Chapter 1 -The wish

The year is 144 of the lama calendar . It was heavily raining in the larca county . The rain had a certain smell to it . the smell of blood , fear and despair .

The forest behind the larca county a place where the ancient witch reside , a being that was dreaded in all parts of the continent , a being that is said to an eldritch creature capable of even go up against an entire army.

The forest was very lush but it was always engulfed in sense fog . Young women are seen wandering into the forest hypnotized and never to see again . People have tried to go up against the witch but anyone who goes into the forest comes back with there mind shattered , speaking only in gibberish .

In that jungle a young girl is seen covered in mud and blood . Her cloths torn here and there she was out of breath and panting . Her eyes were bloody . Her skin pale and her hair dark . She was wearing a pure white dress which highlighted the blood stains . She was walking on her bare feet which was swollen . She walked through the fog trying to getting away from the underground chamber of the ancient witch , but no matter how long she walked she always ended up right in front of the entrance of the underground chamber .

She was exhausted from all restless running and blood loss . Then slowly a voice was becoming louder and louder from all other noises in the forest . She heard the voice that felt like it was being whispered in her ear . It was calling towards her , it was coming from the underground chamber . She was afraid to return to where she barely escaped from , even if she didn’t wanted to go she couldn’t control her body . she walked towards the underground chamber with a frightened mind .

She started to walk towards the darkness in the other side of the tunnel without seeing light at the other end and the light behind her fading away . she walked through the absolute darkness without even turning back , as much as she wanted to scream and run away from this place , her body wouldn’t listen to her , she walked as if she was tied up by a string and she was being pulled from the other end . she could feel the cold ground under her feet becoming colder and colder , as she kept walking she saw a dim light coming from in front of her .

Finally she reached the other end of the tunnel . A place that . A place where she barely escaped from and the only place she had seen since she was born . She squinted her eyes from the sudden exposure to light after walking through darkness for so long .

She could hear the voice again . The voice was otherworldly , it felt like a melody that warms your heart and make you feel like you are standing in the meadow covered in flowers with gentle breeze touching your cheek but at the same time it also feel like the screams of thousands wretched souls crying in agony , being punished for their irredeemable crimes .

She opened her eyes and saw a large unhuman creature which had reached the ceiling of the cave , attached to its body there were the faces and body parts from hundreds of women all over it . She knew from a glace that the voice wasn’t coming from that monster but something that was in front of it . White , glowing threads swirling and twisting in eerie , luminous circles .

“ state thy name , who has woken me from my eternal slumber “ the voice commanded . The girl was terrified , with her hands trembling and cold sweat forming on her forehead , words wouldn’t come of her mouth . She spoke with a

Frightened tone with her words shaking . “ I .... am anna “ .

“ anna , you have brought me to the world of the living “ . The voice came from the creature that was in front of anna . The voice paused for a second and then continued . “ I shall give you a wish , you can have whatever you desires “ . Anna’s heart was beating really fast , she felt excited after hearing that , but the excitement faded away after hearing the next words that came from the creature .
