Chase P.O.V
"What happened after that?" I asked curiously, from what I have heard she seemed like a great person. But she changed this much now that she wanted to destroy this entire world she helped in building. "I am not sure, there are so many stories about how she became evil" Alyssa said fidgeting with her fingers. I frowned, there must be truth somewhere, "What story have you heard?" I asked staring at her, she looked around nervously like she is afraid of something, "Tell us Alyssa" Alexander urged, by now everyone was listening to her attentively "Its just, the story I have heard is a little cruel" she murmured looking at the ground. "Tell away" I said wanting to understand the behavior of Rose's nature. "I heard that she fell in love with the man she found wandering in her home" she said.
"Lazarus, who she has attacked" Alexander confirmed and she nodded in response.
"Yeah, Lazarus, they were happy for a while living in bliss, she finally found someone who can complete the void in her heart, everything was going so well but like it said it was calm before the storm" she said her expression turning grave at end. "She left Baruna for some time because there was some kind of diseases spreading killing people and they needed her help, it took her year to stabilize the condition there, when she came back, Lazarus was nowhere to be find" I furrowed my brow, did he leave her without any reason?
"She was heartbroken, she searched for him everywhere but unable to find him. At last, she took a help from Witch to find her love, after so many efforts she finally found him and went there to get him. When she reached there, she saw her worst nightmare, her Love, her Lazarus was married to a witch and he had created a family with her" she continued, I pursed my lips joining the dots about what will happen afterward. "Feeling betrayal from the only person she loved, her heart filled with pain and anger and she killed every one there, not even sparing the little children. But she couldn't kill Lazarus even after this and he was crying holding the body of his dead children, Wife of Lazarus wasn't there that time but when she came back and saw the massacre, she cursed Rose to imprisoned forever in the Baruna but Rose was much powerful for the Witch to handle alone so the Witch asked helped from her Ancestors and cast away the power of Rose in Gem believing that Killing her was impossible. Rose beautiful white wings turned into coal black because of the curse, her heart filled with anger and more pain and she swore when she come back she will take the revenge on that witch. She helped these people leaving her life behind and in return they pay her back by doing this deed. She lived in Baruna for centuries after the curse trying to find the way to break it but not to avail. She tried using black magic which weakened her and she lived in that state for many years. After that every one slowly forget about her and no one knows what happened" she said sighing.
"Witch was cruel enough to hide the Gem in the Baruna which Rose can not hold herself because it was bewitched" She finished.
"But the other day, you told us that Rose was pure evil and she wanted the powerful man as a mate so she killed the entire village" I said, she told us different story the other day and now she is telling something else. What to believe and what not.
Witch seemed startled for a bit for a second but she composed herself quickly "I told you, there are different version for her story, in some she is spawn of devil, in others she is the gift from the angels, its hard to say which version is true and which not" she said looking at all of us, her gaze finally met mine and she quickly averted her eyes away.
What is the truth then?
But I figured out what must have happened after that. Emerald came in this forest not knowing the danger and Rose latched on to her. She absorbed the spell knowing very well it will weaken her enough to kill her and Emerald was very important for most people. They won't let her die. She was the one who told Emerald to get the Gem because it was the only way to save her. She played tricks after tricks and we fell right through it. I chuckled humorlessly, clapping my hands. Alex looked at me in concern while others stared at me thinking I am going mad.
