Coven Mire
Long ago in a world filled with mystery, lived the people of Coven Mire. You see in this world all females have power. There are Thaws with extreme to moderate power. The men of Coven Mire are not without powers themselves, but post does not contain the ability to control and wield it such as the women do. This is the story of a witch Coven Mire, whose tale is one that is certainly worthy of telling.
Sierra was born on a cold winter night in the heart of Coven Mire in the city of Trinity. In a dark cold basement with a war raging outside of the walls. The evil queen's ordered her guards to bring every child to her dark castle. No one knew exactly why. The post arranged for powerful witches in the kingdom to fight to keep their children safe, unknowing what the dark queen might do to them.
"Look you've done it," said the midwife handing Sierra to her mother with a weird expression on her face. "Your child must have extreme powers, her hair is as bright as the sun and her eyes are as blue as the crystal sea." Knowing exactly how much power her daughter held inside of her tiny body sent a fearful look at her daughter, until the fire was melted away by the strongest feelings she had ever felt.
As a young girls father paused for a breath his daughter jumped in.
"OK daddy, basically where are you going with this? I want it to be a story about three witches born in Coven Mire, with extreme powers. More powerful then the evil queens. I want it in three parts first telling Sierra’s story. All the women of Coven Mire are to have dark hair all but Sierra, who has blond hair The queen wasn't always evil. She was good till her husband and son where killed, then her power boiled over her and corrupted her. In this story everyone has powers but the females basically run the place, cuz they control it better. Also I want it to be very dangerous for a powerful witch to fall in love, because if they get hurt and it turns them evil like a Banshee or something. So the three witches that are supposed to bring down the evil queen are Sierra, she has all the power of the sun and she controls fear and light. That's the story we're telling now. Then there is Aerial, she has the power of the sea and moon because the moon controls the tides. Then there is Geria. Just call if u can't figure out the name's. I'll tell u. Geria has the power of the earth, she will be able to control the wind and plan's and talk to animals as well. Where other witches would have to use a spell. When these three meet up they will have the ultimate power." Then his daughter went off to bed.
