The Devil's Cursed Witch-Chapter 389 Weapon

Morpheus and Aureus reached Zelda's place, the village of Black Witches.

As they landed outside the cottage, Morpheus spoke, "You can wait here."

"What are you going to do that I am not allowed to come with you?" Aureus asked.

Morpheus looked at him, "You sure can come but I don't want you to see and hear something which might made you disappointed in me."

"That's up to me to decide if I will be disappointed or not."

Morpheus smiled playfully, "I don't want you to be disappointed, when we have met finally. Wait here. I will be back soon. Later I will surely let you come with me when we meet Thala."

Aureus could not argue with him and stayed outside while looking at his uncle with a gaze of suspicion. 'He looks like he is ….'

"Are you a golden eagle?" a voice disturbed his thoughts.

Aureus turned to look at the little girl around the human age of six to seven years old, standing behind him, a cute little black witch. He nodded, "Yes, I am"

"You are beautiful just as everyone has been saying," the girl said which brought a smile to his face. "Thank you…," he stopped, "…may I know your name."

"Lina," the girl answered.

"You are also beautiful, Lina."

"Thank you, Mister…."

"Aureus," he told her his name.

"Mister Aureus, would you like to see my lamb? She is beautiful as well."

Aureus nodded and followed the little girl. Anyways his uncle was not going to let him know anything but he decided to be alert.

Morpheus entered the cottage where Zelda was busy knitting while sitting in the couch of her drawing room as she looked immersed in her thoughts.

"What are you thinking so deeply that you didn't even realise my arrival?" Morpheus asked, he walked inside and made himself sit on the chair opposite to her.

She looked at him with a displeased gaze. "Do you even have a right to ask it?"

"Seems like I am the reason," he chuckled, "Have you prepared what I have asked you to?"

She frowned, "I wish I could decline your offer but…."

"But you can't because you know this is the right thing to do."

"No, because I am repaying you for what you did to help us back then."

"Then, you should not be so displeased," he added.

"The King is the most powerful and you know it. You can't just do this…."

"He is the most powerful but I have my ways. His weakness is to play with his emotions and he becomes weaker. This is how I am overpowering him for so long whenever we fight but that emotional Dragon doesn't know it. This time, I don't have a chance to play with his emotions to make him weaker so I need other way."

She frowned, "After this, I will have nothing to do with you."

"You know it well that after this, I won't have anything to do with anyone as well."

Anger rose on her face as she put her hand forward and a small piece of paper appeared on her hand, "Take this and don't bug me ever again."

"Your wish will be fulfilled." Morpheus got that paper flying towards him and opened it. There was a design of a weapon drawn. "Such a beautiful weapon to die with."

"You can leave," she said, as anger rose in her eyes.

"Thank you for your help Zelda," he said and went out of the cottage while Zelda looked at him with a sad gaze.

Coming out of the cottage, Morpheus saw Aureus talking with a little girl who was showing him her lamb.

"Hey, Lina," Morpheus called for her, offering her a sweet gentle smile.

Lina observed him for a while as her eyes darkened little as if her dark power was surfacing. Aureus was surprised to see this change in her.

"A weapon? I see you….."

"Lina," Morpheus called her sweetly and kneeled in front of her as he held her hand. The powers surfacing insider her disappeared the next moment and the girl got back to her senses.

Aureus could feel his uncle had stopped her from speaking.

"My sweet little girl, I have something for you," Morpheus said, totally diverting her attention.

"What is it?" the girl asked.

Something appeared in Morpheus' hand. A small stone that shined under the son and emitted multiple color rays if one rotate it under the son.

The girl looked at it, "It's beautiful."

"It's for you," he put it in her hand and stood up, "we are in a hurry today. See you later."

The girl nodded as she looked at the stone in her hand with aww.

Once again Aureus frowned at his uncle's quickness and followed him. "What was she saying? A weapon?"

"It's nothing much. You will know once we go to Thala."

"If I would know then why did you stop her from speaking."

"She is a little black witch who can see the near future but it's not good for her innocent mind to see the things which she should not."

"And what are those things?"

"The prophecy in the ominous vision," Morpheus answered. "Now don't ask more things as we are getting late already. That old sulking witch Thala might not entertain us if we are late."

They increased the speed and went to the spirit circle.

This time Morpheus didn't have to wait to enter the spirit circle as the door opened for him on his own.

"She already knows we arrived," Morpheus said and walked inside the old looking cottage along with Aureus. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

Thala was sitting on the couch alone while her other two sisters were not there.

"Where are the other two?" Morpheus asked as he walked further inside while Aureus offered Thala a greeting nod.

"Having them around would be a nuisance," Thala replied as she looked at the both.

Morpheus didn't comment on this, "I have brought what we needed." A piece of paper appeared on his palm as it flew towards Thala.

Thala held that piece of paper and opened it, "Hmm, so this is how it looks."
