At night,
In a room in a girls’ dormitory, a young girl, about fifteen years old, was crying in the dark of night in a small room lit by candlelight. She looked so sad, with small, suppressed sobs, as if she was afraid of waking the orphanage residents.
Alexa Jocelyn Heart was the name given to this beautiful girl. She had gorgeous hazel eyes, long chestnut brown wavy hair, and fair skin. On the left side of the back was a small unique birthmark, the Triple Moon [1], which others could not see. Even the young lady herself did not not know about it.
Aileen and Aileen are gone. They have got new parents. Even though they wanted me to join, they still felt different and chose not to adopt because they did not want to be a hassle. They were so lucky. How about me? Why did my parents have the heart to throw me away? Didn’t they know that I was really miserable living in the orphanage? Alexa remembered what had happened that afternoon, and this moment made her very sad.
Before Aileen, Adaline, Samuel, and Aiden, no child wanted to befriend a girl who looked different from me. I was isolated and bullied. Some of them, like Odessa and her groups, did not even hesitate to do physical harm. However, I realized that in the past few months, quite a few had experienced strange incidents, such as claiming they had been bitten by something and their legs were swollen. Everyone except my four best friends is afraid to befriend a peculiar kid like me. Alexa thought sadly.
“Mom, Dad, I miss you so much. Don’t you want to meet me? Do you hate me because I was born differently from other people? I promise to be a good, obedient child and not fight anything you tell me. I really want to feel your warm embrace, but it is impossible,” she muttered, lamenting her unfortunate fate.
Moonlight could be seen because the window in the room was wide open. At that time, in the sky, the moon that appeared was a perfectly round, beautiful full moon, like seeing the sun’s reflection, but in a different shape. The atmosphere in the room became cold and dark. Alexa was only accompanied by moonlight.
A young woman, with three faces and bodies, but all united, seemed to appear mysteriously from the bright and enchanting moonlight. She entered the room of a twelve-year-old girl who was still crying bitterly because she missed her parents, who had abandoned her in an orphanage. No one wanted to be friends with her except Samuel, Aiden, Aileen, and Adaline. Unfortunately, her two female friends were gone.
“Alexa,” that mystical voice called.
Alexa then turned towards the source of the sound. For a moment, she was stunned because she saw a strange woman with a peculiar appearance appear at the window, not far from where she was curled up under the bed.
“Wh… who are you?” she asked, confused.
That immortal goddess approached the young girl who looked confused: her face and nose were red, and her eyes were puffy from crying a lot. Alexa did not seem afraid at all; in fact, she remained silent as if waiting to see what the foreign woman would do.
Now, the mysterious woman stopped right in front of Alexa, who lacked parental affection. She did not answer the maiden’s question, and her expression, which was initially flat, now looked a little different because the Queen of Witches smiled at the person she was talking to. The immortal goddess then stretched out her right hand from the front of her body. She placed it on the head of the girl who was suffering psychologically.
“Alexa, do not be sad. You will be a strong, tough, and brave girl. In the future, you will become the greatest wizard in history, and many other wizards who are lost and have no direction will come to learn from you. The parents you miss will come alone, so do not be afraid. Miracle after miracle will always accompany and be present in your life.” A woman, with three pairs of hands, began to speak softly as if blessing Alexa.
That beautiful girl fell silent. She felt an electric current entering her body, which caused an extraordinary sensation. Alexa did not feel afraid or horrified at all. Still, she remained silent and thought that the strange woman placing her hands on her head was a goddess who came from the sky and blessed her directly.
“Alexa, everyone who intends to hurt you will die if you say that directly. When people reach out to do evil, the evil will immediately turn back on themselves. Your life path will never be easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s always difficult. I will always accompany you wherever you go. With this, I remove all the seals that cover your entire body so that you can follow the destiny outlined for you.” The Goddess of Witchcraft completes her blessings to the teenage girl.
The foreign woman immediately changed her position to be alert. The three pairs of eyes glowed, and then a dagger appeared magically from within Alexa’s body, on her left rib. She pulled the dagger quickly so it did not hurt the girl.
Meanwhile, the hazel-eyed girl almost screamed because she felt pain all over her body. She felt weak and helpless, and then his tiny body lay on the hard wooden floor. The goddess who saw this as soon as possible gave the water that emerged from her right hand to Alexa’s entire body. The water did not wet the body because it was immediately absorbed into it, so it remained dry, not soaking wet.
“Alexa, I will always watch over you, and there is no need to be afraid. I give you power in your mouth and in both hands so that you can subdue anything and anyone, and no one else can do whatever they want.” The strange woman promised.
A flame appeared in the woman’s left hand, and then the right hand from the left side of the body stretched towards Alexa so that the girl was lying on a hard bed and no longer on the floor.
Her left hand containing the fire was directed towards Alexa’s two arms so that they split in two and entered the palm of the girl’s hand. For a moment, there was only silence, solitude, and emptiness. The moonlight shone brighter and then slowly disappeared behind the clouds.
The mysterious woman with a strange appearance also disappeared from Alexa’s room as the moonlight faded because clouds in the sky had covered it.
