The Devil's Cursed Witch
The tale of a man who brings death and a girl who denies it. ---- On the haunted mountain in the kingdom, they say there lived a witch. She was born a princess. But even before her birth, the priest declared her to be cursed and demanded her death. They poisoned the mother to kill the baby before she gave birth, but the baby was born out of the dead mother—a cursed child. Again and again, they tried to kill the baby but she miraculously survived every single attempt. Giving up, they abandoned her on the haunted mountain to die but she still survived on that barren land— A witch ‘Why won’t she die?’ Years later, the people finally had enough of the witch and decided to burn the mountain. But the Devil arrived to her rescue and took her with him from that burning place, because dying was not her destiny even then. Draven Amaris. The Black Dragon, who ruled over supernatural beings, the Devil who no one wished to cross a path with. He hated humans but this certain human girl would pull him towards her whenever she was in danger. ‘Is she really a human?’ He took the human with him and named this mysteriously tenacious girl “Ember”, a piece of glowing coal in a dying fire. A soul tainted with vengeance and the darkness of hell, would rise from the ashes and fulfil her revenge. ------ This is the second book from the series of The Devils and Witches. 1st book - Witch's daughter and the Devil's son. 3rd book- The Devil's Betrothed.

Failed Attempts
Once Draven disappeared from the mountain, Aureus flew towards palace with Erlos. After facing Draven's strong divine power which destroyed the peak of that huge mountain and using his own powers to protect Erlos and himself from it's effect by creating a shield of his divine power, Aureus was slower than usual to fly from that far away mountain and to arrive the palace.
Though Draven's powers were not meant to attack them and he just had to protect them from it's destructive effects, Aureus could not help but wonder what would happen if the King of Agartha ever used that power to fight with someone. The result would sure be the defeat or death of his opponent.
When they reached the palace, all they could see from the sky was whatever was going in the garden part of the palace.
They saw everyone was using their powers to break that dome shaped barrier. He could not believe his eyes for what he was seeing.
