Neverwinter Scourge Warlock
When I was little, my mother told me stories about the women in our town practicing witchcraft. Other stories consisted of both men and women being shifters, but only a select few. It was unheard of for a witch to be a shifter also. That was until I came along.
In 1619, a slave that was known as Shawna came to, at the time, the village. She was owned by one of the powerful men. After a while, the village got to know her, but resented her since she was a slave. Several teen girls in the village would go to her home, and they had eventually became Shawna's young followers. Once winter turned to spring, they were spotted dancing to conjure black magic in the woods. The unusual practices of witchcraft soon spread across the village like wildfire. Spiritual leaders came from neighboring villages to try and help. The witches were forced to tell the humans who else had been apart of the scandal. Three women, including Shawna, were named as witches as they fessed to the leaders who were amongst them.
That had been a brief summary about how witches were discovered. Humans, always interfering and not leaving things alone. Now, the witches knew who the first werewolf was and when he was discovered. What they didn't know was what was going to happen when he was.
After the witch incident, the worry had ended in the matter of a year and a half. People soon forgot about the witches which gave them the opportunity to establish a coven with a counsel and rules. From 1694 to 1856, a new breed had been born; the werewolf.
The story of how the werewolf came to be wasn't nearly as exciting as the witch trials. Wailyn, the first werewolf, was an adult when his first shift came. They say Wailyn knew he was a werewolf, but they were wrong. On a particular full moon, when the moon is blood red - thus its name Blood Moon - appeared glowing brighter than usual. Wailyn was growing hair at a fast pace. Bones cracked and misshapened. His human form into a wolf-like look. On two legs was the original werewolf, but throughout time his features became more wolf. He stood on all fours and eventually gained control of his shifts. The Blood Moon never came back since then. More werewolves went to Wailyn, seeking help and leadership. That's how the very first pack had been established. Once the coven discovered this, they met to discuss the rules and regulations to establish peace between the two groups. One rule was, wolves and witches cannot be together or both parties will be burned.
Shawna and Wailyn defied this rule and had two children. One was a shifter whereas the other was a witch. When the coven found this out, both burned at the stake, making the pack to take the shifter and the coven to take the witch.
That rule still stands till this day, having no reported acts. Now in modern times, males were sorcerers. They didn't need to dance or chant to use a spell. Magic flows through them like blood. Werewolves looked like real wolves instead of those two legged ugly creatures.
My name is Quinn and I'm the descendant of Shawna and Wailyn. I'm not the child of the two, I'm just apart of the direct line. My mother is a witch whereas my father is human. The coven allowed my mother to tell dad about the witches and how she was one. Luckily I was born a witch and not a human. A lot has changed since 1692, but order is still present as well as the rule of witches not being able to be with werewolves. When I was born, the ministers couldn't read my future like they could with everyone else. This worried them, but they sensed a strong aurora from my tiny form which made them declare me a witch. Now I am 17, my birthday coming in 4 months. This is a bid deal for a witch because they gain their full powers at their 18th birthday. I knew this was going to be the best day of my life, but I didn't know it was going to lead me to my damnation.
