She smiled softly then walked up towards him slowly, the boy watching her with concern as she had a twinkle in her eye.

Chapter 3
The Witch’s Desire
    In the world of Eden monsters come in many different forms and classes. They all have the appearance of human women in some shape or form, and some even speak the language of man. However the similarities between man and monster didn’t always stop there. Some types of monsters wore clothing or armor, and even used weaponry similar to humans. Swords, bows and arrows, and even shields sometimes - certain monsters used either crudely made or expertly crafted weapons of war. And of course there were those that used magical spells and arcane rituals that granted them otherworldly powers. Either by using their magic to charm and control their prey or casting destructive spells to wound or kill their enemies, magical wielding monsters were among the more dangerous ones that roamed the lands.
    After all, no shield in the world can defend you from them.

    “Daniel!” Triska cried out as she looked around with fright. She looked down to the ground as the wind gently rolled by, grass nearby swaying slightly as she whimpered softly to herself. Nearby four human men were lying dead, with three of them pretty much reduced to smoldering piles of flesh and bone from a magical onslaught by a little witch. The charred remains of a destroyed travel carriage were off to the side of the path with a few wisps of smoke still coming up from it. Triska screamed out into the air with frustration then looked around as she held her sword in hand.
    “Damn it! Alyssa! Bring him back now!” she yelled out with anger and a few tears forming. She shook her head and looked down to the small patch of ground she had dug up in her rage, both angry and scared of what happened a few minutes ago.
    “When I find her again… I’m going to chop that bitch into pieces!” she roared as she struck down at the dirt, her sword carving into the ground with a loud whack. Growling furiously she screamed again, and then dropped to her knees next to her blade that was thrust into the dirt. She trembled then looked to the dug up ground.
    “Daniel,” she quietly said to herself.

    Inside the living room of a house Daniel was looking ahead of him at a little girl in a witch’s outfit. The room was cast into a reddish glow from the fireplace as the daylight outside had been replaced with a cold night sky. Books and bits of wood from the ceiling were scattered around while vines seemed to be entangled into the roof from above. Daniel looked at the witch before him then to her staff with cautious eyes. Alyssa giggled then walked up towards him with a playful smile.
    “Alyssa, stop this, I don’t want to fight with you,” Daniel said carefully.
    “Hee hee, fight with me? You’re so silly, Daniel. I don’t want to fight with you, not at all. Not at all,” she said with a purr at the end. Daniel narrowed his eyes and lunged towards the girl’s staff, stopping a hair short as the magical relic glowed orange. He was then tossed back into the plush red chair behind him as she shook her head with a smile.
    “Haha, you really are something else, Daniel. So full of energy and life, I’ll be sure to get a healthy and promising daughter from you,” she said with a soft blush forming on her cheeks. Daniel showed a bit of worry from that then tried to run off to the side towards a door. Before he got close he was thrown back again, flying into the chair that turned to catch him. He landed back into it before it turned him to face the smiling witch.
    “Please don’t do this, Alyssa, I’m only here to-” he started before she held a finger to his lips.
    “I know exactly what you’re here for, Daniel. You said it yourself you wanted us to join together right? Well, I couldn’t agree more,” she said with a seductive smile. Licking her lips she glanced
