The Magic Circle

Chapter 1:The Promise

Queen Amiliea was pacing her chambers in her castle, awaiting the arrival of her love King Aaron. She was worried because of the fact that she just found out that it would be rather difficult for her to conceive him an heir, as her thoughts were running wild the doors to her chamber busted open and in walked the handsome and wonderful King Aaron. Aaron saw her pacing and went to her, "what is wrong my love? Why are you pacing the chamber? Amiliea sighed, "My king I have some devastating news, for I just found out it will be difficult to conceive you an heir." The king sighed and started pacing as well; then out of the corner of the chambers in the dark shadows out came a young woman who said," Hello my queen and king I am Airadessa and I have heard of your troubles and have came to help." The king and queen stopped pacing and said," what can you do to help us with our issue?" The woman smiled and replied, " You see for I am a Witch and I can give you a potion to help you conceive an heir, but in return I have a condition for I have two sons and if you conceive a daughter or two they are to wed my sons on the eve of their eighteenth birthday." Amiliea and Aaron desperate to conceive agreed in hopes that their children would be boys, then before the witch left she said, "before I leave you must know that if you go back on our deal, that a curse will be cast on the kingdom and all in the kingdom will become mine and slaves to whatever I choose." The king and queen were shocked, but knew they couldn't turn back now. Then a few days later the queen in fact found out she was pregnant, as the months past by the king and queen started to worry about the pact, but they were insanely happy about their little ones. Nine months had went by and the babies were born and when the king and queen saw that it was two daughters they knew the witch would be back to claim their daughters for her sons, it was just a matter of time.
