I was born in a small village in the country side
With the supernatural ability to control and make ice
I was praised as a genius since I was young
I eventually decided to go travel and explore the world
But as years go by
Things changed but I didn't
It seemed my supernatural ability wasn't what it was but an Authority
A power that transcends mortals
It gave me a long lifespan but a frozen heart
I was called a Witch by many during my travels because of my infamy
But when I returned to my village
I received welcome and praise from people I could barely recognize
As I matured, they had aged
They told me that we were family and family protect each other
They share their pain and help one another no matter what
That was the day I embraced my title as a Witch
It warmed my heart to know deep down that my family would always be there for me
I made a hug tree made of ice that covered the whole forest area
It sparked of hanging jewels that dazzled the children
I would forever remember each member of the village and record their memories deep inside my heart
Each newborn would be given a small ice orbs that would record their life to the very end
It would let me know if they were ever in danger or turmoil
I would be their guardian and storyteller
I would sing praises of their ancestors and share their memories and purpose
Guide those who were lost
I brought joy to others and their laughter and joy brought happiness to me
I found purpose in my job
It has been a tradition in this village for so long that it no longer became a small village
It flourished into a city with my home at the center tree that sheltered it from the weather below
Archmages and Sword masters and all the rest came to so they would be remembered
Their families either died or abandoned themselves so they wished to be apart of my city
I gave them what they wished for and they cried tears of joy
I loved this world I worked hard to make
It was a beautiful thing
"Find the Witch!"
But all beautiful things end
"Kill all these sinners!"
As time passed and my city was made, so was a kingdom
I never made contact with the outside world and I believe it was better not too
I guess I was right
"Kill all the heretics!"
The king of this era is named Urtak Aurenias
He spread rumors of an evil witch who corrupts a village and worships demons
It worked and I didn't know at all
I tried to defend my family but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't
If I were to unleash all my power I could get rid of them but at the cost of my peoples lives
My family became a double edged sword and I had to watch them perish as they tried to protect me
I made sure to store all their memories
When no one was left, I turned my back on the city and ventured off to the tree
Whoever tried to enter died but one man stormed in unafraid
He broke through all the walls and traps and eventually reached my chamber
"Are you ready to die you Evil Witch!"
I look at him
He had platinum blonde hair and silver eyes
"Your the evil one of took my peoples lives!"
"I never controlled anyone, I never worshiped the demons, I never harmed anyone!"
"All lies, my father told me that you were a trickster that convinced others with your magic!"
He points a sword at my throat
"All you do is harm others, all you spew are lies!"
"The only lies I've said are the one's your father told you little Prince!"
The blade started turning into ice and shattered into a million pieces
"Look upon me and see the truth, see my past and history, the very truth."
The shards of ice started to gather in the air and formed a pristine mirror
It was spotless and when he he gazed at it
He saw everything
He saw the world and it's entirety
The truth she found of existing
Her unique profound experience
Her entire history flashed in his eyes
This Witches life held value equivalent of a ruler
She was a kind and warm ruler that cared for her citizens
But soon things would flash to a grey castle
A baby was present there and was crying
The next was a small child swinging a sword with several men
And a plump elderly man giving orders to the grown child
"Cassius, you are to leave the Aurenius Kingdom and slay that demonic being."
"Yes King Father, I'll return with the head of that Witch!"
As he walked away the king continues muttering to himself
"Like that dimwit is my son, he's foolish enough to believe in my lies. Soon enough he'll bring me glory and fame as a righteous emperor."
Then everything starts returning back
Back to the desolate and quiet ice palace
No sound was made or heard
"Have you seen enough!?"
"What is this!?"
"The truth!"
The Witch scowls at this pathetic Prince
"My truth and your truth as well."
He starts panicking
"But this isn't possible."
"Father would never lie, he always told me stories and legends and guided me."
The Witch screamed from frustration
"GET OVER YOURSELF YOU IDIOT!!!"
"I've looked over your memories and have seen nothing but abuse and discipline, you were never a family."
He starts crying
"No, it's not true."
"Well it is, have a look."
The mirror flashed and the very memories he tried to push down resurfaced
The truth was ingrained into his head and body
The pain and trauma left scars on him and he didn't know
"Put wrong from right, fix this mess that your father made."
"Only then will things be together."
Cassius looks at the Witch
She was completely disheveled and messy
Her face was in pain and grief
"What is a family?"
He asked gently
"I showed you before, would you like to see again?"
"I'd appreciate it."
The mirror flashed once more and more tears were brought from him
"I don't deserve to cry, do I?"
"Then fix this, end my life and avenge it by taking your King's life!"
"Why? Your the most hurt yet you don't cry. It's so sad and miserable for you."
They look solemnly at each other
"I'll take your life and promise you his life, but promise me that you'll remember me as well, not as a Prince but a lost boy."
She smiles
"I promise you."
The mirror starts shattering and forms a small ball above his head
When he looks at it, he could see his life flashing inside until it overlaps with the current time
It starts falling and lands on his face
"Ouch!?"
"Hehe, just a little parting gift child."
As she said that
The room started glowing and small orbs much similar to before started arriving inside
It starts collecting in the middle of the room and envelopes the Witch
Slowly the Icy Memories start to fade inside of her including his memories
"I'm ready now."
He nods and takes what's left of his broken blade and swings at her neck
She slowly bleeds out and her eyes drain of life
"I'm sorry, but remember me Witch."
