Who Is Ester Winch?

Chapter 12- The Birth of Marius

In the book of Azathot, the world started as an infinite white space of nothingness. For Azathot, the pureness hurts his eyes so he painted the space as black but the darkness causes him not to see therefore he made a huge ball everywhere and put a fire on it to make a light. The lights keeps on burning out so he made gas, accidentally he discovered something… there's this one ball that won't light up instead the gas is covering it.

Azathot didn’t pay heed instead he again keeps wandering in the space. As time goes by he saw the ball again and this time the ball is now green and blue. He take a closer look and examine it…unaware of what he done, he made a Gaia and the only that is left –is living things. And then, a light bulb moment appears to Azathoth…to ease his loneliness–he’s going to make a civilization.

First, he made humans from his blood and since they cannot live with only plants and water so he made an ecosystem in that way humans could live longer.

Azathot felt weakened…he never know that making a civilization could taken up this much of his power so he needed to rest but he cannot live the humans alone by their selves since he cannot use his power anymore therefore with his flesh…he made the 12 High Beings.

The 12 High Beings will be the one to keep an eye to all Human beings, they will cherish it as the most precious treasure of Azathot.

His job is done and now he needed to sleep but will be woken up in hundreds of years. Once he woke up, he will be with his humans.

As Azathot is in slumber, his 12 High Beings also did their job…they taught the humans all about goodness and no crimes arises ever since the beginning of the world

The human is in unity and no one could break their bond. As such, no one knows even Azathot that he also made evil in his world.

That evil made demons, causes rampage and corrupted the humans. Meanwhile, the 12 High Beings were troubled on how to help the humans even their power is not enough to execute the demons if they keep on producing in Hell.

The Humans can’t fight because they’re not taught to, since all their life is only about goodness and this only makes the problem worst for the 12 High Beings. Besides, the 12 High Beings shall not interfere with the affairs of Humans.

As the cases of death keep on increasing by the hand of demons, the 12 High Beings cannot bear it anymore.

They have chosen a human, who will be the one to receive the blessings of the 12 High Beings and with this, she will be the one to save and protect all humans.

She was a success, a hero, and a savior to all humans. As she fight the demons, she also trained all humans how to fight and protect themselves from danger.

She's always been praised and all the attention is on to her. But unexpectedly, this got through to her head and turn her into arrogant. The 12 High Beings heard about this and confront her but after she came back…she stopped working and always lock herself in.

One time, she was asked to help defeat the demons in the other village and she agreed but when she came back, her body was full of blood that it looks like she just bathed with it and not only that, a villainous smile plaster in her face with a sword in her hand.

The People got scared and in their minds, they thought that in anytime she would killed them and this is not their Hero anymore.

She keeps on walking, giggling and heads down.

Nothing happened…she just keeps on walking and head to her home.

The Next day, a voiced was heard from the sky, it was from the First of the 12 High Beings.

He stated, “Anybody whom states her name, a great curse will be placed upon them.” then it ended.

They started calling her The Witch of Winch's Castle. People are fussing over her about what happened and some tried going into her home to look.

And then…

A news was spread throughout the World that the 12 High Beings cursed the Hero in her home.

The Witch was the talk in the town but after time pass… they stopped for the reason that they are afraid to be cursed evidently, they had forgotten about her.

…

Ester's POV.

I watched every movement, expression, tone, and words that came out from Rom's mouth to know if he's lying or telling the truth. I don't usually do this…examining people like they were a suspect of a certain crime, something came up to me like a spark telling me to question everything and it felt like I’ve been doing this all my life.

First, there’s something I needed to confirm.

“Rom, can you give me a mirror?”

His face was puzzled.

“Why did you need the mirror for?” asked Rem.

“Just give it to me. I need to check something.”

“Just give us a minute.”

Rom and Rem found a human-sized mirror in a corner and brought it to me.

“Here.”

He faced it to me.

I looked at myself and touched my cheeks to know if it’s really me.

It was shocking.
