COVEN

It was a small cottage, one would think it was built for a dwarf. The place was coy, dangerously quiet. Mateo and Rosa have not seen any life force was for about an hour, not even a bug, an ant or any unknown creature that crawl on the soil.

That creep the life out of Rosa, she would shake to every dance of the breeze. The further they got, the more dense the air became.

A black vulture suddenly fly pass, hanging over their heads before descending right in front of Rosa. The frightened woman jumped into her husband's arm screaming as she shut her eyes tightly.

After some seconds, she opened the slightly as she watch the creature move it's head from the right to the left as if confirming something before it flew away, making weird sounds.

Rosa came down from Mateo's arm dusting her gown while cracking her throat awkwardly.

You scared of an harmless bird, but you are willing to take on Vimdraolf Mateo said in a mocking tone.

Rosa playfully give him a slap on his chest and they continue their one day old journey to "VERERER THR SEERER".

You Are Not Welcomed Here!!!

Rosa and Mateo stop in their track looking for where the voice came from.

I Will Not Repeat Myself Again.

The voice Rosa and Mateo heard finally gained a form, as a middle age looking lady appears from no where, with the vulture that Rosa and Mateo encountered earlier sitting comfortable on her left shoulder.

For generations after generations, her kind has been known to have supernatural power, possessed for the sole aim of harming others and causing misfortune.

Vererer was isolated from the world long before Amargo reign began. She was believed to have attack her community and often communicate with evil being.

Vererer was a lost soul who so badly wanted to be accepted, So she hid her power under the guise of a folk healer. Thwarting witchcraft by protective magic, and sometimes, counter magic.

Even with all the help she offered human, she was intimidate, banished and most of her kind we killed by burning.

After that, she vowed never to help humans again, Vererer remains a myth, with no body having a clue of her being alive or dead. Even if human are aware that witches hardly die, they dare not show there face to Vererer for help, scared of her wrath.

The vulture on its mistress sent deadly glare trying to scare the already frightened couple.

Leave before I lost my patient, you two have succeeded this far because I was generous, there is no help for you here.

You didn't kill us Vererer, there is a reason why?

Mateo said to the witch, gathering boldness.

That you are right of Mateo, you are alive for a reason.

Her blessing, the goddess Rhea blessing is the reason you are still alive. There is a protection spell you, until your purpose is accomplished.

Vererer turn her back walking closer to her dwarf home.

Rosa watched closely at her footsteps, noticing how there we turned backwards as Vererer moved.

Instead of watching my footsteps, go back to your daughter, she is presently awake. She is stronger than you think. Vererer uttered in a dull time.

know this Rosa, the prophecy about her death would be surely fulfil, but not this way, behold an ultimate sacrifice shall be made, and there's is nothing you can do to stop her death, not even your motherly love would work that time.

Rosa could not stop babbling, Fear mixed with confusion seized her body, but whose mother won't be in her position. Who won't panick like she is doing after the news she has just been told. How much suffering will her daughter endure because of this mate bond?

I ca..came here to a.ask for help for my d.. daughter si..situa..tion, what do you mean by prophecy and death?

We were only told by the lips of raven she's Vimdraolf mate, nobody said a about death.

Vererer gave a loud bawl laughter. You humans are weak and hopeless. The blood of all the innocent witches killed by burning is upon Vimdraolf, love will make her take it upon herself, and she would die. I advise you go back, there is no hope for you here.

Rosa squeeze her chest tight, struggling to find a way to reduce the pain she was feeling.

Day by day she finds out about her child future, not even a single light shines on it, only pain and misfortune awaits her, and now death has been added to the unending list.

What makes it worse is that she can't even do anything about it.

Go back Rosa and begin to mourn your child's death, because at last for every open disgrace, banishment, punish and death, we shall all be vindicated, when we finally taste the pure blood of Esmeralda.

Vererer walks into her home, not minding the condition she had just put the couple in.

Rosa lean on her husband as her body became too weak to carry her. She couldn't stop her tears and anger as she looks up to the sky and screamed

WHY? WHY did you not just make me barren, instead of giving me a child which I would have to watch die? WHY all this suffering on my daughter? Have I not been devoted enough? Punish me instead and let my poor daughter go. Switch her place with mine, have mercy, you are a mother like me Rhea.
