" Be clear." Annie demanded. Meggie made them tea then sat opposite Annie.
" I suppose I should start from the beginning, in the old era, a human woman gave birth to nine children.
The old era was quite chaotic, so her village was attacked and all the men and boys were murdered leaving only women.
This woman would go on to become the old mother, the first witch. She studied ancient magic.
Her and the rest of the women were taken as captures and as for what happened to them, I think you can guess.
Unfortunately 4 of her 9 daughters were old enough and experienced the horrors she did.
This was before the rise of the first Espera Adam and Eve, humans were still very weak in comparison to other races.
However they had learnt to use two types of magic, occult and theurgy, both which required them to borrow power.
Occult borrowed the power of relics to channel power,theurgy was sacrificial magic.
