Hi. My name is Axeiska and this is my story. A story that has been carried on for generations. So let us start from the very beginning. This is a long tangled story so grab a seat and get ready.
I was just turning 15 in 3 months and 5 days. I remember it clearly. Like as if it was just yesterday. My birthday was coming up and fast approaching. Naturally I was very excited. I love my new and temporary state given home. I love the family I have been living with. These people are just amazing in every way and they treat me like I belong here. I have been living here for almost two years now. Though I'm no longer the only child. I cherish the attention I receive. Which is daily I might add. We have parties here all the time. We practice so many forms of beliefs. Some I didn't even know existed until I moved here. These people are very different from my parents but are just as amazing with me. I never feel left out of forgotten. I don't ever feel like I'm the odd one out. These people are very open and welcoming to everyone. They have showed me their culture of faith. They call it "new found". It is a mixture of many different beliefs crammed into one. Which includes Wiccan, christian, catholic, science, just to name a few. I think it's cool. The way they put these different faiths together and combined it. Well it makes the Lord seem fierce and loving all in the same throw. Wiccan and science is what they practice most. Some people say it's magic what they do. In a way it is magic. The magic of healing is a powerful thing. That's enough about that. These people have hundreds, if not thousands of books here. All of them are mine to read. It is an amazing feeling to know that I'm allowed to read these books. There are no secrets here. That alone makes me happy. What excites me the most is that I get to work with them. I get to mix different spices and herbs. There's so many different compounds I get to experiment with. Some smell really good and enticing. Others are well... Yuck. We use this lab that's downstairs. It's really huge. It's also really pretty down here. I mean it has its limitations. Since it is basically a really large basement type of laboratory. The walls are covered in metal and there is a lot of glass everywhere. The metal has different trimmings on them. Flower prints engraved in the flowers walls and a symbol above their door. The chemical rooms are the same way. Based on their basic compound. On the windows they have different images. Kind of like runes or something from ancient times. When I'm down here I wear a white coat, face mask and protective clothing from head to toe. Even my hair goes in this specially made protective hat. When is time for potion mixing "experimental compound mixing" we all use masks. They call it potion mixing probably for imagination or to add fun to it. Well at least I think that's why. Anyway to get back on track here. That's just my new family. Let's get back to me and my story. They will rejoin us soon.
So I know you will probably think I'm insane. However I think I come from a completely different family. Maybe a different world all together. We have had such magical times that I have seen over the years. I'm pretty sure it's because, they tried their hardest to keep me happy. Maybe my imagination was running wild but we will get into that as well. A little about me. Since this is my story and I keep running on about everyone else. I can't tell you much about my features because they are constantly changing. What I can tell you is that I love learning. I am pretty smart and have a crazy wild imagination and I'm really short. Not short like 5'5 but short like 4'11 and a quarter short. Or like my friends say, I am pocket sized or fun sized. I have friends that tower over me. Those are the ones that like to tease me playfully by using my head as an arm rest or walk beside my on their knees. My very best friend likes to bring a stepping stool with him and has me stand on it when we are talking. He says he doesn't like to look down at me. I can't tell you how many times I've rolled my eyes at him or the rest of them. I am literally the shortest person in my school. The school had a visitor after school. She looked mysterious and weird. At the same time I felt like I was being pulled towards her. She was obviously looking for someone so I walked up to her. At first she just looked at me then she grabbed my hand. She flipped my hand over and looked at it for just a moment. Then she dropped my hand and started at me for a moment before saying a few things. You are a very important person. You may not know it yet but your life will bring you many obstacles and you will be successful. You must always follow your heart, keep your heart clean and clear of dark things. Your journey will be long and hard. Do not lose faith. It will be a long and twisted road. When you reach the fork in the road listen to your heart. It will lead you to where you must go. Then my friend Crysta called my name and I turned towards her. When I looked back to thank the lady she was already gone. Every day that has passed I've thought of those words. Crysta says she didn't see anyone when she called my name. So naturally I just stopped bringing it up to anyone. It bothers me still because I don't know what she meant. If only I knew then what I know now. Maybe life would've been different but I'm glad I didn't. If I changed anything it might change my outcome.
