I couldn’t even get to the story because you threw me off with the the disclaimer at the beginning… what is a woke agenda? Usually when people say things like this, they are being racist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. If you want people to read your work, I think you should delete the disclaimer/ announcement so the reader doesn’t get a preconceived idea about who you are as the writer or what kind of story you are trying to tell.

Your writing is bad and you believe in woke agenda (i'm a wokist can you tell me where to find it ?)

I'm not going to comment on the quality of your writing as it is fanfiction, which is a valid path to eventual professional writing and a great way to have fun. Rather, I just want to say that I am sceptical about your motivations for writing this and would like to explain why that is the case.
Rather than just let what you've written so far stand on its own, you have primed the audience with your intentions. It comes across that you don't trust your audience to get out of it what you want and that you are not open to unintended interpretations the audience may get out of it.
You say you want to be faithful to the original, but to me and most likely others, this defeats fanfiction's purpose. Why should I, or anyone else, read faithful fanfiction when we can just read the original comics?
You express a dislike of the 'woke agenda' without clarification of what you mean by that, but to some people ", woke" can be synonymous with diversity. I'm not saying that's what you meant, but you have left it up to interpretation, and that's probably the worst way to interpret it. And if that's how someone interprets it to be, then it may come across as odd to fans of W.i.t.c.h. considering the comics have always been diverse, especially for the Haylin and Taranee fans and CoreliaxPeter shippers.
Most people have not loved the attempted reboot. I am not a fan of the redesigns; Lisa Fevral said that they made Taranee mean in the reboot.
You say you want a lot of fans and want people to help you write your writing... I encourage you to keep writing and asking for feedback to improve your writing. But that is something you need to do yourself. Writing is just rewriting until you are happy enough with it. Your motivation for writing should never be you want fans or fame. Your motivation should be that you have an idea for a story you want to write.
I would also recommend reading a book called Save the Cat by Blake Snyder to understand story structure further. There are plenty of great books about story theory, but that one is a great place to start, in my opinion.
