Daughters of Avalon

After the fire that had ravaged the museum, Nolwen was sent to Avalon in order to heal. The trouble was that she was famous for her researches on the witchcraft in medieval time and as curator of the International museum of witchcraft and wizardry but as a daughter of the moon she could not be seen anymore.
“You will have to disappear, for the rest of the world you must be dead”
“I know, I’m sorry I failed the moon mistress”
“Do not be sorry child, nothing could have prevented what happened, the children of the night were too eager to destroy the daughter of the high priestess of Avalon!”
“What do you want me to do ?”
“I think that a reshape of your face will be necessary, you’re too famous to stay as you are ! People must never know who you are ! Besides, I don’t think you want the scars and burns on your face to remain,”
“ No I don’t”
“ Fine it settled then ! you will go with Neferit in one on our medical facility where they will proceed to the change !”
“Thank you ……” a tensed blank fell and the Serena the High priestess broke it !
“What is the most difficult ? To say it or to acknowledge it ? “
“I know it”
Is that so difficult to say then?”
“No ! Thank you ……. Mother !” warming the heart of her mother with those last words Nolwen leaved the high priestess of the moon and followed Neferit to her new destiny


It was dark outside, the rain pouring against the windows Nolwen was lost, hurt but also furious. How had she managed to get involve with a Child of the night and not even knowing it? But she had to admit that Drake has been a very good actor playing the lover for so long. Two years she dated him and not even once has she sensed the darkness within him. She trusted him with so many secrets, and at the end she gave him the most guarded secret about her, and that’s when all hell brake loose. He started to change, asking her so any questions, and one night as she was working late at the museum, he came with others just like him and they tried to kill her, destroying the museum in their attempt at getting at her. Years of history had been destroyed that night. But most of all her heart and pride have been destroyed in the process.
She felt betrayed of course, but she knew that she had to move on. She was not alone, Neferit has been kind helping her, bringing her to the medical facility. The priestesses and all the persons knowing her were waiting for her to be whole again, her mother expected her to take her place at her side.

A little girl suddenly entered her room with a book.
“Would you like to hear a story ?
“No thank you”
“oh ! But it’s a very good book, besides I don’t know well how to read;”
Nolwen looked at this girl, she has bright brown eyes, eyes so full of hope, she could not send her away ;
“All right I will have to teach you to read better then”
The little girl gave her the book and as she saw the cover Nolwen had a moment of pause, it was the story of Arthur and the round table, every priestess had a copy of the book telling the story of their ancestors.

‘what’s your name ?” asked Nolwen to the girl !
“Ava”
“I see that you found your apprentice ?” Nerferit said entering the room, she has been so silent Nolwen has not even heard her.
“Your mother thought that you would heal faster if you had someone to take care of”
“my mother should mind her own business”
“Watch it girl ! You are her business as we all are ! She may be your mother but first she is high priestess of the moon, guardian of Avalon !
You’re too young to care now but maybe it’s time for you to grow up and face your destiny and responsibilities”
With those rash words she stormed out of the room letting Nolwen to deal with her new young charge.
