WitchHunter ✔️ by EmilyAnnGoodwin
49 parts Complete
A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?

In a land where everything is structured on destiny and fate, a single destiny may cause its bane. The Larkspear kingdom was a region of prosperity, magic, and destiny. People were peaceful and happy despite the lore and the truth of the Larkspear rule and its foretold downfall. But things changed after the birth of Prince Jayden Larkspear. The entire empire went silent as people waited for the king to announce the child's name and his fate. But all they got was a name and nothing else. The very next day, a decree was passed making the use of magic in public illegal. People who used magic in any corner of the territory were killed on sight. In fear, many people fled the region, and it took years for the nation to get peace once more. For almost sixteen years, the prince never appeared in public, and speculations began to grow that the prince didn't actually exist. To finally dispel these rumours, the prince finally makes his first appearance, and his life starts to change rapidly. On another end of the social ladder stood Elizah Cohen. She was a girl with just as many rumours as the prince himself. She has been shunned by those around her and has begun to lose hope for change. The only hope she had carried for so long was also starting to get snuffed out until her life began to change. A sudden meeting and an unexpected friendship interplay to form a combination of dastardly results and destruction that has barely begun. Can they figure out what destiny has in store for them before eternal chaos unfolds itself?
