Daciantha and Hierantha, the two kingdoms where the interval is a snake-shaped river. But, after the treachery happened, and a forbidden love made the two kingdoms split into four empires. Daciantha, was ruled by witches. The land of the curses, witchcraft, potion, and spells. Heirantha, the kingdom of the alphas and beta. But, no one ever imagine that the two kingdoms were ruined because of love.

We have four empires, namely, Ithaca in the West, Acluzair in the North, Zatca in the South, Safixa in the East. Those empires now, were ruled by witches and werewolves. The pixie and mermaid, be never seen after the war happened. They never love meddling in troubles or even joining in the battlefield, they prefer being at peace.

And it remains a tale. A tale of howls and curses in the wind.

And me? I am the goddess, drowning in the beauty of lychnis— my flowers. It was a night, the orabelle slowly fading its light, the darkness slowly overwhelmed the whole garden in the middle of the dark forest.

I decided to go the magic river, in where a silver bridge connect to the another forest. I slowly brought my feet into the water and there dipped my two feet and spontaneously closed my eyes, feeling the breeze of air that seemed to bite into my system.

“ The same empty feeling, again,” I said, as I glanced mournfully at the moon. I was only with the moon. Except for four witches, I have no other family. All this, I don't know the story of my past. Prioz and I both grew up in the care of four witches. My supposed lifelong pleasure instantaneously gone, as soon as the destined woman came into that world.

“What does Calixta have that I don't have? Is it because she's more powerful than me? Is it because she has a family, while me? I'm just alone.” I chuckled, as I said those words.

“Prioz? Yeah, she got the attention of Prioz. My evil aunts also. I don't really understand, I'm not enough? I'm not pretty enough for them?"

I took a deep breath and decided to leave that river. A miserly smile flashed on my lips as I walked back to the garden of lychnis. The four Mistress of the Witch Land, sent me to guard those roses, those fiery red roses.

Without any hesitation, I tried to spread my arms and act like that I'm ready to fly, when suddenly, my cloak fell in my head. I shifted my gaze at the night sky covered by the dark clouds, making it surreal.

"If I will be given a chance to cherish those moments with them, again, I will never waste every second with them..."

After saying those words, I immediately walked upon the rustling sound of the dry leaves of the forest. I was about to step my left foot, when suddenly, a howl coming from the end of the forest, roaring that makes my body tremble for a moment.

The trail of the butterflies and fireflies, lost its light, and only an orabelle coming from the moonlight kiss. I just shuddered and tried to divert my attention. I went to lychnis and let my fingers trails in the flowers. But still, I can still feel my sweats dripping in my forehead because of agitation that I felt.

"A howl? It can be Prioz. . . But no, he's busy with the four Mistress."

I don't want myself drown to be that howl, but the moment I want to fly with my brisk broom, another howl—but this time, it was loud enough to cover the whole forest. Oblivion and fear shrouds in myself, but I found a way. I climb in the tree branches and thread into it formally. I'm on the place, where I can clearly see the other side.

The silver bridge, according to the prophecy. It was thousands of witches sacrificed their lives, to build that silver bridge. I gasped, when I heard a rustling sound mixed by a loud howl from the end of the forest.

With my trembling hand, I took one piece of lychnis and turned it into a wand. I muttered in the calm wind, but suddenly, a roaring sound of wolf rushing towards me, and ready to scratch me with his sharp nails, instantaneously, my cloak fell in my head that caused my face to expose.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” I asked him, almost muttering those words. He didn't answer, but a loud howl can be heard. The formerly ferocious wolf is now meekly staring at me. “ Please, shift in to your human form. I want to see you.”

I could not understand why I was dizzy because of the sudden smoke that engulfed my entire body. Furthermore, I grabbed my roses and there took strength not to fall to the ground. Not only that, but I saw white smoke enveloping the white werewolf, and in a moment of it, he transformed into his human form.

“Come with me. I will show you to the paradise,” he said, smirking in his face and trying to convince me.

Listening to his words, but my mind can't think anymore. But, I could no longer bear my headache and the trembling of my knees from the freezing, I found myself who fell into a stout arm. I saw a shadow, and it was even a shadow. I can say that this man was having a well-toned body.

“What do you mean of paradise?” I asked him using my hoarse voice and last strength of my body, I can feel that it was a poisonous smoke; only made by the alphas and beta.

Is he an Alpha or Beta?

“Home…” sparingly said of the werewolf. I am losing my sight, strength. The smoke was really poisonous, that can make me lead into death.

“H-House? D-do you want me to take in your house?” I uttered those words. With my one eye opened, I saw a pair of golden eyes looking at me intensely, gaze at me like I'm the most beautiful view in the whole empires.

Without blinking, the stranger, carried me, and a few moments later, I heard him howl a bit in my left ear. It brought shivers in my body.

“I said home, not house. You will know if take you in that place. But for now, rest.” That's the last word that I heard, before oblivion have taken me.
