"Ten thousand what?" Ava frowned when she heard the woman’s words.
"What is happening Eve?" the woman asked. "I thought you are already aware of this. Ten thousand souls of the witches. We need ten thousand souls of the witches to create a plane."
"I— " Ten thousand souls?
"It was the concept of exchange," the woman pointed at one of the walls. A circular pattern had been carved on it. Soon, Ava realized that there was a light coming from the rock on top of the circular pattern.
"The rule stated that we need an equal exchange to create a plane." The older woman said. For some reason, the name Magda came into Ava’s head. The woman’s name is Magda and she— is a dark witch.
Ava didn’t have any idea what that is. She knew there is s blood witch but she haven’t heard of a dark witch before.
"Why?" she asked.
The woman stared at her and lifted her eyebrow. "I knew you would act like a coward."
"Magda I just— "
"If you wanted to survive, you have to help me create the plane. We can live in that plane and the guardians won’t be able to find us. As my only apprentice, you shall carry on with the path that we have chosen after my demise."
"Magda— "
"Enough... the blood moon is nearly here."
"What about the souls?" she asked. Now that she had thought about it, she actually recalled Magda telling her that the souls are from the spirit realm. Ten thousand souls of people who had died on Earth and had been living in the spirit realm.
"What about it?’
"They won’t be able to reincarnate if— "
"You worry about some random stranger’s soul? What about yours? Or mine?"
"Huh?" What does that mean?
"We should start the ritual."
Ava frowned.
She took a step back and watch as the woman named Magda started chanting in a language that she couldn’t understand. She stared as the magick circle that Magda drew on the walls started to light up, fire emerged around it.
Soon, she heard a loud boom inside the cave. It was as if... someone used a bomb on top of them.
Then she heard it.
Footsteps.
And yells of humans.
She looked at Magda.
"It looked like they do not value their life after all," Magda muttered. Then she looked at her. "Stop them."
"Magda— "
"If you want to live... stop them!"
"But— " freёwebnovel-com
"It was you that they wanted to kill! You have to stop them or they will kill you!"
Kill her?
Just as she thought of that, an unknown person’s memory seemed to invade her mind. She closed her eyes as her head started throbbing. She staggered but was able to find a wall that could support her back.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that there was only silence.
"He betrayed me..." Ava said in a voice that she didn’t recognize. "He betrayed us."
She looked around. Magda had vanished.
She was still in the cave yet she was alone. The candles aren’t here. The cave was dark but she could still see everything because of the lights that penetrated through the rocks.
"The Lycan..." Ava said. "He betrayed us."
"We are not his mate."
"So... he left."
Confused Ava wondered what realm is she currently in. She hasn’t really noticed this but she was actually speaking another language. It wasn’t something from the Earth’s Realm.
"How could a lowly creature betray us?" Ava continued saying in the voice of another woman. "He betrayed us for his mate!"
Ava snorted.
"So we cursed him. We cursed him and his lover and now they are going to suffer forever."
Then Ava started laughing.
"He left us when we needed him. Did he really think we would accept him again?"
Ava swallowed. Memories of a man and a woman that she didn’t recognize filled her head. The world that they were in was different. It had monsters and... magick was accepted and even worshiped.
The woman was considered a dark magician or a dark witch. While the man... was a Lycan.
The dark witch named Eve loved the Lycan so much that she had given him everything including her womanhood. Sadly, the Lycan soon met his mate and abandoned Eve. Just as he left, Eve discovered that she was pregnant with his child.
But the child was taken too early. The child died just a few minutes after she gave birth.
In her sadness... she devoured her own son’s flesh thinking that this would make her one with him. And this affected her magick.
In her anger, she started killing the Lycans, and the one who pushed her to do this was her very own mother... Magda, the dark witch.
Ava couldn’t help but pity the woman’s past but her sympathy vanished when Eve started devouring other people’s dead children. She did it to become more powerful. In the end, she got what she wanted.
She had become more powerful but her body suffered. Her hair had fallen, her skin shriveled, her teeth fell. She was in her twenties and yet she already looked like an old woman.
Because of her hideous appearance and dark magic, many humans and supernaturals started hunting her. To resolve the matter, her mother did something impossible.
She created a plane.
She sacrificed the soul of more than ten thousand witches and children to create a small plane where she and her daughter could live.
While she succeeded, Eve and Magda were the only ones inside the dead plane. A plane that was made of souls was ominous and dark. The loneliness slowly affected their personality. While Magda became crazier and crazier, Eve had become more obsessed with her Lycan lover’s descendants.
She wanted to hurt her ex-lover so she did everything to make him suffer. She slowly killed his brothers and sisters. She watched as her lover wept. But this didn’t give her the satisfaction that she wanted. To her, the Lycan didn’t suffer enough.
So she decided to do something so unforgivable. She killed Lycan’s child and devoured the child in front of her ex-lover.
"In the end... we died in the hands of the man that we loved." the voice uttered.
