The White Family harbors the first witches in existence, stemming from the Original Witch, Laurel White, who along with a human, named Jonas White, raised seven siblings. All witches descend from them. The Original Surgo, RIley is also part of them. They are more powerful than any other witch.
History[]
The first and oldest son, Riley was born to Jonas andLaurel White in a village, which would become Meadow Wood, in the 3rd Century. Lonely and unable to get along with most of the village children, Laurel and Jonas promised to have more children.
Before she conceived any of the others, Laurel was stricken down by earth during a brutal storm that broke her bones and set her on fire as the earth shook. The village peeked through their windows in awe, unable to help her. When the storm wore off, Jonas quickly carried her into their home where she rested for days, thought to soon be dead. Soon, however, she began to heal and become miracuously healthy. The villagers were surprised and they soon learned that nature had granted her with the unique abilities of witchcraft, which she used to help the town, healing them, growing trees for spices, and adding to their livestock. The village saw her as their queen and woman.
Soon after, Laurel gave birth to six more children to Riley's joy. The family was happy and very close. The six of them began to exemplify signs of great healthy and unique abilities, however, and they soon learned that just like their mother, they too were witches. When the children's abilities began to get out of control, Laurel paid special attention to them, teaching them how to use their abilities to help the village as she had. Riley was jealous and furious, feeling as the weakest though he was the oldest. He resented his siblings for manifesting his abilities while he had nothing. To divert his anger, his father Jonas, taught him how to hunt, which gained his skill, strength, and experience with killing.
He expressed his anger towards his siblings, but some such as Rosalind and James scorned him for his jealousy. Joshua and Sage, however, defended him. As they grew older, his anger grew and his father, who became old was too weak to divert his anger. Riley attempted to take James's life with his dagger and James, who was inexperienced with using magic offensively was only able to move the dagger out of his hand. Riley, who had been taught to kill, was able to subdue him, however. Rosalind came to help, but Riley was able to break her neck. He consumed her blood and her ash after burning her.
Riley was unconscious for days, but woke to Sage. He discovered he was not a witch like his siblings, but instead, he was half-powered, a Surgo. He began to flee. Sage begged him to stay, but he knew James would hunt him down, and allowed him to leave.
Years later, Sage met a human man. They married and had a child named Michael Knight. During this period, the villagers began to resent the witches, seeing them use their magic selfishly and carelessly despite their mother's warnings. Jonas died after a while due to his sickness and Laurel's inability to heal him. The villagers began to riot against the spreading of the witch population. They killed Michael, which sent Sage into anger and later, depression. She struggled to control her powers against the villagers, but her mother's warnings assisted her.
Sage had more children, but fearing the continuous prowl of the villagers, Sage wanted to protect the rest of her remaining family including her husband, her children, coming grandchildren, Laurel, Antonio, Terrick, and Joshua. She tricked her mother into getting some of her blood and using it to turn the locket she always wore into a powerful talisman to capture her and her mother's power so that she would be able to go against the villagers who began to hunt them down. Sage eventually killed most of them, which caused the hunting to die down. Her mother was furious, angry that her children were misusing the magic of the earth.
Contradicting herself, after she discovered Riley was transforming more Surgos, she sent her two obedient sons, Antonio and Terrick, out to help James kill Riley and wipe out his Surgos. Unable to successfully, Riley and his army of Surgos ended up killing all three of his brothers.
