Serena is a witch, a real witch, she always admits generously, but not many people believe it.

At the age of sixteen, the power of witches was officially awakened—the spread of death and pestilence.

She used to live in a peaceful mountain village, not too far from Lisbon, and in the words of the city people, she was a country child, and her greatest joy was running in the fields every day and watching her father work in the fields.

Their home was a humble wooden house built by her father, which provided them with shelter from the elements, and her mother often joked that it might be better to get a carpentry job in the city than to farm.

By the way, there are also two pigs at home, which my mother is responsible for every day.

Every year before Christmas, my father would catch two pigs and ride on an ox cart from the farmer's house next door to the big city of Lisbon.

It was the happiest day of the year, and in the evening, my father would bring back two piglets from the city, and many small gifts, and Serena would have new clothes to wear.

There is a large patch of lavender at the back of the house, and every spring, when the lavender blooms in the fields, the air is filled with the scent of flowers.

If nothing else, Serena would have grown up quietly and happily, and would have married a boy from the same village, or into the city, and her mother would always laugh and say, "Serena, you are a princess, and the girls of the city will not be more beautiful than you." ”

But all this was broken at the age of sixteen, and on the day she had just turned sixteen, she began to realize that she was different, and the flowers began to wither, the land became barren, and the trees of ** became rotten.

"What's wrong with me?"

She looked at her hands and made the decision she regretted most in her life, which was to run home.

After the parents knew about it, they just quietly hid it, and still loved their daughter.

"It is said that witches are hateful and kill countless people, but how can my daughter be such a person?"

Her father touched her head that night and said kindly, ignoring even the dark spots on her hands.

......

Three days, just three days, the sturdy father became ill, and the mother began to have dark spots on her body.

On that day, the doctors and priests who covered their mouths and noses with white cloths shook their heads, it was the Black Death, there was no cure at all, and the only thing they could do was to evacuate the rest of the village and prevent more people from becoming infected.

"Rats spread this disease, there's no cure, get out of here. ”

Everyone in the village wanted to take Serena with them, but she insisted on not leaving, because she knew that it was because of herself, and that she had brought it all in.

"Ahem, Serena, get out of here, you'll get the Black Death ...... too"

Her mother tried to push her away, but her father couldn't get out of bed and walk.

......

For three days, she had almost dried all her tears, and in the end her parents didn't even survive a week, and even the Black Death didn't kill people so quickly, and she dragged the bodies of her father and mother to bury them under lavender, and then lived here alone.

She did not dare to touch the others, and Serena, who was only fourteen years old, began to work with a hoe, but the plants withered here, and there was no harvest, and the once rich land became a dead land.

She didn't feel hungry either, she hadn't eaten for a long time, but she hadn't died, she was no longer human, but a witch.

During her time as a witch, she began to feel her own abilities and manipulatives, and she was even able to gradually see the dead souls of animals, infiltrating the earth and then entering Gaia.

Gaia, she didn't know why she knew this very unfamiliar name, but it suddenly appeared in her brain, and she began to learn a lot from it.

He was able to see a lot of things in the world, and learned how to divinate and understand his fate in the dark.

Three years passed, and the land became rich again, and the name of the village that had been moved back to the land, only the lavender and a girl, Serena, were seen.

The dead silence of the land was witnessed by someone, and Serena lived here for three years.

"She's a witch! His parents died because of her. ”

“......”

Serena was silent, she couldn't refute it at all.

Angry and frightened, the villagers brought in priests and soldiers, and searched for Serena all over the mountains.

She was a witch, but her physical fitness was not much better than that of a human, and her first awakening of power in her life killed her parents, which made her feel extremely disgusted and frightened by this power, and finally under the lavender, the soldiers rode her, arrested her, and handed her over to the so-called priest.

The priest recited some of the words of the gods, sprinkled some holy water, and then asked Serena to repent, her expression extremely reverent, really praying for her parents, repenting of her sins.

"Take it away!"

Amid the rough shouts and shoves of the soldiers, Serena was taken back again, because in this was an era of royal power, the king decided to put the witch on public trial, and then hang or burn her.

This is to prove that the world is under the control of the king, and that even witches who run rampant in the Middle Ages will eventually fall to the sharp blades of soldiers.

The greedy and rude soldier simply didn't believe that she was a witch, or that no one believed she was a witch except for the villagers who had seen the dead with their own eyes.

One dark night, the soldier quietly opened the door of the cell, trying to vent his desires in this beautiful woman.

"Since you're dying, why don't you enjoy this last bit of beauty. ”

"You know, I'm a witch?"

Serena smiled at the rude and dirty man in front of her, she had not seen the dark side of human nature, but she saw that this man's face was extremely ugly.

The soldier's ending was not the same as that of the patrol soldier, the soldier directly bit off the thumbs of his two hands under Serena's control, and then bit and swallowed, the scene was extremely bloody, but the soldier was like eating a delicacy.

Manipulating people's minds was a power she learned in the next three years, and although she feared and hated it, she had to admit that it was a great, esoteric, seductive power, and very useful.

Every time Serena can't help but explore this power.

She had been loaded into a prison van and then entered the courthouse for trial, and she could understand the fear and abuse of ordinary people.

There doesn't seem to be a corner of the world that has its own place in it.

So she thought it would be nice to stay in prison, so that he would have plenty of time to learn from Gaia, because if she wanted to go, no one would stop her.
