I sit outside in the morning light that cascaded through the trees that radiated such warmth and light over my own
body while the intoxicating sweet scent of jasmine and roses
wafted around the cool breeze of the morning around me seductively.
Trees swayed softly against the cool breeze that caressed my cheeks
like angel wings while splashes of water soared above the clear, blue sky.
Birds chirp and sing in a morning symphony.
The scenery around me is beautifully still and silent with only my presence lingering there.
Ever since my own powers had awaken from a deep, deep
slumber, I could feel them growing inside of me every second, making
me feel almost so powerful I could see my own purple crackling
energy of power radiating from me like a halo.
I never knew until this day that I was destined to become something so much important.
Even with my powers growing day by day, I could always
sense that something terrible and ominous is coming our way.
That sense of foreboding grows within me day by day as the rumors about
the Night Wars and the Slave Trade continue to swirl around me and in the village as well.
Every member of the Day Ones here are almost always talking about it.
And they’re all preparing themselves in case if the Night Ones do intrude on
our village, with the intent to destroy everything that symbolizes Goodness.
All the Day Ones here including myself sense that something big is heading our way.
And it is. The Night Wars are just a few months away, with the End of the Millennium almost near us.
When I think about it, I feel completely frightened but right now I don’t feel so afraid anymore.
I don’t feel so helpless. I feel incredibly powerful, strong.
My powers are getting much more stronger than the other
Day Ones realize and I knew instinctively I was going to
become a very powerful witch just like my mother and my
grandmother who had kept this secret from me my entire life.
The thing that keeps haunting me to this day is the mystery surrounding my mother’s murder.
I’m so terrified that one day I’m gonna be discovering the real truth about what had caused her murder.
I feel so frightened when I think about that but it bothers
me more that I don’t know the real truth behind my mother’s death.
A terrible sense of foreboding tells me that what’s been
going around here may have something to do with my mother’s death.
But I keep denying it because I’m still so scared about discovering the actual truth.
It makes me feel like I don’t want to know about it either way, and it
terrifies me to the bone where I cannot even think about it the way I used to.
Just thinking about the secret that hides within my mother’s
mysterious death makes me feel completely helpless.
And I hate feeling helpless. That’s not who I am.
Instinct tells me that there’s something very terrifying that lies ahead of
us that I should be prepared for because it might change my entire life forever.
I have a bad feeling that maybe one of us will not make it back alive….
The Night One we had captured earlier told us that the Night Ones and
their Leader are planning to attack our village sometime in the upcoming days or nights.
I knew then that they were gonna try to find me because the girl herself
told us that the Night Ones already knew that my powers have been awaken from a deep slumber.
Now because of my awakening powers, they’re gonna try to hurt me so they can bring me over to their side.
The thought of it is totally absurd, it brings a sick taste to my mouth just thinking about that horrible thought.
I cannot even imagine myself doing something so absurd and horrible like that.
I was destined to be a force of Good. To help my fellow Day Ones fight them in the upcoming nights.
I’m a fighter and a warrior just like Rowan and everyone else.
I will never even think about going over to Evil.
Never.
As long as I’m here, I will help my fellow warriors fight the
Night Ones until my last breath escapes from my lips.
I’m really uncertain about what’s going to happen now. But the
bad feeling in my stomach just keeps on growing and growing.
Something in me just keeps telling me in my mind that I need to
anticipate the treacherous horror that will sure to come within the next days or nights or so.
But I don’t want to anticipate or be prepared for it.
The only thing I want to do is to hide under my covers and sleep till the morning light rises.
Because the other bad feeling in the pit of my stomach tells me that during
the battle or after, I will discover a horrible secret that can change the course of my destiny.
What that secret is I still yet do not know.
And I don’t even want to know about it because it frightens
me to think about what other secret is still being kept from me.
And that secret that is still yet to be discovered haunts my mind almost every day.
And it doesn’t escape.
It just lingers in my mind, waiting and waiting for it to be revealed.
To change the course of things.
The other bad feeling in my stomach that intermixes with the fear and the
terror that etches tightly in my stomach is the realization
that I may lose a fellow member whom I am close to.
The thought of losing someone that has become as close to me like real family is too unbearable.
Everything that has happened or will happen is suddenly
too unbearable that I can’t even think straight anymore.
The other thing I can do now is to anticipate and try to be ready for
any sacrifices that I, or my fellow Day Ones, might have to make in the next few nights or days.
Including the ultimate sacrifice.
Losing my life or losing the true love of my young life. My Soulmate….
