Prologue
Sometimes, your life goes a very different way than you think. For one little girl it went more differently than most. She was born to two loving parents in a place called the Spellcaster Realm. She levitated her first bottle at six months. At one year she changed the color of her bib. At age three she said her first spell. At age five she got her first training wand. She knew that she was destined to be a great Spellcaster. She would become a Level Ten Master Caster by the time she was twenty one. The youngest ever.
Her parents had always told her that she could do anything she set her mind to. They had. Her mom may have only been a Level Seven but she was a talented healer and had even trained in something called science. Her father? He was a Level Ten castle guard, head of his unit. People respected him. With people like them to look up to how could she not reach her full potential? Easy, by not having people like them.
When she was seven years old her mother came into her room. Her eyes were red like she'd been crying. For a seven year old she was quite aware, she had known that something was wrong. When she found out that her father was gone she cried. He had died in a protest at the castle. Some people just wouldn't accept the king as their leader and her dad had paid the price.
For the next year they tried to live their life normally. She attended school. Her mother returned to the clinic. They continued to hone their skills. It was all they knew how to do. By the time she was eight years old she had officially reached Level One. She was relatively on par for someone of her age. She had intended to be much farther ahead by now but her father's death took a toll on her. Her mother had changed as well. She no longer seemed to see the beauty in magic. She only saw it as the cause of her husband's death. Eventually she began to throw herself more into the alternative method of healing known as science. The girl didn't understand it, it made no sense to her. There was no reason for it in the Spellcaster Realm. It was around that time that she learned that there was another world than the one she knew. It was a place called Earth.
Earth was a place without magic, where people relied on things such as machines. It was not completely different from her home, there was a form of potion making known as chemistry though her mother told her it was not the same. She didn't see the draw. Her mother, however, was deeply intrigued. She became obsessed with learning everything she could about life on earth. Her moving there seemed inevitable, and it was.
At only eight years old, a little girl was whisked away from the only home she had ever known and taken to a place with rules unknown to her where she could never be her true self. Her mother told her that while magic was not forbidden the inhabitants of earth could never know it existed. She could never tell anyone about her former home or what she could do. All that she had left was enough spell books to get her up to a Level Three, if she was lucky, and an old potion kit. She hated leaving but she didn't have a choice in the matter, she knew that her mother might be driven mad by remaining in the Spellcaster Realm for much longer. Now, instead of a healer her mother was something called a doctor. The little girl was now an inhabitant of the place called Earth.
Years later she would learn more about this planet and it's connection to her home realm. She would learn about the pocket dimension that she spent the first eight years of her life in and how drastically it would once again come to alter her life. But for right now she just had to focus on remembering her new life. She had just moved from Keystone City, Kansas to Central City, Missouri. She had been home-schooled by her mother her whole life. Her father passed from an incurable illness. Most importantly she had to remember to forget who she was. She was no longer a Spellcaster. She was Caitlin Snow. She was normal.
