" What went wrong with the spell? Where's my mother? What happened to my brother?" A confused Vivi asked.
" My great grandmother was one of the most powerful witch at that time. Our bloodlines came from the most ancient lineage of witches... good witches. Don't be confused with bad and good witches. Bad witches were the source of curses, diseases, evil eyes, misfortunes and all things bad. The role of the good witches were to put balance and order in place because if we didn't do it, the spirits of the nature will be upset. We heal, we help, we fight those bad witches and undo their wrongdoings.
My great grandma had a fierce enemy, a bad witch named Cressida. She assisted those men in capturing my Nana and she messed up the spell that she was performing. She cursed the both of us to sleep forever and to not wake up at all but my Nana did everything she could to reverse before those men captured her and burned her alive.
In the end, she managed to cast a spell that would enable us to wake up on your 18th birthday... as a vampire of course... so we slept for the past 800 years. Remember what I told you before that one 1 year for human is like a hundred years for vampires. You were just 10 years old when it happened ( vampire age).
Nana asked a distant cousin of mine to look for your mother and to tell her everything that happened." Ash explained.
" But how did you the details of what happened while I couldn't remember a lot?" Vivi asked.
" Ohhh... My Nana's spirit stayed with us the whole time we were sleeping and was always visiting me in my dreams, telling me stories, riddles... Witches have natural instinct to feel the presence of spirits around them.
She protected us so many times so other people wouldn't discover us inside this ark.In the eyes of the ordinary people, this is just an ancient vault with no keys and couldn't be open... But in reality, this is a magical vessel that hid our bodies while we were sleeping. This vessel survived the test of time and was submerged under water for a long period of time before some divers discovered it.. But they didn't know that we were inside because Nana's spell made us invincible to human eyes." Ash narrated.
And your brother... the last thing I heard that he was able to flee his captors. When the traitors killed your father, they immediately attacked your brother's palace and murdered his young family.
Rumours had it that he managed to escape... while other servants swore that they saw his dead body so I'm not really sure about his fate. She added.
" How about my mother? Did she managed to survive?" Vivi asked.
" That's the thing that we have to find out now that you're awake. " Ash explained.
