Camaraderie

The cheerful memory

In a certain land, there was a place named Heavenly for all the magical beings to live peacefully without being chased by humans. They have a legend about an object that whomever owns it, will become the most powerful sorceress or sorcerer and control the world just by his voice. Everyone said the object was a red stone containing magic, it stays on a small pedestal, and around the stone it was guarded by the guardians from thousands of years ago. Many witches and warlocks have ventured to find the magic stone, but many came back with several injuries or never came back again. Then the legend tells about the stone gradually falling into oblivion.

In year XXXX, in a small village near the sea, there was an 18-year-old witch who was wise, confident, and enthusiastic. Her name was Roseanne and she was known as a healing witch. Roseanne's parents were specializing in healing. She was to be loved by everyone in the village. Roseanne really loved her family. She had a younger brother, Eric, who was poisoned from his last mission in the Black Forest. Eric was the motivating force for Roseanne to become the best sorceress so she could cure him from Death's door. Roseanne's family had a conversation two days before she left.

"Father, Mother, I want to find the magic stone in the legend so I can save Eric!" Roseanne exclaimed with an imperturbable face and she sat down seriously to receive a sermon from her parents.

"No, you can't do it. It's really dangerous for you to take a risk like that!" her mother immediately responded to her. Her father sat beside her mother frowning and looking straight at Roseanne.

"Did you think carefully about making such a crazy decision? It's related to your life," her father replied with a cold voice.

"Please let me go to find the stone. I promise that I will come back home. I know that the two of you are worried about the journey, but Eric cannot live through this year. His illness has gotten worse! I need to do something. He is part of the family and I cannot just let him die without doing something." Roseanne said firmly. She wanted to find the way to save Eric's life.

"Okay, if we stop you from leaving, you will sneak out anyways." Her mother calmed down and glanced over to her dad to see his face.

Her dad nodded.

"Protect yourself and be careful with everything, Rosie," her mother said, sounding helpless.

Two days later, Roseanne packed all that she needed for the journey in a bag. Roseanne had luminous blue eyes filled with determination, her face filled with excitement. She wore a white shirt with a long black skirt, she had a witch's hat on her head, and outside she was covered by a long black robe. Roseanne often contacts with pharmaceutical materials so everyone can smell lightly the medicinal herbs around her.

She climbed up to the broomstick to fly up, "Hope that I can find the stone to save Eric." Roseanne whispered.

Roseanne started her journey on purpose to find an antidote for her younger brother who was at home waiting for her. The truly blue and cloudless sky spoke without words saying that their trip will definitely be successful. Her ponytail waved in the wind as she flew away.

On the land of the North, where it was snowy, never had a light all year around. Snow covered the whole area, everywhere surrounded by white color. At the end of the path to the village, there was a small old house. Theodore, an orphaned warlock, lived isolated from everyone, and was heating himself from the freezing cold by the fire magic. Theodore was a 18-year-old warlock, he had a sharp face with soft black hair, and beautiful sapphire eyes that resembled the night sky. His parents left him when he was 5 years old, after thirteen years until this day, he lived a life that was hated and shunned by all the witches in the village for being the unlucky person that killed his parents in an unfortunate riot of magic. Since then, he had to live alone in a cold house, no happiness, laughing, or warm dinner anymore; therefore, Theodore needed to grow up, take care of himself, and especially he had to learn magic by himself because no one volunteered to help, his parents died and had no mentor to learn. Luckily, Theodore was an intelligent and independent warlock, he could survive until he matured was the unbelievable thing. Nobody wanted to play or talk with him, they loathed and were frightened by him that he might kill them by his power. Theodore remembered when he was little hearing about the magic stone from his mother. Theodore wanted to find the stone that would be able to help him resurrect his parents and turn him into the most powerful warlock in the world.
