Excerpt
Yasmin stood at the door of her cottage watching her beautiful little girl Chloe at play in the garden. What was to become of her? At age five Chloe was already showing the same abilities as herself and more.
This was not a world to live in peacefully when you were different. Chloe was showing signs of her mother’s dark exotic beauty, which in itself was also a burden. Yasmin had been pursued relentlessly over the years by men who wanted to possess her and by others who wanted to use her gifts for their own evil ends.
Yasmin was an empath and for as long as she could remember she had known what people were feeling. This gift had been passed along from mother to daughter for many generations and just as her mother had taught her how to deal with this gift, so too would she teach Chloe.
What concerned Yasmin at the moment was that Chloe was showing signs of the powerful fire magik. She knew there was a need to deal with this immediately, for it could prove to be dangerous in one so young.
As she stood watching Chloe, she smiled at how innocent she looked. She wished deep in her heart that she could keep her this way and somehow protect her from all that was to come and the inevitability of the trials she would experience as her abilities grew.
Last night as dusk crept across the land, Yasmin had turned to light the candles as normal, but in the corner of the cottage she was startled to see Chloe gently blow upon one and bring it into life. To Chloe, it was natural that she could do this. How could a five year old have such poise? Yasmin knew she must gather the women of her family and discuss what was to be done. Should they block these abilities until Chloe was older? Or should they try to teach her how to deal with them now?
