Forest Of Acrata.....
It's an early morning.
The sun rises as expected, from the East. It's precision as natural as ever, and it's blessings, once again, spreading through out the forest.
The small house on the hill belonging to the last witch, in the human world is in sight.
The house, only to be described as semi- modern, stood fine and yielding.
In the house, a tea pot is brewing. A fireplace is burning quite well, showcasing that the household might had, had a cold and chilly night.
In Linda's bedroom, nothing seemed to have changed. Everything seemed to be the same, the way it was since Eight years back. Except for some additions.
Carefully arranged in the room was another closet, smaller than the first one, easily showcasing that another individual shared the bedroom aside, Linda and her cat.

"Good morning mum!!"
A child pitched voice broke out from a corner in Linda's bedroom.
The voice belonged to a boy of about eight years old, if not more.
He was considerably cute, heavenly and otherworldly to the human eyes in every way. His appearance was an abnormally to be described. Especially since his appearance far exceeded that of a normal human child.
A rough groan sounded in response to the boy's greeting. The groan sounded tired and sleepy.
The owner of the groan smacked it's lips in sleepiness before muttering back a greeting.
"Uh... Good.. morning, son... Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, mum. I did".
The boy's answer was filled with innocence. A rare type of innocence found in most children.
The supposed mother hummed in response before smacking her lips and going back to sleep.
It may seemed that she was truthfully tired and needed more rest and sleep.
The boy, sensing that his mother was still sleeping, decided not to disturb her anymore. He decided to go and do his house chores and wait till when his mother is awake again.

Lucian Pov...
My name is Lucian, Lucian Parker in full.
I leave with my mum in a dense forest, known as the forest of Acrata. It's a tropical forest, that lies beside the Southern side of a big City, known as Santiago de Chile. Or otherwise, Santiago.
I've lived all my life with my mum, right from when I was still little. Although, I don't really remember much from my infant.
All I know is what my mother had told me.
My mother's name is Linda Parker. I got my last name from her.
She's a witch with incredible abilities and powers. Actually, she's the last witch in the human world. There's a lot about her that meets the eye, especially when one sees her for the first time.
Apart from that, she's quite the best mother ever. She's kind and caring and always makes sure that she provides for me. She takes care of me very much because she loves me and I definitely love her back.
And I have come to accept the fact that both I and my mother are certainly not normal.
Maybe that's the whole reason we live in a forest, far away from other people or should I say, far away from other humans.
Funny enough, my mum is the only human I've ever set my eyes on.
Hump! Such is life.
Also, my mother may not actually be my real mother and family. According to what she told me, I got to learn that she found me in the forest under some significant and foreign circumstances.
I may not know what that actually means but, I don't care.
At least, I'm happy living with her.
¢¢¢
I had woken up at around 7am.
I'm actually the type who wakes up early. Unlike my mum, nowadays.
I rolled to the side to see my mother sleeping soundly after having a long night.
Last night was quite stressing and tiring on her, but let's say she pushed through.
I tapped her slightly, definitely waking her up. I said my morning greetings to her and she replied sleepily. This showed me that she still needed more sleep and I decided not to disturb her too much.
I got out of bed and wore my little slippers on the floor. I turned around to give her one last glance before leaving the room.
I left the bedroom and ran into Delia. My mom's cat.
She was purely black with emerald green eyes that seemed to sparkle. I had grown up to meet her and she seemed to have a history with my mom.
She's quite nice and very loyal.
She meowed and purred softly upon seeing me.
"...Oh..Delia. How are you?"
I crouched down and started patting her head, not expecting to get an answer.
She meowed once again, obviously enjoying the treatment I gave her.
I smirked seeing the cat enjoying the way I patted her.
After patting her, I continued on to the living room before stepping out of the house. As expected, Delia sneakily followed behind me, while giving off that sneaky cat vibe.
I stepped out of the house and closed the door behind me, after making sure Delia got out of the house.
"Mom's still asleep, Delia. So we shouldn't wake her up".
I said to Delia after closing the door to the insides of the house.
After getting out of the house, I looked around the surrounding only to notice leaves everywhere.
Dried leaves, infact.
That was normal.
Every single day, I always tend to see dried leaves around the house, fallen mostly from the strong wind that blew last night.
Without second thought, I started walking towards my mother's garden.
My mother had planted some food crops that did extremely well, around the house. We actually gained our daily bread from this small garden my mom cultivated.
Sometimes, I think my mother is a superhero.
Although, living alone but still able to make living comfortable.
Her garden was fenced round by some wooden stakes, joined together by vines that were quite strong.
I found my way into the garden and immediately started inspecting the crops. Turning around, I still noticed Delia, steadily following me.
"These crops need to be watered. They need water for their growth".
I muttered more to myself than actually to Delia.
Without second thought, I summoned my elemental magic.
Using my spiritual energy, I summoned two large balls of water from both my hands, the size of large rocks.
My eyes suddenly started giving a faint blue glow as my spiritual energy condensed water elemental magic into my hands.
Just as I was about to release the balls of water in order to water the garden, I heard a someone calling out my name.
