On July 5, 1980, a beautiful girl with red hair and green eyes had just been born. Her family, the Benewalds, was one of the richest and most important in the magical world. They were pure-bloods, more so than others, with a lineage that dated back to the times of the druids, when magic was wild and untamed. They owned manors, magical creatures, and an ancestral power that few dared to challenge. But not everything is perfect in powerful families, and the shadow of war loomed over the magical world.
A lightning bolt lit up the sky, and a hooded wizard entered Benewald Manor. It was Lord Voldemort, the most feared dark wizard in history, and he had come to sow death and terror. The years passed, and Deila grew up beautiful, intelligent, and with a temper as fierce as her red hair. She discovered she was a Metamorphmagus, able to change the color of her hair and eyes according to her emotions. She also discovered she could speak to snakes, a dark and dangerous gift that linked her to Salazar Slytherin. But she never knew why she bore a moon and a sun etched on her neck, nor why she sometimes dreamed of a manor in flames and a serpent's voice whispering in her ear.
When she turned eleven, like all magical children, she received her letter from Hogwarts. Excitement overwhelmed her. After years of watching Adriel and Lesath leave for the school of magic, it was finally her turn. But that letter was only the beginning of a journey far deeper and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
