Chapter 140 - The Desperate Quest for a Cure

"Go and call Agatheia" The King Commanded. it was King Leonidas.

After he had turned into a Werewolf, he attacked most of his guards and killed them and also ran out of the palace. He woke up naked inside a market. Because of keeping his condition a secret, the King told most of his guards to go and kill those who saw him as a Beast

But that was a waste of time, because the rumours had already spread throughout the land of Greece.

The king wanted to know if there was any cure and he knew the only person he could ask was no other than the Witch; Agatheia.

His favourite Servant, Deinades looked at him with both pity. The once mighty King would now become a monster looking Wolf every Full Moon. Deinades really had pity for him. He wondered if there was any way he could help his master.

"I can't leave like this" The King said to his Deinades.

The king was currently sitting at his throne, his face looked like he couldn't hold his tears any longer. He had been weeping for some time. If he was to become a ferocious Monster every Full Moon, it would be better if he didn't get close to his family. He didn't want to harm his family.

The king's command echoed through the halls of the palace, reaching the ears of his loyal servant, Deinades. The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air as Deinades understood the gravity of his master's request. He nodded solemnly, his eyes reflecting a mix of empathy and determination.

"Of course, my lord," Deinades replied, his voice filled with unwavering loyalty. "I will go and find Agatheia, the renowned witch of these lands. She may hold the key to a cure, or at least guidance on how to navigate this treacherous path you now find yourself on."

With a sense of purpose, Deinades swiftly made his way through the corridors of the palace. The atmosphere was tense, the whispers of fear and uncertainty lingering in the air. The once-mighty king, now plagued by his monstrous alter ego, sought solace in finding a way to regain control over his destiny.

Outside the palace walls, the city buzzed with the weight of the rumors that had already spread like wildfire. The people whispered in hushed tones, their fear and curiosity mingling. News of the king's transformation into a werewolf had reached every corner of Greece, amplifying the sense of unease and apprehension that shrouded the land.

As Deinades navigated the crowded market, he couldn't help but feel the weight of his master's sorrow and desperation. The king, once revered as a symbol of strength and leadership, now grappled with his newfound identity as a creature of the night. Deinades vowed to do everything in his power to help his master find a solution, to restore not only his physical form but also his sense of self.

Amidst the bustling market, Deinades's keen eyes caught sight of a figure draped in a dark cloak, her presence emanating an aura of mystique and wisdom. It was Agatheia, the renowned witch of the land, her reputation preceding her as a sorceress who delved into the arcane secrets of the world.

Approaching Agatheia, Deinades greeted her with a respectful bow. He could sense the power and ancient knowledge that emanated from her, an understanding that she held the key to unlocking the answers they desperately sought.

"Agatheia," Deinades began, his voice steady yet filled with a sense of urgency. "King Leonidas, our ruler, is in great distress. He seeks your guidance and assistance. He has been afflicted by a curse that transforms him into a ferocious monster under the light of the full moon. We implore you, wise witch, to aid us in finding a cure, or at least a way to control this affliction."

Agatheia's piercing gaze fixed upon Deinades, her eyes seemingly seeing beyond the physical realm. She nodded slowly, acknowledging the gravity of the situation.

"Fear not, loyal servant," Agatheia replied, her voice resonating with a soothing yet commanding presence. "I shall delve into the ancient texts, consult the spirits, and unravel the mysteries that lie within. Together, we shall find a path forward, a way to restore King Leonidas to his true form and protect those he holds dear."

Deinades felt a glimmer of hope ignite within him as he witnessed Agatheia's determination. He knew that they had embarked on a treacherous journey, one that would test their resolve and challenge their beliefs. But in this moment, with the guidance of the wise witch, they stood united in their quest to reclaim the king's humanity and safeguard the realm from the shadows that threatened to engulf it.

The next day, Agatheia arrived at the palace and she started talking to the king:

"There is only one way My King" She said.

"What's that" He asked with curiosity.

"We have to seek help from Hecate" The witch said.

The King's eyes opened in shock.....
