The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 393

"Yes, that green-eyed woman reincarnated into you," Draven said as he gently cupped his mate's face. "There is no other explanation. Though your appearances are different and she is not human like you, your eyes and the eyes I always saw in my visions, I know they are the same eyes."

"I'm her reincarnation? So that means I'm remembering her--my past? She's not deliberately haunting me? I...I don't know what to say."

He caressed her hand gently, trying to help ease her turbulent emotions.

"I think you and I, we two know each other from your previous life, only neither of us remember. You reincarnated as a human, starting anew, while I have lost all my memories. I don't know anything about myself, much less of other people. But from time to time, I do get visions from the past, and it was always related to that woman. That was why I believe that the reason why I lost my memories was related to her."

Ember remained quiet as she listened to his words, wrapping her head around the things she never considered before.

"Is the reason you allowed me to stay in Agartha because I have the same eyes as her? You thought I am the key that can connect you to her?"

"You are correct." Draven studied her. "Does that make you upset?"

Ember shook her head. "No. I am in fact glad. If not for that, you wouldn't have bothered with a human girl, and you wouldn't have marked me. Back then, I was worried that I am a useless burden, but it seems like I'm useful to you." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"And you say you're silly? That is quite wise and mature of you." Draven smiled as he continued to caress her hand. "You are right she is the one to make this mark on my wrist, but it did not appear until we had completed our bond. Not only that, both of you have the fire element. There are so many things that point towards the same thing, and..."

"And?"

She looked at him with a calm gaze, as if no matter what he said, she was ready to accept it wholeheartedly.

"That woman has a mark on the back of her neck, the fire rune that should not exist in the mortal world," he said.

"I think I know what you mean. I have seen that in my vision as well," she agreed.

"That fire rune is on the back of your neck as well," he informed, only to see her surprised.

"Huh? Is it? I thought the only mark on my body is the crimson blossom as proof of our mate bond. Neither Reya nor Clio--"

"It's not visible for everyone to see."

"Then, only you can see it?" she asked.

He shook his head. "I can't even see it except when it's triggered. It appeared for the first time the moment I marked you during the council meeting. Cornelia Grimm had seen it then. I saw it once more that time you caused a fire at the rear of the palace when you were angry at Isa."

"What kind of mark is it?"

"According to the ancient records, that mark belongs to the heavenly realm and represents a deity of fire."

Ember blinked a few times, as if she was hearing something strange. "Why would I have a mark that belongs to a deity? I do not have a religion. Is it because I have the fire element as well?"

He shook his head. "None who possesses the fire attribute has such a mark. Only you."

Ember pondered. "If it's a deity, then that deity must have worshipers. Could it be that the past me is a worshiper? Maybe a priest even? Like, am I that deity's last priestess?"

"That is not the case, Ember. The green-eyed woman in my vision is not mortal."

"W-What are you trying to say?"

"That, you are perhaps the reincarnation of that deity of fire."

"What?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

"So far, that is the only explanation that makes sense. You know Dragons are divine beasts, but what you do not know, divine power is the power of the heavenly realm. All pure-blooded divine beasts originally came from the heavenly realm, the realm of gods and deities, in one form or another. From what I have gathered, a tribulation must have occurred in the past, the past where your past self and I know each other. Since we are connected by fate, when your human reincarnation fell into danger, I was summoned to save you."

"I really don't know what to say," Ember admitted. "I have always wondered about my past. I imagined myself to be an illegitimate daughter of some important man with a commoner woman, or that I am the sole survivor of a fallen family with dangerous enemies, and that was why I have a nanny who raised me out of people's eyes, because I am in some sort of danger if my identity is revealed. But to hear that I'm a reincarnation of a deity..." "

This reminded Draven of something and he said, "You want to know your identity, about your human family?"

"Yes, I do."

"I will bring you to them," he replied.

"You...You know about my past?"
