W.I.T.C.H. Special - The Year Before

2002

In this issue, we are given a look into the lives of Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin before they became W.I.T.C.H. and before they all met each other. We are shown a special moment in each of the girls' lives and also how they first discovered their powers.

W.I.T.C.H. Special

Cornelia and Caleb: A Love Not Meant to Be

2004

This issue takes place some time after the end of the Nerissa's Revenge saga when Caleb ended his romantic relationship with Cornelia. The two of them are heartbroken and go their separate ways; Cornelia back to Earth and Caleb back to Meridian to live with Elyon and Vathek in the Meridian Palace. This W.I.T.C.H. issue is unique because it acts like two separate issues: one with Cornelia's story and one with Caleb's. Each one starts in Kandrakar where the Oracle expresses his sadness regarding Cornelia and Caleb's separate destinies. The Oracle notices that even after a pretty long time they are still frustrated over their break up. He then enters a room where he can look through a magical lake and see distant worlds. It is here that the two stories start to differ: in one version he looks at Cornelia who is sleeping in her room on Earth and in the other at Caleb who is sleeping in the Meridian Castle on Metamoor. However in both cases while the one that is being watched is asleep, the Oracle decides to show him/her visions of what would have happened if he/she would have given up life on his/her home planet to go live with the other.

This special issue deals with Orube's life on Earth, mainly with her application at the university for a journalist course.

In the issue, while she is in Irma's house, Orube breaks the faucet because she doesn't know how to turn it off. Later Irma and Orube try to cook something but it ends up overcooked. In Orube's office, a lady gives her a camera and then Orube suddenly presses the capture button and she begins to collapse because of the flash from the camera and because she doesn't know how to use it. Later Taranee visits Orube to chat and then, Orube tries to take a picture of Taranee and after doing so, Taranee checks to see if the picture is right and the picture was taken perfectly. Earlier, when Orube was a child, she was tutored in martial arts by Luba, her teacher, in Basiliade.
