The Ballad of Livena SongStar

Chapter 4 - The Witch and the Wolf King

The next day Livena and Arskan got to the border of the Kingdom of Altencia. And began their search for the witch of death in hopes that She may give Livena some answers to her prayers.

They searched for a while until they found the home of Elisena. They walked through the small path that leads to the house that is inside a large tree.

Livena took a glance at the several tomb stones that is on the right of her. And sees the several names of different people with their date of birth and date of death.

Even their place of birth was written on the tomb stones as well. Which made her think of Andon and if people has buried his remains right about now.

Thinking about it made her even sadder and more determined to bring her loved ones back to life. Livena got to the door and was about to knock on it when it slowly began to open.

Livena and Arskan stared into the darkness of the house as they heard the howls of the wind. Livena took a deep breath and entered inside the house while Arskan hesitated for a second before He also went inside.

They walked down the corridor until they reached a room with a large cauldron. A large book shelf on the left side of the room that has many books.

All of them are either about magic or records of people who has passed away from this life. On the right there was a bed with a mirror attached to the ceiling with strange markings on it.

Arskan looks around the room and said to Livena as He felt creeped out. "Okay... We found the lair of the witch of bloody death...

So where is the witch herself?" Livena walked over to the bed with the mirror. And took a closer look at the markings as they began to glow with a red light.

She reached her hand to touch it but stopped when a crow flew through the open window. Startling Arskan and Livena as it made cawing sounds and flew circles around the room.

The crow then dived into the cauldron and it began to boil and shine with a green light. The cauldron stopped boiling and shining as a woman with raven black hair and pitch black eyes emerged from it.

The woman looks at the pair and said as She stepped out of the cauldron. "Ah, visitors, I do apologise for making You two wait. I had a little errand to run."

Livena looks at the woman and says. "Are You Elisena? I were told by the great spirit to come to You for help."

Elisena puts on her robe and says with a small smile. "So Diven sent You here? So what may I help You with, my dear?"

Livena looks at her and says with a pleading look on her face. "I... I want You to help me bring my husband and child back.

I lost them not so long ago and I wish to be reunited with them..." Elisena looks at her and says with a calm look on her face.

"So You wish to be reunited with Your loved ones? I can help You with that if You do a little Favor for me."

Livena looks at Elisena and says with a desperate tone in her voice. "Please I do anything, just tell me what You want and I shall give it to You."

Elisena looks at her and says with a small smile. "I want blood..." Livena were a bit surprised to hear this and says.

"You want blood? If You want it then You can take as much as You want from my..." Elisena started laughing a little making Livena a bit confused.

Elisena stopped laughing and told the young red haired woman. " I don't want Your blood, I want the blood of a werewolf..."

Arskan looks at Elisena and said with a bit of a surprised look on his face. "I beg Your pardon? You want us to go and get the blood of a werewolf?
