Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 768 The First Human And The Witch

A rapid fire game was currently going on in the guest room.

The ladies asked questions to his mother and Lilith diligently answered everything in a short and concise manner.

The reason she made such a bold claim was because she was confident in her childrenʼs abilities. They were such geniuses that finding a challenge for them was difficult. They needed some stimulus every now and then to grow properly.

Although Lilith said all of this, the ladies werenʼt stupid enough to think it was just this reason. There might be some underlying reason to it as Lilith was a woman who would never want any harm to befell on her children.

The ladies stopped the questions after a while and chatted normally. 

Luciferʼs three daughters didnʼt misbehave in the presence of Lilith as they could feel the strong aura from her and kept quiet. 

Ren was finally able to relax when his mothers stopped petting him and made his way towards his Master.

Lith put Ren on his lap and let the guy doze off. He then chatted with the ladies and Alex as well, eventually getting absorbed in these talks.

…..

Ballroom, Royal Castle.

At a table in a corner, a lady wearing purple robes and a black pointy hat was sitting and sipping on some red wine. 

This lady had a doll-like face with heterochromatic red and blue eyes. She was none other than Hecate, one of the nine Witch Queens.

It had been some time since Hecate got an order from the Vampire Royal Family. 

She was starting to feel that the Vampire Royals didnʼt need her anymore and her not going to the informal party hosted by them was haunting her even more.

A Witchʼs duty was to be of proper service to their clients. They worked by remaining neutral and acting as mediators between different two parties. It could be anyone, two races or even two people of the same family.

Witches had a rich history alongside the other races.

It was said that when the first human came into existence due to a rare convergence of all twelve elements, his conscience was far superior to any other species.

This conscience eventually overpowered the human and split off from him, feeling that the human wasnʼt worthy enough for it. 

Being the most intelligent thing, it used the knowledge of the convergence of twelve elements that made the human and became an entity of her own.

This was the first ever Witch that came into existence.

Many years passed with the Human and the Witch going about their own ways.

The Human who was stripped off of his intelligence was nothing more than a primal beast, running on instincts and trying to survive.

The Witch traversed everywhere but being so intelligent, she found nothing of interest and came to the place where the Human was. She was really bored and wanted to see how this man was faring off.

To the Witchʼs surprise, the man just roamed around, ate, and slept. However, while doing all of this, he learned to communicate with animals around him, hunt, understand that thereʼs dangers in some places, show compassion to the wounded animals, and so on and so forth.

The Witch realized that the man, even without her, was able to adapt and overcome all sorts of predicaments.

This was truly a major shock to her, who believed that the man would be nothing but a mindless beast when she left him.

Feeling interested in this man, the Witch followed him for many years.

Eventually, one day, the Witch saw the man staring at a baby cow snuggled between its parents.

The man was in a dazed state and didnʼt understand the reason he was staring at them, but the Witch knew.

She was a really intelligent being and could tell at a single glance that the man was feeling lonely.

The Witch could see in the manʼs eyes that he was starting to lose his will to love. He was lonely, he had nothing to call his own, he had no companions, and he was truly very alone.

The Witch felt pity for this man. She had no reason to help him, but she decided to do so anyway because she was once a part of him.

If it wasnʼt for the man, she wouldnʼt come into existence. There was a sort of debt she was in.

To be fully debt free, the Witch split off some part of her and with the help of the convergence of the twelve elements, she brought the first female human into existence.

The two humans eventually hit it off and happily lived together for many years, until they finally had children and problems started coming up.

Whoʼll take care of the child and whoʼll hunt… all of these questions were something these two couldnʼt get an answer to and fought among themselves.

Feeling pity again, the Witch decided to intervene and help them resolve their problems.

This was the first time a Witch acted as a mediator. 

Since the man was skilled at hunting and the woman was the one who gave birth to the child, the Witch told them it would be better if the woman took care of the child and the man brought food.

With her help, the work was divided between the two humans.

The interactions with the Witch made the two humans smarter as time progressed and one fine day, the man and the woman realized…

If they stopped quarrelling when the Witch intervened and resolved their queries, what would happen if they absorbed the Witch? 

Wonʼt the two never quarrel and live happily ever after? 

This thought of theirs eventually became lethal for the Witch.

The Witch had a strong intelligence, but she didnʼt have the necessary strength to protect herself from the attack of the man and the woman.

During her last few moments, the Witch swore to make these humans pay.

She got absorbed by the two and became one with them. And as expected, the woman and the man quarreled less.

Years passed and their intelligence grew to a much higher degree than what they could handle.

The Witch once again split off from them, this time it was the woman and not the man.

The man had lived for far too many years, he was older than the Witch as well, and it was difficult to break away from him.

But, she managed to break away from the woman she had created and the man saw this.

A fight then broke out with the woman and the man going against the Witch, but the Witch wasnʼt weak this time and did a great deal of damage on both the man and the woman and disappeared.

This left a scar on the man and as time passed and the humans grew in population, he got scared of watching the woman become stronger and intelligent than men.

He thus passed down a false tale and got these strong women killed, in the name of them being Witches.

Years and years down the line, the women who were accused, burned, and killed, their hatred soared and eventually manifested into existence, killing the humans who had wronged them.

The Witch got notice of this and came to the scene, eventually joining hands and dealing damage to the humans.

The two then fled from the scene after some humans were killed. They couldnʼt go up against the humans totally since they were quite a lot in number.

The hatred that manifested also became a Witch after the Witch helped her have a body. These two then became the founding mothers of the Witch race.

They collected more Witches from the Humans and by this time, more races had come into existence and the Humans stopped with the bullshit of killing their own kin in the name of them being Witches as there were threats from other races.

The Witches stopped having more members due to this and would go extinct soon without more people.

The two founding mothers then found a method to procreate. They needed huge energy to make a kin of their own and the Witch formed from hatred decided to sacrifice herself for the greater good.

As hatred vanished and the humans too had stopped hating Witches, the Witches had nothing to do once again and became bored due to their high intelligence.

Recalling how she had become a mediator, the founding mother Witch decided to meddle between the races fighting together.

This time, it was for selfish reasons. She needed resources to make more of their own kins and this wasnʼt done for free.

This was how the Witches eventually became service providers and they always stayed neutral, not interfering with other races and just being mediators.

At the present era, the Witches could make more Witches by simply using semen from whatever race they desired and impregnating themselves via the tools they had created after many years of research.

This story was what Hecate believed to be real since she was a Witch.

The Humans however knew of a different twisted story. In their version, their ancestors were tormented by a Witch and they rightfully killed her. She then came back to kill them, and they fought hard and made the Witch disappear.

They still had some hatred for the Witches, but it wasnʼt much. They had the Demons, Devils, Vampires, Werewolves and Dragons that they hated more than the Witches. Especially the Vampires who were after their blood.

Hecate had suddenly recalled this tale because she was worried that she wasnʼt needed anymore.

A Witch lost her purpose the moment sheʼs unable to provide any service. This was a scary thing, however…

Just yesterday, the Prince contacted her and tasked her with some work.

Hecate breathed a sigh of relief after getting work and swore herself to work harder.

Hence, she was currently sitting at this table and waiting to do the work the Prince had asked her to do.

A few minutes of waiting later, a man in a suit was brought to her table by a subordinate Witch of hers.

She looked at him and thought to herself:

ʼTime to work, Hecate.ʼ
