Chapter 1
It all started with a cry of a baby. She was born Aemilia Castus on a night where the moon shone bright, signifying the birth of the earth's newest daughter. She had green eyes and brown hair, just like her mother and brother. As the child would grow, she would experience occurrences that would shape her for who she was destined to be.
"Arthur, would you please tend to your sister."
"Yes, mother."
A ten year old Arthur stepped over to his younger sister. She was at a tender age of four and was already a special child. Her green eyes could look into your soul, which was what most people believed. She had experienced many turn a bouts through her life already. She had a long scar that ran along her forehead, an injury from a horse. The doctors were amazed that the child had lived and that she had healed so quickly.
"What is it Aemilia?" asked Arthur.
"Can we see the horses?" she asked.
"Yes, come on." he said.
Arthur led Aemilia outside. The day had turned into dusk as the villagers began to prepare for dinner. Arthur led Aemilia into the stables where the horses were kept. Her own horse, which was given to her on her first birthday stood in a stall all her own. She was as dark as the night sky with a small white spot on the middle of her nose. When Aemilia would turn eight summers old, she would learn to ride her, but for the next four years, she would have to cope with petting her.
"Aemilia I'll be right back. Don't move." said Arthur.
Arthur left the stable in search of some oats. A small fox cub ran past his feet and into the stable. She was pure white with black tipped ears and tail, which helped distinguish her from the wild ones. She belonged to Aemilia, which caused uproar within the house. Eventually, Aemilia convinced them to let her keep it.
"Fina!" shouted Aemilia.
She scooped the fox cub into her arms and cradled her under her chin, receiving kisses from the cub. Aemilia sat on the ground in the stall next to her horse. She played with Fina for awhile when she heard a terrible earth shattering cry from the north.
She ventured towards the doors, being careful to stay hidden. She saw blue men running every which way. Fire had erupted everywhere. Screams of women and children filled the night sky.
"Aemilia!" yelled Arthur.
He grabbed Aemilia and ran as quickly as he could back to their home. When he got there, flames were erupting from the top. He could hear their mother screaming for help on the inside. He hid Aemilia behind a wagon, making sure she wasn't visible and ran to his father's grave, determined to save his mother. When he returned, the house was fully engulfed. There was nothing he could do.
"Arthur!" screamed Aemilia.
He turned to see his younger sister being taken into the woods. The tears that streaked her face and the horror that framed her features would forever haunt his dreams.
Merlin had ordered the siege on the village, but for one purpose only. To obtain the child who would change the lives around her. Who had an ability than not even Merlin himself could obtain. She would have eyes as green as emeralds, and the mark of the butterfly on her right shoulder.
