fromĀ herĀ youthĀ sheĀ wasĀ theĀ unintentedĀ rivalĀ ofĀ theĀ highĀ witch'sĀ daughter,Ā dragwena,Ā inĀ innateĀ powerĀ andĀ skill.Ā kelĀ wasĀ challengedĀ toĀ aĀ contestĀ toĀ endĀ theĀ one-sidedĀ rivalryĀ &Ā theĀ oneĀ leftĀ aliveĀ atĀ theĀ endĀ wasĀ toĀ beĀ leftĀ theĀ undisputedĀ heirĀ toĀ theĀ realmĀ ofĀ witches.Ā whilstĀ dragwenaĀ wasĀ theĀ namedĀ heirĀ andĀ daughterĀ ofĀ theĀ reigningĀ highĀ witch,Ā if another's naturalĀ powerĀ wasĀ greater then theĀ strengthĀ of their magicĀ wouldĀ alwaysĀ supersedeĀ theĀ claimĀ ofĀ aĀ namedĀ heir.
whenĀ kelerelĀ emergedĀ victorious,Ā noĀ oneĀ applauded.Ā theĀ highĀ witchĀ retaliatedĀ atĀ theĀ deathĀ andĀ defeatĀ ofĀ herĀ daughter,Ā andĀ banishedĀ kelĀ fromĀ theĀ realmĀ ofĀ witches...Ā untilĀ theĀ timeĀ theĀ highĀ witch herselfĀ died. onlyĀ thenĀ wouldĀ theĀ banishmentĀ unbindĀ itselfĀ fromĀ kelerelĀ andĀ allowĀ herĀ toĀ re-enterĀ herĀ homeĀ realm, tryingĀ beforeĀ thisĀ timeĀ wouldĀ resultĀ inĀ herĀ death.Ā kelerelĀ hasĀ noĀ controlĀ overĀ theĀ lawsĀ thatĀ governĀ herĀ peopleĀ norĀ theĀ magicĀ inĀ herĀ blood, she is Ā unableĀ toĀ rejectĀ theĀ titleĀ ofĀ heirĀ unlessĀ sheĀ isĀ willingĀ toĀ destroyĀ herself,Ā orĀ worse:Ā haveĀ herĀ magicĀ ripped from her soul.

to the loyalists of the heir, kelerel is a warrior. to the queen loyals, she is the witchbane. relentlessly pursued by a the high witch of her people for crimes during a war she did not start, incognito she keeps moving to keep alive, stepping into other worlds ā even strange magic-less places where she learned live by the blade, and not through her powers. vikings , spartacus , the last kingdom , reign , general period drama without fantasy elements
inĀ herĀ world,Ā theĀ worldĀ ofĀ witches,Ā kelerelĀ holdsĀ aĀ strangeĀ andĀ dichotomicĀ title.Ā markedĀ byĀ theĀ lawsĀ ofĀ theirĀ magicĀ sheĀ isĀ a once in a generation witch with the skill to unmake magic and enchantments, yet perceived as the greatest threat to the royal high witch heebra and her daughter, the heir assumed.Ā her presumedĀ threatĀ toĀ theĀ heirĀ inĀ theĀ highĀ witch'sĀ daughter,Ā dragwena,Ā triggeredĀ aĀ catastrophicĀ chain of events.Ā theĀ previousĀ sixĀ highĀ witchesĀ hadĀ beenĀ kin,Ā byĀ luckĀ orĀ fate,Ā andĀ whenĀ itĀ becameĀ clearĀ thatĀ kelerelĀ āĀ ofĀ aĀ minor,Ā butĀ oldĀ familyĀ āĀ wasĀ surpassingĀ theĀ strengthĀ ofĀ theĀ highĀ witch'sĀ daughterā¦Ā turmoilĀ began. the witches of ool who had felt the dark change with heebra's rule saw this behaviour from the high queen and her daughter as an opportunity to take their revolt to the next level.
fourteenĀ yearsĀ ofĀ infightingĀ andĀ undercoverĀ tacticsĀ droveĀ the realm into chaos,Ā causingĀ hundredsĀ ofĀ casualties and widespread pain as the high queen conscripted her people and harnessed their power in the pursuit of destroying the 'threat' to her daughter. theseĀ tensionsĀ roiled over in aĀ battleĀ betweenĀ theĀ highĀ witchĀ daughterĀ andĀ kelerelĀ herself. kel, who had never wanted war nor the throne, attempted to diffuse the situation again... but to no avail ā dragwena mercilessly slaughtered a quarter of kel's companions, laughing as she did so. without option, inĀ theĀ lastĀ momentsĀ ofĀ theĀ fightingĀ kelerelĀ harnessedĀ theĀ spellĀ thatĀ had marked her as a threat in the first place.Ā kelerelĀ launched the unmaking spell atĀ hebra'sĀ daughter, obliterating her from existence.
two clear groups emerged from this death ā a death which did not end the war ā the factions known as the high queen loyals, following high queen heebra and the memory of her daughter dragwena and who consider kelerel an enemy of their kind, and the loyalists of the warrior who follow kelerel and support her actions in ending the line of tyranny that had beset their lands and corrupted their people's lives. theĀ wrathĀ ofĀ theĀ highĀ witchĀ overĀ theĀ deathĀ ofĀ herĀ daughterĀ cameĀ swiftly.Ā hebraĀ transformedĀ herĀ essenceĀ intoĀ aĀ sentient, thick greyĀ fog,Ā seeingĀ all,Ā hearingĀ all,Ā sensingĀ all, spreading through the realm of ool to track down her daughters killer.Ā withĀ noĀ physicalĀ bodyĀ sheĀ couldĀ noĀ longerĀ travelĀ outsideĀ ofĀ theĀ realmĀ ofĀ ool,Ā andĀ whilstĀ hebraĀ maintainedĀ thisĀ formĀ thereĀ wasĀ noĀ placeĀ inĀ oolĀ forĀ kelerelĀ toĀ remainĀ safely. lockedĀ inĀ aĀ stalemate,Ā kelerel capable of unmaking hebra and all her magic, and with withĀ theĀ highĀ witchĀ loyalistsĀ callingĀ herĀ witchbane and placing bounties on her head,Ā andĀ herĀ ownĀ followersĀ callingĀ herĀ aĀ warriorĀ āĀ thereĀ wasĀ noĀ choiceĀ butĀ toĀ flee.
sheĀ isĀ stillĀ pursuedĀ byĀ them,Ā andĀ unableĀ toĀ returnĀ toĀ oolĀ untilĀ theĀ assumedĀ naturalĀ demiseĀ ofĀ theĀ highĀ witchĀ (orĀ untilĀ oneĀ ofĀ theĀ remainingĀ loyalistsĀ ofĀ theĀ warriorĀ managesĀ toĀ slaughterĀ her),Ā atĀ thatĀ timeĀ kelerelĀ intendsĀ returnĀ to her home in hopes of helping rebuilding ool in the light of goodness, diplomacy, and leave behind the fearsome, monarchical dictatorship.
the witchbane + warrior of her people. she maintains her agelessness even outside of ool, so she never stays in one place (where aging is relevant to mortals) for more than five or six years. she is constantly moving, constantly outrunning consequences of a war she did not start and did not want.
