Dark forest!

In anyways they were still a group of witches who rebelled against a sovereign rulership to be at their disadvantage and they felt like they can't be restrained by all the rules in place. This rebellion was as a result of a long term dispute between a single witch and a previous Queen back then which escalated and the followers of the witch followed after her.This rebellion was orchestrated by a group norm back then, who saw other means of further enhancing their talents and affinity for spell casting. This was an idea proposed by a research witch who specializes in crafting out unethical research patterns for certain issues pertaining witches with disabilities; mostly norms with high ambition to gain more power. The title ' norm ' became a curse and burden they wanted to relinquish.

Coupled with the research witch who was very fond of experimenting on norms with an aid of granting their ultimate wish. To become like a gifted. His aim of research was to implant talents into norms without any talents at all and this process leads to few deaths of these witches who couldn't bear through the process - ending up dying halfway before the process reaches its ends. Some others with high tenacity end up surviving the ordeal but the process changes their looks into something much hideous and it gives rise to the old and dead look of some witches with ugly skin colours while sometimes leaving behind cracks on their faces and skin.

This process carried on for countless years and it became all spread throughout the continent of the research-witch and how his means of helping norms grow talents. That wasn't the end of his creation; he went further into an art of perfecting the talent implantation method which he termed as the ' Great witches transformation techniques'. It became an assignment for him to perfect the looks of these witches who had undergone the process of acquiring talent; to revert their looks back. Giving them their previous selves while experimenting on several options and mixture of different wide and magic wielding creatures along with rare vines into his experiment.

At the end of his experiment and research, it was the hair and blood of a gifted person which he stumbled upon; completing his toils and endless research. With this last ingredient his work will become a success. Yet the hardship involved in getting a single strand of hair from a gifted was hard to talk more of their blood; which was as impossible as causing the sun to shine at night! He stopped in all his works further to medicate on a simple way out, still it was pointless and when confronted by the same group of norms he experimented on, he explained the difficulty which he founded along the process so far while also ensuring a more proper substitute ingredient after further research.

Rather than cooperate with him, the witches went on a rampage all over the continent, attacking all gifted-witches they came across while acquiring their blood and it became a world wide rampage in Mystical. These norms transformed-gifted took turns in attacking a country while they went beyond the limit of an average disaster to a full blown chaos.

At the end, trace of a deep suited grudge was seated within the heart of these transformed-gifted causing them to become dangerously violent! Their greed and selfish intentions brought to their destruction and they were cast out of all land in Mystical, though before that they were severely dealt with to give them a befitting answer to all their misconduct. Afterwards they were driven out from Mystical; which made them reside in the dark forest in the continent.

At the far side of Sparks, towards the capital with thick dark forest neighboring between itself and Orene. A figure clothed in dark mixed red cloak walking through the forest at an odd hour of the night, heading for the heart of the forest. Right now the moon had replaced the sun; its light was engracing on the land casting his splendid shadows over the waters.

Movement! Movement!

He came to a stop and stood looking ahead towards the vast and seemingly thick forest spreading on.

Rustle! The leaves swayed slightly.

Swoosh...! ! !

A figure clothed in a navy green combat suit appeared before the cloaked figure. His eyes was very sharp amidst the darkness; a dark shade of green color eyes glistening very bright in the dark forest, with his expression not seen very clearly through the darkness of the night.

* Mr Porter... * The man who appeared called out to the cloaked figure who only responded with a nod of his head while signaling the man to lead the path forward. The man who appeared was Gurus a rogue witch who lived on the outside of the country away from the capital and the settlement of Sparks. Though sometimes these witches disguise themselves and enter into the city; at their risk of getting spotted.

* Alright I would send us into the entrance of the main gate into the temptress castle! * Gurus spoke out explaining his plans beforehand, since he knew how unlikely the cloaked man would move with him without knowing his agenda.

* Mm...* He gave a passive answer, seemingly interested in getting this meeting over with.The next second Gurus hands lit up with green beams of light. He swirled his hands in the air like he was conjuring a path amidst the darkness which glowed very much.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Both of them vanished from the spot they previously stood, leaving for the entrance of the dark forest. A couple of minutes later they reappeared at the foot of the dark forest away from all the many trees and shrubs where they previously were; looking ahead where an image of a castle was. Gurus pulled out an anti dark crystal bulb which glowed very brightly illuminating their path. Taking the lead they both began walking forward in the direction of the castle.

Just ahead of them, was a dark creepy bridge which laid before them.The path beyond the bridge was very foggy and spiked with lots of poisonous veins.Though the dark forest was lawless, still the witches here lay these traps here, in marking territories! To deter unwanted members from intruding into their space.

Both of them stood there, with Gurus who was leading. He dropped the light at the ground; raising his both hands upwards, taking a firm stance while spreading out his hands to draw more space between his both hands, afterwards he closed his eyes.

* PATH WITH DOORS, REVEAL THE PASSAGE TO THE CASTLE'S DOOR...*

A green glow of light emitted from his hands again meanwhile a dark vortex mixed with green lights started spiraling at the very center of the bridge. The fluctuation of magic energy emitting from him wasn't pure, since these witches from the dark forest were rogues. The white haired man stood to the side and watched him, with an unamused glint in his eyes. Gurus opened his eyes which glowed with dark emerald hue, the dark vortex became stabilized at the center of the bridge. And through the vortex a passageway was revealed, with a large opened door just at the center of it.

Gurus turned backwards slightly and looked towards the man behind him, who urged him to move onward from where he stood.

It was always noted to trade or carry out activity with a rogue having crossed hearts or rather no heart at all since they could stab one at any time. Which made the white haired man cautious, even if he was a gifted witch. Soon Gurus stepped into the passageway at the center of the bridge and disappeared; followed by the white haired man and the vortex closed after him.

Deep at the castle's other side, a woman with dark brown hair stood in a dimly lit room looking at a mirror and seeing her reflection. She had an appearance like a daisy, planted in a dark swamp where it won't receive proper sunlight; giving her a sickly kind of look. With an air of seduction around her. A long straight hair reaching her waist with a pale skin like someone lacking nutrients. What stood out about her most was her sharp red eyes, which looked very bewitching and cold, carrying the ability of pulling out one's soul if not careful.

This woman was among the keepers in the dark forest. Though it wasn't officiated here with the lawlessness and much strive to survive. Yet the dark forest had orders combined with three keepers which had their own territory with barriers set up in marking it. Other rogue witches come under these keepers who have more means of getting resources for themselves, as well as good standings at the dark forest.
