Since Amara isn't the one in control, we will be viewing most of the part of this chapter from a third person's pov.

Third Person's POV

The horror in the old witch's eyes wasn't enough to signify how afraid she really was.

Amara was still sitting on the couch, her appearance still the same, but the red glow in her eyes said otherwise. The stillness in the room was only making it worst.

"Am-Amara?" Stuttered the witch.

Amara looked up at her and smiled a very unwelcoming smile.  "I've been waiting to meet you, waiting to meet the one who wasn't allowing me to emerge." She slowly got up making the witch get up from her seat as well.

"I-I only did it to help Amara." She spoke. "The power is too strong for her to-."

"That isn't for you to decide." Amara said while slowly walking towards the witch.

"I was only trying to help, Amara." The witch matched her steps walking backwards until she hit a wall.

Amara followed her steps until she was right infront of her. One of her hand grabbed the witch's throat, pressing it lightly causing the witch to gasp.

"Don't worry, I am not going to kill you." Amara smirked. "Since you are so keen to help Amara. Why don't you help me? I am going to do what Amara wants the most. I am not asking you." Her grip tightened over the neck.

"Wha-What do yo-you want?" The witch coughed.

"I need you to find someone for me."

The forest was quiet with occasional buzzes and sounds of insects. A man was sitting there, waiting for his subordinates to report. He had been promoted after the fire incident and had been given responsibility of the group which had led the revolt in Oricos. They were checking up on the damages, making sure anyone who knew about their involvement was taken care of.

He laid his head against the tree, closing his eyes, trying to rest but a sudden crushing of leaves brought his attention to his surroundings. Were his subordinates back already? He looked around, trying to comprehend where the sound could've come from. To his surprise, nothing was there. He laid back again to rest.

His eyes were closed but his senses were still working, which told him that someone was right infront of him. This caused him to immediately open his eyes. She was right infront of him, looking down at him in disgust. The girl from the castle, the one who had insulted him. Her foolishness caused him to smirk

"Here to take revenge for your parents?"  He spoke as he got up lazily, brushing the dust off his pants.

"Oh, I'll make sure to do that." She replied with the same voice, but with a different aura, causing him to look up and register the change in the colour of her eyes. "But before that, I need you to tell me who you work for." 

He chuckled. "Do you think those contact lenses scare me? I mean, they look good and everything but, they won't get anything out from me. I'll do you a favour and let you go, boss doesn't need you. At least, not yet." He started walking away from her while waving back at her.
