An: Hi, everyone! I decided to make a new story. I made these chapters AND titles based on bands called "Of Monster and Men" and "AURORA". I am hoping that this is will be enjoyable for you guys.

Summary:In the world of Aurora, a young witch finds herself caught in between war, friendship, and romance.

So I take off my face

Because it reminds me how it all went wrong

And I pull out my tongue

Because it reminds me how it all went wrong

And I cough up my lungs

Because they remind me how it all went wrong

But I leave in my heart

Because I don't want to stay in the dark

- Of Monster and Men

Prologue: Organs

The bright, blue sky above was almost painful to look at. It was a constant reminder of her inability to break free from the prison that she calls home. Birds flew across without any care. The sounds from the forest near her mansion floated throughout the air. To others, it would be beautiful or perhaps, calming but not to her. They seemed to be mocking her, taunting her.

She was sick of it.

The sunlight glimmer through the velvet, mahogany-colored curtains. It highlighted her face while partly shielded her from the world. She narrowed her eyes at sunlight before sighing in annoyance. Getting up from her position, she turns around to observe her glamorized bedroom. She spotted her papers which were scattered all over the place. The papers consisted of old studies of ancient languages along her letters to her mother. She looked at her papers with sadness in her heart. She wondered what her life could have been if her mother didn't die.

The memories flashed through her mind. Her heart ached for her mother's warmth and stories she used to tell. She bent down to pick papers up but a certain paper caught her eye. It was written in strange symbols. Not only that it was written in the way she has never seen before, it was written in gold too. Her index finger trailed the pathway of foreign symbols. It entranced her. But unfortunately, there was a sudden knock on the door, startling her in the process.

A voice called out, "Miss Heartifila?"

Being alerted by a maid, she frantically gathered papers and shoved them under her bed. All papers were hidden under there except the strange foreign paper which is hidden in her dress pocket. Brown eyes looked up to the door as she replied, "Yes?"

The maid instantly responded as if she was on the clock, "Your father had requested you in his office."

"Okay… I will be going now."

The young girl took a glance toward a mirror. Her reflection clearly shows the small curiosity on her face. However, aside that curiosity, it still wore that hopeless and tired look. She tore her eyes away from the mirror. She quietly murmured to herself, "Here's to another day in the hellhole."

Unknowingly to her, the glimmer of golden light shined from her pocket.
