Siren's Song

Episode 8

The witch Eudora prepared to call the bad demon who could drag that girl's soul out. She used Lily's hair on a straw doll and placed the flower to save her life. She crushed the fruit in with a specially made mortar and pestle. And then, she put some berries, blood, a lizard's tail, and phoenix feathers in it. After that, she mixed those well together and poured them upon the straw doll. She opened the altar of the demon world by turning the circle drawn on the table. She placed the straw doll at the center of the circle. At that time, the alter opened by shining out the red and yellow lights from the demon world. The demon Abil came out from the portal and stood in front of the witch. The witch said, "welcome". Abil said, "what made you come here?". The witch said, "I need your help to take this girl's soul". Abil said, " You know I can do more difficult things than that". The witch said, "I know, but this is a difficult thing to get it done". Abil said, " Okay, then let's have a look". Then, Abil took the straw doll and sensed the girl. Then, he said, "alright, I will take this task and make it happen". After that, Abil disappeared from her front. She turned to the other side to grab the plants, which she tried to plant again in a tiny pot. However, it couldn't come out of the first leaf and stem. She tried to pour the growth potion and healthy potion to boost a lot. After that, she got back to work on experimenting with the potions to kill the king and queen of Evalon little by little. The spy of the King came to watch her steps inside her own laboratory. The messenger went back to the king to report. The king allowed him in and heard everything. He moved his face to that messenger and said "keep watching for her if she is done coming to tell me about this".

The witch was getting ready for the potion for princess Phobe, who wanted to defeat her own cousin. The witch told herself "if family members can't gather as one, the enemy can defeat and break them up easily". The witch continued "I have nothing to do but help her jealous mind to the top, by destroying her cousin". Then, she opened the door of the laboratory and went upstairs to reach the princess's room. Phobe sat on the bench and did homework. The witch knocked on the door to let her in. Phobe said, "I am busy, please come back later". The witch said, "it's aunty Eudora just come up to open the door". Phobe's nanny came up to open the door. The witch Eudora said, " Oh, your nanny is here". Phobe said, "Yes, I need my nanny to finish my work to do". Eudora said, "I can help you too with your witchcraft and spell exams". Phobe said, " Really is that so Ms. Jora, please leave this place now". Ms. Jora said, "Miss, I must see your homework done and report it back to the queen". Phobe said, " You just tell mother that I did all my homework". Then, she pushed her nanny out of the room and closed the door. Then, she said 'what makes you here". She continued "I didn't see you on those days after you said you would help me". Witch Eudora said "I am trying to make a potion to help you out". She looked at the potion flask in Eudora's hand. Afterwards, she asked her what their usefulness was". Eudora said, "please be patient". Then, witch Eudora explained all about those potions' usefulness to her. She also told the princess about the warning about overusing those too.

They had conversations for hours. Later, Eudora went to the king's room and Princess Phobe went back to her desk to finish her homework. Ms. Jora was peeking behind the door and heard about their plan. She decided to tell her sister, who was the princess Lily of Evalon. She was scared of the witch. But she needed to do what she wanted to do. So, she wrote a letter in invisible ink and sent it using an owl. The trusted men of Consort Eudora watched Jora's movements all the time. So, he shot down the owl for not letting it out of the kingdom. Jora thought her letter went successfully to her elder sister.

In the kingdom of Evalon, the princess couldn't lift her own head because she was feeling dizzy all the time after she went to school with the prince of Patheon. The queen was worrying about her child. The princess thought her mother was showing her fake love when she got ill. At that time, she fainted in bed because of having a high fever. She heard her mother was scolding her nanny, maids, and also the wizard for not caring for her as much as they could. Mother told them "you must do all the best to take care of her when she's at school or the palace. They said "it's not our fault, the princess followed all our instructions and lived under our eyes". Mother asked them "why she came back like this". Then, her nanny broke into the queen's words "Possibly the prince will give her the things she has an allergy to". The queen said, "it couldn't be". But the wizard agreed to the nanny's words too. However, they told her the princess's health condition was worsening. Even physicians and the wizard Magot didn't know what happened to her. She had nightmares at night and short breaths often. The wizard sensed the demon around her room. So, he went back to school to find the recipes or other protection spells. The demon Abil took the soul of the princess little by little. That's the reason why the wizard and the witch Hermus couldn't treat them by using all of their power. One day, Abil took her to a deep forest she hadn't seen before. The spirit of Lily followed the wind's sounds by opening the window and climbing down from the ladder of berry vines to the ground. When she reached the ground, she looked at her feet and felt the wind breeze around her hair and legs. She tried to move forward to the forest little by little. At that time, she heard the voices of nannies and maids at the back of her. She knew they would take her back to the castle and lock her up. She wanted to go into the forest where the warning sign was upon it. She wanted to feel freedom for herself. So, she passed the magical tree near the forest and entered the forest. When she arrived, she looked up, down, and around the area. She couldn't see anything clearly because it was too dark to move forward. She stood up there with her pajama and a fairy toy in hand. She heard a strange voice which was calling her name. Suddenly, she saw a mystical blue light appear in front of her. She followed that light until the road ended. At the end of the road, she found a hole under the big tree's trunk. There had colorful mushrooms and beautiful bell flowers and strange berries.

She was scared of going into the hole under the ground. But the blue light ball was bouncing there along the stairs. When the light went down, she followed it by stepping on the stairs to get down. The stairs end when they reach the bottom. Then, the blue bouncing light showed the endless road in front of the stairs. She looked up at the hole where she had come down. But it seemed too far from the bottom. Therefore, she held a deep breath and decided to follow the blue light to reach the end of the tunnel. The road was too long to walk. She felt tired when it reached the middle. The blue bouncing light came up to call her again. She said, " What waits for me there my strange friend, please tell me". The blue light wasn't telling her anything, led from up to down and led the way again. She stood back and tried to move her legs again. She walked down the road for a while and saw the light at the end of the tunnel. There she saw the fireflies and everything like a magical stories her nanny always told her at night. She had a good nanny who always told ghost stories and magical stories at night before she went to sleep. Mother wasn't telling stories like this. When she knew herself, she lived with a nanny and maids rather than living with her parents. Her parents took her on their trips, sometimes not always. They were getting busy with their own businesses, so they hired maids for her. The nanny and the madam who taught the royal etiquette and ethics were taking forceful control of a little child. She was lacking active, playful and others like her friends or cousins have. She moved up to see a closer look at the magical world. The firefly came towards her and rested on her right finger. She said, "it's lovely and strange". At the same time, she saw the figure of a man who wore a white robe and horns on his head.
