Then, it would be time for Kristie, Jess, and Elizabeth to get to their own places.

I went inside the house with Onee-chan, and Mother was there, cooking dinner as usual. Then Father would come home.

This way of life is quite normal and unexciting I must admit... but that was never a bad thing. As common and uneventful as it was, I enjoyed having a normal life, it's something to treasure. That was until I found that I had that a life that would be far exceeding normal.

Often, Mother would be telling me a story or two, or even talking about how to be a girl.

But today was different.

Mother sat me down, along with Father and Onee-chan.

"S-Should we tell her yet? I mean, Mother, she's still very young, not to mention that she's a bright and healthy girl capable of living a normal life." Onee-chan shook her head in slight disagreement.

"No, I believe it's best to tell her now. From the start, she lost all possibilities of living the life of an average person. If we kept the truth from her for too long, that would only hurt her more." Mother closed her eyes in displeasure.

Father kept silent. He seemed like he knew what they were talking about, but didn't want to say a word.

"Lucia." Mother chanted out my full name. She was serious. "You are of Rosellius blood. You are Lucia Rosellius."

I looked in bewilderment. I didn't know what 'Rosellius' was, nor did I know what she meant by that. What, was I adopted or something?

"The Rosellius carry a legacy like no other blood line, not even the royal blood line knows of it. We've held a burden from the very start. Your sister, you, and me, we were all cursed from birth." Mother looked behind her, to make sure the only people behind her were Onee-chan and Father. "The Rosellius are the descendants of the first very few wizards who have sworn to dedicate their existence to protect the origin of all magic, One Magic. You and your sister are connected to the direct bloodline. So, you have to fulfill your duty as a Rosellius, and protect One Magic by all costs, even if it means your very life! And most of the time it will. It is our fate to walk down the path of solitude and darkness, whether we like it or not."

I just stared, and stared. Into the blankness of my confusion and I could feel my brain overflowing with precious information.

"Then, let me tell you... something you swear not to ever, ever tell anyone about." Mother stared at me with stern eyes. "Victoria! Escort your father out of this room and make sure no one overhears or enters this room. Do you hear me?"

"Y-Yes, Mother!" Victoria looked around, she seemed to know how important this was.

"Alright... I'll tell you. The place where you will find One Magic is..."

I widened my eyes. 'It's in a place like THAT?! I know it was a truly important thing, but-!'

"LUCY." Mother stared directly at me, snapping me out of being zoned out.

"Y-Yes!"

Then suddenly, Mother resumed to smiling warmly as usual like she didn't even say anything unusual.

"Time for bed, Lu-chan." And she came to tuck me to sleep.

There was so much to think about, so many questions dancing in my head.

However, I never knew that today would be the last day I would be able to live a normal life ever again.

5:13 A.M.

"LUCY!" I was startled and jumped up from my bed. Victoria slammed my bedroom door open.

"Eh?! W-What?!"

"HURRY UP. WE HAVE TO GO. NOW. WE'RE LEAVING THIS VILLAGE."

Mother had her precious, irreplacable items. And Father was waiting outside.

Soon, I saw smoke arising from a deadly, vibrant fire.

"Shit! We were late!" Victoria stared in concern. "MOTHER! WE HAVE TO GO!"

"I realize that!" Mother whipped out one of her keys. That was rare, she almost never used them.

"CAPRICORN!"

And like that, Victoria darted towards our destination quickly using 'Star Teleport', a spell that let its user move incredibly fast. Our destination was somewhere out of this falling village.

I saw people in the distance. Bad people. They were using magic weapons with including deadly lasers and Fire Arrows, as well as explosive lacrima. I tensed up. 'What are these people doing here?! WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO THE VILLAGE?!'

Mother started moving with haste. "Come, Lucia, we have to get out! Capricorn, fend off of those soldiers!"

"Yes, my lady." Swiftly, he defeated the soldiers who were in a threatening range.

Thinking I was following her, mother moved ahead, along with Father.

However, before I could step towards them, a thought hit my mind before I could step forward.

KRISTIE!

JESS!
