The Emperor's Black Swan

This story will be applied to PTR on Nov 5th 2021. --- To you who suffer alone behind your smiles so much that you think you are fake. I am writing to you, the kindest soul who everyone takes for granted. I'd like to write for you, the unsung heroes. --- What this story is about: Darilus Gratagan is the Elven emperor of the Aluthia Empire. His rose to power brought to him a dark curse; a demonic wolf has been infesting his soul. For a hundred and twelve years, he has managed to suppress the curse. But the demon is getting stronger, to the point that Darilus finds himself turning into a monster almost every night. He begins to desire blood and his people are in danger of himself.   Until he finds the evil witch from Tollyria in his royal garden.   “I can tame a demon dog,” she says. *** Sania has died. At least she thought so. But then she opens her eyes in Aluthia’s royal garden and when she looks at the reflection of the pond… she sees herself as a black swan. However, when night comes, she shifts back into her original form; the White Witch of Tollyria. Yet for some reason, she cannot leave the royal garden.    Then she meets the Emperor of Aluthia… in the form of a demonic wolf.   “Make a deal with me,” he says.   ***   Their curses are intertwined. The way to break the curse has been foretold in an old rhyme.   “The mark of a true love bond can save two cursed souls.”   But how is that possible when by sunrise, Sania is a black swan and by sundown, Darilus is a demonic wolf?   On top of that, the demons in Tollyria are planning their move to take on the entire continent. For the sake of all creatures, they need to break the curse fast.   --- A/N: This is Sania Dawnless's story and it will intertwine with Lyria's (The Cursed Dragon and His Bride) and Scarlett's (The Alpha and His Deadly Beauty) story from chapter 77. However, you can just read each as a standalone :) No worries! I hope you like this story. . . . . . Copyright @ Karasmara / Dreame / Stary.
