Aki was cursed by a witch, who has vowed to end his bloodline. He was a prince, and she seemed to be doing just that. His cousins were gone, and he had no siblings. She had made sure that anytime he attempted at having heir that it ate at the womb.

So he was climbed a tower filled with obstacles, to make it to another witch. It is said when you reach the top, she will grant you a wish. He slayed everything that stopped him with his sword and once he made it the top, he was met with a rather young looking “woman”.

She was pouring tea and she gestured to the chair in front of her for him to sit in. “Sit.” She said in a soft tone. And he listened.
