All my life, I have never been touched by a man. I’ve remained clean and chaste” – Ava Goodchild

Every 200 years, a virgin is sacrificed to a powerful beast, for breeding. In the previous years passed, no offspring has been produced. It is known that only the mate to the beast can give him a pup. The community always selects the outcast virgin, from intricate fear of the beast. 

I am Ava Goodchild, one of the selected virgins.

　　“Milord, I summoned the seer already. She is present, should I bring her in?”


　　I replied immediately. I knew to put an end to this insanity, I had to re-hear the prophecy. I needed to know what the Moon Goddess had in store for me. What she had in store for my mate. What she had in store for my Kingdom.


　　How she intended to punish me, for my past sins.


　　The door opened, jeering me out of my thoughts. I stood up immediately, taking in the presence of the Historical Witch Nynaeve.


　　“To whom do I owe this honor? The beast himself, summoning me?”


　　She remarked slyly, as she made her way inside my Royal office. Her lengthy ox-blood gown, sweeping the floor just behind her.


　　“You know why I send for you, Nynaeve. Over the years, we’ve worked hands together protecting my dynasty.”


　　I answered, standing up to pay respect.


　　The seer was a brown-skinned, with dark lips. Her face coated in ancient engravings, with white chalks.
