The Devil's Apprentice

Chapter forty one :.   VIOLET  The lover

Marcus Reese POV

Learning to master nature
Seriously, control the waves , be nature feel it .....

Those words and more I have been hearing for the past three days , so God help me I will squash her to death if she doesn't stop talking.

" Yes lady Violet we have master enough haven't we ". I inquire again

" Not we have not , until your negative aura is gone, you can't defeat evil with negativity, you need to be positive in everything, show love even when everyone thinks they is no hope ".   She encouraged and Aura smiled in acknowledgment.

I scoffed ". Seriously, Miss Violet, we are fighting a war , not going on a picnic where we show love to your rival ".  

" Well I beg to differ, they are two sides to every war , I have witnessed and seen, being in many great battles before your time . No one wants war , the Lord of darkness may be pure evil but his accomplices may not , they fight for a reason apart to serve their master .". She said and walked into the cabin

" I don't get her , where is she going??". I questioned

" To take a nap , you know , I think you are being kind of hard on Violet, she is far older as you can see and she knows what she is saying ". Aura argued

" Seriously, what does love have to do in war ". I shout

" Maybe more than you think !!". She exclaimed and walked out

————————————————————————————

The hours started counting and I felt  tired

She came to me again and I agreed but I regret it

I rolled my eyes, trying to stifle my frustration. Violet's relentless positivity was starting to grate on me. We were in the midst of a war, not some spiritual retreat.

"Marcus, you're not listening," Violet said, her voice gentle but firm. "Negativity will consume you if you don't learn to let go. You need to find balance within yourself before you can face the darkness outside."

I sighed, feeling a surge of irritation. "Violet, I appreciate your concern, but I know what I'm doing. I've been fighting this war for years."

Violet's eyes locked onto mine, her gaze piercing. "That's exactly my point, Marcus. You've been fighting for years, but have you ever stopped to consider why? What drives you? Is it a desire for justice, or is it something deeper?"

I hesitated, taken aback by Violet's words. No one had ever asked me that before. I'd always assumed it was about justice, but now I wasn't so sure.

Violet's expression softened. "Marcus, you're the Lover. You have the capacity to love deeply, to connect with others on a profound level. But you've been using that energy to fuel your anger  It's time to learn how to harness that energy for good."

I felt a lump form in my throat as Violet's words struck a chord within me. I'd never thought about my role as the Lover in that way before, I always thought myself as a warrior...

"What do I need to do?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Violet smiled. "You need to learn to love yourself, Marcus. To accept yourself, flaws and all. Only then can you truly love others, and find the balance you need to defeat the darkness."

I nodded, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I was ready to embark on this journey, to learn how to harness my energy as the Lover.

As I looked at Violet, I felt a sense of gratitude towards her. She'd seen something in me that I hadn't even seen myself, and she was helping me to unlock my true potential.

"Thank you, Violet," I said, my voice sincere.

Violet's smile faltered for a moment, and I saw a glimmer of sadness in her eyes. "You're welcome, Marcus. But remember, the journey of the Lover is not an easy one. You'll be forced to confront your deepest fears and desires. Are you prepared for that?"

I steeled myself, knowing that I had to be honest with myself. "I'm ready," I said, my voice firm.

Violet nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Then let's begin."

But one question that keeps bugging me , will I be able to win this fight, I don't know anymore who I am up against but will I conquer at the end , will I win ????????
