophe wanted to hit her but he knew what would happen if he did so he just asked her. "What if we don't want to give her away to the likes of you?" He scowled.
She laughed but it came out so cold and wicked, it petrified them both, "Then there will be dire consequences for the both of you." Marie got a bit unsteady in the knees "Is that a threat?" she asked "Ha-ha no it's a promise and you better well keep that in mind!" She smiled and she was gone in a blink of an eye before they could get a chance to ask her more.
They both just stood there in disbelief until Christophe broke the silence. "Who the hell was that eccentric woman." As if she was off her broom stick and didn't believe a word that came out her mouth. "I think she is the White Radiant Queen. Who founded Wizitch centuries ago." "Come again the what?" He scratched his head in confusion "Wizitch!" His wife replied, "I've read about it in mythology books, but it was supposed to be a myth, but looks like it could be true." He couldn't get his head around it so he just nodded in response to his wife.
