This was a folk tale that was quite popular in the city of Sky Mirror, deep in the countryside beneath the Qixing mountain. It is said that there was a Her Majesty the Queen of Darkness, she was famous for her incomparable magic. Some say that she is a direct descendant of the Demon King and a succubus, some say that she is a crown princess who adheres to black magic and is imprisoned under a mountain, others say that she is a cultivator who strayed from the path to heaven. Of all these possibilities, what the Sky Mirror community believed the most was that she was an angel who was expelled from heaven because she had fallen in love with a demon warlord and had forbidden intercourse on the altar of the heavenly offering.
She is also the owner of the legendary bracelet of a thousand suns, it is said that the bracelet spit out straight from hell when the devil was brought up to earth by the emperor of the underworld.
The folklore has existed since the first generation of the Heavenly Emperor ruled, it is said that at that time the Witch had joined the rebel ranks to overthrow the 1st Emperor Ling. There are no official profile records of her, nor paintings and recordings on magic stones, but it is said that she had long silver hair, her robes were as red as blood, and her face was disfigured by a curse from the Emperor of Heaven, therefore she always wore a mask that covered one side of her face.
One of her most famous stories is her love story which ended tragically, she only fell in love once in her life. Until several lifetimes she still loves the same person, but the story that has been made into a volume book is when the third birth of the man she loves, Zi Linglong is born as a woman and the Witch is willing to change herself with a science of "bone extraction", she become a man to be with the person she loves. In short, the Witch could change her gender at will, but because it was said that her true form was a woman before her lover was born a woman, she was given the nickname Queen of Darkness.
It was said that she was an immortal being, so she had witnessed her lover die and be reincarnated many times, therefore her story was tragic.
Until thousands of years later, the story has now turned into a fairy tale that is considered only a fictitious story from ancient times, although its name is in several historical records from the first to fourth generation Emperors, society has almost forgotten her figure and the story is now more often told to children as bedtime tales.
Somewhere, several decades after the 14th Emperor Ling ascended the throne, a woman threw a large crystal ball on the floor quite hard, after the crystal shattered into dust she then went to a large cauldron and put some leaves, flowers and strange liquids from bottle, stir until green smoke comes out, her mouth kept chanting incantations.
She was silent for a moment after getting what she was looking for from the cauldron.
"It's been a century and a half I've been waiting for your third birth, and you became a woman in this life? Zi Linglong, you better grow up fast and meet me yourself! Hmph."
Her thin cheeks became round when bent, her eyes were like a galaxy whose stars were shining brightly. Her silver hair looked very smooth and shiny, her amethys earrings kept moving as her body moved. She walked to a table where she made jewelry.
She loves to make handmade jewelry, she mines gems herself when she's bored, once every few months she will go to the city market to sell her work. She already has regular customers who always buy all of her jewelry for sale in their own shop.
The one who now runs the shop is the great-granddaughter of the first customer, they still have a very good relationship, nor have they ever divulged the secret that these jewelers never age at all. Something very mysterious and beautiful, they already knew that she was not an ordinary human.
"Silvanna, are you in there?"
Where else would she be if she wasn't in her room? In a bad mood she replied, "Before you ask anything, I have nothing!"
"The Emperor has just announced that the Empress has given birth, the baby is a girl and they will execute her tonight!"
Damn. That damn rule still hasn't been abolished. Silvanna put down her jewelry box and immediately took the black robe and disappeared.
"Silvanna? Are you still there?"
The person behind the door finally left after getting no answer.
Silvanna appeared in the empress room, the baby had just been cleaned by the midwife and was about to be breastfed by her mother. Silvanna continues to watch in silence, no one can see her if Silvanna doesn't want it so she can freely be anywhere.
"Zi Linglong, should I let you be executed and wait for you to be reborn in the correct gender?”
Naturally, the baby moves her hands and makes a middle finger pose, while feeding on her mother. The empress kept crying because it was the only moment she would have with her child because tonight this baby will disappear from the face of the earth.
"We just met again after hundreds of years and this is your warm welcome? Okay, since I'm in a good mood I'll help your little soul."
After saying that Silvanna disappeared into smoke. A few moments later she appeared in the Emperor's room, he was resting after finishing the morning meeting. Silvanna appeared in the form of a grim reaper in front of him, immediately the Emperor knelt down because of the very dense dark aura. Silvanna carried a book in her left hand, and a large ax in her right, her entire body was covered in a cloak and black smoke.
"Forgive me, gods, ghosts, or whatever, what do you want from me, I'm not ready to die, whatever I will do."
Her voice turning hoarse and heavy, Silvanna replied, "You despicable human, I will spare your life if you don't execute your daughter! Let her live and grow properly, don't end an innocent life. It's your greed that you should kill, you rotten dog."
The emperor broke out in cold sweat and his body trembled at the sound, the temperature around him suddenly seemed to freeze and he felt suffocated by the cold.
"I will not kill her, I will let her live, please stop all this, I.. I..." Unable to bear the pressure, the Emperor was unconscious.
Silvanna stopped her magic, she returned to her normal form. She stayed there for a while before finally dissipating into smoke.
The next second she was back in her room, in the tower of the now more modern Sky Mirror city.
