Thread: The curse that corrupts all [HimekoxTinyThings]

When she saw Ahmelien she noticed the woman was smiling, happily at her as she listened to the woman reply. Trust me, I know how it feels, it might not have been in a pack, but the way my family treated me, it sounds like we have had similar experiences in life. She replied softly. My family did not love nor care for me, all I ever was to them was a giant failure that they easily gave up on. They thought that if they forced me to marry someone in the outer ring of the family that they'd be rid of me in a more 'proper' way. She stated as she reached over and gently laid her hand on Ahmelien's shoulder. And as for the Witch's blood, are you saying it's been passed down to me? She asked rather confused. And bound to me, please explain. This is all so new to me... All I've done was study from the ancient books of the Witch's that I found while rummaging through their old ruins, I managed to find a total of thirty books that was still intact. But sadly all the others had been destroyed. She said as she shifted from side to side. If you don't mind, I can explain a bit to you. She started as she took a seat where Ahmelien had once been sitting. A few years ago, more like ten to be more precise, I was able to go off on my own and explore. After hearing about the Witches that my family had fought and supposedly they had killed them all off. Which, clearly they hadn't since you're a descendant. But still, something called me there and yet it felt right. Once I found the books there, I knew what I had to do, so I defied my family and took the books for myself. During my travels later that year I found a warlock who was more than willing to teach me the dark magic that was contained in the books. Granted he had no knowledge on the magic that was in the books until I had presented them to her and thus she began teaching me from the books. Even though I had failed many times, she still kept teaching me, not once giving up on me like my family had done so. She paused for a moment before starting back up. All this time I've been training with her, with Gerla. The warlock who had taken me in was like a mother to me, more than the one who gave birth to me at least. She even taught me how to summon minor demons to practice my magic on and let me tell you... The moment I started learning the dark magic, I knew I had finally found my calling in life. But yet that wasn't enough... Still there was something missing and when I tried to confront my parents about this 'link' I was feeling to somewhere out there, and yet they lied to me and told me that it was simply all in my head. But when I found out from overhearing them... Found out the truth behind everything that they had kept hidden from me... I knew I had to leave, knew I had to get away from there as fast as I could. And so, I packed what I needed, the books of course and whatever else I needed. I could feel the connection growing stronger the moment I entered the woods and after awhile, you showed up and saved my life. If it hadn't been for you, I would be dead right now and I would have never gotten to meet my older twin. She said as she looked up at Ahmelien and smiled softly. It felt good for her to open up to someone and she had two people she could be open with, and hopefully more in the future. But this darkness that has been growing inside of me... I cannot help it and the lust for revenge is strong... I want to make the family that took everything from me, the ones who left my own twin to die out here and for me to suffer... To all pay... I have been containing this within me for so long that after what happened earlier before I left that palace... Grr... I just... She sighed as she stopped her train of thought. She could feel the fel magic burning deep inside of her and was doing her best to maintain it. Seeing that Ahmelien was still bowing before her worried her as she shook her head softly and gently reached over with her hand to bring her head up to look at her face to face. You do not have to bow before me, but instead maybe... She paused for a moment before finding the right words again. Maybe we can be like family? I know you and Grim are very close and I've never known what family was before meeting Grim. And I've seen that this pack, that you, all mean so much to her. I know I don't fit in at all here, but maybe... Someday I can be seen as family to everyone here? Maybe I can have something I've never had before... It would be... Nice... She finished as she now allowed Ahmelien to speak, seeing as she had spent most of the time there rambling. Granted it felt good to get things off of her chest.
