Chapter 1: NIGHTMARE
The day she was born was also the day misery befalls the Heartfilia household.
Long ago, in the vast lands of Fiore, lived the richest and wealthiest man and woman in the world, Jude and Layla Heartfilia. The two had been married for so long that they longed to have a child. One day, their wishes were granted as the family doctor had announced that the queen of the household is pregnant. But then, the doctor added that the pregnancy will be difficult for the queen and the unborn child because of the queen's poor health. The doctor emphasized that the pregnancy will be sensitive to the point that the queen and the child's life will be on the line. The doctor recommends the queen to have a complete bed rest and to not push herself for the time being. The king was so angry because they can't do anything about the queen's conditions and because of the doctor's uselessness that he ordered their guards to arrest the man immediately. The queen calmed the king down and just thanked the doctor for giving such a great news. The doctor left the household safely. Meanwhile, the king had gathered all the wisest man in the world to ask for a solution to their dilemma. He wants the queen to deliver their unborn child safely and to not risk her own life. The wise men were also empty handed which made the king angrier. But one of the wise men spoke.
"There is this lake that can ensure madam Layla's safe pregnancy." The short wise men with chubby face and green eyes said. The other men in the room protested on the idea and gave their disapproval. The king silenced them up and encouraged the man to continue. "But that lake was within the property of the most evil, darkest female mage in Fiore. It's in the enchanted forest! No one who had entered that forest had come back alive!" the man continued.
The king posted requests on every guild there is with a great amount of reward. Only the bravest had tried but no one had accomplished to bring even a single drop of water from the lake. It has been three months since the king posted the requests and it's the fourth month of the queen's pregnancy. The queen's condition was worsening and the king was now frustrated. He doubled the reward and personally asked the guild masters to accept the quest. Still, his acts were no good. He even came to the point that he wanted to do the job himself but was stopped by his wife. The whole household were losing hope. But one day, a guard found a bottle outside the estate's gates with a letter attached to it.
"The bottle contains what you need."
The guard hurriedly reported it to the king and the king immediately called the wise men to inspect the water. They were positive that it really is what they need. The king immediately went to his wife's side and let her have a sip on the said water. Miraculously, the queen instantly gained her colours back. She kissed her husband and thanked him. Everybody cheered as the news spread everywhere in Fiore. A few months later, the big day has come.
Everyone was wearing a smile that day. No one in Fiore was not informed that the heiress of the Heartfilia household was born on that day. The maids and butlers are restless. The whole country was celebrating. The story of the miraculous survival of Madam Layla and her daughter was all over the country. The rumours are exaggerating. But nevertheless, the after story was more important. The day the princess was born. It was like a fairy tale. Happily ever after.
Jude and Layla Heartfilia was the happiest of them all that day. They were very happy to the extent that they had decided to conduct the most extravagant party of all. Even the kings and queens of different lands were honoured that they were invited on the said party. Everyone was busy. They were choosing the most extravagant suits and gowns they could wear. It will be the party of the century.
There are thirteen royal families in Fiore. The household heads decided to invite all of them but the elders of the household were superstitious ones. They believe that thirteen means bad luck and it could bring despair in the household. They advised the couple to only invite twelve.
"But who should we exclude?" the queen asked. "Will they be dishonoured if we exclude them in the list?"
"I advise to exclude the most unsociable one of the thirteen. She will not attend even if we invite her anyway." One elder suggested.
The couple followed the elders' advice and invite only twelve of the royal family. Everything runs fine until the very day of the party. The kings and queens who wore their most extravagant gowns and suits attended the party. Everyone was amazed on how wonderful the party is. But when the party reached its climax and the couple introduced their daughter to the crowd, darkness enveloped the room. Powerful winds blew the windows open and shattered the glasses. Lightning begin to form as if a storm was coming. The crowd were frightened. Then, they heard an evil laugh coming from the uppermost window. They all looked up and saw a figure of a woman wearing black. Everyone gasped as the figure jumped and was now falling towards them but the figure suddenly vanished. A second later and the people at front squeaked in fear. The figure was now in front of the couple. Layla hurriedly grabbed her daughter from her crib while Jude hugged the two of them. Tension was now building at the place. At last, the unwanted visitor spoke.
"How dare you exclude me on this party?" she exclaimed with fierce. She was now snarling at the couple like a snake ready to bite.
"WHO ARE YOU? GUARDS! WHERE ARE THE GUARDS?" Jude Heartfilia shouted.
"Guards? Do you think those weakling can handle me? The strongest female mage of Fiore? Now answer me? How dare you dishonour me?" the woman said. As she said her last sentence, thunder roared the skies which made the crowd all gasp. Jude Heartfilia was speechless. He doesn't know what to respond on the angered mage.
"Don't want to talk eh? You excluded me on the list! And now, I'll make you regret your actions! After someone stole those water on my forest! Now, you didn't even invite me? I'm also one of the royal families of this land!" The mage said now ready to strike the newly formed family.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to hurt y…" Layla tried but was interrupted by the female mage.
"SORRY? DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT? YOU DISHONOURED ME! AND NOW, ILL MAKE YOUR PRIDE PAY! THE ONE YOU VALUED THE MOST! THE ONE MOST PRECIOUS TO YOU! I'LL MAKE YOUR DAUGHTER CARRY ALL YOUR SINS! CARRY ALL YOUR BURDENS! A CURSE THAT COULD NEVER BE BROKEN! SHE WILL DIE! ON HER 18TH BIRTHDAY! SHE WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE LOVE! SHE WILL NEVER LIVE LONG TO SEE THE MORNING OF HER 18TH BIRTHDAY! SHE WILL EXPERIENCE DESPAIR! SHE WILL DIE IN PAIN!" the evil mage laughed moved her hands in the air and cast the curse on the sleeping child.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" a female voice echoed in the whole ballroom as a blonde mage woke up on her bed, panting from a nightmare she just had.
