CHAPTER 17

AURORA’S POV

I looked around the hall, everything was exactly where I had seen in the memory; my favorite horse, slide, swing, the couch… except for my parents…

I exhaled deeply and sat on the couch. I tried to remember playing here as a child. The only thing that came to my mind was Celeste’s memories.

“Glad that you made it.” Celeste’s voice sounded as she walked into my view. I stood up respectfully and smiled at her.

After we were seated comfortably I fired the question that was disturbing me the most. “Why can’t I remember anything about my parents?”

“We decided to wipe your memory to keep you safe.”

“Why would you do that?”

“Those were dark times for witches. The king of the dragons had issued a decree to kill all the powerful witches.”

“Damn! But… I was just an infant Celeste.”

Celeste let out a deep sigh. Her eyes glazed over as she said, “You were very powerful even as an infant, Aurora. The Dragon King wanted you dead.
