Janine, The Daughter of the Horned One
#
Rosanne Hathaway was born during the Second War. Her mother, Merida FitzRoy, had followed the example of the English Crown Princess and joining the Army in the Army Auxiliary Corps, at 16, recently graduated from the Academy Robert The Brave, which formed auxiliary guardians (she lied about her age, but they did not notice it). She was there when she met the moroi John Hathaway, a young lieutenant of the RAF. Carried away by the adrenaline of the moment, they made a wedding war - to get a few days off. Merida had Rosanne when John was at the front and died in battlefield, leaving her widowed at 18.
#
Rosanne never went to an academy. Her mother put her in a normal, human school, to get her away from the stigma of the dhampir women (Merida was never a guardian, but a war veteran and had a daughter with a moroi). But Rosanne was restless, very unfocused, and preferred to be among the green meadows of Scotland than in a classroom, learning how to do maths. She still approved her classes year after year. But with her hitting the puberty, changed her natural rhythm and was more similar of a forest fairy than a normal girl. Her dhampir blood was evident in her body shape and sharp senses and her concentration was focused on physical activities - dance, gymnastics - more than on academics. She was only 17 years old when, driven by her curiosity, provoked with her actions that her life changed from Earth to Moon. She became a mother to a beautiful girl named Janine, with brown eyes like her own and the red hair of the moroi with which she fathered her.
#
Rosanne was only 16 years old when she escaped from her home to go to The Beltane Fire Festival in Calton Hill and have fun and was caught in the magic of the Festival and the ancient Celtic rituals. Although growing among humans, she obviously knew about the morois and was dazzled by a young moroi of about 17 years, of dark red hair and deep green eyes, dressed as the Horned One. Carried away by the heat of the moment, they lost their virginity awkwardly together, entangled and silent in a bed of straw, hidden behind a bright tent, where a Wicca interpreted the Tarot to those who left her gifts of differents things (this was the energy of the Primordial Festivals, where the morois, dhampirs, humans and Wicca - humans who learned and practiced magic, for real, all together and mixed for a single night each season) gathered together.
#
"What happens in Beltane, is honored", her mother told her when she saw her arrive; disheveled, flushed, big brown eyes open as been a deer caught in headlights and smelling of wet and green grass. And she was not wrong. Rosanne was pregnant, but her always practical mother did not care and supported her completely. The first thing was to go back to school and finish her education, carrying her baby inside her.
#
He was not there. At school. And she never saw him again. She never knew who he was. But a LeFay - a seer of the Merida's Clan - told her that hers was not just a libertine experience. It was the Horned One, an archetypal figure sent to procreate with the Maiden Huntress and her baby was blessed by the ancient gods.
#
Janine Merida Hathaway was born in her grandma's house. She had a lock of a fiery red hair, and her eyes would be like her mom's when she defined them. Beltane, Rossane would say seeing that hair so different from her own, influencing Janine's fierce nature and fire-red hair.
#
Rosanne - first - and then her little daughter Janine, grew up listening to Merida's experience in war time. Janine dreamed of replicating them, dreamed of being like her, a tall and beautiful Scottish warrior, and, hopefully, with her grandma's blue eyes. But, sadly for her, hers were of a chestnut colour with a touch of green that was only seen in the direct sunlight, and that had always disappointed her. That and her height, of course. She seemed more like a fairy of the forest (that's how short she was, like her mom) than a tall and beautiful warrior, according to herself.
#
Anyway, she begged to go to an academy (considering that her grandma had also attended one, until she was 16 years old), because the training would help her enter the army and be a soldier. Merida called in some favors, made some calls and got a place at the small academy Robert The Brave, founded after the first war by dhampirs and Scottish morois, war heroes. From there she had graduated, weeks before going to war.
#
The Academy received more dhampirs than morois, had a minimum standard for them but optimal for the dhampirs. In addition, it had a daytime schedule and was an externship for those who required it. There, Janine was formed until she was 16 years old, graduating as Auxiliary Guardian. The Auxiliary guardians were those who did administrative work and could continue to become Guardians as such, in the Official Academies.
#
Her excellent results led her to be accepted at the Academy of St. George, in England, to complete her training as a Guardian. She entered at 17, with a backpack full of dreams and little or nothing to her name.
#
It was there that she met the arrogant Ibrahim Mazur. 18 years old, senior, moroi, rich and very exotic in appearance, as his skin was the color of almonds (the morois were always pale, tall and very thin), eyes and dark hair (almost like the color of ripe chestnuts), very tall and with a firm and chiseled body. His voice was deep and his accent as exotic as everything in him, as he was Turkish.
#
Ibrahim was very feared, as a son of the dark Mustafa Mazur. It was said that the Mazur trafficked everything they could get their hands on, some whispered that it included people.
###
Senescal: I took the idea of the Lord of the Rings, the father of Boromir was the Ruling Steward of Gondor, the Regent in the absence of the King. Senescal is what was called in spanish and I kept this word.
The crown princess to which I mentioned is Queen Elizabeth II, when she was only a princess, in World War II, she joined the Female Auxiliary Corps and learned mechanics.
FitzRoy An ancient custom to name the illegitimate children of a king in England. Merida Fitzroy descends from King Robert The Bruce in this story.
Robert The Brave is King Robert The Bruce of Scotland, ancestor of the European royal lines and defender of his kingdom against the English Crown.
The Horned One I took it from Mists of Avalon.

Coming soon in chapter 2:
"Ibrahim put his eyes on Janine, the same Ibrahim, who would inherit a dark empire, who courted Renee Szelsky and who had no place for affections."
