For those that have read it before, I add somethings so if you want to reread it.

Chapter 1

Cedric had lived a very simple life as the Royal Sorcerer doing spells and potions for the royal family of Enchantia, unaware that his life was going to change in the most unexpected way.

It was warm and calm day in enchantia as the all the children were off to school or playing around in the village laughing with joy, obilivous to the horror what was happening around them as the parents muttered to eachother about a terrible thing that had happen in the forest.

A body of a woman was found in the woods, appeared to have been killed by a runaway carriage it was truly terrible.

When Cedric heard about the report from the King about how she died left him horrifed and shaken quite badly as he remembers the report.

Apparently Miranda was gather herbs the forest for food or other things, when an untied, horseless carriage sitting on a hill came racing down towards her, killing her instantly and well the person who discovered her, became ill at the grusome site.

As Cedric sat in his workshop crying and grieving the loss of his one and only ex-girlfriend, he was startled by a messager bird coming through his open window and dropping a letter address to him on his desk and leaving. He grabs the letter opener and unfolds the letter and instantly recognize the handwriting as Miranda's.

"Dear Cedric,

If you are getting letter, then I am dead and I need someone I know and trust will take care of my little girl, Sofia

Before I died I had you put down as a guardian in case of my untimely death and Sofia was still underage.

Please take her in and love her like your own daughter.

Yours

Miranda

Cedric quickly looks for the guardianship papers and saw that all they needed was his signature and then he had to have it sent off to be filed with the King's court.

Cedric stares at the letters in shock as he tried to understand what he just read and decided that he needed to act now and see if it was true.

The girl from what he heard, her name is Sofia and she was just a child and had no one to take her in, sending her to the local orphanage was the most logical step if no one had claim her as a relative or guardian of choice by her mother and when he received this letter written by her late mother stating that he was the girl's choice of guardian, he quickly goes to the King, explains the situation and take a carriage to the small village and with some help of the locals, he finds the orphanage that took her in and with the letter in hand, Cedric walks into the small building, narrowly avoiding the stampede of children that ran passed him.

"Oh! Hello, my name Ms. Raver and I am the head of this orphanage, how can I help you."

The woman who greeted him was of average height, with tanned skin and dark green hair with matching green eyes, wearing a simple white shirt and light black trousers with a white apron covering it.

Cedric give her letter along with guardianship papers and explains.

"I came here to receive my ward, Sofia who was put under my care as of today, can you please point me in her general direction and we can be on our way."

Ms Raver, looks at Cedric for a moment and waves towards a door that said Headmistress on it.

"Let's go talk in my office for a moment and I will have one of the staff send for Sofia, while we talk abit more in detail about your claim to her."

She gestures towards the door that said Headmistress on it.

Cedric gulps nervously as he makes his way inside the small office.

Why did he have the feeling that he was going to be discovering something truly shocking.
