The Killer and the Witch (Mordechai)

They had told her she was always magical. She was conceived during a ritual of their one true pantheon. Yet she was born on Samhain. Which to the coven meant she was a prodigy. No one
had thought this was a bad sign. For this meant she was born on the New Year. She was death and birth all at the same time. She was the child that was supposed to control the fates of the
witches.
The minute she took her first breath the coven controlled her. The blue eyed baby with the bright yellow hair. Her parents were not even allowed to raise her and strangely they were
okay with that. The minute her mother birthed her she went straight to the eldest in her coven.The coven that worshipped the sun. The goddess in which wore stones of yellow, the god who wore gold all over his body. The coven that shunned the night.
Mornir could remember the elders sitting with her. She could remember being punished each time she snuck out to speak to the moon. To gaze at the beauty. The elders would begin
teaching her simple spells at the age of three. They would praise her dote on her. Her hair would be braided with such delicacy flowers of the sun would be placed in it. With each day thatpassed the little girl would become stronger. Spells would begin to become more powerful and the coven knew that this young witch would lead them or so they thought.
Around the age of sixteen her hair had begun to darken. All the witches whispered on how the sun was leaving the young witch’s body. As she continued to do spells they would realize
marks would appear on her body. The marks of the evil would begin to tattoo onto her body or so they thought. In turned out that when she loved something so much they would appear onto her skin.
As months turned into years the young witch became a woman. A woman who had never been outside on her own. The woman who was home schooled and watched over like a hawk because they were afraid of her. Raven hair cascaded over her shoulders as ice blue eyes peered at them all. The prodigy had turned into the sinner. The fates of the witches were doomed. Many had questioned what they had done wrong. Others began to take their own life.
They did not wish to disappoint the sun goddess and god with having the daughter of the darkness in their coven. Her own parents were one of these. The guilt and shame filled them so
much Mornir had found their body in the temple. A note apologizing to the elders for the disgrace they had birthed. Anger filled her. Rage that burned so deep in her soul that the candles burst into flames. Flames so high that the temple began to wither from the heat and would soon would crumble to the ground as she stood in the middle and watched. How could those she loved so much hurt her like this? She had not asked for black hair. She had not asked for any of this. Yet they had pushed it upon her. They had pushed her so far they were going to pay. They wanted darkness she was going to give it to them.
They called it the new moon. The moon in which was not shown. The moon that was so black no one could see it for it was getting ready to appear in the next few days. The coven circled the woman in the middle. All their eyes bore into her soul judging her for everything she had done. Blood soaked the floor they were standing on. The walls around them were scorched with flames. Many of the coven lay dead as Mornir stood boring back at them, making their bodies cringe in fear.
“I have never done a thing wrong to anyone and yet because of my hair…my skin you forsake me. My own parents ended their life because of you. Because of how you perceive
me!”
Her voice echoed the walls as the elders began to chant.
“You will leave here. You will never return. You will be banned to the city of the damned. Where the darkness lives. Where the dead rise and worship the moon. You will forever be cursed by
the coven of the sun. May the goddess have mercy with your soul, Mornir.”
With that the coven disappeared and she stood in a new place. A place she had never seen before a place where the moon was so beautiful she couldn’t help but fall in love. Turning in circles she began to walk around. She had no clue where she was going but shedidn’t care. She had a bag with all her belongings and that was all that mattered.
