Chapter Two.1 The Witch X The Meister

The Witch X the Court

Ethane smiling, he spoke. "You shouldn't sing so openly in another person's bedroom." Luna nodding in agreement she told him. "True but you shouldn't have brought that said person inside your bedroom, knowing she could be doing just about anything." Ethane laughing, he sat beside her. He had forgotten how long it was since he's had himself a really good laughter.

Thinking back earlier he spoke. "That song how do you know it?" Luna turning to face him she spoke. "I just do it's not a song but a prayer, in the olden world. Virgin maidens would lift up their voices, for the great gods to bless them." Pausing she finished. "How do you know it?" She asks. Ethane nodding, he smiled faintly. "My mum when I was a little boy she used to sing, this too me." Luna looking away her eyes lowered.

Ethane noticing this change ask her. "Where is your parents?" Luna suddenly winched as if he had inflicted horrible pain. Her hands rubbing against her shoulders. She signed. "I do not know where my parents are or anything about me really, all I know is my name is Luna and I hate the winter." Ethane not understanding her. He wanted to pressed for a better answer but saw that she was having a hard time.

Sighing, Ethane spoke. "Time for bed kiddo you, Nero and I both have a busy day morrow. Tomorrow we hunt for the Devoured of Planets and this time…she won't get away from me." Standing up from the bed Luna carefully walked passed him not saying a word. Opening the door to his room. She continued to walk, downstairs towards the room she was sharing with Nero. "Good Night Luna." He called out. Not responding Luna continued to walk down the quiet hallway, the tiny white pale girl slumping over into her bed. She closed her eyes as she imagined countless of faceless women in pure garments. Each one running up to try and touch her skin.

ON THE PLANET CATALONIA

"A boy meets girl. There lies the beginning and the ending of the world. Ha ha ha... So interesting." Duke Lavern cryptically spoke. Smiling he twirled a string of his pink and green signature hair around his fingers. His honey orange skin and cat purple eyes sulking underneath his bee honey comb, hairstyle. Duke Lavern of the Celestial Court ordered for Duke Brigham to be sent for. The Celestial Court guards following his orders they left from before him.

Hearing a ghastly childlike voice. Duke Lavern closed his eyes as the fog spoke. "Tee Hee you've lost her Lavvy. You're going to be in trouble if they found out she's gone and with some dirty little Gatlian boy too." The Fog teased. Opening his eyes Duke Lavern spoke. "Pipe down Silva you just want to see me get into trouble by the Celestial Crystals... Well i hate to break your heart. Then again I don't. He smirked. "Listen you little demon. It's not going to happened! I will get her back just you wait and see. Oh and as for that Gatlian mutt… will see how he fares once the beast starts to awaken."

Hearing a knock upon his doors. Duke Brigham saw the white and sliver coats sweeping the bottoms of his blue icy floors. "Come to get me like a trained little rat?" He asked them. His blue and green hair pulled back into a tight ponytailed. The Duke of the Celestial Court stood up from behind his desk. Walking passed them his dark skinned bruised from yesterday. He never gave way to the pain that the young Mage Caster, had inflicted upon him.

No, Duke Brigham's yellowish eyes were full of passion and excitement. He had finally found him a hunt that could give him the pleasures he'd been lusting for. "Ethane Blackwood I shall make you my next mark." He thought. Walking out of the room Duke Brigham's face held a total shine to it as he walked ahead of them not a care in the world addressed his features. Opening the door Duke Lavern sat behind his seat as he ordered for him to shut the door.

Sliding into the chair Duke Brigham allowed Duke Lavern to gather his composure before he spoke. "What happened?" Smiling Duke Brigham explained the details of the horrible attack against the Celestial Government. How all of the neighboring countries had sent their best warriors to do harm against, them. "So what happened to your little friend today? You know the one who got killed all of your team... the Gatlian boy." Duke Lavern ask him.

Scratching his head as his lips curved into a cruel smile. Sir Duke Brigham looked towards the ceiling his mind playing out the scenes from before, he spoke. "Gone but not forgotten. Oh I tend to settle the score with him once and for all." Looking at him Duke Lavern gave permission for him to recaptured Luna and to destroy Ethane. Thanking Duke Lavern, he sent him off as he watched the skies full of cloudy storms.

Black snow still raining on downward from the frosty heavens Duke Lavern whispered. "Let the winter begin." Down the halls of the Celestial Palace, Duke Brigham had finally made it into his room. When he noticed his stuff had been burned badly. His belongs, the picture of his recent trip to another conquering planet destroyed. Everything, he let out a loud sound as Duke Lavern smiled with glee. He had ordered the Celestial court guards to burn up everything in his room, in hopes of motivation for the next time he meets Ethane.

Ruled by his emotions his hair grew out of place as his shadow began to grow bigger and wider. His voice a dark deep howl, it roared as he spoke. "You are dead little Meister! Do you hear me?!!" Silva could faintly hear the shrieking roars of Duke Brigham's changed personalities when she spoke. "I believe he's gotten the message." Smiling, Duke Lavern continue to watch the skies.

"Look at it Silva, our mother planet home to our beautiful winter mother of death. We must get her back or else, this world and all in it will perished." Silva's ghastly fogged face floating in and out, she watched the skies. Smiling she whispered "Beautiful isn't it."

The planet of CATALONIA, had heard the news that their witch was missing. Screaming and whaling took placed as people in the city court and over past the country side, started to panic. It was the first real terror the people of this planet had ever faced. Sure, they've faced wars, sieges, deaths, bloodshed, and even take overs, though nothing as horrible as learning that their beloved devouring of planets mother was missing.

She had been stolen by a neighboring planet, the people grew colder and frantic as the Celestial court guards assured, safety to all. "She's gone! Our mother planet will die out without our mother. Find her! Oh won't someone please find our beautiful Immortal Witch?!!" A woman shouted. Her lavender skin full of sparkling crystals. She paced back in fort of the castle. Scared and half out of her mind. Her dark blue hair with swirls of yellow tips, danced below her feet as they sweep the ground she walked upon.

"Calm down Cinnamon, she will be found. Rest assured the Celestial court and its Dukes will not allow this to go any further. Besides the Celestial Crystals sees and knows all. She will be found and returned." A neighboring man spoke. His patchwork skin of colors gleaming under the cloudy beautiful sky, he held out a pink, yellow, green and blue hand. Cinnamon grabbing it she twirled herself into his arms. "Do you promise Pierre?" She asked the young man.

His pink eyes beaming he spoke "Yes I do my love." Her black coal eyes smiling back. She leaned into him. Both of them disappearing together like a spark of flame, they retreated off. The court had heard many people praying to the rural gods and goddess, asking for protection as they look for the return of the Immortal witch. "Silva dismissed yourself, I want to be alone tonight." Duke Lavern ordered. Nodding she disappeared in the mist. Silva making her way to a cordial down the hall, she arrived upon her hidden quarters. Opening the door, Silva, materialized.

Her full body covered in filthy rags, she began to undressing herself. Each dirty, mangled rag, falling down to the floor, upon the beautiful pale blue ice carpet. She walked towards her mirror. Standing there naked her dark black skin shining, like diamonds upon coal. She smiled as the white iris of her eyes beamed with delight. No one in the Celestial court has fully ever seen Silva's appearance. She had masked her presence with her magic, keeping away from unwanted detection from enemies.

Silva had earned the name "Queen of mists" for she could vaporized into a phantom mist. Her long orange hair falling down her backside. She smiled as two blue crystal gems covered the nipples of her breast and her belly button. "Oh, what sweet sounds this year brings." She spoke. Admiring her reflection still, Silva couldn't help but enjoy the delightful look of the black snow. She knew that her mother planet shall survive, she had fate that Duke Lavern and them will return The Immortal Witch back home. Still she knew her job very well. Pulling up a chair she pulled back her long orange hair, exposing her neck. Silva rubbed the middle spot until it faded and a black cube like hole appeared.

Pulling a long icy cord out from the chair she attacked the cord into the mystery cube hole. Plugging into the cord up into the wall, Silva eyes glowed as she whispered "Kitten Misty here reporting to The Celestial Crystals, update the Witch has vanished." The Celestial Crystals speaking throughout Silva's conscious they ordered she continue monitoring the situation until further directions.

"We will not intervened unless we have no choice, we see the past, present and the future and our mother shall return. Though she will not be along…" Interrupting the Celestial Crystals, Silva asked "What do you mean?" Speaking again throughout her they spoke "Even as we speak now there is a Warlock being born." Gleaming with a wicked scowl Silva ended the contact but not before The Celestial Crystals, warning once more to not speak upon this. Agreeing she signed off.

"The tides are beginning to swarm fierily. I do only hope the dear neighboring planets can withstand her waves." Laughing she headed into her bedroom. Everyone withdrawing back to their respective homes. The celebration ending in silence as they realized very soon all of their lives, will soon end. Unless The Immortal Witch can be found and returned safely.

The Immortal witch presence is an awe and a curse. For if she ever leaves her pod or the planet. It would mean certain death upon them all. The Immortal Witch represent life and victory for them all. Losing her means losing their lives. Inside of a home on the planet a woman fixes dinner for her family. Colorful candy corn, soda pop in rainbow colors, and cotton candy lollipops. Families on Catalonia always eat such rad and colorful sugary foods.

Never eating anything from the olden world just sweet foods that causes bad teeth and weight gain. Even still, the mother with her dark blue skin and lime green hair and yellow eyes, smiled at her three children. All of them with the same skin tone and features. Smiling, the elderly woman spoke "Have you washed your hands?" The woman asking her three small children if they've washed their hands. The children each smiling said spoke. "Yes Mama".

Placing the sweet foods upon their plates, she sat in her chair as they said graced. "Bestowed upon us from our Immortal Witch and The Celestial Crystals. May we continue a life span of happiness and virtue unto." The family eating, they each went into their respectful corners of the estate, tummies full on laughter and good sweets. They bid farewell for the night. This was a normal life on Catalonia, the people would eat, drink, and be merry, every day of their lives.

While the neighboring planets had to fiend for their lives and fight each other on a daily basis for food. Catalonian citizens were able to enjoy the posh life of civilization.

Throughout the planet everyone had been alarmed, about The Immortal Witch's disappearance. Nothing was more said, but that she had gone missing and they suspect, a neighboring planet of foul play. It took overtime duty more so than ever from The Celestial court guards, who were assigned to be put in order by The Celestial Crystals.

Their job was to keep the peace, carefree attitudes of the people but now that news broke out. There was no longer peace. No the neoplasia sky was ripe with fear and terror. Inside one home surprisingly wasn't fear but shocking happiness. Kris Jr, had just gotten out of her car when she heard about the Witch's disappearance. Unlike her coworkers, family, neighbors, friends, and the whole planet. She wasn't scared but instead happy.

In her mind, she believes that if the Witch never returns than the world can know true peace and begin to heal. Such thoughts were banished, and enslaved here on Catalonia. If you were ever caught feeling such hatred and hope, towards the Impurity of the Immortal Witch, you've soon learned that thoughts like those do have repercussions. "Kris, have you heard she's missing?" Stamper Bin asked. Coming across the pink and yellow brick road, he carefully walked up to Kris Jr.

Helping her, with the bags he waited for a response when she feigned sadness. "Yea, I did. Such horrible news but oh well. She's gone and we will be next." Moving towards the crystal clear sidewalk to her home. Stamper, pulled her collar back towards him. Upset he spoke, "What do you mean we will be next? What's with the attitude? We lost our mother and your all laid back. She will return and those dirty scum suckers, shall reap the coals of her hatred."

Laughing she grabbed her bags from him, before opening the door to her home. Smiling she spoke. "Perhaps you are right Stamper, goodnight." Closing the door behind her. She allowed Stamper to continue on yelling. His voice ringing higher than the alarms he shouted. "Of course I am! Don't ever let me hear you say crap like that ever again." His green fist shaking about as she peaked out one red orange eye. Shaking her lavender hair, Kris brown skin begin to sweat as he raved on.

The little green man was actually making himself greener with each hissy fit he threw. Of course, her skin didn't sweat from that along she began to sweat from the conviction in his voice. Kris, had known Stamper, since they were kids and never in million years would she ever, hear him threatening her. Of course, not right out there but he did imply it. It was a fair warning considering here on Catalonia, there are no fair warnings. When someone has spoken ill about The Immortal Witch.

They find any bad remarks total direct disrespect towards The Celestial Crystals, Catalonia, and what we stand for as beings of a free nation planet. If this was any other fool, Kris Jr would've right now been in the crystal stables soaking her brown skin in scorching hot water. Water that will covered her whole body, from face to feet, until she repented or in other words run out of air and die. Kris, has heard the tales, of many Catalonians not being able to resist the steam and scowl of the water.

Their heartbeats racing, trying to keep the body calm simply just give out and they all die. Kris, still spying she waited awhile before leaving from the front door. Stamper had gone on down the street singing "God and Goddess Bless our holy mother." Flinging her body unto a crystal rainbow chair, Kris wondered what life on the other planets must be like. "Who did they worship? What was dinner time like? Any entertainment?" Every day she wondered this and every day she got, closer and closer to what needed to be done.

It was becoming increasingly clearer each passing second. Kris Jr, must leave Catalonia.

She must runaway and find The Witch, kill her or disarm her then find a new planet to start all over again on. It was a suicide mission, one where many on the planet didn't share the same feelings. Still, thinking to herself she whispered. "Still, there's got to be someone else on this planet whose tired of The Witch and The Celestial Crystals?" Night had fallen. The sky gleaming jet crystal black. She headed for her bedroom but not before, saying to herself. "I've got it."

BACK ON GATLIN

Ethane and Luna, were both sitting by a nearby pond behind his house when Nero rushed around the corner. Her eyes bugging out, Ethane had thought she must've had met a mouse she couldn't handle. Giggling, Luna covered her mouth as Ethane took notice of her reaction. Considering she just shared his thought, the reaction was priceless for the two. When Nero frowned. Her red eyes glaring the orange iris swirled around inside them.

She ordered him to follow her. The Princess and the Council had asked the seeking water for help. In hopes of locating The Immortal Witch. The alarm in his shoulders, tensing up from pain. Luna winced from the gestured as he shot up from off the ground. Following Nero, he told Luna to sit here and wait for him outside. Rushing off to the ruins of olden. Nero and Ethane, both wondered "What could the seeking water be prophesying now?"

Arriving just in time, Ethane bowed in front of the Princess as the Seeking water begin to speak. "The face of betrayal lies amongst you… Beware pleasant faces and a innocent body. For many have been fooled by her presence." Ethane and the rest of the country, had a feeling the seeking water was talking about The Immortal Witch. Each Gatlian starting to wondered who could it be that has a pleasant face and innocent body. They each wondered desperately. Not knowing the very answer they seek was amongst them as we speak.
