The Dream Saga - Chapter 55

The king was standing at the gates of the “Witch of Endor,” hoping to bring his son back to life. It scared him to enter inside a home of an evil banished witch. Because it was no guarantee of his or his child’s return, still he had to play the wager. The life of his newborn only mattered to him at the moment. He was ready to go to any extent, even to give his life for the life of his precious heir.

With all these thoughts in his mind, he entered through the doors into the wicked home of the evil witch.

As he put his first step inside the building, the door behind him got closed shut.With a thud sound, which seemed to be intentional.

Thud…

He was sweating and was a bit of worried.

But anyone would sweat if they have to enter inside a home of a witch. Because a witch is a type of creature that even the devils avoid to cross paths with.

The inside structure of the building was creepy, as he had expected. There were spiders crawling in every corner of the hallway. They looked creepy, but they feared him, because it doesn’t matter how much of venomous one is, they’d never be a match for ‘The lord of flies, Beelzebub.

The carpet he was walking on was made up of leather it had small threads, like things sticking out of it. He thought it was some normal leather but turned out that weren’t threads. It was hair, which is found on the body of a human.

It was all gloomy and weird from tip to toe, not a single thing there was normal. The king was moving forward into the hallway. At the end of the hallway, an enormous door blocked his way and on the other side, a big lobby awaited for him.

He unlocked the door and got himself into the lobby. It was enormous as hell. There were plenty of rooms from which weird noises were coming. While moving into the lobby, he sneak-peeked into one of the rooms. Inside of the room, he saw Succubus and incubus pleasing their clients in exchange of life source.

“What kind of shitty place is this?” He made a disgusted face and moved forward into the lobby. Just for his precious baby.

At the end of the lobby, there was a room with candles lit up at the entrance. He was sure that it was the room of the boss, “The Witch of Endor”. He hesitated at first before entering inside, but he had no choice. He looked at the face of his son, which was now started to decay. He closed his eyes and entered the room.

Inside the room, the Witch was sitting lazily on a throne made up of flayed bodies of wizards. Her room was lit up with candles. The walls of the room were made up of bones and skulls. The witch looked at him and a smirk appeared on her face.

She looked like she was a bad news, her appearance can be classified as scary. She was wearing a dress that was made up of fur and silk, it had blood stains all over it, she wore a necklace made up of fingers, her hair was long black hair up to her hips. She had a beautiful face with different light gray colored eyes.

It was the first time he saw her or, to be precise, it was the first time a person from this continent saw her face, or maybe it was the last too.

“What are you looking at Daniel, have you never seen a beautiful woman before?” She taunted me for looking at her body continuously.

“No, that’s not. I’m not a kind of person who would get mad after a body of witch!”

“Ah, I forgot who you were, a devil. I should have been prepared for this spicy reply.”

“I know we devils hate you witches, but I’m not here to argue on that . I’m here for something else.”

“Ah, I forgot you’re here to get a kiss of death.”

“What do you mean?”

“Ah love, nothing, just kidding, you are so serious. Anyway, what you’re here for?”

“I know you won’t help me for free, so I will pay you with whatever you ask. I even once helped you when the devils came to burn you, remembered ? That makes a valid point to help me.”

“Hey, you talk too much. Calm down. Now first of all

Ha hahaha” She calmed him down, and a laughed in a vicious tone. He did not know why she was laughing so insanely.

After a sec, she controlled her laughter, but she was still giggling.

“What do you think I am? A fox? A nine tails? Do you really think I care for these favors ?? But I won’t tease you more!”

“I will come straight to the point. I can help. But only in an exchange for something.”

“What do you want in exchange? I can get you anything if you bring my baby back to life!!” He exclaimed with  determination . Without a second thought, he agreed to the deal the witch proposed.

“Ha-ha, that’s the fun part. I won’t tell what I’ll take. I will take whatever I like!! Are you sure?”

“Yes, I am sure. If it can bring him back, I won’t step back!”

“Hmm, that’s what I wanted to listen! Bring the baby to me.” The deal was done, and the witch was ready to fulfill her part.

“AH, bad luck.” As the witch took the baby in her arms, she yelled as she saw his face.

“What wrong? What bad luck ?!” the king shouted frightfully in worry.

“You’re late Daniel, it’s been so long since he died, he can’t be saved now.”

“What do you mean by it’s late, it’s not even fifteen hours since he died.”

“He died long ago when he was in his mother’s womb, maybe around six months. His soul might have been reincarnated into someone else by now.”

After hearing these words from the mouth of the witch, the king got on his knee. He was completely defeated now , he had no hope left. But when he thought it was over, the witch said something unexpected.

“BUT THERE’S ANOTHER WAY!”

“WHAT?”
