Chapter-78

Daniel's POV ​​

"God Madonna? How can I reach out to you? I need your help. Please help your child get out of this problematic situation." I said, standing in front of the gate through which we can contact our gods.

God Madonna was the good of dark witches, and though she was the dark one, I think she was the most beautiful, intelligent, and understanding God. She was better than those in the white world, who have turned us into their puppets and our fate as their gameplay.

As far as I have seen, she has been the only God that meets the kings and everyone who comes to her for help with a valid reason.

I was about to chant the same words again when the large gates opened, and a beautiful voice echoed in the surrounding, calming my nerves.

"Son, Daniel? How have you been? I know everything. You can enter, son." God Madonna said, and I started walking inside the gates of the large mansion-like thing, hidden because of the fog.

Seeing the bright light that looked like a ball of the sun emerging from a cloud, I bowed before sitting on my knees.

"Respect to the God Madonna," I said, bowing my head.

"I am pleased with your duties, my son." She said, and I was about to start with the problems so that we can go and find the solution soon when she spoke again.

"How are you, Victoria? You've been quite naughty lately, no?" God Madonna said, and I looked around myself, confused.

"She is here?" I asked, without thinking twice.

"She is. She is saying that she doesn't blame you for what you did to her. She trusts you and knows that you'll find a solution soon." God Madonna said, and I couldn't help but feel my eyes tearing at that.

I thought she wouldn't forgive me easily for what I did with her. I have practically risked her life, and if I don’t find a solution to it, then she will always be trapped in this world as a soul. And rather than being angry about it, she chose to forgive and believe in me.

Alexander was indeed right about her. She is so pure-hearted that if she is getting hurt, then it is all because we don't deserve her.

"Now, if you don't want to waste your time and find out the solution soon, I think we should discuss the problem because we have a maniac on loose that has made it her goal to destroy the world," God Madonna said, chuckling at her words.

"I am sorry for the delay. Can you help me with the location of the eternal river where Madeline is believed to be captured?" I asked, waiting for her to reply.

"Son, Daniel. You are on the right track, but your facts are all wrong. Madeline's soul was never captured, to begin with. She lived freely. Regarding the crustal dream of Victoria, it is indeed true. But do you remember what was written on the rose? The answer lies in the death of the mate. Now you need to break the curse, break the girl, or break the hybrid?" Madonna said, making me look at her in puzzlement.

"Do you think it was the God who had to turn your lives upside down? Do you think there are so many gods? We are not gods, son. We surely are called one because we are your only medium to reach out to him. We are like managers for him. Just like you kings are the assistant managers for us.

God can never be cruel to his children like this. God never wanted anything to turn out like this. Honestly, even if the hybrid was born or made, he or she will only have one mate. The reason why every time the hybrid was tested there were three mates was that it wasn't a natural procedure.

They tried to make a hybrid by combining powers and soul. This is not how we do things, and it is against the laws of nature.

That is the reason that rose has those engravings. Break the curse, break the girl or break the hybrid?

The curse of the death of three mates is related to the disappearance of the occurrence of three mates for a hybrid, and the six new lives represent the kids. I will give you the address of the eternal water. See what you can get from it." God madonna said.

Her words appeared foreign and weird, but everything she said made sense to me. She was right. God is supposed to be positive energy. Why would he made his children suffer so much and play with them again and again?

It was indeed true that both the times when a hybrid was made, it was created because of the selfish motives of those gods and not naturally.

The reason why there were three mates for a single girl. It was all just for their fun.

"Also, I would like to warn you against Madeline. And the only hint I can give you at this time is that only Victoria can kill her.

Everyone who has taken birth will have to die one day or another. No one is immortal in this world. Even the vampires and witches who live for thousands of years have to die one day. Just like how Azrael died today.

Everyone is born from the five elements of the earth. Fire, water, sky, air, and earth. These elements not only guide our lives but also our inner powers. And the destruction is also because of these elements only." She said.

To say I was confused listening to her words would be an understatement. They were like short puzzles among themselves, and I was about to ask her more, but before I could do that, I was pushed out of the gates, making me land back on the earth in a weird forest.

It looks likes that were all she wanted to tell me about. Now, it all depends on us.

I just hope we find the solutions in these forests.

Walking deeper into the forests with no idea where I was going and following my intuition, I looked around as the smell of water wafted through my nose.

I don't know where this place was or what it was, but since Madonna has sent me here, I am sure that this is the exact place where I can find that source of water.

Running towards the source of smell, I stopped at the clearing, my eyes widening when I saw the large river like a thing that was so transparent that I could see all the emeralds and crystals from here.

Great! I have finally found the magical water that Victoria saw in her dream. Her dream was indeed true.

Now, all I need to do is go there and find the truth. I was happy to know that it won't be long before I'll be able to know all the secrets that can help us kill Madeline and get our lives sorted.

Feeling excited, I jumped from the small cliff into the water, closing my eyes since I was not a pro at this diving thing. I thought I will solve everything after jumping into the water, but I was in for a bigger surprise when my body landed flat on the surface of the river. My limbs aching as I felt like I was thrown on some kind of strong rock.

Now, what the hell is this all about? It feels like the river is frozen and not frozen at the same time.

How is this possible?

I was about to try to jump again when Victoria's words echoed in my head, making me widen my eyes.

She had indeed said something about this. Only a pure soul can enter the river, and the evil souls stay out. It was written in the book too.

Of course, I can't enter the river. I wasn't a pure soul. Victoria was. Wasn't it because I had killed Damien? The reason why I was a dark witch king? Till when I’ll have to suffer because of that kill? And that to be when it wasn’t my fault in the first place? Not only was I sent to witch prison, made a king of dark witches, but now I can’t even enter this magical water to save my mate and friends?

I was feeling annoyed with the mere thought of it.

However, this wasn't the time to think all of that stuff. The time was to think of the solution. To think about how will I find the truth if I can't even enter the river?

I don't know the exact location, or I had called Alexander or Ashton, but I doubt they are pure soul either. We all have made kills, sometimes innocent kills in our lives.

Only Victoria was able to enter the river as far as I know, but she is just a soul right now. How can she possibly do anything?
