I remember being a small baby. My mother was said to look exactly like me. She had striking bluebell eyes,the same complexion and even smile. The only thing I had inherited from my father was his hair colour. I liked to spend most of my days exploring the village I grew up in and I remember most of the friends I'd made there,the magic they'd taught us and the secrets they shared for future descendants to hear.
I remember the smells of the village I grew up in. The market was always filled with the smells of sugar and spices. The fruit seller usually gave me a few strawberries every morning and called me 'a special dear.' The sound of the other Ladybug miraculous descendants haggling and walking down the streets was enough to make any child be filled with wonder.
I remember the day I had to sail away from the sanctuary of my island home with my mother to escape being discovered. I was around three when it all happened. My mother had dressed me in lots of layers saying that we had to take as much as we could without looking suspicious. I had my hair tied in pigtails and wore the little ladybug earrings my mother had given me. I said my final goodbyes to my friends and was put on a small boat with my family. We were the most powerful Ladybug miraculous descendants,so we were respected.
I watched as the army of the Moth miraculous bombed out the peaceful settlement that housed the descendants of the Ladybug miraculous. Most had fled to the destination of France and then spread out from there. My mother,grandfather and I were the only survivors,of my knowledge,from the long voyage in our boat,but even my mother wasn't doing too well.
She then led me to a bakery and knocked on the door. A couple answered and smiled when they saw me.
"Are you sure it's for the best?"The woman asked my mother,"She needs to be with her mother,not her Auntie."
"Yes,"She looked at me,"Let her read this book from now,it'll teach her all she needs to know. She mustn't forget her past,for if she does we'll all die."
With those final words she handed them a book and a bag. She then picked me up and hugged me tightly,tears falling down her cheeks.
"Mummy what's wrong?"I say seeing her tears,"Don't cry!"
"I'm sorry Mari!"She hugged me tighter as if it was the last time she'd hold me,"Never forget me,us or our history. You're our last hope. Remember I did this for you and I will always love you no matter what anyone says." She then let go of me and I realised what was happening.
"No!"I squeal holding onto her,"Don't go! Please mummy!" I saw the tears slid down her cheeks exactly how my own were.
"I'm sorry Mari,"She whispered kissing my forehead before passing me to the woman,"Please look after her."
The couple nodded and led me inside. I tried my best to get out of their grasp,but nothing worked. I just sighed as I watched my family walk out of my life and leave me with my distant relatives.
I never saw my village again and as for the Ladybug miraculous descendants, most had disappeared. As far as I was aware I was the only one left. My mother never returned and now I'm pretty sure she's dead. Most of the other miraculous clans have gone into hiding too,with only the Peacock and Moth being out in the open,as the Peacocks went into submission when their leader was defeated.
There were some good ones like Duusuu and Nooroo and they trained others but the world was never the same. I sighed as I surveyed the world around me. Only I knew of this history about the downfall of the Ladybugs and I felt alone. Even other miraculous clan members couldn't understand the pain I feel at just the mention of magic,let alone the use of it.
