I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER OR PROFIT FROM THIS.
The Old One
(Jacqueline's POV)
This places looks really creepy. More so than death city at night. It's constantly dark and when I look around at some of the buildings I see the shadows of witchs with glowing eyes glaring at us. I reach out and grasp Kim's hand and she tightens her grip on my hand. "I never thought I would be here again." I hear Kim whispered. "With any luck we won't be here long." Mizune said. We walked into a dark castle where dozens of crows were perched atop of it with burning red eyes. "This is why we're here." Mizune said. I looked to Kim who had tightened her grip. She spoke in a voice hardly above a whisper. " Maba."
(Medusa's POV)
"Let's see what a Egyptian witch can do." Arachne said. Mira narrowed her eyes as she raised her arm out at my sister. The jackal beside her stood up and the shadows squirming around it shoot out and enveloped the entire shutting out all light making it impossible to see. However I could see just fine somehow. I raised my hand and I could it as clear as day. Just what is happening? I looked down and saw that the small area I am laid on is completely unfazed by the darkness around.
I looked to Mira and she was standing glaring at Arachne. She glanced to me before looking back at her foe. I saw her fist tighten before rushed toward with her familiar beside her towards my elder sister.
(Jacqueline's POV)
What I see was a large dark castle that only seemed to grow larger and larger as we approached it. We came to the gates of the castle and landed. Mizune's flames from her shoes vanished and Kim hopped off balancing my lantern stick body on her shoulder. See all the witches that were just at the gate was fine even though I counted twelve in total. What made me tremble were the looks they gave us. Death stares from all of them and I could tell it was aimed at me. They know I'm not just some lantern. They I'm a weapon and that Kim was and still is my meister. "Let us through." The apparent guards of the castle didn't move a inch from Mizune's words. They glared harder at me and I shock in fear even more than I already was.
"Their with me and have allegiance with the DWMA anymore. So. Let. Us. Pass. NOW." Mizune practically spelled it out for them with quite a bit of intensity in her last word. The guards looked at each other before half went to side of the gate and the others to the other side. From my weapon form I saw them raid their hands and six magic circles appear on the doors for both groups. Purple lines moved from the circles and gathered at the center of the gate as a seventh magic circle appeared. The doors slowly opened and to my amazement it wasn't a castle at all it was a large city. Everything was in a word. Spectacular. Even I could literally feel the magic in the air From the thousands of witches flying around on brooms, familiars, or other means to the witches standing around practicing magic and training ether the inexperienced trainees and magical creatures that I thought were only in fairy tales.
But feeling of amazement stopped when everyone turned and looked straight at us. Kim had to tightly grip my lanterns handle to keep from shaking. We walked until we came upon a large crevice that was so deep you couldn't see anything but a pitch black abyss. "From here we fly." Mizune said as flames erupted from her feet. I generated flames and Kim hopped on and we flow through the sky again. "If we went down we only would have wound up in the training space." Mizune said. "Training space?" I said my voice sounding like echoes. "Yes, it's a spacial rip that the grand witch created with her magic. It serves as a area for training of the highest degree. It's a place where witches can train agents each other or us test the most destructive spell they have and we wouldn't even notice. The only way to tell is you look down and see the faintest glimmer from the light of their spell bring used." I looked down and saw a faint flashes of light. "We're going to see her, aren't we?" Kim said. Her?
"Yes we are. This is something that she needs to know. Besides I thought you like to see to see her again." I could hear her tone and it was not a pleasant one. At least till she got to the last part. Kim's face had a look of surprise. "How did you?" "Please there isn't a single witch born here that doesn't know." Mizune said in a light chuckle. I had a couple of questions for what they were talking about but to me it one was important. "Um who is 'her'?" I said. "The grand witch." Kim answered. "Grand witch. The same witch that made this massive crevice in the ground?" Neither Kim or Mizune spoke practically answering my question. "It's a while since I last saw her. I really hope miss judge isn't there." Kim said and I felt her shiver with her last few words. We continued to fly and we saw a castle a actual castle this time approaching. We landed on the path that lead from the city to the castle. I changed to human form needing to stretch my legs. We walked the rest of the way and stopped in front of the large double doors. Mizune knocked on the door and a minute or two later it opened. The one who opened the door was a woman with long black hair with fox ears on top of her head sharp eyes with slit pupils. Stray marks that look like whiskers. She is wearing a white kimono with its right side black with white patterns and the left with inversed colors.
Her eyes darted straight to me and Kim. She raised her hand towards us however in a instant Mizune use the back of her wrist to raise the woman's hand up and blast of energy was launched into the air and exploded. "You won't harm them." Mizune said and I felt a little safer with that. "Still as unpleasant as last time." Kim said making me look to her in confusion. "Your judgment will come traitor." The woman said. 'Why did she call you a traitor?' I asked through the mental link Maka gave us. 'When I turned thirteen I wanted to leave and star a life of my own. When I said I was going to the DWMA this woman and others like her said I was a traitor which in a way I was. Right before I was executed the old witch came and she asked me one question. If I it was what I wanted. I told her it was and she let me go.' Kim told me. "We need to speak to the old one." Mizune said firmly. "No." The woman answered bluntly and went to shut the door when held it open by placing one hand on it. She and the woman glared at each other before Kim's teacher leaned in and whispered to the lady something we could barely make out.
"Now you wouldn't want Scarlet to hear about that heated night we had just a few months ago while you two were dating. Fuyu Kitsune Hime." Those words seem to touch a nerve. The door flung open and Mizune simple leaned back. Pointed at her throat were four white tails that seemed like spears while five more that moved back and forth behind the woman known as Fuyu. "You wouldn't dare." Fuyu growled ferociously with eyes that could kill. "Try me. Besides you own me a well after what happened fifty years ago." Mizune said apparently bringing up another thing from their apparent shared past. We saw Fuyu grit her teeth and the tails vanished leaving nothing but quickly melting snow in there place. She stepped aside and we that permission to pass. As we made our way inside I heard the woman practically slams the door behind us. I could just how pissed off she is. "This way." Fuyu mumbled.
We followed her through the castle passing portrait after portrait of beautiful woman about as tall or a bit taller then Medusa wearing tight jet black jeans with a 1/2 design on the right side of her hip while white zigzags went down the pants legs. She had a black sleeveless jacket with eye patterns on the front. Underneath she wore nothing but a black bikini top and a leather collar around her neck. She had long snow white hair with black streaks through it and fierce red eyes. On her stomach around her naval were three black rings one inside the other from largest to the smallest. I looked at the date and it said the year it was made was 1346 and as I looked on years just kept getting closer and closer to the current year. But I could tell this must be the person we've come to see but with her being a witch there is no telling just how old she could really be.
We neared the end of the hallway the doors opened on there own allowing us entrance. The next room was dark almost pitch black. It was difficult but I could make out what's in front of us. There was a chair in the middle of the room facing a lit fire place. "Kim my dear it has been a while. How are you my child?" The person in the said not turning around. "Good." Kim answered. "Is this girl your lover?" A voice spoke from behind me making me jump. I quickly turn and see someone staring right at me. The voice of a woman's but she barely taller than me. Her attire was a black cloak held together with giant safety pins. Her hat had a sharp tooth grinning white face. The gap between the hat and robe was wide enough to see a crimson right eye wide open looking dead at me. On the left side was a cloth that covered the left eye socket with 1/2 on it.
"Yes Maba. This is my girlfriend Jacqueline." Kim said introducing. Kim looked to me smiled. "Before I decided to leave this place Maba took me in when my parents died." Kim explained. "Um it's nice to meet you." I said nervously. "Likewise." Mana then she glanced to Kim and looked at her attire. "I see you've started to accepted your heritage. I can feel that your magic is much stronger than it was before." She said I could hear a bit of how proud she was. "Yes well something's happened and I made a decision. I don't regret it." She said. I feel the saw way as her. No regrets. "Madam I'd hare to interrupt but I have a important matter to discuss." Mizune said. "I know. It's about Arachne." She said. "How did you know that?" Kim asked. Maba raised a finger and pointed at the cloth with 1/2 on it. "Free may have ripped putt eye but I can still see through it as well as receive any information he hears. The only reason I haven't taken my eye back is because I have had things to do." Maba said before vanishing and repairing in the chair. "Well then I will just get to our request. Will you help us stop her?" Mizune asked. "Only if I judge it necessary." Maba said and in a instant we found ourselves outside the city.
