Tell a story to your grandchildren.
Destiny. You're going to be hearing that word a lot, and I'm sorry about that. If you're reading this, then you must have my Book of Shadows. And, I'm guessing something really weird must've happened. Don't freak out. I'll tell you a story, about my magic, about the weird thing that happened to me. Maybe it'll help. I don't know.
Let's go with a little background first. There's a strong line of magic that runs in our family. It's so strong that every generation can't handle it, so it skips. My parents were mortal. My sister and I were witches. Your parents are/were mortal. Now, the power lies with you.
I grew up totally normal - except for that whole thing where my big sister got kidnapped by demons on Halloween when I was five and I didn't save her until I was like nineteen and she was way evil and tried to kill me and I ended up killing her - summer camp, bowling night, Saturday morning cartoons, McDonald's happy meals. Yeah. I was normal. And, I had just gotten moved into my dorm for college when the weirdness happened. I was just sitting there at my desk, and I needed the remote. Well, it was on the other side of the room, and I just sort of waved at it, like a joke, like I did when I was a kid being silly, and the freaking remote came flying toward me with a vengeance. Yeah, that's how I discovered I was telekinetic. Now, when I was discovered my projection powers? That was a mind trip, because my parents - and, obviously this is before they were murdered by demons - had come into town to visit and we were fighting about Christy and I called them cold-hearted assassins. Yeah, not one of my better personal life choices. It turned Mom and Dad into Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
I want to tell you it's like Harry Potter or something, but it's not going to be like that. You don't get to wave a wand or go to a special, elite school; you just have to wing it, while keeping up the pretense of being a normal kid with a normal life. You get to fight evil, save the innocent, and get very little credit and only bruises to show for it. It sucks sometimes, but that's life. I could totally quote Spiderman here and say that with great power comes great responsibility, but I'm not lame like that, so I won't.
Seriously though, study hard. You're going to do a lot of great things, save a lot of people, and kick a lot of ass. Chin up and accept destiny, even if you might make destiny nervous.
