This world is full of wonder and magic if you know where to look. It is everywhere from the tiniest raindrop to the birth of a new life. But for the creatures that lurk in the shadows, they know the true meaning of magic as they are made from it, as is everything else. However, most creatures have lost their heritage from the types of magic to the knowledge about themselves they once had. It was all due to fear. It was fear of magic because some couldn't be as powerful as others, that the weak humans started killing and erasing their knowledge so they wouldn't be able to use it against themselves.

Rosalind POV
My name is Rosalind and I am eighteen years old today. Excellent is what you're thinking, but for me, just another day of working until dark. I was just doing my normal routine of going to pick up the medicinal herbs that have to ripen, then going to the shops to get groceries. But as I was walking back, I had run into the worst person in the world and his friends.
He looked at me disgusted and then growled angrily, saying angrily "why me moon goddess, why must you punish me". I gave him a confused look, then he said the words that caused me a shock and unimaginable pain in my heart. The pain was so great I fell on the floor and curled into a ball. Everything is being too burr. But the thing that remained constant in my mind was my thinking about where everything in my life went so wrong. Thinking back on my true misery and all the pain that started when I arrived at this cursed village, Wolfsburg.
Year 1014
*Flashback*
It was five years ago when I arrived at this village full of people, or should I say werewolves anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I have been traveling through the harsh weather to fulfill a promise I made to my grandmother on her deathbed.
You see you're probably wondering where the rest of the family is well to make it easy for all of you they all died. It was an accident. They were out at the village near the mountain that surrounded the village in their cart to collect some medical herbs that were ripe. They left me with my grandmother to look after me until they came back, but they didn't. I was a few months old.
But on the way back, they went off the cliff on their way back and died. Well, that's what my grandmother told me when I was old enough to understand they were gone. I was three then three right. Enough about that, back to my point. My grandmother was the only family I had left to look after me and to tell me more about my parents, as I would never get to meet them in person.
But now I am 10 years old, holding my grandmother's hand while she takes her last few breaths in this world. She said with tears in her eyes, "my dear child, I'm not long for this world. My time is almost up, but my one regret is I can't protect you anymore or watch you grow into the beautiful woman I know you to be. Promise me, once I have passed you will travel north until you reach a village called Wolfsburg. Once there, show them this at the gate. They will know once you show them, then they will take you to grandmother's old friend, he will look after you.”
She said with one of the most heartfelt smiles she had on her, and I answered “ Yes, grandmother, I will do as you say. There is no need to trouble yourself anymore. Your granddaughter will follow your last request to live happily there, I promise.” With that, she passed while I had in my hand a necklace that had a weird symbol on it. But after she left, I could keep my promise just once. I will cry for her and myself. I will cry then put on a smile.
After that, I buried her on the top of the hill near our home. It was her favorite spot to be after my parents died. It was a peaceful place where she would be able to see the whole village and look after them from the afterlife. Soon after that, I decided to journey to the place grandmother talked about on her deathbed.
I have just arrived at the entrance to the village. There were guards there asking for reasons and the necklace I gave them the answers. They were placed on each side of the road leading to the village. The ones on the right and left were both about 6 feet tall with muscles all-around their upper bodies. They are both wearing green shirts and black hose with sandals. The one on the right was if I had to say, ten years older than the one on the left. He looked to be in his teens. The right was bold while the left had black hair. They had with them a sword and spear as they were guarding the village with a wooden wall. I, on the other hand, was small for my age. My black hair and brown eyes walked up to them in normal clothes for the time. They ask to stand there so they could wait for their leader/alpha. That is what they liked to call him I guess. “Do you want to know why a ten-year-old is there all alone with bags walking there on foot when the nearest village from Wolfsburg is 30 miles away?” I asked in a way that I knew would annoy them.
I was standing there waiting for their so-called leader to turn up. The weather was mild and sunny, so ok I guess. Anyway, after what felt like forever, a large scary man appeared from the entrance and you could tell by the look that this guy was their leader/alpha. His body just radiates power any way he asks me where my family is. He asked if I was a healer from the looks of my bags and my smell of herbs. " Yes," after hearing this, he took a strong look at me and then spoke, " if you are a healer, I will allow you to enter on the condition you heal my son". "I will try my very best to heal him, alpha. With that, he then took me to his house, and with his Luna, in the room, we sat on chairs.
The alpha spoke to me in his deep voice “ Yes, we are lucky you have come at this time, for our healer has just passed away without anyone to take the position upon them. So may I ask how you know so much about healing for one as young as you and why you are here in my village?
I took a deep breath and brought forth the courage within as I began to speak in a strong voice. “ It all started when my parents passed away”, that changed their faces to shock and sadness in their eyes, but I continued “I then lived with my grandmother who was the village healer she thought me everything I know about herbs, treated wounds and the supernatural world.” “Was” was the first thing that the luna said after hearing me out. I took another deep breath and began to speak again. “ Yes, she had just passed by and told me to come to this village where I would be safe and protected by the alpha, for he was once a close friend of my grandmother.” The alpha looked shocked when he heard this from “ Yes she from the great healer form the village over” “yes”. Sadness returned to his eyes as he looked at me, remembering my grandmother.
