Ch 1: Who am I?

When I noticed it I could feel the sun on my face. The sun combined with my covers make me feel so warm. While be entranced by comfortable nothingness I heard some footsteps. In my half-asleep state I wondered who could that be? I should be alone today, since my parents had business to take of today. I decided that they probably got back early today. With all thoughts answered I drifted back into peacefull sleep.

Next thing I knew I could feel a large and on my shoulders and womans voice saying something. As my body is waking up the voice becomes clearer. The voice was saying "Lys… wake up…". I didn't competely understand yet, but the voice continued. "Come on Lysthea… wake up…" the voice sweetly said. The voice was relaxing, but who is Lysthea anyways I wondered. The voice then continued "Lysthea get up breakfast is ready." I heard that name again. I thought why is this woman waking me up calling someone elses name. I thought I should figure out whats happening.

So, I opened my eyes and looked at the lady waking me up. It was a woman I had never seen before with long red wavy hair and ruby eyes. She had a kind expression on her face as she looked at me. Now noticing that my eyes were open she said "Good morining Lysthea! Breakfast is ready!" in an energetic voice. Not knowing why she was calling me that I decided to ask her. When I said " Who is Lysthea?" a voice of a young girl came out. I only noticed when I saw the lady's eyes grow wide. It was then I looked down at myself and saw baby pink pajamas with flowers on them. I then looked at my hands which were smaller and paler than I remembered. I started to panic thinking where am I!?! What happened to me!?!

It seems while I was starting to freak out. The lady I saw earlier brought in another woman in who I didn't know. I realized when they both grabbed my shoulders and said "calm down dear." They were both looking at me with faces of both exitement and worry. For some reason looking at their faces made me calmer. Once they noticed I calmed down a bit. The new woman who had long straight black hair with emerald green eyes said "Dear, you are remembering your past life now." She then from a pocket on her robe took out a small bottle filled with the color of the night sky. She then poppod off the cork and said "drink it dear" in a caring yet confident voice. I was a bit scarred to drink the liquid, but I have a strange trust with this strange woman.

So I took the potion and started slowly sipping it. The potion strangely tasted like soda, and even had that feeling of carbonation in it. While I was enjoying the soda potion the woman with red hair took out a stick and started mumbling. I was too focussed on the drink that made me feel peaceful to hear what she was saying. Once she stopped though the world started to fade to white.

The world bacame a sea of white, and the only things left were the women and me. For some reason also I was standing up. Wasn't I sitting down? Well I couldn't care about it much, because for some reason I felt extremely peaceful. It was then the woman with red hair spoke in a sweet voice "Dear this is the inside of your mind. My name is Ruby and I'm your mother and the lovely lady next to me is your other mother Lucia." I just nodded to my supposed mother Ruby. Then Lucia spoke next with a similar tone "Your name is Lysthea and you are a witch, and when witches turn 12 years old they remember their past lives." I felt rather calm at this revelation for some reason. So I asked in a strangely monotone voice "Did I die?" The two women with sweet smiles said "no." Ruby then continued by saying "No you didn't die Lysthea, we took your soul from your previous body, and let another soul take over that is more suited to that body and world." Wait so I was replaced! I felt a twinge of panic the quickly calmed down, but not before I could say anything. My voice cracked and was filled with sadness as I snapped "I was replaced!!!" Lucia calmly answered back "More than being replaced we brought your soul to where it belongs. Your soul belongs here, or else the magic woudn't have worked." I was lost in thought for a few seconds and then replied "then why am I in pink pajamas…? Although I had no desire to be a "man". I don't think I wanted to be a girl?" The two women brought their hands up to their mouths and gasped. Ruby then said with the same tender voice she used earlier "Your soul must be female, or otherwise you wouldn't have been born our daughter." Lucia followed up by saying "It sounds like you never wanted to be a man anyway. Since the magic brought your soul here you will be happy with who you are now!"

I then was lost in thought for what seemed like minutes. So I always had a female soul? This is where I belong? This all seemed rediculous, but I strangely believed these two women. I also really couldn't feel any emotion at the moment also. It was then memories started flooding through my mind. The memories were of my life as Lysthea up to this point. After about a minute of this happening I came to peace and understanding of my reincarnation. I also felt happy to now be able to learn magic now that I remembered my past life, but the happiness was short lived as I quickly felt back at peace. I then asked "Mother why can't I feel any emotion?" while tilting my head. Both my moms looked relieved that I finally remembered them. Ruby was mother and the one who gave birth to me, and Lucia was mom. I remember them telling me that mom won the rock-paper-scicsors match so got to be mom. I never really understood why though since they are both my mom. Mother then said "I will use a spell to put you to sleep Lysthea. You will have your emotions back once you wake up" Mom then waved her wand and my consciousness faded into black.
