In bleak town there is a curse that began with the greed of some peasants, who were extremely poor and suffered from hunger. Those men only thought about them and made a pact with a demon called "moloch". They were willing to do anything to have "a better life". They even considered the act of killing virgin women as an offering to the demon.

The demon looked at the face of those greedy men. He realized that they would be willing to give anything to fulfill their wishes, but he had to be sure if his ambition was big enough to entertain him for a while.

- Do you want my help? then burn a child alive at this time- Said the devil with a mocking gesture and a malicious smile. He wanted to see if those men were capable of such a barbaric act.

-yes- They answered in unison. The peasants did not hesitate and they accepted in order to obtain the help of the demon moloch.

The demon saw the face of despair of the peasants and began to laugh with a sinister voice that made everyone who heard them shudder.

-well, then we will create a pact- he said demon. The peasants realized that there was no going back after signing the pact, but they continued despite the consequences.

The pact consisted in giving a child every 5 years chosen by the same demon to be burned alive. He did not choose a baby at random, he chose between the newborns at 2 years and they had something that caught his attention or it just irritated him. In return the peasants would not go hungry, nor needs.

70 years have passed and the village prepared for the design of the new offering. All the farmers ran to place the children from 0 to 2 years old on the large inverted pentagram that was drawn on the floor. They placed 6 candles around that cursed circle. It was night and despite the strong wind, the candles did not go out. The roar of the wind only indicates that the demon was about to arrive.

the little boys and little girls are cry, they are afraid of being chosen by the demon. The demon began to walk and noticed that a baby was not crying. That baby is sleeping, while everyone else cries. The demon approached and he pick it up. The baby smiled, instead of crying.

-This will be the sacrifice- The demon said suddenly. And the peasants rejoiced in happiness, from that moment they sentenced the life of little Amelia.

Amelia's parents refused to sacrifice her, so they were killed so they do not interfere in the future. No one could deny the agreement between the demon and death is punishment for the one who breaks the rules. The only difference is: How will the death of the one who broke the rules be?

Amelia is a blonde girl with long wavy hair, everyone in the town had black hair color so her hair color was unusual. His eye color was blue like everyone's in town.

All the peasants of the town treat Amelia in a special way, since his death would bring prosperity to the peasants , this is how they treat all those children chosen to die.

Amelia grew up without her parents, she never got to know them. However, she did not feel alone because she lived with the blacksmith's family who took care of her when she was still a baby.

For that reason, Amelia is very close to Jin, the blacksmith's son. He always said things to his face. If he saw something wrong, he criticized it and if he saw something right, he praised it.

Jina is the blacksmith's other daughter, but she is very capricious and doesn't usually talk to Amelia much. Jina seems to please Amelia, although she didn't usually show it.

The blacksmith's wife was Amelia's legitimate aunt, who was her father's sister. She bathed her, dressed her and combed every day. For Amelia she was like a mother.

The peasants told Amelia that her parents died almost after her birth, but they didn't tell her why. The reason why her parents died is that: it was decided that she would be offered at the stake to the demon "Moloch" and her parents refused. His skin was torn almost unrecognizable in sight and his flesh served as food for the crows.

Amelia's father was a simple peasant, with an air of greatness, who longed to leave Bleak Town to get to know the world. When he fell in love with Amelia's mother, he wanted to travel the same places she had gone to. He dreamed of exploring someday, those places his wife referred to in his stories, even if that dream was impossible.

Amelia's mother was from an aristocratic family, who escaped from her home to marry a peasant. People always told him how beautiful his mother was. His mother used to wear a brown dress; Amelia wanted to use it one day, but she knew that would not be possible.

People often smile at Amelia while they say "you are the savior" and "thanks to you, everyone can be happy." People did not realize how cruel it was to say that to a girl whom they plan to kill. No one would be happy with that situation.

Amelia was not able to contradict the words of the peasants, they raised her with the idea that her death would help everyone. How could she tell them she didn't want to? It was impossible for words like these to come out of her mouth and yet that is what she wanted.

Amelia dreamed of a happy life constantly, but she knew it was impossible. She was aware that she could not escape death, after all it was her destiny to die. "Why is fate so cruel to me?" It was a question that was going through his head and that maybe it would never be answered.
