The Blackmore Girls

ChapterSeven - The Girls And Magie Ancienne

        “What the heck is Magie Ancienne and how do you know thatʻs what he wants Holly!?” Hyacinth growled as she was irritated that her sister is being used as a pawn in this Sabienʻs game. She wanted to rip his throat out

        Ro looked at Grant with a defeated look in her eyes. Grace and Constance saw it too. 

        “Girls, we were going to wait till you were a little older to talk to you about this, but that doesnʻt seem to be the case with the current circumstances,” Grant said as the girls all turned to look at him

        “We need you to put on your big girl panties because you are all embarking on a journey that up until just now, we prayed to the Goddess would be uneventful. Now with Sabien in the picture, it has just gotten dangerous” Ro said and the girls all sat quietly while they listened to their mom knowing how important this is. 

        “Geez, where the hell do I start with this one? Letʻs see….. well, you all are aware of Mamaʻs prophecy and what needed to be done to rid us of the filth and threat to our lives” Ro said as the girls nodded “well, Sabien was the dark sorcerer that wrote the prophecy” she said as she watched to make sure the girls were following

        “Okay, so he wrote the prophecy, but wouldnʻt that have been a good thing for you? Because it kinda foretold that you would kill them?” Yazzy asked

        “The prophecy brought nothing but greed, hate and murder. It made the Landryʻs hunt us down til no end, forcing our families underground. But Sabien's intention was that once King Jaxx rid our region of the Alpha Lunaʻs and supernaturals he would take over and rule as the supreme Dark Sorcerer. But he couldnʻt do that if Light Sorcerers still existed to combat him, which is why he had the prophecy written. But King Jaxx did not read the prophecy, and when he finally realized it, many supernaturals were already in hiding. He probably could have succeeded had he not killed Sabien. Iʻm sure together they would have found a way to claim all the lives they needed to rule. But Sabiens demise would also be the Landryʻs as well” Ro explained

        “Okay, so what is this Magie thingy that Holly spoke about and how does it connect to this Sabien person from your prophecy, Mama?” came the question from Yarrow

        “Well, Iʻll try to explain what I know from the information I got from the library. There may still be some missing pieces here and there but you will at least have some background. Maybe Quin-Cee can shed some light on it as well” Ro said as she began….

        There is a magic portal at Minnewanka Lake. It is the seat of where all magic comes from. Dark, light, black, white, fairy, elf, leprechaun, you name it, this is where it originated. Itʻs name….Magie Ancienne or French for Ancient Magic. 

        Legends say that once, magic was simply that, just magic in itʻs purest form. Supernaturals were given their magic and used it in ways of their abilities. But certain forces wanted it all for themselves, not wanting to share its power force. Others retaliated and it started a war that would tear the magic world apart. Heka, the God of light magic saw what was happening and sided with the dark forces. Upset that he would even consider taking sides instead of taking all of it away, Hecate the Goddess of dark magic decided to side with the light forces. Their internal conjuring would suck all supernaturals back into the portal where dark and light souls were succumbed by Heka and Hecate for the battle against good and evil. Many souls were lost and the world became dull without the lustre of magic. 

        Heka and Hecate grew tired and worn over the centuries of non-stop fighting that new souls were able to escape the portal and bring back the lustre of magic to the world. Heka and Hecate did not have the strength or energy to stop them and so allowed it. But to protect the portal from the greed of supernaturals, they both decided that they would hide the portal where it couldnʻt be accessed. New souls would come into the world in the same way that humans do, by giving birth. Only magicʻs memories from the souls that escaped the portal would be taught and passed down from generation to generation. Many spells and incantations were lost to time as the escaped souls were not of the ancient realm of magic. This was a good thing, as the ancient realms hold the most powerful secrets of magic. 

        Heka and Hecate decided to hide the portal at the bottom of a Lake. The entrance was at the deepest part of the lake and snaked deeper in the depths of the Earth, past itʻs outer crust and into itʻs center core where the ancient realm of magic exists. 

        The entrance is protected by Sirens that slept dormant for centuries waiting for unfortunate souls trying to gain access. Their job was to lure their victim with their song then kill on contact by sucking your soul dry while you are still alive. The outer crust was protected by Heka and Hecate.

        Unbeknownst to Heka and Hecate was that magic on earth was getting stronger and stronger with each passing generation and soon the Sirens would waken. 

        It was during this very time that a Dark Sorcerer used the 3 souls of each type of magic supernaturals for his plans. He needed to get into the portal and as he drained each soul, he used them as a diversion for the Sirens. His plan was to obtain the ancient magic and become not only the strongest sorcerer in Canada but the world. However, he underestimated the strength of Heka and Hecate. Just one alone was stronger than he was, but both together was a lost battle. As he was tossed back to earth, the Sirens who were angry at being deceived, sucked the sorcerer’s soul and spit him out to earth where he roamed soulless until he eventually died. 

        When the prophecy for you girls were drawn, Heka and Hecate approved it believing that the world would be a better or maybe different place when the girls finally were born. However, they too also had stipulations of their own that were added to the prophecy without the knowledge of the sorcerers and placed the prophecy in the cave of souls in Polaris. Only your memories have the power to reveal the prophecy and the true impact of your lives.

        The girls sat and took in all the information that was just handed to them. Still trying to understand their role in all of this. 

        “Mama, how do we fit in in all of this? I mean you just told us about Magie Ancienne but how is it that we are a part of it?” Holly asked and the rest of the girls wondered as well….
