Morgana, a sorceress of significant power and beauty, possessed an innocent heart. She found herself captivated by a charismatic human who hungered for a deeper understanding of the world, yearning to transcend the limits of the physical and known realms. Little did Morgana know that this captivating individual would become the first to uncover the secrets of magic and the inherent abilities that lay dormant within humanity.
Enchanted by his words and promises of a shared future, Morgana remained blissfully unaware of the darkness that lurked within her beloved. Skillfully, he manipulated her affections, exploiting her love and unwavering devotion. With his honeyed words, he coaxed secrets from her lips, all while concealing his true intentions. Ultimately, he convinced her to embark on a treacherous task – the theft of a revered artifact hidden deep within the vault of the benevolent Queen Serena, who was wholly unsuspecting of the man's true nature.
This artifact, sought by Morgana's beloved, was none other than the revered Orb of Tides—a relic of unparalleled power, believed to be forged by the mighty Poseidon himself. Within its gleaming surface resided divine essences. The Orb possessed a dual nature, blessed with the ability to purify and cleanse, while also bestowing upon its wielder the capacity to wield magic in its purest form. It had originally served as an instrument to cleanse the ocean of the lingering malevolence and remnants of the cataclysmic battle between Poseidon and the colossal leviathan Gorak, a fearsome beast sent forth by the wrathful Titan, Chronos.
After fulfilling its purifying purpose, a minute trace of residual power was left within the Orb, a remnant of its sacred task. Recognizing the artifact's lingering power, Poseidon entrusted the reigning Queen Serena with the solemn duty of safeguarding it, ensuring that its potent influence would remain concealed from the world, hidden away from those who might misuse its extraordinary abilities.
Morgana, using her enchantments and the trust bestowed upon her as one of the queen's loyal attendants, skillfully manipulated Queen Serena herself. The unsuspecting queen unwittingly aided Morgana in discovering the secret location of the artifact.
However, upon their long-awaited reunion at a nearby coast, Morgana's heart was shattered by a devastating betrayal. The man she thought she loved plunged a dagger through her chest, causing immeasurable pain and anguish.
Morgana, a sorceress of captivating beauty and ethereal grace, possessed an enchanting allure that drew people under her spell. Her eyes, once shimmering with warmth and tenderness, now reflected a sorrowful darkness, hinting at the depths of her shattered heart.
The betrayal inflicted upon Morgana ignited a blaze of searing pain that tore through the core of her being. As the dagger ruthlessly found its mark in her chest, an inferno of agony engulfed her, devouring every fiber of her existence. The torment unleashed upon her felt as though her very essence was being ripped asunder, her soul wracked with convulsions of unparalleled torment. Her anguished screams pierced the heavens, resonating with a raw intensity.
Driven by a desperate need to eradicate any evidence of their encounter, the betrayer callously cast Morgana into the treacherous depths of the unforgiving ocean. The waves eagerly swallowed her, embracing her broken form as it plunged into the dark abyss. In that moment, the sea itself seemed to recoil, as if from the weight of the pain and anguish that now consumed her. The once serene sea transformed into a churning tempest, mirroring the tempestuous turmoil that surged within Morgana's shattered heart.
In that pivotal moment, the transformation began, an agonizing metamorphosis that twisted her appearance and essence. Her once flawless complexion turned ashen and gaunt, the contours of her face contorted with a twisted malevolence. Shadows danced upon her skin, as if an eternal darkness clung to her with an unrelenting grip.
Morgana's elegant form warped and twisted, as if her very bones were reshaping themselves. Her once flowing hair turned wild and unruly, tendrils of obsidian black writhing and coiling with a life of their own. From her fingertips, inky tendrils extended, like ethereal extensions of her dark powers, emanating an ominous aura that sent shivers down the spines of those who witnessed it.
Her voice, once melodious and soothing, now carried an eerie resonance, filled with a haunting echo that sent a chill down the spine of even the bravest souls. It resonated with anguish and bitterness, echoing the pain of her shattered heart.
Her pain had given birth to a new identity.
With unwavering resolve, Queen Serena and the Sirens of the realm, confronted the twisted form of Morgana in an epic clash of wills. The Queen found her heart torn, for deep within her regal soul, she carried a profound sorrow for her once loyal lady-in-waiting, Morgana. Beyond their official roles, they had shared a bond of friendship, woven through centuries of trust and camaraderie. The Queen's heart bled for Morgana, witnessing the twisted transformation that had consumed her beloved friend. But the transformation that Morgana had undergone had forever altered her perception and desires, turning her into a force of darkness that thirsted for power and retribution.
Ultimately, despite her formidable abilities, Morgana found herself overpowered by the combined might of the Queen and her Sirens. They managed to suppress her malevolent forces, binding her with ancient spells that shackled her power and contained her darkness. Together, they cast her into the treacherous depths of the Leviathan Domain—a desolate realm reserved for the most dangerous and malevolent of creatures, where her nefarious influence would be held at bay.
And what of the stolen artifact? The human managed to escape with the Orb of Tides, disappearing without a trace. For centuries, it remained lost, its whereabouts unknown...
Until now..
When whispers of its reappearance began to echo.
And as for the human? He would go on to establish a lineage that extended through the ages, ultimately paving the way for the emergence of the wizarding world. Generation after generation, his descendants would inherit his stolen magical abilities. Among the many branches of his family tree, one particular line would become renowned. The Gaunt's.
The Gaunt family, a line of descendants of the first wizard, held a position of prominence and wealth within the wizarding world. Renowned for their pure magical heritage, they zealously embraced the radical belief in pure blood magic. Their unwavering devotion to the idea of blood purity propelled them to isolate themselves and shun those they deemed impure. Their family name became synonymous with their extremist beliefs, stirring both fascination and fear within the wizarding community. Their riches and heritage served as a testament to their radical convictions, establishing them as a prominent force in the history of pure-blood supremacy.
