Chapter 3: Chapter Three
The mark of durability is one of the many marks that exist. The name of the mark would be determined by those who wore it in their dreams.
After the enchantress placed the curse, she made a book. This book was about the different symbols, and how they may align with their bearer. Although the witch was smart, she couldn't depict every mark. So to compromise, she put the marks into four categories: natural, superficial, cosmic, and the rarest type regal.
Natural symbols were things that you would find on earth. These include the elements, landmarks, and more. This type of symbol represents the person's importance and diligence. In Mariaisabells's case, her need to travel like the wind was important to sustain her daughters' safety.
Superficial symbols were things that would be found on earth. But were either man-made or extinct. These symbols would represent the person's internal needs and wants.
Cosmic symbols were symbols that were beyond the world. They are huge entities floating in the void space. The person bearing these symbols would have remarkable importance, not only in the present but in the future.
And last but not least, there are the regal marks. These marks are the most powerful and dangerous marks of them all. They represent loyalty, power, and respect. People who bear these types of marks can either use their gifts for good or evil.

Mariaisabella and her daughters prevail as the oaf drives them through the forest. They will arrive at their first stop in the midpoint of Brera. However, in order to get there, they have to go by Milan. Mariaisabella attempts to close her eyes and find peace in the bumpy and uncomfortable ride.
Her silver blade of hope was on her side. Hidden within the outdated amber dress was her emergency route. If all else fails, this will be the very tool that will give these women freedom. Mariaisabella looks down at the only thing she brought with her. The small keister has the necessities for her daughters to survive.
"Mrs. Cattivo, we have arrived at the loft." The puny man spits out. Disrespect latches onto his tongue like a leech. Mariaisabella Cattivo was once a woman of respect. But after the very known affair from her husband, they have blamed it on her for not properly satisfying the fifty-eight-year-old excuse of a man.
"Thank you, my kind carer," Mariaisabella says with an artificially sweet voice. Being surrounded by people who expected her to be compliant meant that she could hide her feelings. All four of them get out of the carriage, with the gnome helping them down. He also makes sure to give extra care to Mariaisabelle.
Once their luggage has been taken out, they enter the big space. Stronzo owns the loft but has made no effort to maintain it. But Mariaisabella would rather be here than near that fat.
This is when all four of them should be sleeping. However, Mariaisabella is not going to do such a thing. With skillful steps, she quietly goes over to her daughters to wake them up. Mariaisabelle, Maria, and Mary all wake up in confusion. But their mother is quick to keep them quiet.
"We are leaving. I will not allow your father to get rid of your freedom and become like me," The desperation in Mariaisabella's hush is evident. She then takes out the paper from her chest and reveals it. The girls look at the piece of paper with little to no recognition. But this makes the blonde woman smirk.
"This is a deed to your late grandaunt's home. It is a few miles away from this loft. It will take at least two hours to get there," Mariaisabella explains with certainty then places the deed back. Realization hits their daughters, and they understand that freedom is right outside the door. So with no time to lose, the daughters get their stuff ready.
Once they are ready to leave, Mariaisabella is sure to be the last person out. When Mariaisabelle opens the door leading to their new life, it awakens the beast. Knowing exactly what is going on, and following Stronzo's instructions, he attacks them.
But Mariaisabella turns, with the blade in hand, and faces him. He freezes, not knowing that she had a weapon. Mariaisabella takes this chance to slice his hand. His screams drench the woman with dread and guilt. She wants to stop and help the aching man, but she has to continue with the plan.
"Evil has coursed through me and my family. I will be stealing my daughters and imprisoning them for purification. If you look for us, I will kill you," Mariaisabella's threat is a bluff. But the way the man is looking at her means that he believes it.
She grabs her carrier and rushes out. Before meeting up with her daughters, she unties the horse and lets it run freely. And just like the horse, the four women gallop towards their new life waiting for them.
They are finally free.
