Gisel is a beautiful woman who received a curse from a half-demon named Theos. She was forced to drink Theos' blood so that all his demon followers would transfer to Gisel's body. And that causes Gisel to become a human who cannot age and die. Theos gave her a curse because Gisel had killed his precious son Leon. Two hundred years Gisel had to endure that curse with great difficulty. No husband even has children. Because Theos' curse made her always change into a demon. No one dared to approach her. Is there someone who can release the curse?
In 1802.
The moon showed its full light that night. The moon looks big, unlike the usual night with a red color like blood. Accompanied by the sound of night birds cheering each other, the night became very tense.
Bare feet shuffled through the wet grass. Makes Gisel's steps slightly wobble so as not to fall. Her breath hitched. Her hand held a dagger that was covered in blood. Her hands seemed to be shaking a little, trying to keep the dagger from falling. Meanwhile, the cloth covering her smooth white body was torn apart by the sharp thorns that she had previously forced into the forest.
"A little more, I can enter the village border, wait Gisel, you will be there in a moment!" Gisel exclaimed.
She had reached the top of the hill that separated the village gate from the forest at the Mount Horries. At the bottom of the hill, she will meet the gatekeeper of the village, where she lives with her father and mother. At Kans village.
Gisel was half running down the hill. She wanted to go to her village immediately and ask for protection from her father, a village head named Drias. She was very scared because she had killed someone's life. She was afraid because she had just lost the life of the son of the most feared man in all of the Horries.
But because she had been running for hours, she was getting tired. Her breath was cut off and her chest felt tight. Her eyes faded a little. She couldn't see clearly because there were only tall trees covering the moonlight. Because her vision was limited, she didn't see a branch of a tree crossing in front of her. She also hit it. Made her head and chest hit and hurt even more. Gisel staggered and after that, she fell unconscious.

Gisel felt all her ribs crushed. Slowly she opened her eyes. She looked dimly around her. She wondered why she could be in the middle of her home pavilion and she felt a sharp chill.
To relieve the cold, Gisel pinched her knees. Her lips trembled and felt dry. She didn't know the last time she had a drink. She tries harder to open her eyes and asks anyone to give her water.
"Water, please, water!" mumbled Gisel.
With all her might Gisel opened her eyes and tried to see the situation around her. A large man dressed in black approached her.
Then he splashed water on her face with a voice that roared like lightning. Gisel knew it was Theos. The lord of the Wingit forest is a cruel human who likes to annoy the citizens of Kans.
She has a hermitage in the forest. In the hermitage, she is the leader where all the criminals from all over the island gather. They are robbers, kidnappers and murderers. They were usually sought after by nobles to do dirty work for their own benefit.
And according to the stories she often heard from her father's workers and the villagers she met. Theos is a strong man who is immune to all sharp weapons. He could never die because he had the help of thousands of visible creatures.
Gisel was a little scared. She didn't even taste the water Theos spilled. Her body trembled at the thought of her and her family's safety.
"You're awake, hey!" Theos said in a loud voice that made anyone who heard it shudder.
"Mother, father!" Gisel called while trying to stand up. Her long hair covered part of her face.
"Your father and mother will die soon!" Theos growled, grabbed Gisel's hair and dragged her. Giselle groaned in pain. She tried to loosen her hair, but Theos' strength was unmatched.
"Please don’t hurt me!" Gisel shouted but no one was there. Gisel saw that there were no guards in the pavilion. Where’s everyone in this house? Everything is invisible. Meanwhile, Theos continued to drag Gisel out of the house.
Theos then threw her on the ground. Gisel with the rest of her strength tried to bend down begging for forgiveness from Theos.
"Please forgive me, I beg your mercy!" Gisel pleaded by rubbing her palm.
"Look at that!" Theos commanded, pointing to the north front of the fence.
Gisel also looked in the direction he was pointing. She was surprised because several people were lying there covered in blood. And what was even more shocking was that she saw her parents in the middle bound with bruised faces.
"Mother father!" Gisel shouted and was about to walk up to them. However, as her legs and whole body still hurt, Gisel was slower with Theos' long stride and got ahead of her. And without saying anything Theos raised his Dagger and stabbed it into Drias and Pratisya's stomach. Gisel just screamed and screamed. But everything was so fast that her parents immediately fainted along with the guards and guards of their house.
"You cruel human, don't kill my parents!" shouted Gisel, still trying to move. However, her body could not move. Gisel could only cry and scream like crazy. She cursed Theos' actions that had killed her parents mercilessly.
"Huuuu... Father... Mother!" Gisel wept bitterly.
Gisel looked up at the sky. The huge blood-red full moon witnessed the massacre of her family. She wept bitterly lamenting her fate.
"Listen, since you have killed my precious son, accept your destiny now!" Theos said in a hoarse voice.
"You will accept my curse, and you will forever suffer" Theos then tried to take out his Dagger again.
Instantly, the sky that was clear with moonlight was suddenly covered in black clouds. The roar of the wind from a distance made all the nocturnal beasts looking for food scatter and let out a loud sound that made Gisel shudder.
Moreover, Theos in front of her seemed to be getting bigger, his eyes were fiery red. She saw a black shadow standing behind Theos. Gisel was frightened and screamed.
"From now on, you will live forever with my thousands of followers!" Theos said while slicing his palm. Black blood came out of his palm then he forced Gisel to drink the blood. Gisel struggled to resist but her strength couldn't match that of Theos. Gisel also couldn't help having his blood dripping and running down her throat.
It was bitter and made her throat burn like fire. Gisel screamed in pain. Her tongue was gagged, her mouth was agape and she couldn't close it. Gisel tried to scream but her voice was muffled. Her chest began to constrict and her breathing began to become irregular.
Then her body went into convulsions. The blood she drank reacted quickly and spread throughout the tissues of his body.
For an hour Gisel was convulsing without being able to say a word. Slowly then she saw dozens of black figures behind Theos come into view. Some have black hair with horns, some are tall and big with scary faces, some are scaly like snakes. Some have one leg but a tail. Some are like humans but have brown hair and lots of them. It made Gisel even more scared and lifted her body to back away.
"You will live forever painfully in my son's place!"
"I will feel satisfied and my revenge is avenged because you will continue to witness the deaths of those you care about!"
"Even with my life, I will avenge his death"
Gisel was shivering and scared. Her body that had been convulsing slowly began to return to normal. Her legs and arms, which were sore, suddenly disappeared.
"Accept my curse, and every full moon you must let your body be possessed by them," Theos said.
"Please forgive me!"
"It's possible, as long as you can bring my son back to life, “ shouted Gisel regretfully. If only she didn't dare to kill his son Leone. She won't be like this.
"A regret for the rest of your life. You certainly won't die, because you drank immortal blood"
"No way," said Gisel.
“You can only escape the curse, if you meet this red full moon, someone can remove the curse,” Theos said, then he stabbed his Dagger right into his heart and then strangled Gisel. Giselle is in pain. Her neck was strangled. Gisel's eyes bulged in pain. Her mouth was choking. Theos is then seen sobbing. To avenge his son's death. He had to do this.
Suddenly blood came out of her mouth. Theos then stuck his finger down his throat. His right hand was still choking Gisel while his left hand seemed to be reaching for something in his mouth. Then he took something out of his mouth. A green glowing object came out of his mouth.
Theos quickly then stuffed the thing into Gisel's open mouth, and struggled from the choke.
Gisel accidentally swallowed the green foreign object. After Gisel swallowed it. Theos fainted and let out a laugh. Instantly Theos body emitted smoke.
Gisel fell down and was unconscious. The last time she looked, dozens of creatures were grinning at her.
