《Rejected Mate》Chapter 8: Jacqueline
Advertisement
She didn't say anything back to me. So I knew my answer.
"Why run away from a family that understands you. "
"The thing is I was different from everybody. when I was born I was an outcast to everyone. so as growing up, I was treated differently I had to learn on my own even though there was one person that taught me their ways. The coven leader forbids anyone to teach me anything. So one of the elders of the coven went against them and taught me everything there is to know. But days went to weeks and weeks went to years I couldn't take the torment anymore. "
"No, you're not there anymore and you don't have them. you have me and serephina. you also have Corvina."
She smiled and hugged me
"No one has ever cared about me so much as you have. Why. Why me. What makes me so different from everyone else in this town."
"You really want to know ill tell you. You didn't care if I answered your questions back or not. You were friendly. You gave me a home when I needed one and a job. And I'm grateful for it all. That's what makes you different. Your kindness to others." again she smiled and hugged me and I saw tears come from her eyes
"Now we're gonna have to talk about you."
"What do you mean? We just got done talking about me."
"Not that. I'm talking about your necklace. Do you realize who that necklace belongs too?"
"It belonged to my mother but she's dead. My father gave it to me on my 12th birthday. I've been wearing it since. "
"And you haven't taken it off have you. "
"No why. "
"The same exact answer I'm going to give you. You're a witch."

I didn't know what to say all I could do was stare at her. But I had to say something.
"Wait you're saying I'm a, I'm a witch." she just nodded
"What does this necklace do?"
"It holds your power until you are ready."
"Ready for what."
"To let your powers out. To be free. to be who you really are."
"Yeah, and how does that work do I just take the necklace off or something." I was frustrated she told me something nobody thought they would ever hear but I heard this piece of information and I don't know how hot react
"Yeah actually no. There's a ritual that you have to do. And if it all goes well then there's no problem getting your powers." I was confused as hell. if I am a which, why do I have to do a ritual to open my powers? in some way ill just see what happen.
"When will this happen?"
"When you stable. Since your weak, you can't do the ritual. It'll just make you even weaker."
"Then how long would you say."
"Give me three days. The first day for ingredients and gathering materials, the second day is to find a ritual spot, the third day makes sure your healthy and cleansed and ready for the next day."
"You sure have everything down don't you? "
"I knew you were a witch. I just needed you to tell me your story on how you got those scars, but I did know that you didn't know that you were one."
"Why didn't you say anything? probably if I would've told you about this along long time ago but I don't know maybe in my head I was thinking that you wouldn't have believed me. want to know something els. a year after giving me the gift. my father became a drunk. I don't know if it's because he gave me that necklace and it reminded him of her or he just doesn't want to deal with me anymore so he drowned himself in his Sorrows."

"Do you know that belongs to the most powerful witch on this earth? nobody has seen your mother or that necklace in over 100 years. "
"What are you talking about 100 years?"
"Your mother ran away because she fell in love. She's the most powerful of them all. she was supposed to be the next coven leader. I would have ran away to if I fell in love but I ran away because nobody wanted me there. The thing is when she ran away nobody heard from her, nobody saw her in those hundred years. And then one day some man came to the coven and told all the witches that your mother was dead. she passed away protecting you."
"why would she do that. why."
"Because your mother wasn't any ordinary witch. She was the next moon goddess. and you're the next heir to the throne, and I know you know that because when you told me your story you told me like you've known all your life. even though you read books and when you mention the moon goddess. You should have seen your eyes light up at the mention of her."
"what do you mean? "
"you know what I'm saying. She's your mother, the moon goddess. she came to you didn't she." It's like she just pushes me into a brick wall and that brick wall hurt.
"she came to me while I was in a coma. nobody knows that."
"I'm a witch she's a witch but she's the moon goddess. everybody knows that she will contact anybody especially a loved one. sooner or later she would've contacted you. But now it's time to open your powers and time for you to learn."
I cried and cried. how can this be no this is not supposed to happen to somebody? but this happens to me and I knew it when I woke up from the minute I woke up from a coma. my mother came while I was asleep and told me what I needed to know but there is so much I still need to learn. My mother is the moon goddess and I am her heir!
I was so happy. Yet so sad.
Happy to where I couldn't make a sentence anymore and I couldn't stop crying.
I was sad because my mother only told me so little. And then I moved to a place where there are people that understand me.
there are supernatural beings here and I'm prepared to come out.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
