About The Author

Daddy, I love you for always holding me up to reach the stars. I appreciate your love and support.

Chapter 1

Just a little over two months ago. My friends and I stopped a warlock named Evander from taking over our world that we call Warrin. Everyone was happy and everything was peaceful. Until now, which sucks because of all this melodrama that is going on. I really don’t have time for this my Lifeday is tomorrow Damnit Narrated Nimora in an annoyed tone

The night was pitch black. The skies was filled with clouds emitting rattling thunder and rain descending heavy to the ground.

At the Miccolt house

He’s out there isn’t he? Again? Asked Rebecca

You know he is. Said Vincent

All of this because of….Kimberly Travin. He needs to get over it and fast. Said Rebecca

I sent Dyson to talk to him. Said Vincent

At the hill top

Standing near the edge. Surrounded by twenty guards. Stood Matthew drenched by his own making. With his eyes gleaming Vibrant Violet as he looked out to the city down below.

Matthew! Yelled Dyson as he approached

Matthew didn’t turn around

Nephew. Look at me. Asked Dyson

Matthew turned around

I’m sorry. I’m sorry that your first crush was someone you couldn’t have. That you have to let her go. But being out here isn’t going to solve anything. I know, what it’s like to be in your position believe me. I can’t promise your feelings will go away. But I can promise that it will get better. Explain Dyson

I can sense when she’s near. Uncle and I can feel that she’s in as much pain as I am. Because of the thunder and lightning she’s causing in the sky. Said Matthew pointing to the sky above

I know you love her. But you have to stop this. We haven’t had a break from this thunderstorm for the past month and a half. You have to stop this Matthew. Said Dyson

I refuse to be happy about this! Yelled Matthew

I don’t blame you. But right now it’s late. Can you please come home? Asked Dyson

Matthew turned to look back out to the view of the city. His eyes turned from the shade of violet to its normal Carmel brown. He turned and start to walk away with his uncle.

At the Travin family household

Essence came downstairs with a plate of food in her hand walking into the kitchen.

She isn’t hungry. Said Essence with an annoyed tone

I wonder how long she’s going to be like this. Asked Nathan

We will have to deal with it. Said Lillian

What I don’t understand is? My sister, who has been crying on and off for a month and a half. Because she is not allowed to date someone because of a stupid rule that our ancestors made hundreds of years ago. Said Essence irritated

That stupid rule was put in place so that none of the three royal family lines would never become one. It’s too dangerous. Said Lillian

What are you talking about? Asked Essence confused

Our Ancestors knew that because we will be close together as we grew up that romantic feelings might develop. Like for example. What if Kimberly and Matthew were allowed to be together. They would get married and have kids right? Explained Lillian

Right. Said Essence

So, then it’s not three royal lines anymore there’s two. Now what if Nimora’s child and Matthew and Kimberly’s child fall in love and get married. Then there’s now not two royal lines anymore there’s one. With every generation getting stronger and more powerful. Our ancestors believed that, what if in the future that there’s one descendant of ours that is the most powerful witch or warlock in charge. What if they become a tyrant or a dictator? No one would be able to stop them. So that rule was put in order to protect the future of all magic. That’s why even though it hurts to put Kimberly through this. I rather do this than the other resort. Said Lillian

Other resort? Asked Essence

By law both Kimberly and Matthew are to be put to death. Said Nathan

Seriously? Asked Essence in shock

Yes, that’s why we’re separating them to let them get over this. Said Lillian

At the Swistun family home

The clock strikes 12:00 am

Nima was lying in bed when her room doors opened with the lights turning on. Nimora sat up in her bed and took off her eye mask.

In her room was her father holding a Unicorn hair cupcake (her favorite) in his hand along with Rozina, Braylin and the maids and butlers holding balloons.

Happy Life day to you, happy life day to you

We thank the three Goddesses for you

We thank the three Goddesses for you

Happy Life day to you

Sang everyone.

It’s June 13th. Happy Life day baby girl. Said Lukein handing her the cupcake

Thanks daddy. But what are those two doing in my room. Said Nima coldly

Those two are your future step mother and step brother. I thought it would be nice for them to join in on our tradition. Said Lukein

How’s this for tradition. Said Nima as her eyes flashed from dark brown to Emerald green.

Rozina and Braylin both dropped to the floor. The maids and butlers backed away slowly.

What did you do to them Nimora? Asked Lukein as he went to check on them.

They’re taking a little nap. Giggled Nima

Sighed sounded Lukein. Please take them to their beds please. He asked the Butlers.

They did as they were told and they all left the room.

Nima, you can’t keep doing this to them. They are trying to get close to you. Why can’t you try as well? Asked Lukein

I never asked for a step mother or her kid. You just sprung them on me and expect me to just be happy and go along with it. Which father isn’t going to happen? I don’t approve of you getting married and I refuse to be any part of it. Declared Nima

I will give you time to adjust to this situation. But as long as I’m your father and you are my daughter. You will accept them into your life because you quite frankly don’t have a choice. Happy Life day. Said Lukein before he got up and left the room.

In the state Kegan, city of Pele. In an underground basement of a metal extraction factory.

There was sounds of cheering going on. In the middle of the basement was a caged ring. Brian jabbed left, jabbed right. He missed. His opponent was two inches taller and stocker. He dodged his attacks and punched at Brian’s rib cage then his jaw. Landing those hits Brian buckled a bit. Then sent a upper cut from his right hook knocking his opponent back a bit. Brian went up to the man and landed punches repeatedly to the face until his opponent dropped to the ground.

1,2,3,4. counted the people

Is he going to get back up? The announcer asked the crowed

5,6,7. Counted the people

I don’t think he is. Said the Announcer

GET UP! Yelled Brian

8,9,10. Counted the people

The bell rung and Brian was announced the winner.

Back at home. Brian just walked in and shut the door. When the doorbell rang.

Please go away. Said Brian

The doorbell rang again.

Please don’t make me open the door. Begged Brian

The doorbell rang again

Brian closed his eyes and shook his head as he hesitated to open the door. Once he opens, there lies the bodies of one of his friend from the Warrin Wreckers and his relatives’ bodies lying piled up on each other. He looked up to see the Shadow standing there for a moment before vanishing into thin air. Brian just dropped to his knees.

The Next Morning at the Swistun house

Nima was heading downstairs.

Good morning Lady Swistun. Said Lola the housemaid

Good morning Lola. What’s for breakfast? Asked Nima

She making a mean ginger aid omelet. Said Braylin

I didn’t ask you anything. Said Nima

I know. Said Braylin

Is my father home Lola? Asked Nima

Nope, he and my mother went out. Said Braylin

Again, I didn’t ask you. Said Nima now irritated

I know. Said Braylin cocking a smile

That’s it. (Duratus) casted Nima as Braylin turned into ice.

I’ll be eating in my room Lola. Whip me up whatever you like. Said Nima

Yes, Lady Swistun. Said Lola

In her room

Have you two talked yet? Asked Iris through the witches glass

No, I’ve been too pissed off to even think for the past two months. Said Nima

Well girl you need to talk to him and find out what he knows. Said Iris

Urgh, I don’t want to. Said Nima

Sucked it up Lifeday girl. Said Iris

Okay. Said Nima

Knock,Knock sounded Nima’s Door

Come in. said Nima

In came in Braylin holding a tray of food.

Seriously? Do you want me to freeze you into a Popsicle again? Asked Nima

As fun as that sounds, I’m going to have to decline. Said Braylin as he put the food down on her bed

Ok, get out. Said Nima

Can you please let me finally explain myself? Asked Braylin

Why should I? Asked Nima

Because I owe you that much. Said Braylin

Sigh sounded Nima. Go ahead.

Okay, my mom would come to Tien for work like two to three days out of a week. Of course, she dragged me here too. But only to be watched by my grandfather. I noticed you sometimes before Essence’s Lifeday party. You were always had your eyes locked on Matthew. I was curious about the Legacy kids. I developed a crush on you. Then my mother told me that she was dating Thee Lukein Swistun, she even told me that it was starting to get serious. I was curious to know who exactly his famous spoiled daughter was like. Imagine to my surprise that it was the same girl. I had a crush on. Who looked a bit lost and hurt in her eyes? So, I purely wanted to get to know you to see if we could become friends so it wouldn’t be too weird if our parents got married. Explained Braylin

You do know in this story of yours. You seem like a complete stalker. I hope you do know that. Said Nima sarcastically

You know that I’m not but that is why I had to stay away from you. Said Braylin

I still don’t understand that part? Questioned Nima

I started to like you. It wasn’t just an innocent crush because I thought you were beautiful. But I knew that I could fall for you. While knowing we couldn’t be together because of our parents. So, I pushed you away. Said Braylin

Well, even though you stalked me, started to like me then pushed me away. I’m still mad at the fact that you made me think that I did something wrong. You could have just told me the truth. Said Nima putting her hands on her hips

I know and I’m sorry for that. Said Braylin

I’ll think about accepting your apology now get out of my room. Said Nima

At the Travin house

Knock,Knock sounded Kimberly’s door

Kimelon I’m coming in. said Essence as she opened the door

It was dark in Kimberly’s room. The shades were down, the lights were off.

The only thing that illuminated light was Kimberly’s witch’s glass that said Cassie.

Kimelon, I know you don’t know what day it is. But it’s Nima’s Lifeday and you know we have to go to her party. Said Essence

Kimberly didn’t make no movements beneath the covers

C’mon Kimelon you know mom or dad is going to force you to go and I don’t want them to get pissed at me for defending you. So, can you just please go. For me? Asked Essence

Will Matthew be there? Asked Kimberly a bit muffled under the covers

You know he has to go as well as you. Said Essence

Kimberly sat up and just looked at Essence with tears in her eyes.

Oh, Kimelon. I hate seeing you like this. Said Essence as she hugged her sister.

At Miccolt House

In his bedroom, Matthew was standing at his window. Watching the rain continue to fall.

Matthew, your mother and I wanted to let you know that after Nimora’s party we are leaving for Addis city. Said Vincent entering Matthew’s room

Why? Asked Matthew

To tend to some business. Said Vincent

How long are we staying? Asked Matthew

For two months. Said Rebecca

Two months? Questioned Matthew slightly looking at his parents

Yes. So, start packing now. Said Vincent

Don’t worry we will be back the day before your Lifeday. Said Rebecca poking her head in Matthew’s room

Pearl Royal Ballroom

Nima entered the ballroom. Where her favorite color lilac purple in the form of a backless dress with silver earrings and bracelet. With her hair in romantic curls. She looked around at the decorations that filled the room of lilac purple and grey. The room was filled with her father, Rozina and Braylin along with friends. Screaming Happy Lifeday Nima. She was led up to the stage where there was a single thrown chair in the center. She took a seat.

Welcome everyone to my one and only daughter 16th Lifeday party. This is the last Lifeday I can still call her my baby girl. Because come next year will be her coronation. She will be seventeen and a legal adult. Boy how has the time flew by. Said Lukein

Awwe Daddy. Said Nima

Sorry, everybody. I got a bit carried away. Um, Let’s start the familiar ceremony. Said Lukein

Everyone began to clap.

Ok, repeat after me. (Creatura-ego-voco-ad-me-sum-mea –anima-atque-praesul-presul) said Lukein

Nima repeat the spell and just few moments later a blast of wind blew through the room. In flew a creature that hovered above her. Nima looked up to see a Griffin flying over her. Covered in all white and has black as night colored wings.

(Consurge) casted Nima

Your Nimora Swistun right? Asked the Griffin

Yes, I am. Said Nima

Awesome to meet you. I’m Alya and when I heard your call I knew that someone as fabulous and powerful as you. Wanted a familiar, I just had to answer. Said Alya happily

Nima smiled and said I love you already.

You better. Said Alya

So how are you going to stay close? Asked Nima

Oh, that’s easy. Do you like tattoos? Asked Alya

I don’t know how I feel about that? Said Nima

Watch this. Said Alya as she flew into Nima’s back. In her backless dress you see two wings as tattoos appear on Nima’s shoulder blades.

Whoa. Said Nima

Now I’m with you whenever you need me. Said Alya from Nima’s back.

Cool. Said Nima

Ok everybody. The ceremony is over. DJ let the beat drop. Said Lukein as the sound of music filled the room

Hey Nima. Said Essence as she was heading up the stage

Hey Essence. Said Nima

Welcome to the having a familiar club. Said Essence

OMG! Is that a real thing? Said Alya from Nima’s back

No, it isn’t. Giggled Nima

Aww. Said Alya a bit disappointed.

So, how’s the hopeless romantics? Asked Nima looking out to the crowed that you can clearly see Matthew and Kimberly being surround by body guards

They’re miserable. Sighed Essence

I wish we could help them. Said Nima

Since when did you get over Matthew? Asked Essence

Oh, please I been got over him. Said Nima

Was that around the time someone named Braylin came into the picture? Asked Essence

Maybe? But unfortunately, he’s about to be my step brother. Yay. Said Nima unenthusiastic

It’s ok. You’ll get over him. Said Essence

What if I don’t want to? Asked Nima

The two started to giggle

To the maiden in heaven we all have issues. Said Essence before walking away

Nima looked through the crowd and saw Braylin dancing with a girl on the dance floor. She felt a twinge of jealousy.

So Nima went to the dance floor and grabbed a random guy and started to dance on him.

Wow. You’re really pretty. Said the guy

Tell me something I don’t know. Said Nima

Braylin looked up and saw Nima dancing seductively. So, he twirled the girl around and dipped her then brought her close to him and danced.

Nima looked at Braylin and glared at him.

He looked at her and glared back at Nima.

Do you know how to do lifts? Asked Nima

Yes, I do actually. My mother told me that dancing could help me in life. Said the guy

Just shut up and lift me up. Said Nima

The guy did as she asked and lifted her up in the
