As Nathalie brought the passed out witch to the cellar of building, she was looking around. It sure was not suited to act as a dungeon. The cellar was more used to store some food, as the temperature was lower. Thinking how to chain the witch up, she wondered how much her powers would affect the stones if she tried to melt it with her acid.
Trying to use her power on the stone, she noticed that if she put in more magic into it, that it was easy to melt it. This was going to be a long process. To make sure that the captured witch wouldn't do something funny she decided to use her powers first on her.
Putting a piece of cloth in the mouth of the witch, Nathalie gagged the captive. Thinking of how to handle her, she heard the strange voice again in her head, "Amputate her arms and legs! We don't need them! It will only form a resistance to our authority! We only need her blood!"
Being confused of where this voice came from, Nathalie decided to listen to this voice, thinking that it was her instincts. With this, Nathalie decided that the best choice was to amputate her arms and legs, leaving the captive as a bag of blood.
Looking over the unconscious body, Nathalie started to drip her magical acid on the joints of the witch. As the witch was unconscious, she would not scream nor resist, making the job of Nathalie easier. As she started to amputate the captive, Emily walked in curious of what was happening.
Seeing what Nathalie was about to do, Emily did not protest. Instead, when Nathalie looked over to Emily, she saw a wicked smile on her face. It seemed as if Emily had a similar thought going on. Noticing Nathalie looking at her, Nathalie responded, "The ones that defy our decisions and orders should suffer! I am just sad that she is unconscious! I wanted to hear her screams! How she would beg for her life!" it looked as if Emily was getting aroused by the thought of others suffering. She continued, her grin growing, "Oh well, I will enjoy her reactions when she wakes up!"
With this, Nathalie first amputated the witch and started to work on increasing the size of the cellar. It would definitely take another day or so before she would create a decent looking cellar to work in. Just as Nathalie amputated one of the arms, someone entered the cellar. It was Liana who entered.
"Miss, I wanted to notify you that I was able to convince 10 mortals to join us. They are waiting upstairs, what should I do with them?" hearing this, Nathalie looked towards Liana. She was surprised that Liana did not react either to what was happening to the witch on the ground. It was clear that the loyalty of Liana was indeed strong. Happy with this, Nathalie replied, "I will be busy for today, I will work on them after I am finished expanding the cellar."
Hearing this, Liana bowed to Nathalie and Emily before leaving them alone. As Liana left, Nathalie continued on where she left.
…
After two days, everything was finished. The captive witch was amputated and bound in the cellar, holding barely to her life. As for the cellar, it increased in size and now had 4 extra rooms. Everything took more than a full day to finish.
As Nathalie was exhausted by everything, she took the rest of the second day to rest up and regains her strength. Getting back up from her bed, it was time for her to talk with the mortals. She also had to do some experiments on them to see what the effects are of the magical mixtures on mortal bodies.
Walking into the room where the mortals were located, she took a glance on who Liana had recruited. Nathalie was rather pleased by what Liana had done. The group was well diverse. Of the 10 mortals 6 of them were adult, 3 of which male. As for the young ones, two was male. This would give Nathalie a good group to experiment on and see what the various results were.
As she finished looking over everyone Nathalie welcomed everyone, "I welcome you all. I believe that you all know why you are here. I am happy to see that Taquila still has smart mortals in them. Well, in order to start with the research, I require you all to follow me into the cellar." Saying these words, Nathalie turned around and started heading to the cellar.
…
Arrived at the cellar, Nathalie led the group in to one of the four rooms. In one of the rooms, the body of the captive witch was located. The other three would be used to do various experiments on the mortals. Looking back at the group that followed her she said, "So which brave soul wants to go first?"
A young man in his early 20s walked forward, "I Renaldo will be first Miss." Looking at the young man, Nathalie smiled and led him to one of the rooms. In the room, Nathalie took out a vial of the mixture and handed it to him. "Well Renaldo, all you have to do is drink the mixture in the vial. If everything goes as expected, your strength will increase. You will become the future of Taquila!"
Hearing these words, Renaldo took the vial in his hands and without any second though emptied it. As the mixture was consumed, Renaldo dropped onto the ground screaming in pain. Renaldo was rolling on the ground in pain for some moments until something shocking started to happen.
Looking at the scene, Nathalie could not help but gasp. The body of Renaldo started to mutate. His body was growing to an immense length. His face was started to deform as well as his whole body. However what shocked Nathalie the most was that this deformation looked similar to her. It looked like a mad demon. Renaldo was changing into a mad demon.
Realizing what was happening, Nathalie realized something. These potions, they were turning the consumer into the demons. The successful consumption of the magical stones would change them into demons. The rumors about a witch creating the demons popped up in her head. So that was what happened back then. That is how she did it all.
