When Sotchai, the powerful sorceress and queen, discovers her sister's treacherous plan to overthrow her, she must use all her magical prowess to protect her newborn daughter, Sonaya. As Sotchai fights to save her child and her kingdom, she unleashes a curse that will haunt Nagjari for years to come.

Years later, Nagjari, now the ruling queen, is haunted by nightmares of Sotchai's curse. Her husband, King Holtrin, tries to comfort her, but the memory of Sotchai's words continues to torment her: "You will never win me. I am Sotchai of Qi and Xie!"

As the anniversary of Sotchai's downfall approaches, a mysterious figure emerges, whispering prophecies of Sonaya's return and the restoration of magic to its rightful heir. Will Nagjari's reign be threatened by the return of her niece, or will Sonaya's arrival bring about a new era of peace and prosperity to the kingdom?

“Who is the Witch of the two? What gender did Sire say?” The Master requested in a voice so horrific that the kids became even more scared.
“None of us is a witch. We have grown without knowing or practicing magic all our lives.”
“How old are you?”
“I am fifteen.” Millan spoke up.
“I am twelve.” Muye also responded after hesitating for a while. She wanted not to answer but the faces alone of the men could not let her.
“Yes, my Master, it’s the girl, her age matches the night struggle.”
“No sir. She’s mistaken. She has not yet even made eleven.” Millan realized they did not have to say the right age. But it was too late. Realizing how late he was, he signaled her to run as he tries to escape.

MUYE AND MILLAN: THE QUEST OF BLOOD AND HURDLES

'Oh no! They are both in trouble. I must warn them.'

Huchin kept telling himself he had to warn them but he fell in turmoil as he did not know where to find them. He searched in the books on how to communicate with witches from a far. His search went on for a day but no gain he achieved.

Muye finally drifted to sleep after hours of sobbing non-stop. Millan tucked her into bed and walked out to let her rest completely. Walking to the rock, he saw Kaisen who wiped her tears when she noticed him going her way. She was hurt as well; she had also lost her father in the same battle.

"Don't take her words to heart. She is just grieving for their death."

"But I am also grieving. I lost a father too."

"You are right and it's wrong of her but you must know something. Muye did not cry or grieve like you did for your father. She has never let a tear drop because of our parent's death. She has consistently blamed herself for what happened to our parents. The thought of not deserving to grief for them kept her strong like this rock and the wall around her is stronger than you think."

Kaisen saddened more after listening to the hidden story behind Muye's actions. They fell into pin-drop silence until she finally broke the silence.

"I will let you in. I will make way for you into the palace." Millan's eyes widened with a question if he had her well. Conforming that he heard well, a smile of gratitude crept onto his handsome face making Kaisen's heart miss a beat.

"Huchin!" Muye was surprised to see Huchin as soon as she wakes up. Millan sat with a worried face as he glanced at her.

"Muye, you must not go into the palace, it's dangerous. You will not be able to escape. Both of you are in danger. I do not know the second person but if I guess right, it must be the prince – the true crown prince."

"So, you suggest I just sit down?" Muye spoke with defiance laced in her rich voice.

"No, I suggest you look for the prince instead."

"No! what good would it be if we are still hunted. I am going." Huchin gave up after series of arguments with her to prove his point. She was too stubborn to reason.

"In two days, you will be transfigured into a full witch. My princess, you have worked so hard."

"No, it was because of you, Anzhi." She spoke as she cupped his jaws. Long Zhi stared into her gorgeous eyes then to her succulent lips making him want to kiss them but he restrained himself and smiled at her.
