Yve's POV"Come on now, Luna. We have been practicing archery for weeks! Father would be furious if he saw you not having any progress," I told Luna gently while my hands are on my hips. It has been years ever since we lived on the Northern Forest. But we cannot find peace because the people of Argania are still pursuing us. Me and my twin Luna had finally understood why were they after us. Our father, Levi made us understood our situation. And that is why here we are, practicing archery for our self defense. ''But it is really hard! My hands are still shaky. I think archery is not for me sister." Before I could even answer her back, our mother called us inside our small cottage shouting that it's time for dinner. We have no choice but to get inside or else she will be angry again.We've reached the age of seventeen and we cannot act like little girls anymore. Lady Molly who hasn't changed for the past few years also taught me different kinds of herbs and crystals that might be usefu
''Lucia, you know how much I loved you. I won't give up on you and that child you are carrying. As long as I am alive, you don't have to worry about anything else,'' Levi carefully said to his wife to be as they lie beneath the bright moon and the shining stars witnessing their endless love. The two of them had been together for years now and Lucia was able to conceive a child last March. It was already October fourth and her belly is starting to grew even bigger than it was before. Lucia decided to hug her beloved as she got the assurance that she wanted because she knows that Levi's family doesn't accept her for their only son as they know that her family was labeled as the poorest of the poor. Her father is a lumber and her mother is a maid in the household of Lord Lewis. Having this kind of family background, surely is very shameful to those families who have it better than people like her. She is very anxious when it comes to their relationship because she knows that Levi's fam
Deep in the woods of Argania, one lovely cottage is to be seen by some lucky travelers wandering the mysterious forest that they almost thought it consists of magical beings. But the truth is, one humble family lives here away from the people of the land. Flowers and vines almost succumb the property making it very mesmerising through naked eye. Each day, the cottage will be filled with blueberry pie scent inviting some of the gentle animals that is with them in the woods. It seems like the owners of this property likes baking stuff like this. ''Mother, it is done! Luna and I practiced baking for you to try,'' as the little girl said this, the so called mother immediately checked upon her daughter's pastry and she was delighted by just the smell of it. "You two really take after your mother's cooking. How nice is that?'' the woman said as she took a piece of the pie and savour it with her mouth. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she caressed both of her daughter's hair and
Molly's POV I was awaken by the sounds of a crow outside my wooden window inviting the cold breeze that is coming from the huge trees outside my cottage. The morning hasn't show itself yet but the skies are starting to emit the colour of the usual morning sky. I didn't got up early on my bed that is covered with wool fabric that kept me warm every cold evenings that passed me by. This day, I planned to gather some materials for my witchcraft that I have been practicing for many years. My bedchamber is almost filled with different crystals and dried herbs hanging on the stone walls creating a musty smell surrounding the air that I breathe inside this room. Before I decided to go out, I looked for my book of shadows and hid it under my bed to avoid Yve from finding it. I know that she usually come inside here because her smell and aura doesn't disperse even after how many hours have already passed. When I opened by bedroom's door, a dark hallway greeted me symbolising that the fami
When the soldiers are finally satisfied with the number of people they have accumulated, the man in the front started to read the message that was written on the scroll. "Greetings lovely people of Argania. I am here to announce that his highness King Natan is looking for help to cure the illness he had acquired a few days ago." Lady Molly whispered to herself some several questions. "The king is sick? was it connected to that old man sneaking on our home targeting one of the albino sister?" No one heard her voice whispering as the people that was with her listening to the soldiers are talking as well. "His sickness gets worse day by day, so if anyone would like to volunteer them selves to find the cure for the king will be rewarded handsomely," the soldier said loudly and sternly to make sure that the people heard him loud and clear. The crowd suddenly burst into a group of discussion gossiping about what just happened. The soldiers ordered the crowd to make way for they are goi
"Wake up girls, the sun is already high up in the sky" a voice that is coming from the door echoed through the room which was the cause of Yve being awake first than her sister. Before she could even open her eyes, their mother Lucia closed the door. Yve's whole consciousness is still asleep and is wanting to refuse to wake up any minute by now. But, she can't do anything but to obey her mother's order or else she'll get angry. Looking at the window just across her bed, the sun is indeed up in the sky already. Yve and Luna both overslept maybe because of exhaustion yesterday night cleaning their kitchen. Tidying up her bed, she decided to woke Luna too so that they can go downstairs together. "Luna, wake up you sleepy head. It is already late! Mother will get angry if you stay in bed longer," she patted her sister's shoulder to awake her sleeping soul. But with no luck, Luna kept her eyes closed snoring louder to annoy her twin. Seeing that Yve was being annoyed by her twin, she sm
Lady Molly finally returned and she saw the family having their bonding on the garden. They were surprised to see Lady Molly again because they were starting to worry about her after being gone for complete whole day. Lucia greeted the lady with a joy in her tone. She treated Molly like it was her own mother after many years of being together. "Lady Molly! You're finally back! We're starting to get worried about you," the twins said in unison like it was rehearsed by them but it's not. They ran towards the lady and hugged her tightly which made Molly happy deep inside her. She caressed the twin sister's cheeks and gave them the basket she's been carrying since yesterday instructing them to take it inside because she have something important to say to their parents. Both of them nodded their face before turning their backs to the lady. Once the kids had left, Molly approached the husband and wife with a solemn look on her face. "I was at the capital yesterday. The King is sick and
The past few days had been going smoothly for the family. Enjoying each other's company not worrying about anything that much. But, there's something that kept on occupying Luna's mind every night. She kept on having dreams that people are glorifying her existence like she was a God for them. She felt weirded out on the first day that she experienced that dream. But as it continue, she felt enjoyment deep inside her heart thinking the possibilities of it to happen any time from now. She knows to herself that she have a rare case that is different towards other people. So every time this dream visits her, she can't help but be excited for it to happen. Although it's been days since the first encounter of this dream, she doesn't have the plan to tell it to her family nor her closest sister Yve. She's scared that they might scold her about this thing or will just ask her to just pray every night before bedtime because they will count this as just a bad dream. Making her way down their
