The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 390

"It's from Leeora's vision that Zelda gets to see," Morpheus answered.

Thala observed it carefully, "A lovely weapon to create. After so long, finally I have a chance to create one."

"You should thank me for giving you an opportunity," Morpheus countered.

"Dream on," she sneered and looked at Aureus, "Young eagle, will you mind sparing a few drops of your blood?"

"I do mind unless I know what it is for," Aureus said straightforwardly.

"I won't say it is for something good if I consider you, but I won't say it is for something bad if I consider things other than just you."

Aureus felt puzzled to hear her response. This woman sure didn't like to answer straight. 'Are all the witches like this. No, Queen Esther was not like this.'

"What do you mean?" Aureus asked.

"Aureus, ignore her," Morpheus interrupted them, "You must know by now she never talks anything in right way and makes one feel puzzled. Don't fall for her tricky words. This is one of her talents, playing with words."

"And commanders' talent is to play with the destinies," Thala commented mockingly.

Morpheus ignored her and said to Aureus, "You can trust me. For the first and last time I am asking you for something. After this, I will never ask for anything."

Aureus looked at his uncle who looked desperate and could not say no to him. "Fine, only this once."

Aureus made a tiny cut on his palm with his own sharp nail and the next moment the blood seeped out. Before it could fall on the floor, the blood droplets floated in the air as they moved towards Thala.

"This is precious blood, young eagle. You can not just carelessly drop it. You have no idea what kind of disaster just a one drop of this divine blood can bring."

She collected that blood in a small vial that appeared in her hand and closed it. She looked at Morpheus and warned, "See you on the mourning day. Before that, do not disturb me."

Morpheus nodded and he left the Spirit Circle with Aureus.

"What is she going to do on Mourning day? What are you planning? I hope to get an answer as you took my blood," Aureus asked as they walked out.

Morpheus sighed, "I can not answer you anything yet as nothing is certain but just know that, though you might feel disappointed in me, it is not for something bad. So till then, just trust me."

"You always say to trust you but I am starting to feel like I can not trust you the way you are keeping things from me. If you tell me, I might help you if it's something important."
