CHAPTER 1
1521 LONDINIUM
Darkness embraces the city of Islington as the moon dances with the night; few people believe that the moon is just making a way to communicate with everyone but not for all humans sometimes for other living creatures as well.
Every 3rd of the month, the people in the villages of Islington celebrate an offering feast for all the spirits that protect them from witches that attack all the people, they kill every human that is no use for them, others believe that witches are looking for the “Crotia” a human vessel for the white witch to be born.
Tyranka lives with her family that is also preparing for the feast, they never missed this event, and her family was a victim of witches attack two years ago but in an unexplainable reason, they lived and still alive, after that they always give thanks to the spirits whom they believe who save them.
Aside from the witches, Revouyant is an evil spirit with no identification, they don’t have a face, body or even gender to be specific, and they are like floating dark cloak that has no limbs.
Revouyant is known for their famous origin, they are born by the fear of people in the time of witches and human war, all the human fears and sorrow was cursed by the queen of witches the reason of revouyant creation.
Their power is bringing the people fearsome and suffering and when they already under their power and their fear arise, they will suck their spirit until they are bones and skin left.
People believe that at the exact time of sunset they all need to be inside their house as the
Revouyant is roaming around to find some human spirits as their food, Tyranka never believes in revouyant, being skeptical is one of her defense, she doesn’t believe in anything that will bring up fear to her, she lives as is, she only believes in witches as she witnessed them attacking her family two years ago.
“Mother, does anyone see the spirit protector?” David ask, Tyranka’s little brother
Uncovering the pot that she is cooking, their Mother was silent for a moment and look at
Tyranka then turns her gaze to David.
“No one dear, it’s a spirit, has no body, no form.” The mother replied
Waiting for her Mom’s answer, Tyranka felt a little disappointed as she wanted to know it too.
David walks out the door to play outside following by Tyranka but her Mom holds her arms to stop her.
She looks at her with a lot of words in her eyes; she can’t seem to understand the weird look she gave to her.
“Is there something wrong mother?” she asks
Her mother pulled her at the corner and whisper
“Have you still remember it?” the mother asks
“Why are you asking me the same question now and then?” she replied in displeased
Her mother did not answer her question, same reaction and movement, expressing the act of avoidance.
Tyranka did the same as usual, she didn’t insist to ask again and just continue what her doing.
Though curiosity is all over her system, she never insists to ask purposely the reason behind the question that is always been asked to her.
She was just fourteen when the attack happened, she remembers the gruesome deeds of the witches to her family but the part where they are all being saved was still blurry.
The offering feast started and everyone in the village of Shibanka is ready for the event,
Tyranka’s family started to kneel and pray for the spirit protector.
The whole village was covered by silence but it was not an ordinary silence as the surroundings started to look dimly and an unknown smoke started to appear.
People around felt a little frightened but curious at the same time, Tyranka turns her head at the right side of the village where the forest is, the smoke was getting thicker out there and a figure of a woman appeared.
Everyone’s eyes were widened when they saw the woman wearing an old black dress and her nails are long and sharp.
“The witch...!” The man shouts and everyone starts to move and run away to hide.
Tyranka, on the other hand, remained in her position, she couldn’t move or make a little step even her mom tries to pull her, and the eyes of the witch were buried at her and slowly walking towards her.
The mother can’t do anything about it anymore to save her child and so she drops her hand and start to run and hide inside their house, Tyranka was the only one left behind.
The witch looks at her closely while her body starts to tremble in fear.
“What is your name dear?” the witch asks but Tyranka didn’t respond in any words.
The witch holds her chin and pinches it.
“I hate repeating myself….you will answer me or everyone in this village will be vanished!” the witch said looking straight into her eyes.
Tyranka did her best to move her lips even fear is all over her system.
“T-Tyranka..” she said
The witch formed a smile and start sniffing her hair and neck acting like she is a yummy delicacy.
“Such a good smell for a white witch like you….the only heir of Crotia!!” the witch said with wide eyes
Tyranka felt confused about what the witch said and was about to ask something to the witch when her Mom appeared.
“No!! My daughter is no witch!” her mother said trying to fight her fear
The witch moved fast in front of the mother and look into her eyes.
“So..You are the protector…the one I have been looking for!!!” the witches shout at her but the mother remains still
The witch then moves in speed again behind Tyranka and holds her neck and hugs her from behind to take her with her
“Please! Not my daughter! Please I beg you!” the mother pleaded in tears while kneeling and hold the hem of the witch.
The witch just throws a look at her then holds her head and twists her neck that shocked
Tyranka’s whole being.
In a minimum movement, Tyranka just pushes the witch almost 4 meters away that makes her start to get mad.
Tyranka holds her dead mother’s body to the ground and starts to cry, her little brother approached them while crying hard when the witch grabs him as well and like her mother she twists the boy’s head.
While crying for her mother’s death and now starts to mourn with her brother’s dead body as well, Tyranka formed big remorse and anguished inside her, she felt the heat and heavy feeling coming out inside her as she screams that almost surrounds the whole land of Islington.
As she started to scream an unknown force of wind spread around that pushes the witch away and other cuts all the trees around.
It was a powerful force came out inside her and a white force or light covered her body.
The witch started to feel frightened about what Tyranka’s power can do and so she summoned her revouyant that start to spread the chaos to all people of Shibanka.
Everyone runs for their life as the Revouyants start to suck each and everyone’s spirit.
Tyranka was shocked to see all those flying dark cloaks, the fear started to overpower her anger and so the witch take advantage of it and attack Tyranka, she grabs tight Tyrankas neck and starts to choke her, Tyranka can’t fight it as the witch became much powerful than her.
Children on the other hand were caught by a giant flying beast also summoned by the witch, people believe that the witches will use the children as their offering to “Ahanla” their God of darkness the one who gives and nourished their power, children are stripped down and their blood will be Ahanla’s food, same events are continuously roaming the whole Londium however a group of white witches that came from the family of Crotia that later be called lined of white witches that fights against dark witches and Ahanla.
Unfortunately due to small numbered of white witch they were all defeated by the dark witches and was said to vanish throughout the century, then a prophecy suddenly spread the whole land of Londium that a soul of white which will arise at the time when an heir of “Crotia” will be born.
While hanging by the witch’s arms that are continuously choking her, her eyes witnessed the Revouyants sucking all the spirits of the villager and what makes her eyes wide was when her mother and brother’s spirit was being sucked as well by those creatures.
On that part, her eyes turn to white and this time a wide and powerful ray of light spread around and push away all the revouyants and the witch was again pushed away.
The revouyants left the witch while Tyranka slowly walks towards the wounded witch; she is now the one holding her neck.
The light from Tyranka’s eyes became powerful and it quickly covered the whole land, its light easily burns the witch's skin than her body until her bones.
At that moment the feast ends in the horrific death of the people of Shibanka and no one knows where Tyranka is as she disappeared after what she did to the witch.
People believe that she was also died and burn but others believe that she became what the prophecy said the Crotia or the heir of the white witch.
