Chapter 2: The Dark Necklace

By following the map from the book, the girl soon found her way to the location of the necklace of dark power. However, a thick growth of thorny bushes whose thorns would curse anyone pricked by them with a sleeping curse blocked her way.

Just as the girl was pondering on how to get past them, a giant bird-like creature flew out from the trees and attacked her. The girl quickly uprooted one of the thorny plants and threw it at her attacker. The creature was mortally wounded and as it fell to the ground dying, the girl was filled with sorrow and she wept and swore she would never again kill another living thing. As her tears fell onto the body of the creature, much to the girl's surprise, it turned into a young, violet-eyed man.

"Thank you, my name is David," the man smiled at her. "I was cursed by the dark witch that lives in this land,” said David. “I had tried to rob from her the Dark Necklace to save my village, but she found me and cursed me to eternally guard the Necklace till my dying breath."

David waved his hand and a silver necklace with a black pearl embedded in it magically appeared. "You can have this necklace if you want it, but I warn you, the witch's curse will fall upon you". And so saying, he gave her the necklace and disappeared in a puff of violet smoke.

Troubled by David’s warning, the girl was at first unsure what to do as she held the necklace in her hands. Taking a deep breath, she put on the silver necklace and bravely resolved that she didn't care even if the witch’s curse fell upon her.
