Witchcraft

Prologue

This year's all hallows eve night was particularly busy for Kandi and Kolby as they watched over their young daughter resting in her crib. At a mere two years of age she had not yet developed the powers that she would inherit from her parents later on in her innocent life. Both parents felt guilty for putting her in a situation she could not save herself from. They regarded each other with knowing looks as they heard the soft sounds of hooves hitting dirt as the horses bearing knights drew closer.

Kandi reached out to touch her young daughter's soft cheeks as she slept. Kolby got up and went into the closet, opening the secret compartment in the back and retrieving the two gifts they wished to leave behind for their young daughter. "We love thou young one, with all our hearts, power and strength" Kandi said as Kolby placed the amulet around his daughter's small neck. He placed the wrapped parcel on the bedside with a lying note for the knights who were coming to take them away; away from their lives, their home, and their precious young daughter. The sound of horse hooves hitting dirt was closer now and it was louder than the two parents had expected.

They knew this was coming, but no one else knew that they did. Kandi had seen it in her visions, and Kolby had sensed immense danger coming in the near future and immediately understood. The knights were banging on the door loudly. Kandi and Kolby kissed their young daughter's head for the last time in their lives as they rose to let the knights in. There was no use fighting for if they did the suspicions would be proven correct and their daughter would be taken as well and that was the last thing they would want.

The head knight stepped across the threshold and got straight to business, "I, Alistair, newest head of knights am here to announce that Kandi and Kolby of the village of Elmina are hereby sentenced to execution by fire. To be burned at the stake on the accusation of being a part of the dark arts; witchery." he announced loudly.

Kandi silently prayed they wouldn't wake the sleeping girl in the back of the house. "Will thy be escorting my wife and mineself to the castle for the execution?" Kolby asked without the hesitation of mere mortal people, Alistair seemed shocked at the reaction but replied,

"Yes, we shall bind thine hands, feet and body then we shall take thou to the castle" and with those words the pair where bound and carried off into the dark night.

Three of the knights in the rear heard small whimpers from inside the house and beset by curiosity, they advanced slowly into the house and saw a small child standing up holding the crib, she was looking at the spot where her parents had last stood. A note pinned to a parcel wrapped and secured with twine read:

I know thou hath taken us on the accusation of witchery, but the child thou see is not of our own. On the morrow take her to the village square, I beg of thee. This parcel she can only receive on the morn of her 14th birthday. Do not harm or condemn the child for she hath done naught wrong. Gulveig, for that is her name, is but a child stolen from the clutches of her mother's arms and innocent of anything of which we art accused. Grammacy to thou who does our bidding, we are verily gratified.

Fare-thee-well, Kandi and Kolby.
