The Devil's Cursed Witch
The tale of a man who brings death and a girl who denies it. ---- On the haunted mountain in the kingdom, they say there lived a witch. She was born a princess. But even before her birth, the priest declared her to be cursed and demanded her death. They poisoned the mother to kill the baby before she gave birth, but the baby was born out of the dead mother—a cursed child. Again and again, they tried to kill the baby but she miraculously survived every single attempt. Giving up, they abandoned her on the haunted mountain to die but she still survived on that barren land— A witch ‘Why won’t she die?’ Years later, the people finally had enough of the witch and decided to burn the mountain. But the Devil arrived to her rescue and took her with him from that burning place, because dying was not her destiny even then. Draven Amaris. The Black Dragon, who ruled over supernatural beings, the Devil who no one wished to cross a path with. He hated humans but this certain human girl would pull him towards her whenever she was in danger. ‘Is she really a human?’ He took the human with him and named this mysteriously tenacious girl “Ember”, a piece of glowing coal in a dying fire. A soul tainted with vengeance and the darkness of hell, would rise from the ashes and fulfil her revenge. ------ This is the second book from the series of The Devils and Witches. 1st book - Witch's daughter and the Devil's son. 3rd book- The Devil's Betrothed. All books are connected to each other but you can read them as stand-alone.
Lesson For Erlos And Ember
One of them spoke, "Aureus, just watch. Don't intervene."
The younger Divine Eagle who was about to lunge paused. "Shouldn't we help? Erlos is alone and looks to be struggling. The King's mate is there as well."
"Don't worry. Erlos is not that weak to fail handling a few brainless orcs," Morpheus countered as the two landed on the top of a tree far enough to not be noticed by those fighting near the river.
Morpheus' gaze landed on Ember, the human girl visibly shaking as she hid behind a cluster of boulders, and for a moment, he was tempted to intervene and bring her away immediately but…he dropped the idea. Morpheus was hailed as the strongest warrior of Agartha, and as someone who practically lived his whole life in the battlefield, he could have dealt with those orcs in a matter of seconds.
But what good would that too? It would be helpful to the growth of Erlos' and Ember's mentalities if they were allowed to solve this problem on their own.
