A generation of witches emerged in a world where two factions, the Druids and the Witches, held power over the Earth and its elements. Gifted with the ability to harness the powers of Light and Dark, they dedicated themselves to honoring the Goddess Mother and the natural world. They celebrated life, abundance, and the cycles of nature through festivals and rituals.
The Goddess Mother blessed two witches with extraordinary power, one with Light and the other with Dark, and bestowed upon them a book containing all the spells necessary to honor her. With this book, they could even cheat death itself. However, they were forbidden from using their powers for evil.
Meanwhile, the Druids delved into the dark side of nature, making pacts with gods of the afterlife who demanded blood sacrifices. The Elder Druid, consumed by envy, plotted to steal the witches' power. Spreading lies about their wickedness to mortals, the Druids convinced them that only witch burnings could lift the curse.
The Elder Druid's greed knew no bounds, and he sought the Goddess's book, whispering more falsehoods about the witches. Fear gripped the land, and countless innocent men and women were burned at the stake until the witch hunts finally ceased in the late 17th century.
The two High Strega, the last of their kind, devised a plan to protect their magic and revive the Witchline. The Goddess revealed a prophecy: when a daughter of Dark and a son of Light possessed the book, the Witchline would be restored. They separated, hiding their true power and passing the book from one High Strega to another across generations.
Until now...
MASSIVE REWRITE WARNING!!!
(Completed: 5/9/2024)
The Dark One is on the move. Never seen, but always there. No one knows their name. No one knows if they're even a person. Some say they have been here since the beginning of time. Others say they appeared over night. One thing is for certain: it must be stopped or all is lost.
'Only the power of a firstborn twin can stop the dark one forever.'
This prophecy has been told for centuries. Every child knows it even little Alyssa who has just turned twelve years old and is finally old enough to go to Raven's School of Magic. Her parents are happy for her, but also haunted and protective due to the loss of her twin.
For years Ally has been plagued with sudden pain that leaves her unable to move or even scream. Bruises and lashes form on her body and people spread rumors that this was the mysterious power of the twin bond. Is this the case? Is her twin really alive? And is he somewhere suffering at the hands of the dark one?
Ally is soon chosen to be entered the good side of magic school as many expected. However, on the same night, a boy from a well-known evil family is chosen to be in the good side as well. Many people believe that this child is chosen by the Dark One to destroy them all. What will Ally do? Will she befriend the boy or will she turn her back on him?
