Ayra followed Nora’s instruction and walked over near the prison slowly. Her face grimaced after she looked into it and saw the painful act that Enchantress was performing. Enchantress was sitting on the ground floor in a very shabby and disheveled state. Power no longer emitted from her body like before. Her face was full of agony as she was pulling out her own nails happily. Even her own blood didn’t scare her instead she was having fun time to harm her own body. Anyone would call her ‘insane’ if they see her pulling out her own nails.

Ayra gasped taking a step back from the bars to look behind at Nora questioningly. She questioned twisting her brows together,

” What is wrong with her, Nora? She doesn’t.. seem okay..”

Nora sighed helplessly. Placing a hand on her shoulder as console, she explained in a serious voice,

” She was a witch, lady. A witch’s soul never ends up with good for their previous sins. She is still counting her sins for harming so many people. Her soul never found peace and she acts like insane now. So I don’t know whether she can help you or not.”

Ayra bit down her lips together sadly. She had come all the way to find her exact answer but when the possibilities for knowing had reduced, she felt downhearted. Nora encouraged her from behind, stepping close to the metal bars,

” At least, you should try once. Maybe, she can help you.”

Ayra agreed thoughtfully and decided to try at least once to know from her. After a heavy sigh, she brought her eyes back at Nora who was also peeking inside,

” Aren’t you coming in?”

Nora shook her head denying. Stealing a glance of surrounding, she notified her in a serious voice,

” No, I will have to guard here. No one likes to meet her and they forbid us to go near to her. You have to make it fast.”

Ayra nodded her head rapidly before stepping into the prison with a large stride. Enchantress didn’t even lift her eyes at her presence and continued muttering audible words. Ayra stood few steps away from her, rubbing her own arms in confusion. She couldn’t understand how to converse with a woman who was mentally ill. After a heavy sigh, she finally approached trying to ease their atmosphere,

” Enchantress…Can..can you recognize me?”

She didn’t take any close proximity and spoke keeping a firm distance. Her action only paused after she heard an unfamiliar voice in her prison. Enchantress pulled her eyes up in shot to glance at Ayra timidly. The action of pulling out her own nails were interrupted and Ayra was secretly glad to see that Enchantress wasn’t harming herself anymore. She didn’t deserve this painful situation. She had her enough pains when she was alive.

Enchantress stared hard at Ayra’s face for a long time then brust into laughter unexpectedly. She begun to mutter childishly, showing her nails at Ayra,

” You..you want to punish me? Come.. let’s cut these nails off together..They..are ugly..”

Ayra let out a heavy sigh. Indeed, she couldn’t even recognize her a bit and was blubbering nonsense. Keeping her patience firmly, Ayra crunched down on the floor, peering at her face deeply to speak from the beginning,

” Enchantress! Look at me, I am Queen Esme’s daughter, the one whom you had fight many years ago. You might not recognize my face now but I have to know why I received this mark from you. What kind of curse you put on me?You had fight with vampire king? Can you remember anything?”

Ayra showed her wrist to Enchantress, hoping that she would remind anything. Enchantress didn’t give it a full glance only peeked once and then begun to mutter audible words again. Noticing her disinterest to tell anything, Ayra stood up from the ground with a hopeless mind. Before she could take her leave, Enchantress suddenly stood up from her place, tiptoeing at Ayra slowly.

Ayra backed away subconsciously and was a bit scared since Enchantress had just known her real identity.

What if she was trying to harm her again?

Ayra remained stiff in her place as Enchantress suddenly bent down to inhale her long hairs sharply. Then she grinned looking up at Ayra who was confused about her motives,

” You.. you..so big..”

Ayra’s eyes gleamed brightly in hopeful thoughts. She assumed that Enchantress had remembered her existence a little. She persuaded her thoughts further, getting closer to Enchantress who was scratching her head awkwardly,

” Enchantress, can you.. remember now? What did you do in that fight? What did you give to that little girl? Enchantress..”

Ayra tried her best to rake Enchantress’s brain hard but nothing worked on since all she heard was her audible words which had no clue. After several attempts, Enchantress became angry and moved away from her, returning to her original place to sit down sadly.

Ayra gulped her sorrows bitterly. She was barely wasting her time and after a long helpless sigh, Ayra turned around to leave for the doorway. She had to return to the original word fast. This soul land was full of sorrows.

Nora sent her a sorry look as she reminded Ayra, wandering her eyes around,

” She can’t help you, lady. She can’t even remember herself. How will she remember you? It’s better that you seek help from anyone else useful. Come out now quickly.”

Ayra nodded agreeing quickly and began to approach the door. Enchantress finally had her eyes on her retreating back. Before she could pass through the door, Enchantress blurted something in a disorganized line,

” The.. one.. whom she… loves… will be..also..the.. reason… of.. her love’s… death..”

Ayra froze in her track, whipping her head back instantly. She muttered struggling to breath properly,

” What.. what.. did you just say?”

Enchantress looked away from her. Swirling like a toddler playfully in her place, she uttered few more words, freezing Ayra in her spot,

” Chased..by….true..Demon… Widow..life..Killer..lover… slayer..”
