~An Anthology of Howl's Moving Castle One-Shots~
Author's Note: I've been obsessed with this movie ever since I watched it again in the summer. Just loooovvvve the story! I was searching on this website for it, but I couldn't find it since I was on the Movies Page! :P This Fan Fiction will include short stories that include scenes from before, after and during the movie! Anyways, Please read and review!
DISCLAIMER: Name of The Witch of the Wastes is made up. I'll change it when I find the actual name.
ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: I do not own Howl's Moving Castle. Go look for Hayao Miyazaki or Dianne Wynne Jones for inquiries. :)
The Banishment
"Regina Aquistanon." The stern and cold voice spoke. The great hall of the Castle was silent, as the heavily shackled criminal, a twenty year-old sorceress, was brought by two guards to the front of Madame Sulliman, His Majesty's Head Sorceress.
"You have evaded the laws of Wizardry and allowed a demon to take your heart." She said coldly. "How do you plead guilty?"
"I have no regrets on my actions. I only strive to live a lavish life." The criminal replied defiantly.
The whole court gasped at this remark, and was quickly hushed by the Sorceress's stern glare.
"Very well then, You have admitted your wrong-doing, and are now banished to live in The Wastes Forever." The Sorceress administered the punishment to the immoral Witch.
The Criminal gasped, then shouted:
"The Wastes!? Surely, you must be kidding!"
Madame Sulliman shook her head slowly, then continued to speak.
"This is the punishment for your crime." The witch opened her mouth to speak, but saw that there was no hope for her, and began to walk to the gates of the palace. Before leaving, she turned around and shook her fist at the crowd.
"You will regret this, Sulliman! I shall have my revenge on all of you!" She angrily shouted. Then, with a huff, she turned around sharply and was led away, out of the Palace's gates.
Author's Note (Again): Did you figure out what time in the story this was? Well, Farewell until the Next Story! ^_^
