In a world that combined what you would probably know as the Georgian era, but with a twist as it had a mix of the 80's as well. Being an era of both class and rebellion. This world consisted of witches and warlocks, but unlike what you would think. These beings could live 400 years minimum, those who could age very slowly or not with the use of magic if wanted. Even then at a certain age, one could just stay frozen in age. It all varied on the class, as well as the power one held. Class was the main importance for most, letting society run their life. Unlike others who did as they wanted and rebelled against the rules set for a strict life style. Those who survived vs. those who lived, you had a side and even then most didn't have a choice.

In a high-class city we look into the life of an only daughter, of a very well known family. Highly respected, yet not the kind of people you'd expect a Duke and a Duchess to be. They were rather kind for the world they lived in, but still held their own. They had moments of anger like most, but didn't take it out on just anyone. Their names were Salem and Corvina Drear, having only one daughter they named Alexandria. It wasn't all that common to only have one child, yet the two didn't mind only one heir to their name. Though it didn't help they had more things to worry about, like the illnesses that seemed to be spreading around their city. There hadn't been a cure found yet, so all one could do was hope and try potions after potions to find a way to stop it. Something magic had a hard time handling struck fear among the city, especially ones that didn't have anything to his or her name.

Though regardless, the Drear family still went on with their lives. Though the Duke and Duchess did keep their child away from most, not risking her health. Finding it easier to travel, finding places to sell their quality potions and spell books. Special one of a kind item the couple would create, the main items that brought their wealth. While they traveled, they taught their daughter along the way. Feeling it would be more beneficial then reading books all day long and having a horrible tutor, ones they knew personally from their own childhoods. Even if their daughter did read books, it was of her own will more often than not. Only making sure she knew what was necessary to get her through con artists, as well as making sure she could have the best education they could offer.

Being one of the world's best swordsman's of his day, Salem would take time to do what fathers in that time wouldn't ever do. He would teach is daughter how to fight, knowing how cruel the world could be. He would rather have his daughter know how to protect herself, than get taken advantage of. His daughter would be the best of the best, making sure she wasn't like any other. Plus in a way, it made up for the son he wouldn't be able to have. With the rather hard labor his wife went through, for her health it was best she didn't try for another.

So in the end, the Duke took what he had and did what he could. Though his wife wasn't too fond of her daughter coming back with wounds, knowing it was just from practicing didn't make Corvina feel any better. Even if she knew Salem wouldn't lay a hand on Alexandria besides their spars, or when she'd done something wrong. Even then all she would receive was a smack on the back of her hands, it was the best punishment the pair could agree on. It's not as though their child caused much trouble at all, it was minor compared to what she could do. Leaving marks on their child wouldn't be right, nor did the two feel like explaining why their daughter had bruises. But with the training Alexandria and her father would do, there was bound to be some right? But thanks to their magic, all the marks were instantly removed from the girls pale skin.
