The Sea Witch (The Era of Villains Book 1) (24 page)

What the merfolk of
Adamar did not know was that the sea witch kept a close eye on them,
gazing into her stone cauldron most of the day. Inside the cauldron
was a window into Adamar. Most of the time, one or more of the
princesses could be seen shimmering like a mirage in the cauldron’s
depths. But sometimes, the window spread out over the city.

In the bowels of the
cave, Serena floated above her cauldron as the window zipped across
Adamar like a gull flying over the surface. Whispered voices spilled
from it, and they whispered her name.

“The sea witch,
Serena, did it for me.”

“Have you heard
about Serena?”

“Serena’s
her name. You should go see her. She can help.”

The cave echoed with
the sinister sound of Serena’s laughter, high and slightly
deranged, cracked by hate.

“Make them
forget me, will you?” she said, though no one was near to hear
her. “Soon, everyone in Adamar will know my name.”
