"If you believe your mother was a black mage when she gave birth to you, I think it is possible if she was from the first generation of black mages," Alec said which caught Lauren's attention.
"But how is that possible? The first generation of black mages was from thousands of years ago, Alec."
The history books said that back in time when the art of spells just emerged and mages were still developing their spellcasting abilities, a priestess with divine powers had gone insane due to evil forces. She cursed a family of mages who became the first black mages. Because they were turned by the curse and not by tapping forbidden spells, they didn't run wild. Their heart didn't stop beating as if they were normal mages, but the thirst for a human's soul made them turn to the dark side.
