Sometime after the invasion of the Witch Forest a young mage goes on a quest assigned to him by Rill of the Azure Deer only to get lost and stumble into the Witch Forest. This story recounts those events.
Puri Randilla of the Azure Deer wasn’t terrible with directions but ending up in Witch’s Forest by accident is a feat so improbable it is regarded as godly even today. By his side was fellow Azure Deer, Kyle Gogle whom tried to tell the boy he was going the wrong way but couldn’t change his mind. As a result they were now lost in the Witch’s forest not so eagerly waiting for the Queen to detect them capture them and then hopefully finding a way out.
However a moment later they heard not the sound of crows but instead a rustling in the bushes before a girl sprung from the foliage and pounced on Puri’s chest. The girl approached Puri’s neck with her jaw as her mouth dripped saliva. “Kyle!,” the boy yelled.
Kyle opened his grimoire and stuck his hand out towards Puri. “Bubble creation magic: Containment sphere.” The girl was trapped within immaculate sphere which she clawed at viciously with no results. “Now you classless fiend, tell us the way out of this meddlesome forest so that we may be on our way.”
The girl crossed her arms and sat in the bubble with a sour frown. “ONLY if you take me with you.”
“Seriously,” Puri whined, “you tried to eat me!”
“Well I didn’t so lets go before-,” she was cut off by the cawing of crows that seemed to loom ever closer. “Oh no. She’s here.” A ball of crows came from the sky and once they dispersed a new mage had arrived on the scene. She weilded a scythe of midnight black that suckked in all light around her and despite the cold aura she gave her mouth was twisted in a sinister grin.
“Cleo, honey,” the figure laughed. “You know I love tearing things apart but I wanted to save you for a special occasion. She used the scythe to scratch her black hair before preparing herself to fight, “Oh well. The queen gave me orders to kill you and the intruders so I suppose I’ll follow through~”
And so began the battle between the Azure Deer and Onyx the Jet Black Witch Assassin. To be continued in part 2.
