Hello, readers. I love this game so much... So I've made up my mind to make it more available to people who want to know about A Witch's Tale, but don't have access to the game. I hope to promote the game so more people will buy it as well. I don't own much in this fic. I don't own the characters, some of the dialogue, or the plot line. I've gotten most of the dialogue straight from the game, only editing it to make the situations the characters are in easier to visualize. I'm not going to change the plot or add any OC's. Just straight up, 98% A Witch's Tale. I hope you enjoy reading this, and please feel free to review and follow. -HD106
Thunder roared in the distance. The green water of the lake surrounding the school shimmered in the moonlight. The night was young over a prestigious magic academy, where a young witch resided. She was in the library, searching for dusty books. She spotted a very peculiar one sitting on the top shelf. Grabbing a ladder, she rolled it towards the place she had spotted the curious book. She climbed up, and pulled at the book. When she had it in her arms, she climbed down the ladder and sat down on the floor. She started on the second page, as the first was ripped out.
"Once upon a time,
over 1,000 years ago...
A tribe of powerful
witches lived beneath
our world.
These ancient witches...
Created runes from
the dark powers
of the underworld.
This rune magic was
potent, but incredibly
dangerous.
But the witches grew
jealous of the surface
world.
For their world was
filled with darkness
and decay.
But the surface world
was lush and beautiful.
So the witches
invaded the land.
They used their rune
magic to wreak awful
damage.
The surface people
had no defense against
such power.
But when all seemed
lost, the mystical
Alice appeared.
Young Queen Alice was
deeply disturbed by
the bloodshed.
She was able to use the
rune magic against
the witches.
And using this power,
she sealed the away
for good.
Only Alice knows where
the ancient magic is
hidden.
And the Eld Witch was
sealed away as well.
Rumor has it she still
lives deep beneath
the earth.
As time went by, the
rune magic disappeared.
Now...
It is the forbidden magic.
A legend that lives only
in books and quiet
whispers."
"This is amazing..." Liddell's eyes darted across the page of the old book she was reading.
She was constantly searching for new things to learn that wasn't taught in classes, so a story like this was very interesting to the young witch. She heard the library door whine as it opened behind her.
"Come on, Liddell. We're gonna be late for class! Let's go!" She heard her friend's voice from the doorway.
"Class? That's stupid. The magic they're teaching us is for babies!" She continued flipping through the pages of the book.
"Well you can't just skip class whenever you want!" Her cat eared friend scolded.
"Plus, our classmates suck. All they care about if pop stars and fashion!" She closed the book, facing her friend.
The brown cat ears of her friend twitched as she spoke.
"So what, you don't need school at all?"
"Nope, not at all." The blonde witch replied.
The cat girl sighed.
"You know what's hot right now, Kitty? Forbidden magic!"
"Forbidden magic?" Her friend's eyes widened.
"Yeah, some magic spell from like 1,000 years ago! I keep reading about how powerful and destructive it is. If I could get my hands on something like that, I could become stronger than Queen Alice herself!"
"Um, who?" Kitty rolled her eyes.
"And then, just maybe..." The witch continued, her voice in a whisper.
"Umm, Liddell?"
"What?! Stop looking stupid!" Liddell crossed her arms, holding the book to her chest.
"Well, how're you gonna find a 1,000-year-old spell?" Her friend asked curiously.
"Well... Uh, y'know, look around, I guess."
"In other words, you have no idea. Sounds about right," Kitty giggled. "But I might know something about it." She continued.
The witch looked up at her, her eyes twinkling deviously.
"Well, out with it!" She demanded.
"I dunno if it's the same... But there's this castle they say hides a dangerous magic. I heard my grandpa talking to Babayaga about it once." She twiddled her thumbs as she spoke.
"Yeah... Sounds like a winner." The witch smirked devilishly.
"Hey, what's with that smile? You look... Totally evil." Her cat eared friend backed up towards the door.
"I'm going to that castle," Liddell said, pacing towards her friend, handing her the books she was looking at. "Oh, and could you return these for me? Thanks!" She pushed open the door, and headed outside into the cold night air.
