Prologue to "The Witch Of Amender"

“There was once a land called Amender. A very long time ago, it was filled with witches and warlocks, but they began to die out. Battles and wars over time took their lives. The last king of the land was a warlock.  He was given the choice by his council to marry one of the last five witches in the land.  Greta, Oda, Maya, Sadie, or Janna.   He could not choose between them, so he choose to wed them all. Upon their union, he placed a powerful spell of his love on a stone that fell from the first full moon of their land. The spell weakened him greatly, he could never be the powerful warlock he once was, but he made the choice to keep all the women he loved close to him. He broke the stone into 5 pieces, giving each wife a piece so they may always have his love with them.  His love gave them strength and decades of happiness, but one witch wanted more love. She wished to share it no longer.  One night, Maya followed Oda into the wilderness and slit her throat. Upon taking her stone,  she felt a surge of power. Intoxicating power.  A few nights later, she poisoned Greta and she died in her sleep. Her stone was taken.  The king grew weary with his loss of Oda and Greta; he fell weak.  Like the death of each wife was sucking the life out of him. Maya stayed by his side, but secretly, her love for the king had faded. She no longer desired it. If she could own all 5 pieces, she would have enough strength to rule the kingdom by herself, she knew it. Sadie and Janna grew wise to what Maya was doing and decided to hide their stones. Sadie hid hers far away in a cave beneath the falls. Janna, however, did not want to keep her stone in the land.  She created a portal to this world, a portal that would continue to exist to anyone who possessed a moonstone of the king. It is said she placed a powerful spell on it, a secret.  She placed it in the pocket of a young merchant and returned back to her world. She felt it would be unsafe for her to return to the kingdom, for she was weary and already drained by creating such a portal to make another come into a world. She decided to spend the rest of her life alone in solitude, hiding. Sadie returned to the kingdom, where Maya had imprisoned the weak king. She questioned Sadie about her stone, ordering her to tell her where it was. Upon being tortured she gave in and told her the location, but she was still murdered by Maya. Since then, Maya has ruled the kingdom under darkness and Janna was never found. Maya searched for the one remaining stone, but never found it and she never reached her full power.“
