Magic

I don't really know how to start this so I'm just going to start from the beginning. My name is Sora Le Fay, you've probably heard of my sister Lady Morgana Le Fay, the great witch, rival to the wizard Merlin. Before you ask yes I am a witch, you're probably thinking aren't witches all women and men are wizards. The answer is no a wizard is an all powerful witch who leads his/her coven of witches. Which is why there where witch huntings and witch burnings etc. for men and women. But I'm getting off the subject.

Now there are two ways to be a witch , you can sell your soul to The Dark One. The King of Evil, The Shadow Prince, Satan, Bahamut are just a few of the names The Dark One has gone by now that is just the first way to be a witch, the second being born with magic is how i came to be with my power. Being born with magic makes winning the lottery three times in one week look like nothing.

But my being born with magic was sort of predestined. My parents went to my sister begging for a way to have a second child in their old age. She gave them a magic elixer which caused creation to be filled with magic. While my mother was pregnant with me she had none of the usual ailments of a pregnant woman. No cravings, no morning sickness, no nothing. The only proof I even existed was my mother was late in her period, well that the fact that Morgana said that mother was radiating with raw magic.

Even my birth was bizarre. My mother went into labor in the middle of the night while she was asleep but she felt no pain, not even contractions. I woke my parents up a few minutes before dawn demanding food, and they probably died from shock. My mother also lost all the baby weight by noon the next day. Because they didn't know if i had been born really late in the Tuesday evening or in the early morning hours of Wednesday. So the said i was born in the instant of midnight when it wasn't one day or the other. So I celebrate my birthday at the minute of midnight between June 30th and July 1st of the year 584.

My infancy was far from dull, a baby and raw magic are not a good combination, ever. My sister spent a lot of time cleaning up after me. I would routinely set the house on fire, turn people into animals or inanimate objects, i even once turned our family dinner of chicken stew back into chickens.

When i turned four my sister began teaching me. She taught me how to read and how to use magic with the use of spell books. She taught me basic math using potions and cooking lessons. Father got really upset at that saying men shouldn't cook they should be out in the fields working. By the time I was five i could fly on a broom all by myself. By eight I was fluent, reading writing and speaking, english, latin, and ancient I was ten both father and mother passed away they caught the fever. I was sad but i had Morgana with me and we got through it together. By twelve i was performing spells that Morgana had trouble performing with ease.

My early teenage years was when i discovered my my love for trickery. Morgana sat me down on my thirteenth birthday and told me all about how if our magic was discovered we would be attacked and most likely killed. I was kept away from people for so long i was happy when Morgana told me i could begin going to the local villages as long as i was careful.

When in the villages I was a truly evil child. It began with jinxing a priest in the middle of a public preaching who was speaking the evils of witches. My pranks had no specific target just any one who i didn't like. Mostly priests. I would turn the communion wine into milk, i would turn the money in the collection basket into bugs, i made a few crosses fall over from time to time. When I wasn't pranking the clergy I was pranking random people. I would hex all the bakers breads so that when you bite into one you would begin speaking random words of nonsense. I would fix the local drunk so that he would ask nuns how much for the night and offer prostitutes his hand in marriage.

I also learned that i greatly preferred men over women. I never gave it much thought in my younger days because the only man i was around was my father and the only women my mother and sister. But as fate would have it as i was passing a river and there i saw a young man maybe nineteen bathing in the river. He was the son of a blacksmith so he was muscular. His muscles caught my eye but what kept my attention was his manhood. As he bathed I found him touching himself. I copied his movements fondling myself until I spilled my seed seeing him doing the same. I never told anyone of that time because I knew that a man should never look at other men like that. But that didn't stop me I would use invisibility spells frequently and go to bath houses, hot springs, and rivers any where I could spy on men.

When I was fifteen my sister told me that the king Arthur would be coming to see if I was fit to join his court. She told me that i was to prepare a presentation and that to be fit to join the court I was to amaze and bewilder him. I was told that he would arrive at a time close to my birthday, eleven and a half months away. I immediately consulted all my spell books and in a thousand year old grimoire i found a recipe for the Elixir of Immortality.

I toiled away at the recipe for the entire eleven months. Flying to places for days collecting the ingredients, spending many sleepless nights stirring a cauldron. If even one thing went wrong in the making of the elixir i would not know until i drank it and it either killed me or immortalized me.

When the elixir was complete I told my sister i was going to test my creation. She had no idea of what i was going to do for my presentation. With only a week before Arthurs arrival I told Morgana should she wake up and I was dead that i had failed and if i was alive and well that it was successful. I threw my inhibition to the wind and drank the potion that night. I instantly felt pain, i thought i had failed. Then as fast as the pain came it left. Eager to test the results, I picked up a knife and ran it across my arm my body would open as the knife cut but would seal itself shut as it passed. Curiousity got the better of me and I drove the knife into my hand. Despite the blood seeping out of my palm it felt about as bad as a bee sting if even that i pulled the knife out and before the tip even left my skin the wound healed it self. Again curiosity took over and I stabbed myself in the chest. Same result as my hand.

The following morning my sister said she knew it worked from all the cheering I had done the night before. Arthur arrived and when i saw him i thought he was perfection. He was tall and muscular, very muscular. He didn't notice me rape him with my eyes when he walked in the door. I welcomed him to our home. Morgana said that we could begin my demostration after dinner and that Arthur would probly like to rest and bathe in the hot spring morganna had created in the woods near our house. Arthur said he would love to and i showed him to the spring.

After showing him to the spring i stripped of my clothes and cast an invisibilty spell over myself. I went back to the spring to watch him bath. I began touching myself as i watched him clean him self as i spilled my seed i couldn't help but moan, loudly. He heard me and began to move to his clothes and armor using where he guessed my position to be the threw Excalibur at me with all his strength. He pinned me into the ground from my stomach and the legends of Excalibur were true, I could not move the sword only Arthur would be able to take it out of me.

I began forcing my body up and down using the sword to slowly cut through me. I had a choice i could take the short way out through my shoulder but have to cut through my ribs and shoulder blade. Or I could go through my spine and hips and have the sword leave my body from my left leg. I chose my shoulder but quickly found out how difficult it was to cut through bone using a sword the way I was cutting.

While I was doing all of this Arthur called for Morgana and began getting dressed. When Morgana arrived I figured out that they couldn't see me but they could they could see my blood. Morgana began a spell which I knew would make me be seen again. I also knew that a reversal spell would take my sister a good minute or two to complete so in those two minutes I cut through my ribcage like I was cutting up vegetables. Morgana finished her reversal spell when I was about halfway through my shoulder blade and from the gasps I heard I knew I was visible again.

I do not know what surprised them more learning that i had watched Arthur bathe and pleasured myself, or seeing me saw through my shoulder leaving only blood behind without even a scar. Clearly both of these were quite shocking to them because as I finished my shoulder and ran off, they still hadn't moved a step. I ran back to the house grabbed my broom and left. Afraid to face Arthur, and even more afraid to face Morgana. The shame I must have brought her must have been unbearable.

I flew away into the night and as night came I remembered that at the instant of midnight my birthday would come and I would be sixteen. I cried thinking about Morgana but as the hours past on and I grew tired. I landed near a village and remembered that I was still naked and began laughing to myself that I had been so preoccupied i didn't grab any clothes. Grabbing some branches I used magic to make some clothes for my self.

Over the next couple years I learned a few things. One I did not age as an affect from the elixir. Two my hair and nails seemed to grow faster because of the elixir an unknown side affect. Three magic is truly frowned upon by people everywhere. Four having money to spend makes you everybody's friend.

I would like to say that in my life through out history I played key roles. Assisting kings and emperors and generals, creating cures for plagues, helping every one I came across. But that would be a very big lie. I spent the course of history having fun. I would roll into a town and buy a room at the local inn. I would use my money, multiplied by magic of course, to buy whatever i pleased. I wore fine clothes that a king would wear and jewelry to match. People would try to mug me but I would turn them into frogs or snakes or bugs. Then the witch huntings would start i would be 'caught' 'tried' and burned, I had fun with that. When they would start the fires I would use magic to turn the flames various colors and have the flames shoot high into the sky and give the affect that hells gates where truly opening and in the midst of the confusion I would slip away and start the process again.

Occasionally I would come across a man who would strike my fancy. When I wanted to sleep with him I offered him twice his weight in gold. If denied I would simply hypnotize him and have my way with him. The things magic could do. But in all my years and all the men i met none of them could take my heart. I wanted love I knew that but when I realized I literally had all the time in the world I figured I could wait until the perfect man for me came along.

Needless to say Prince Charming took his sweet time. For over fourteen hundred years i traveled the world and know Mr. Right came down my road. I made Elixir of Immortality a second time. But not for a man no I made it for my black cat Shadow. He was good conversation even though he couldn't talk back. Well he could if I hexed him but I liked him better as a normal cat.

Me and Shadow spent our time all over the world. From England to japan, China to Australia, South Africa to Italy. In the Nineteen Thirty's I was one of the many immigrants who left to New York City with hope for the 'American dream'. Ever since then I've been traveling the states. I go to a town or city, enroll as a sophmore, stay for three years then leave. Doing this has gotten me the title valedictorian several times over. I keep going to high school because i figure I might find the man of my dreams there. While I've had more than my fair share of flings and one night stands I still have yet to find love.

My name is Sora Le Fay and this is my story.
