The Blood have been waiting for Witch, the living magic, for millennia. However, the terrible struggles waged over Jaenelle's future power haunt the little girl the prophesy mentioned. Since not everyone of the Blood looks to her to save them. Others write her off as a myth. Some people reject belief. Some would even use her, using her like a puppet to suit their needs.
Jaenelle's physical injuries have not healed save with time and the affection of her guardians. Her amnesia serves as a protective barrier against the horrors of her early years, but her mind is nonetheless brittle. But nothing will be able to stop her fate. And the day of reckoning is not far off. once her memories come back. when her magic reaches maturity. when she's forced to concede to her destiny.
The Dark Realms will understand what it means to live under Witch dominion on that day.
