Chapter 1

This world is filled with magical creatures and beings capable of extraordinary magical abilities, we call these people, “Witches”. 

The convent of witches are divided between the white and black witches. Each with their own goals and standards, therefore splitting the two covent apart for centuries.

The white witches believed that the magical creatures that resides in their realm are meant to be free and roam however they please. They are sacred creatures that bestow protection and even some are  worshipped as gods or familiars of white witches.

However, the black witches believed that the magical creatures were far inferior. They capture and corrupt the magical creatures in order to enslave them. 

Due to this, many have fallen to corruption slowly over time and has caused a never ending battle between the two covenants for the magical creatures.

In this story, we meet two unlikely allies. Frederick, A white witch, and Damian, a black witch.

Damian’s mother and his father, both black witches. Unfortunately, they were killed on the battlefield, therefore leaving Damian to be adopted into Arlin’s royal family, leader of the Shadowmoon Coven, at a young age. 

Damian was an expert swordsman and capable with black magic. Rebellious and unpredictable, Damian was a force to be reckoned with.  

He was well known in his Coven for his extraordinary ability in magic and talent for assassination. He specializes in sword magic, able to create any sort of blades he desires and control them at will. 

Although after meeting Frederick, he falls in love at first sight. However, will that be enough for a change of heart and betray his coven? 

Frederick was a pure white witch. Although he was capable of powerful white magic due to his lineage of royal bloodline of witches in the Crescent Moon Coven, Frederick specialized in sealing magic and origami magic. 

However, his timid nature tends to hold him back in battle. With the loss of his father, Lucian, he becomes determined to overcome his short comings and follow his father’s footsteps but he has an unexpected encounter with a terrifying yet flirty black witch , Damian. What will become of this wild relationship? 

-Coven of the Crescent Moon-

-The convens of white witches gather for a meeting for an upcoming battle against the black witches.-

Lady Levana, the supreme witch, leader of the covent stands above the crowd . Levana had long white hair, piercing yellow eyes and a slender yet curvy body, her beauty was quite known in the coven. 

Her husband, Lucian was unfortunately a victim of the war, he died on the battlefield and Levana was left alone to protect her people in his stead.

-The gathering of white witches shouts and argue amongst themselves-

“They’ve almost entered the Fairy King’s forest! We must stop them at all cost!” Yelled a white witch in the crowd.

“We’ve lost so many on the battlefield….how much more blood must be spilled before this accursed war ends?!”  Yelled a white witch in the crowd. 

Lady Levana stands up from her throne and smiles gently towards the  crowd.

“Now, now, settle down. I know how much this war has cost us, but it is our sworn duty and we must do what we can to protect this realm and it’s creatures. Lucian risked his life and I won’t let his death go in vain.” Said Levana the supreme white witch.

“I wish I could fight myself. However, with the loss of Lucian, I must stay and keep up the barrier within our coven.”

“I’ve chosen Frederick, my very own blood to go onto the frontlines to stop them. If we lose the fairies, it would be quite troublesome.” said Levana with slight hesitation in her voice.

The fairies in the forest were responsible for keeping the nearby forests and animals healthy and alive and preparing the seasons, each fairy taking role of each element required for their tasks. As the white witches also depend on the fairies for their everyday life, in exchange they offer protection for these creatures. 

The Black witches, however, want to have control over the fairies and make them do their bidding to increase their magical abilities, Witches bonded with their own fairies grant new magical abilities depending on the element of the fairy. Therefore, this greed of power creating conflict within the covens and the fairies. 

“Wha-? Frederick ?! You can’t possibly expect the boy to defeat the black witches, he’s not ready!” Exclaimed a white witch from among the crowd . 

“Calm, my fellow witches, I believe my child is fully ready and I trust him to resolve this conflict.” Levana said with a smile on her face as she turns to face Frederick.

-The white witches all silently watches as Frederick walks foward from behind Lady Levana.-

Frederick has short curly blonde hair, and bright yellow eyes just like his mother. He is quite tall and has a slim yet muscular build and resembles his father, Lucian.

“I-i would like to try, It pains me to see my fellow coven fall to those evil witches. Just as my father once did, Please, allow me to show them why we have been chosen to protect this realm and it’s inhabitants for centuries!” Shouted Frederick towards the crowd, nervously but with pride. 

Frederick’s familiar, Freya, a white Persian cat jumps down from his shoulders and a yellow light shines around her, she transforms into a tiger sized creature and roars proudly towards the crowd. 

-The white witches cheered and gathered around Frederick.-

“Oh Little Frederick, you’re so grown now!” Said a fellow witch. 

“Maybe…he can do this..” said a fellow witch.

“Sigh…he’s just like his father…” said  fellow witch. 

“FREDERICK! FREDERICK! FREDERICK!” The crowd of witches cheered as they gather around Frederick.

Summer and Alex, childhood friends of Frederick, stood closely by and cheered for Frederick as well. Summer has long red hair with bright green eyes with freckles on her face, she was short with a slender body. 

Alex has short black hair and dark brown eyes, and was quite tall and has a well built body. 

-Lady Levana walks up to Frederick and holds his shoulders.-

“Yes, that’s what I expect from you my dear Frederick. However, you won’t be going alone. Summer and Alex will be going with you.” Said Levana as she turns towards the two witches.

Summer and Alex glanced and nodded at each other as they heard Levana state that they would be tagging along Frederick. They both walked up to his side followed by their familiars, Lex, Alex’s gray owl and Kiwi, Summer’s earth fairy . 

Summer and Alex were both top known witches in the coven. Alex was great at gathering intel and protecting the coven with his traps and knowledge of warfare, his specialty was card magic.

 Infusing his magic into his cards, Alex can create almost any spell he wants. However, it can only be use once per card and requires him to create new ones if he wishes to use the same spell.  

Alex tends to prepare his deck before his mission are assigned to him and create new ones when needed. 

Meanwhile, Summer had a natural affinity towards all magical creatures and can communicate with them with no issues, thus making her known as the spirit whisperer, her specialty was earth magic, along with her fairy, she’s capable of even manipulating plants and the very earth itself to her call. 

“We are at your service, my lady.” Said Summer as they both bowed to Lady Levana.

“Thank you, you two, please watch over my dear Frederick as always.” Levana said with a gentle smile.

“Of course, my lady!” Said both Alex and Summer proudly as they place their hands to their chest. 

“Remember, your goal is to only to make them retreat. Fall back if they manage to break through the defenses and return here, I don’t want to lose anyone else.” Said Levana with a hint of sadness behind her voice. 

“Yes, my lady!” Said all three simultaneously as they bowed their heads and made their preparations for the upcoming battle.

So starts the long journey of the three white witches: Frederick, Summer, and Alex onwards to the frontlines so that they can stop the black witches march into the Fairy King’s forest.

-Meanwhile, the black witches also gathers and plans for their attack on the Fairy King’s Forest.- 

-The Shadowmoon Coven-

Arlin, the leader of the black witch coven was in her camp located in a nearby forest with her fellow witch, Damian and three others.  

Arlin had long wavy black hair and dark crimson eyes. She was quite tall with an hourglass figure. 

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Although beautiful, she was known for her terrifying nature and held no mercy towards her enemy, her rival was Levana and they both have a long history together.

 Arlin was also responsible for the death of Levana’s husband, Lucian, when the two met on the battlefield. 

Although a close battle, Lucian hesitated and didn’t want to take her life. With this chance, Arlin quickly slit his throat using a shard of glass from her mirror magic  and watched as he slowly died at her feet.

However, with Lucian’s last dying breathe, he casted a spell on Arlin and thus, after the battle she was left injured and partially sealed of her magical abilities due to Lucian. 

-Inside the tent of the Shadowmoon coven’s camp in a nearby forest.- 

Arlin sits at her desk and watches through a magical black mirror she summoned and sees Frederick and his group making their way to the Fairy King’s Forest. 

Arlin’s mirror cannot invade the space within the white witches coven due to Levana’s protection spell. However, due to Frederick and his group leaving the covens protection, Arlin may spy on them for a short time. 

This ability can only be done once a week due to her powers being sealed by Lucian.

“Hmph, the little sly old coot, Levana. What is she planning sending Frederick here?!” Said Arlin with a hint of rage behind her voice.

“Ha! What’s the problem with a couple more puny white witches? A few more won’t make a difference.” Said Igor, a black witch. 

Igor has red spiked hair , bright pink eyes and he was tall with a muscular build. He was quite a hothead but a skilled witch nonetheless. He was an expert in destructive magic, he mostly prefers to use fire and lightning in his offensive spells.

Rena, a black witch, glanced at Igor with annoyance. “ Mind your tongue, you numbskull! You’re in the presence of Empress Arlin herself!” 

Rena had long blonde hair that was styled in a ponytail and rounded glasses. She has brown eyes, she was short with a slim build. Rena was not great at direct battle, however she was good at cursing her enemies. Her specialty is voodoo magic and curses. 

“Huh?! What you tryna pick a fight or something?” Said Igor as he turns to Rena. They both faced each other and prepared to cast a spell.

Helena, a tall woman with a curvy build. She has long black hair that was braided into one long section down her back. Her bright crimson eyes stares down her two fellow witches from across the room. She was known for her expertise in gravity magic.

“Kneel!!” Helena snapped her fingers and casted a spell, the air grew heavy in the room. 

-BANG!- 

Helena forced both Igor and Rena onto the floor with her gravity magic.

“Knock it out you two, We have far more important matters than you two deciding to make a mess of things.” Said Helena, an older black witch of the other three members. 

Damian, a fellow black watches the scene and laughs in enjoyment. Damian has short brown hair with gray eyes. He has a well built and toned body, he was known within the coven for his captivating smile and flirty personality. 

Damian was an experienced assassin within the coven and has the ability control shadows, even capable of teleporting or hide within them. 

He carries around a sharp dagger that he uses for battle. He also specializes in sword magic, able to conjure blades and daggers to fit for whatever the situation calls for. 

“Pffft- haha! Nice one, Helena. But you should’ve let them go at it, would’ve been a fun sight to see.” Said Damian as he laughs at the situation.

“Grrr, Alright! let me go Helena!” Yelled Igor as he desperately tries to escape Helena’s magic.

Rena stays silent and reflects on her actions, not fazed by the gravity magic placed on her. 

Helena releases her magic and the two gets back onto their feet.

“If you guys are now done with the show, I have a mission for you all. Damian and Helena, I trust you two to go greet our guests.” Said Arlin.

“Igor and Rena, you two are to stay here until further notice. Am I clear?” Asked Arlin as she stands from her desk.”

“Y-yes of course, Empress Arlin!” Said Igor and Rena as they got onto their knees and bowed. 

“Good, now go once the sun sets, nightfall will be your advantage. However, do not underestimate that boy and his little bodyguards , you are only to show them we are not to be reckoned with.” Said Arlin. 

“Yes, my empress! We shall not disappoint you!“ exclaimed Helena as she bowed her head alongside Damian. 

Damian followed behind Helena, leaving the others and the two left the tent towards the entrance of the Fairy King’s Forest where awaits Frederick and his group.

-Nightfall at the Fairy King’s Forest entrance- 

Alex specialized in card magic and was a great tactician within the white witches coven , thus, was left with the job of setting up traps for protection.

Alex works on placing light traps created by his cards around the trees and ground nearby the area, in case any black witches appear. Activating these traps with cause a bright light to emit, blinding anyone foolish enough to touch them. 

Lex kept watch above the trees and prepares to signal for any unusual magical readings nearby.

Summer and her familiar, Kiwi, stands nearby playing with the fairies of the forest. Summer was always close with the fairies since she was young, being lost in the forest at a young age.

Kiwi found the crying child and guided her out of the forest, befriending her, and even agreeing to become her familiar to follow her outside of the forest once the Fairy King allowed it. 

Frederick was sitting alongside a tree, watching the stars while folding some paper cranes. “Sigh… I really hope no witches actually show tonight..” sighed Frederick. 

Although he was prepared for battle and wanted to protect the forest, Frederick detest violence and wanted to peacefully resolve things if possible. 

“Meeeow.” Freya purrs as she rubs her head against Frederick’s lap. 

“Aw, hey there girl, trying to cheer me up huh?” Frederick said as he picks up Freya and places her on his lap. 

“Meow meow!” Freya nods and snuggles up to Frederick’s lap but suddenly she stood up and began to hiss loudly.

“Huh ? What’s wrong Freya?!” Frederick stood up as he heard her hissing. 

“Hoot! Hoot!” Cried Lex from the trees. Signaling to Alex that there were enemies nearby.

Two dark cloaked figures appeared from black smoke as if out of thin air just outside of the forest’s entrance. 

“My, my, what do we have here? Three little lambs, walking to the slaughter.” One of the male dark figures said as they slowly approached the group while spinning a dagger around his finger.

“Hehe, we’ll make this quick…be good little ones and give us your heads okay?” Said the female dark figure as they followed behind. 

“Summer! We got company! ” Yelled Frederick as he prepared his battle stance.

The fairies all flew away and retreated into the forest as Summer ran towards Frederick’s side with her familiar.

Alex was nearby hiding on top of one of trees branches alongside his familiar. Watching as the two cloaked figures walked closer to his friends. Not wanting to reveal his location. Fredrick and Summer took notice of this as well and tried not to reveal a third member of the group. 

“Geez, well they certainly know how to make an entrance, let’s do this, Freddy!” Said Summer as she prepares herself for battle. 

Summer quickly casts a spell with the help of Kiwi and vines suddenly appear from the ground underneath the two cloaked figures. 

“Hmph, is that really all you got? Let me show you real magic.” Said the female figure. 

She casts a spell with a snap of her fingers and the air grows heavy around the vines and forcibly tears apart the vines from them. 

“Wha- what the heck did she just do?!” Exclaimed Summer as she watches her vines get destroyed. 

“No idea, space manipulation maybe?“  Frederick suggested.  “It was rumored there was a gravity witch within the Shadowmoon Coven, I guess we’re unlucky to run into her here.”

Frederick was about to cast a spell but then one of the cloaked figures appeared right in front of him instantaneous, throwing him off balance. 

“Hmm…you must be Frederick, I keep hearing about you allllll over the coven. Now that I look closely….” Said the cloaked male figure as he takes a good look at Frederick.

Startled from the sudden appearance of the cloaked figure in front of him, Frederick stumbled and fell backwards onto the ground. 

“Haha! How cute, my bad. Did I scare you?” Said the male witch as he laughs at Frederick’s fall. 

The dark figure inches closer down towards Frederick’s face with a dagger in his hand. 

“You know, I could just kill you right now. But you have such a cute face, definitely my type. It would be such a waste to end you so quickly, haha!” 

Said the male cloaked figure as he smirks and pointed his dagger towards Frederick’s throat.

“Wha- y-your type..?” Said Frederick with visible confusion. 

Then, mutiple sharp cards flew quickly towards the male witch from the trees above, however,  he easily deflected them. 

“Tch, tch— well that wasn’t very nice.” Said the male witch as he looks up  the trees, towards the direction of the thrown cards. 

He then teleported to one of the trees branches nearby and accidentally activated one the traps  Alex had set up ealier.

 A bright light emits and blinds him for a moment. Summer responds quickly and casts her spell again, this time with even more vines, wrapping him completely.

“Fuck! Helena!” Yelled the male witch as he struggles against the vines.

“Sigh… you idiot.” Said the female witch while shaking her head, she then attempts to cast her magic to free him. 

However, Frederick was faster, he casts a light binding spell that manifests a white rope of light towards the female witch and caused a white rope to bind her tightly onto the ground.

“Ugh!” Yelled the female witch and she falls to the ground. 

Frederick quickly creates a paper star shaped seal and places it onto the female witch, causing her to temporarily unable to cast any magic as long as it’s attached. 

It was inspired by his father’s sealing magic, however it wasn’t perfected yet and still quite weak in comparison.

With the blinding effect slowly dissipating, the male witch spun his finger that was free from the vines grasp that caused mutiple sharp blades to appear around him. 

He commanded the blades with the movement of his fingers to slice the vines and free himself. 

“Guys, watch out!” Alex shouted from the shadows.  Alex tried to warn his friends. 

However, it was too late as the male witch has already disappeared from sight. 

 The male witch suddenly appears from behind Summer and knocks her out instantly. 

“Aughh-!” Summer yelped as she falls onto the ground.

Frightened, Kiwi hides behind one of the trees nearby.

“Alright, one annoying witch down.” Said the male figure as he stands above Summer. 

“Summer!! Get away from her!!” Shouted Fredrick. 

“Grrrr…Meowww!” Freya growled at the male figure. 

“Now now, I won’t kill her, yet. Release my buddy over there and I might consider it, cutie.” Said the male figure as he points his dagger towards Summer’s unconscious body on the ground. 

“And you in the trees, don’t even think of doing anything silly or she might not wake up again.” Said the male figure as he turns to look above the trees towards Alex’s direction. 

“Fine…please just don’t hurt her, I beg of you.” said Frederick.

Frederick snaps his fingers and the magic light rope that was binding the female figure disappears in a flash. 

The female figure got up and signaled the male figure to come by her side. 

“Thanks, cutie.” Said the male figure.

“And since you asked so nicely, I guess I’ll let her go for now.”

True to his word, the male figure did not hurt Summer and appeared beside his ally. 

Up in the trees, Alex infuses his magic into his cards to create sharp blades and throws them quickly towards the male cloaked figure. 

However, the male witch noticed and barely dodges the attack, and it ends up knocking off his hood, revealing his face. 

“Oh darn, you almost got me. Sneaky little bastard.” Said the male witch as he rubbed the back of his head.

“Well, now that the surprise is ruined, The names Damian Grimm, black witch of the Shadowmoon Coven.” 

Damian said as he bowed towards Frederick.

“Sigh…working with you is tiring. “ said the female witch as she puts down her hood.

“Helena Von Roseberg of the Shadowmoon coven.”

“ If it wasn’t obvious from a certain loudmouth ealier.” She shrugged. 

“Hehe, this was a fun exercise, but we’ll definitely meet again.”

“Until next time ,  little Frederick.” Said Damian as he winks towards Frederick with a smirk.

“For now, I bid you adieu.” Damian bowed and slowly a black smoke surrounded the two black witches and they disappeared without a trace.
