The emerald held the power of all the witches. Hence, it was guarded heavily by witches to avoid history to repeat itself
Centuries ago a demon was adopted by the witches. It was very surprising because of all the earthly creatures to adopt another specie
Witches!
Everyone thought of them as wicked weirdos using spells to torment the world
The demon grew up in their midst as part of them. He had knowledge of the witches more than he did of the demons.
Scampering through the forest where he went to gather some leaves for the witches' spell. He came across a creature bound in fig leaves. The creature looked numb and worn out like it had been bound for a long time. He drew near to the figure and touched it. It felt warm indicating life and looked masculine.
Driven by empathy he cut off some part of the leaves to have a clear view of this creature
"Freedom!" The masculine creature roared immediately the leaves were cut off. His eyes turned dark as he looked around the environment.
Then his eyes caught the young whimpering creature
The demon looked at him with eyes filled with perplexity
Wondering what had just happened
The creature grabbed him by the hand
And immediately used it's teeth to graze in his skin. The demon flinched and tried to loosen from it's grip. But immediately he tried to, the creature sank it's teeth deep into his skin
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" The demon screamed but the creature didn't give up
It sucked every ounce of blood from him
Until his skin turned white and he dropped dead
Then the creature assumed its full form and left
***
The witch family taking care of the demon waited till the dawn of the next day but still no sign of their son. They informed the coven of witches and immediately a search party was formed.
The witches used their magic to track down his scent and it directed them to the enchanted forest.
Oh no!
They hurried to the forest and their fears became reality.
Dayanara had been set free!
Dayanara was once a guardian of the emerald. The day he had a taste of the emerald's power was the day his rebellion began. The power which the emerald held was capable of making the witches to be totally in control of the earth and it's creatures if it's power were exercised
He went to the coven of the witches and made known his motive of witch dominance
But his offer was rejected
Still, he didn't give up
He formed an army of his fellow rebels
Dayanara and his followers put the whole witches at war. He fought the witches trying as hard as he could to get hold of the emerald. His followers were all killed but he was almost invincible because of the dark magic he praticed.
All the weavers had to come together and weave a spell that would keep him bound for eternity. He could only be set free if a creature with a pure heart would cut the apex of the leaf.
Creatures with pure hearts that don't have negative thoughts were very hard to find,
So the grounds of his freedom seemed impossible.
The witches grieved the loss of the demon who was now one of them and prepared for the war which was obviously ahead of them
The security around cave where the emerald is kept was tightened. All the witches trained themselves and their powers.
A great war was at hand
They knew Dayanara had gone into hiding to fully renew his powers before he could get back at them
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. The generation of the witches that witnessed the break free of Dayanara had gone but not without passing the knowledge of the return of Dayanara to their children
The security at the cave was top notch
Every witch awaited the return of Dayanara
But was he ever going to return?
