Witches had been a part of Celes and Gretchen's family line as far back as the line could be traced. But witches weren't their original titles back in the old country as they didn't perform black magic or summon the devil. Instead, they were healers and wise women who communed with natured and used their learnings to help others. Once the roman empire came to power however and spread their influence over the lands, witches had a harder and harder time surviving as the townspeople who used to live next to them and beg their help, quickly forgot about all the good they did in times of need once the rewards were offered for their capture.
No other object in life can turn a man's heart faster than that of glittering gold. Despite this, the line of witches survived. They hid and lived solitary lives, apart from the rest of the word. After the final fall of the empire, when the world was again in chaos, covens sought to again go out into the world and make peace with the people.
