Chapter 2: A New Life

Now the year is 2006 and I still look the same as I did in 1342. I have traveled the world to many great places. But my favorite was Japan. I also went to Okinawa and learned Shotokan karate. Karate is a system of fighting developed on the island of Okinawa and in Japan based upon punching, kicking, blocking, and striking an opponent utilizing the rules of physics to maximize the damage caused by each blow.

Since then I have had a daughter. Her name is Isabell and now is the age of six. Her father had pasted away a few years ago. She has just begun developing her elemental powers. I fear for my daughter though. With the outside world so cruel to witches, I'm not sure how people would act with her.

I have just begun teaching her how to levitate but she hasn't mastered that quite yet. She is very good with wand to wand combat though. I have given her the color pink broom for enlightenment.

Today was our weekly flying lesson.

"First you mount your broom." Doing so.

"Got it" She said as she imitating the move.

"Now you want to let go of all your displeasure."

"OK" As she tried to relax her self.

"Now you want to take a deep breathe and feel
like your floating and it will come naturally."

Try as she might she could not get more than 2 inches of the ground.

"That's no way to teach a child," said a distant but familiar voice. I had turned around to see who it was, but no one was there. "That was strange" I thought to myself.

"Oh, come on you can do better than that" There was the voice again but now I know how it was.

"Oh, and you can do better" said another voice. Out of the shadows came my two sisters. Olga and Tialia.

"Who are these people mom?" said my daughter.

"Mom??" said Olga and Tialia in unison. "When did you have a daughter?"

"Long story, but I can tell you the shorter version."

After I tell my sisters of my lover and how we had a daughter, they had asked where he was now. I had only replied with one word, Kami Kashi. Kami Kashi is feared by many people. He has recently tried killing my daughter when she was only a baby, but had failed. My husband had given himself up for our daughter, Isabell. We have tried to get ride of Kami Kashi but not have ever succeeded. They two lost people they loved to Kami Kashi.

"Ok...um...what's your name again?" asked Olga

"Isabell"

"Oh yes. That's it; I knew it would come to me."

"Now let's get started on your flying lessons. First I want you to get on my broom show I can so you what it's like to fly..." said Talia.

"Wait before anyone does anything," said Olga," I don't think that would be a good idea. Even though you're good at flying Talia, your broom is not very reliable."

"Well your broom isn't any better." said Talia under her breath.

"I heard that!" screamed Olga.

"Fine we'll use Rouges."

"Wait! What, why mine? It's not like its special or anything." Even though I was lying.

"Come on mom please, oh please, oh please?"

"Fine but I'm going with you." I mounted on top of my broom while Isabell was still struggling. Talia had to give her a boost. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath...

"Will you hurry up already!!" said Talia and Olga in unison.

After I was rudely interrupted, I placed my hands on to the rounded tip of my broom and whispered back to Isabell...

"Hold on."

We began to rise and Isabell realized she really did need to hold on. The trees began to shake and move. I saw Talia and Olga done on the ground hold each other until we take of. I looked behind me to see if Isabell was ready to go. She was. I pulled back the broom and we flew right above the trees. We were going a bit too fast because Isabell had burrowed her face into my back to break the wind.

"I told you to hang on!" I told her trying to over come the sound of the roaring wind.

She didn't reply back.

"Isabell... Isabell!"
