Devil's Witch

Chapter 1: The Beginning

[A/N] - First Hercules fanfiction. Got inspiration from the amazing story 'Hercules and the Modern Girl' by Starswim. This is my own OC into the animation and later movie of Hercules. There is no stable shipping, the character will develop connections and slowly you readers can decide with who she will pair up.

Hope you enjoy, do not forget to comment and vote. Letting me know what you think, what you wish to see etc. I will try to update when I have time but due to University and so many other stories, no promises it will be frequent. I do promise, however, that the chapters will make your wait worth it.

In the isolated island of Aeaea, a notorious witch leaned against a crib. The house she was residing, was occupied by different species of animals, all that were once humans. Inside the crib, slept a girl that was born a few days ago.

Weak, small, and fragile with white skin and a patch of dark brown hair on top of her head. She was unaware of the look her mother gave, being far from caring.

The Witch knew the kid held magic; she could feel it even at this stage of her life. Worse though, was the fact that her beauty was a danger to her in the nearby future since the men arriving on her island could pay attention to her daughter and not her.

As she eyed the baby, thinking if she should transform it now to save her future, a figure materialised not too far away from her—the black smoke wrapped around the body before it took solid matter.

It exposed a man with greyish skin and yellow eyes, sharp teeth and dressed in a dark grey chiton with smoke at the end. Instead of hair, bright blue flames existed on top of his head.

"Circe, my babe. Look at you, always beautiful even after birth" he said, giving a smile and opening his arms as he took a few steps closer.

The woman turned to face the God, a smile on her lips. "Hades, been a while since last you visited me. Did you miss me that much?" she asked.

The man chuckled, placing his slender fingers under her chin, and pulling her closer. "You know that. How can someone not miss you."

"Tell that to the others," she said, motioning for the many men that were currently her pet animals.

"They were fools if you ask me" he charmed and let her go, moving towards the crib. "So this is the little sucker, huh?"

He looked inside, the child sleeping peacefully without a care to the world.

"Unfortunately. Don't know what I will do with her" the woman replied, and the man grinned.

"Well, I happen to have a great offer for you, babe."

"I am listening."

The god of the underworld turned to face her. "You see...I have a plan which will take place in around *thinks* 19 years or so, and I need strong minions. Now, this little...thing...bears your bloodline and strong magic. How about, I take her from you in...16 years, give or take"

The woman crossed her arms in front of her chest; her loyal snake sceptre leaned against the crib. "And what do I win from this?"

"Well, you will get rid of her competition. Isn't this what you wanted?" the woman wasn't pleased with the offer and the god left out a sigh in defeat. "Okay, look. In exchange, I will give you this *conjures a vial in his fingers, a red liquid inside* This, is something special I...' borrowed' from Aphrodite. You spray yourself, and no man will be able to resist you, ever."

The woman eyed the vial, the offer tempting her a lot. She didn't care how the said God obtained the vial and didn't want to know either. This deal was beneficial since not only she would be irresistible, but she could also get rid of the competition.
