Love lines by Diana Nixon Page A

excitedly. I rolled my eyes in
response.
    “Well, Professor , I'm ready, so you may start,” I
replied seriously.
    “Good. Let's start from the very beginning. What do you
know about the history of this place?”
    “Only that Dever was founded by seven families, many
centuries ago.”
    “To be exact - seven centuries ago,” Evan
pointed.
    “I also know that the idea of a foundation was proposed
by the Fairey family,” I remembered.
    “That’s right. Let’s talk about them more detailed.”
    We came to a small park, where the air was filled with
all possible and impossible aromas of different flowers. I could smell jasmine,
roses and lilies, a mixture of hydrangeas, apples and lemon tree.
    “This is Embry’s pride. Here you can find thousands of
the rarest plants from around the world. Let's sit down over there,” said Evan,
pointing in the direction of the bench at the foot of a weeping willow. “So the
Fairey. Jason and Gabriela Fairey were precisely those who first came up with
the idea of protection human world from everything supernatural. They met
through their talent to read people’s minds. Unfortunately, over the years, the
Fairey have lost this ability, so that now, they rely primarily on their
intuition and reading auras.”
    “Jason and Gabriela went to travel around the world to
find other talented people. Reading thoughts, it wasn’t difficult. So, coming
back to England, they already knew about the existence of four more families,
all of whose members had different unusual gifts. In France, they met the
Meridin family, whose members were all able to interpret dreams. In Spain - the
Embry clan, one of the most numerous at those times, where everyone knew about
the properties of any plant, and particularly flowers. In Italy, the Fairey
were introduced to the Ventura - experts in the future, and the Vero who could
separate truth from falsehood.”
    “And how did they find the Feta and the Wizardy
families?” I asked.
    “They were not looking for them. Rosemary Feta saw them
on the lines of her own destiny. She was curious and went with her husband and
two daughters to find the Fairey. As for the Wizardy...” Evan paused only a
moment, making a deep breath. “Medellin Wizardy also found them herself. She
was the most powerful magician of those times. She didn’t need to see the lines
of fate or read minds. She knew everything. By joining six other families later
on, she wanted to make her department a special one. No one was against, as
each family knew that the possession of magic was the greatest gift. That’s why
nowadays the faculty of Wizardy is the highest level of education in Dever.”
    “I see. But you didn’t say to which of the families you belong.”
    “I am,” sadly smiled Evan, “a descendant of the smallest
family – the Wizardy.”
    “Wait, I thought you said that Medellin Wizardy came to
the Fairey alone,” I said blankly.
    “In fact, even then she wasn’t alone. Medellin was
pregnant, and only after some time, other families found out about it. Marietta
Ventura saw the birth of a child and told the others. Perhaps no one would ever
know about the birth of Lily, Lillian Wizardy, but for her. Lily’s father was a
poor guy who was bewitched by Medellin and tied to her by the love spell. Only
she didn’t know that there were other things in this world, much stronger than
witchcraft. Another woman was in love with that man too and her love was so
strong that the strength of the spell fell and eventually Medellin was left
alone. Later she realized that she was pregnant and wanted to get rid of the
baby, but thanks to Rosemary Feta the girl was saved by combined forces of all
six families. In addition, Medellin had a son, who was about ten years old. She
didn’t tell about his existence to the rest of the families.”
    “Wow! I had no idea about all of these. Looks like a
whole soap opera. So what happened to her husband and the woman for whom he dumped
her?” I
