Chapter 1

*

When a person thinks about the word magic and power, they often think of magicians, magical creatures like werewolves and Vampires, things they believe don't really exist.

And when people hear the word witch, they believe it has to do with something evil, manipulative and probably a scam.

But what if I were to tell you that these magical creatures lived amongst you and are in high positions of power.

And what if I told you that the true nature of a witch was to maintain peace and stability between man and nature, not to scam or control people.

My name is Avyanna, and this is my story and Dream.

*****************************************************

I was born in a land of witches who lived among men but we still had our own hierarchy and kingdom.

I was born a princess with my twin brother as next in line after my father, but he was never seen as an abomination as I was.

My Father, the ruler of witches and wizards in the land fell in love with a rejected wolf, my mother.

As the story goes, he found her in the forest after a cleansing ritual he performed every 6 months since he became king. These rituals are performed to renew the energy around us and have a better connection to the earth and the world beyond us.

Anyways, she was found lying on the cold ground dying because her mate rejected her and also inflected wounds on her, she said it was because of her status as a weak Omega.

Moving forward, my father took her in, treated her wounds and found a way to ease the broken bond pain.

Eventually, they fell in love and my father married my mother despite the disapproval of the witch council, but his words were final as ruler of the wizards in the land.

Not quite long after, my mother became pregnant and since she was a werewolf, pregnancy is different for them. For one thing, we don't come from flowers nor do we spend up to 7 months in our mothers.

It took a lot for her to give birth to both me and my brother, especially in an environment where not much is said or known about werewolves. And although I came out first, my brother was made the crowned prince because... Well, he's a boy.

From the moment our mother pushed us out of her, there has always been this bias between us. My brother you see, came out with green eyes, signifying power, prosperity, and leadership.

While I on the other hand was born with amber eyes which they knew nothing about and they didn't know what I was until I turned 5. One day while I was playing with the other kids in the kingdom's nursery I shifted into a wolf pup, and since then I was tagged as something evil, something that was never supposed to see the light of day, an abomination. A Hybrid.

I grew up with this stigma I called a curse because it made life a living hell for me, all through preschool till now. In school, the kids always had a nickname for me, wolf girl because that was all I could do shift.

And eventually, I lost that power to completely shift for reasons I knew nothing of, eventually I became the girl without magic just brute strength.

Unlike my brother whose magical powers shined brighter than the sun itself, he was the favourite child while I was cast aside as an old doll nobody wanted.

We both went to a special school for witches and wizards, so we could learn what kind of powers we had and how to control them.

In our land different witches had different affinities:

Some had the power of life, to create forests and trees from nothing and also healing powers from the herbs.

Some the power of light, they create light from nothing and have the ability to bend light to their will, including lighting.

Some of the power of the mind, these set have telekinetic power, most of these people also had water powers and could breathe underwater.

Some had the powers to speak to and control animals, most of them were shapeshifters.

Some, the power of foresight, they could see into the future and the past, and also had the power of teleportation. But this was the reaest of powers to have.

In some special cases, like being a royal, one could have multiple powers, like my father and brother. My father could control animals and also the power of light.

While my brother had the power of life and light, so he was seen as a source of light to the kingdom.

I on the other hand was yet to discover my power, even at age 17, the only power I had was that I could shift and that was only once, I was super strong, had a keen hearing and could mind link only my mother.

As awesome as my powers sounded, it was more of a curse than a blessing, imagine getting to hear every negative comment targeted toward you but because you were a royal, not many would say it to your face.

But even though I had no power, according to my Dad, I was just a late bloomer and I would still attend every magic lesson, and even the practical classes although I just stood there.

I only had a few people in my life, which were, my Mom, a bunny I rescued when I was 5, cleverly named bunny.

It wasn't like my brother didn't care about me, but he had a reputation he most desperately had to uphold, even at the expense of his own sister.

So far this has been my life, segregated, bland, biased and to be pointless. Sometimes I wish I wasn't even born so I could spare my parents the embarrassment of having a hybrid as a child.

Sometimes I wish something new could just show up and turn my world upside down, but I was always going to be the plain Jane entitled princess to everyone else.

But little did I know that my life was about to change for the better and all the suffering was leading up to the moment where I would shine the most.

At least that was what I told myself, I urge you to join me on my adventure as I get to explain and reveal secrets that are crucial for the survival of magic itself.

I mean, I'm not selfish but is it too much to ask for a little more to life?
