Chapter 1 Sophy the dreamer
Sophy's eyes sparkled as she gazed out the small window of her attic bedroom. She was lost in a world of her own creation, a world where she was a beautiful princess, beloved by all.
In her dreams, Sophy wore elegant gowns and danced at grand balls, her parents cheering her on from the sidelines. They were proud of her, and she could see the love shining in their eyes.
But Sophy's reality was far from her dreams. She lived in a small, cramped attic above a dusty old shop, with a witch named Ravenna who had taken her in as a child. Sophy's parents had abandoned her, unable to care for her due to their poverty.
Ravenna had found Sophy wandering the streets, a tiny, frightened child, and had taken her in. She had raised Sophy as her own, teaching her the ways of magic and the secrets of the universe.
As Sophy grew older, she began to realize that her life was not like that of the other children in the village. While they played and laughed together, Sophy was stuck in the attic, learning spells and potions from Ravenna.
But despite the isolation, Sophy's imagination ran wild. She would spend hours gazing out the window, dreaming of a life beyond the attic. She longed to be a princess, to wear beautiful clothes and attend grand balls.
As she gazed out the window, Sophy's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Ravenna's voice, calling up from the shop below.
"Sophy, dear, come down and help me with the customers!"
Sophy sighed, reluctantly tearing herself away from her dreams. She made her way down to the shop, her heart heavy with the knowledge that she would never truly be a princess.
The shop was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of herbs and spices. Ravenna was busy mixing a potion, her eyes fixed intently on the bubbling liquid.
"Sophy, I need you to help me with this potion," Ravenna said, not looking up. "It's a complicated spell, and I need your assistance."
Sophy nodded, taking her place beside Ravenna. Together, they worked on the potion, their hands moving in tandem as they added ingredients and stirred the mixture.
As they worked, Sophy's mind began to wander. She thought about her dreams, about the life she longed to lead. She wondered if she would ever find true love, or if she would be stuck in the attic forever.
But Ravenna seemed to sense Sophy's distraction. She placed a gentle hand on Sophy's shoulder, her eyes sparkling with kindness.
"Sophy, my dear, you have a special gift," Ravenna said. "You have the heart of a true princess. Don't ever forget that."
Sophy smiled, feeling a surge of hope. Maybe, just maybe, her dreams would come true after all.
And with that thought, Sophy's life was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would lead her to the very prince of her dreams.
As the days passed, Sophy found herself growing more and more restless. She felt a sense of discontent, as if there was something more out there for her, waiting to be discovered.
Ravenna seemed to sense Sophy's unease. One day, as they were working in the shop, Ravenna turned to Sophy with a curious expression.
"Sophy, my dear, I think it's time for you to learn more about your past," Ravenna said, her eyes glinting with a hint of mystery.
Sophy's heart skipped a beat. She had always wondered about her parents, about why they had abandoned her. She had asked Ravenna many times, but Ravenna had always been evasive.
"What do you mean?" Sophy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ravenna smiled. "Come with me," she said, leading Sophy to a small room at the back of the shop.
The room was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of old books. Ravenna led Sophy to a small chest, adorned with intricate carvings.
"This was left for you by your parents," Ravenna said, opening the chest. "It contains a letter, and a small gift."
Sophy's heart was racing as she took the letter from the chest. She unfolded it, her eyes scanning the pages.
The letter was from her mother, explaining why they had abandoned her. They had been poor, struggling to make ends meet. They had left Sophy with Ravenna, hoping that she would give her a better life.
Sophy felt a lump form in her throat as she read the words. She had always wondered why her parents had left her, and now she knew.
But as she read on, Sophy discovered something else. Her parents had been members of a royal family, and she was the rightful heir to the throne.
Sophy's mind was reeling. She was a princess? It couldn't be true.
But Ravenna's next words confirmed it. "You are a princess, Sophy," Ravenna said, her eyes shining with pride. "And it's time for you to claim your rightful place on the throne."
Sophy's heart was racing. She had always dreamed of being a princess, and now it seemed that it was her destiny.
But as she looked at Ravenna, Sophy knew that there was more to the story. There was something that Ravenna wasn't telling her.
And Sophy was determined to find out what it was.
As Sophy's mind reeled with the revelation, Ravenna's expression turned serious. "But, Sophy, there's something you need to know," Ravenna said, her voice low and cautious. "The throne is not yours for the taking. There are those who will stop at nothing to prevent you from claiming your rightful place."
Sophy's heart skipped a beat. She had never imagined that her journey to the throne would be fraught with danger. "Who?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ravenna's eyes seemed to cloud over, as if memories of the past were rising to the surface. "The king's advisor, Lord Ravenswood," Ravenna said, her voice dripping with venom. "He has long sought to control the throne, and he will not give it up easily."
Sophy felt a shiver run down her spine. She had never heard of Lord Ravenswood, but she could sense the malice in Ravenna's words.
"But I'm not afraid," Sophy said, her voice firm. "I'll do whatever it takes to claim my rightful place on the throne."
Ravenna's expression softened, and she smiled. "I knew you had the heart of a true princess," Ravenna said. "Now, let us begin your training. We have much work to do before you are ready to face Lord Ravenswood."
And with that, Sophy's journey to the throne began. She spent long hours training with Ravenna, learning the ways of magic and diplomacy. She studied the history of the kingdom, learning about the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that shaped the royal court.
As the days turned into weeks, Sophy grew stronger and more confident. She knew that she still had much to learn, but she was determined to claim her rightful place on the throne.
But little did Sophy know, Lord Ravenswood was watching her every move, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
