~The Dark Demon Curse~

Chapter 3:~The Story of Amara~

Lorielle tended to Aidan with a wet cloth while Charline took care of Emersion. "Who was that woman?," Thondin asked worriedly. Silvianna sighed but did not answer. Aidan looked up slightly. "She is one of The fallen," he declared, "She was the child of Adrienne who did not become a Demon Hunter but a witch instead. And a very powerful one," And Faylinn sighed. "What do you think she's after?," Aidan sighed, "Revenge. Revenge on the gods who imprisoned her," And Silvianna sighed. "Your parents were two of them who helped banishing her after the war," she explained. There was a complete silence for a few minutes before Thondin spoke. "So how shall we defeat this Amara?," The dwarf asked. Aidan sighed, "We'll need the gods help. That means I have to travel back to Solania," Silvianna shook her head, "You are in no condition to travel through any portal!," And Aidan turned to his aunt, "I'll be fine! And you cannot stop me!," And he left the hall after grabbing his sword. Lorielle swallowed and hurried after her brother in law.

"Aidan! Aidan, wait!," Lorielle yelled after the god. She grabbed his arm. Aidan sighed and turned to her. "What?," he exclaimed angrily. Lorielle sighed and looked down. "I'm sorry. Just be careful. I care for you. Deeply," And Aidan smiled weakly and softly kissed her hand. "I'll be fine," he declared and passed her.

Emersion sat in his and Charles's chambers in complete silence when he was interrupted by his infant son Aldon's small cries from the childbed. He slowly walked over to the bed and gently took his baby son's little hand. He smiled softly at his son. "You're the most precious thing in my life and won't let any harm ever come to you," he whispered softly. Emersion sat down in his and Charline's bed once again when his son was peacefully asleep again. He pulled out a magic blue crystal and sighed.

"Emersion! Look!," Amara exclaimed as she took out fire in her hand. Emersion smiled and shook his head in amusement. "Amara, we are on mission! Focus!," And he drew his demon blade. Amara looked at him interestingly and confused. "Why do you always look so miserable? Have you ever been in love?," she asked curiously. Emersion shook his head. "No, I've never been in love," he admitted, "I've been a Demon Hunter ever since I was ten years old. Got my first Demon Rune, The Demon Power Rune when I was eleven. Remember, we're Demon Hunters. Feelings clouds judgement," And Amara shook her head, "I don't believe that. I think emotions give us power. Come on, you agreed to learn me magic not this!," And Emersion smiled softly at her, "Patience, young sorceress. We shall soon begin,"

Amara focused and took out fire in her hand. Emersion smiled proudly. "You're getting better. Just remember, never let the power overtake you. You must be the leader or you can end up becoming evil," And Amara nodded.

Emersion woke up to yelling and screaming of other Demon Hunters in the middle of the night. He quickly got out of the bed and got dressed, grabbing his demon sword and hurried out of his chambers.
He came out to see Amara standing among dead Demon Hunters and one alive which she was holding his heart in her hand. "Amara, what have you done?," Emersion asked shocked. Amara looked at him. "I'm sorry, Emersion. You didn't tell what it felt to be so strong, Emersion. To have such power like you. I drank from the Demon Well. And now, I am a child of Adrienne too," Emersion swallowed and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. What matters is that you're holding a man's heart in your hand," he began, "Please, spare him," And Amara looked at him angrily, "He doesn't deserve sparing!," And Emersion shook his head, "But if you kill, you're magic will turn dark," And Amara looked at him, "Adrienne and her demons took my home and my family! He deserves this! I lose everything because of her!," And Emersion sighed, "But if you do this, then we have lost everything," And Amara crushed the Demon Hunter's heart. "NO!," Emersion exclaimed and Amara watched her clothes slowly turn dark and Emersion fell to his knees. "I'm sorry," Amara whispered. Emersion shook his head, "No, Amara. I am sorry,"

Emersion closed his eyes in tears and shook his head and Charline entered the chambers. "Emersion, what's wrong?," she asked worriedly and sat down beside him in the bed. Emersion swallowed, "I knew her. She was my friend. Amara, she was my friend and it's my fault she's evil," And Charline pulled him into her arms and hugged him tightly.
