Hey everyone, Poke'boy24 back with the next chapter of 'Struggle of a Witch' where the Story really starts to kick off.
Remember that I DON'T own any Elements of Owl House, Troop, Adventure Time, Yugioh, or any other Series as I also DON'T own any of the Songs that may appear in this Story.
The only thing I do own are my OCs Weslyn, Tantula, and Blasko so now let get cracking!
/ / / / /
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! ! EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT! !" a young Boy's voice yelled in anger before pushing someone hard against the wall of a Basement.
"B-But Bro-"
SMACK! !
A Girl's voice whimpered before getting smack in the face knocking her onto the floor.
"SHUT UP! !" the Boy yelled hatefully before kicking her causing the Girl to cry out from how hard the kick felt. "You are nothing but a Screw-up! It's your fault we got kicked out of another School! It's your fault other Kids don't like us! IT'S YOUR FAULT DAD LEFT! ! !" the Boy yelled as he continued kicking her as he continued to blame her for everything.
As the poor Girl continued to get beat by her own Brother as well hearing him yell at her with harsh insults caused her body to glow and change.
"Mother was right, you are nothing but a Mistake, a Disappointment, a Failure as well as an Embarrassment to our Family!" the Boy growled kicking her again as she cried while 'blood' leaked from her mouth and nose before the Boy began to walk away while Kai was standing in the doorway glaring hatefully at her 'Daughter' with her arms crossed.
"Come on Son, let leave this Abomination to think about what she did." Kai said with venom in her voice glaring at her 'Daughter' in disgust while taking her 'perfect' Son away before closing and locking the door leaving the poor Girl in the dark cold Basement as she cried herself to sleep while her small body racked with so much pain.
/ / /Chapter 2: I'm in the Realm of WHAT!? Part 1/ / /
"WHOOOAAAAAAA! ! !" Weslyn exclaimed waking up in a cold sweat with tears leaking from her eyes as she took calming breath as she had that memory again while feeling the phantom pains of past beatings.
It was a year after she discovered her Magical abilities as well as when her 'Brother' denounced her as his Sister after getting them kicked out of multiple Private/Prep Schools as well making them social outcasts.
"Grrooaaa… that Bastard was always her favorite…" Weslyn groaned bitterly as she started rubbing her head as she had always felt envious of her Brother since he gets all the praise while she just get all the blame since he began treating her more like a Scapegoat than an actual Sister.
Taking a moment to look around she noticed that she was no longer in the Library, but instead was in a Forest as she looked up to see her Bag as well the Tome stuck up a tree.
"Well that's just great." She groaned as she began climbing up the tree since she can't use her Wind Magic or Levitation as she still has no control and she doesn't want the risk them getting destroyed since those are the only things she has right now.
/ / /In another part of the Forest/ / /
"Come on Frisk, how long is this going to take?" a Woman's voice questioned while waiting for Frisk to finish up already.
"{Hold your Ostrich-horse Tantula, these Torikes could charge if they feel threaten.}" A Man's voice said as the Woman looked her eyes.
Tantula was a Woman standing 6ft4inches in height with a long mane of Black and Aquamarine color hair tied in a braided ponytail which is draped over her right shoulder and Yellow-Green eyes as she was wearing Violet colored Lipstick and Eye-shadow with darker Violet markings around her eyes along with some unknown markings on her face that could be mistaken for wrinkles. Now her body was completely different story as she has Gray skin as well a lean muscular built with and hourglass figure consisting of Pumpkin-sized I-cup breasts, slim waist with a toned stomach with a clear definition of abs, and wide hips connected to long muscularly toned legs but the real kicker was that she has FOUR ARMS, the upper pair crossed under her extremely large bust while the lower pair were holding two items. Her outfit consists of a Orange Sleeveless Qipao-style dress with the bottom torn showing a lot of her left leg while what remains of the skirt stopping at her right knee, a Brown Adventure Satchel around her waist, Violet Leggings with Green circular stripes around the thighs and calves that hug her toned strong legs like a second skin, and Brown Combat Heeled-boots.
The items she was holding in her second pair of hands were a wooden Mahogany colored Staff with a Spider on the end and a Blue Bird with multiple dots on its chest and belly while its beak was opened.
"I know that but if I have known it would that so long I could have had Blasko working the Stand today." Tantula stated since this Job was taking so long as she also had a business to run.
"{Yeah but with the Migration Season, the Beast-keeping Coven wanted to make sure that these Torikes aren't disturbed on their way to their destination.}" Frisk's voice said coming from the Bird's beak. "{Also it's the last job you'll have to do since you've finally paid off your debt to us from last year's 'incidents' remember.}" He added stressing the last part causing the Amazon Woman to groan.
/ / /
"{For the last time, how was I supposed to know that those Monsters I've beaten were in your guys care since you didn't report them missing.}" Tantula growled talking over the other end seeing as every Quest she took the past year the money from them had to go towards not only the Ranger's Station, but also to pay off the property damage that happened during said incident. "{How long is this going to take anyway?}" she questioned as this will be the last job she had to do to finally pay off that debt.
"Not long now since I'm coming in towards the last group right now." Frisk said as he landed on a tree branch as quietly.
Frisk is a Humanoid Dragonfly Demon 4ft8inches in height with large Yellow compound eyes, a Red and White Exoskeleton, and dressed in a Rangers Uniform which was Green and Tan in color with an Orange symbol of an Egg with a Creature hatching out sitting in a nest stitched onto the shoulders of the Shirt.
"Okay Torikes, I'm not here so let get to counting." Frisk whispered to himself as he looked over a group of creatures.
The Creatures were Green bipedal Ceratopsian-like with big Yellow eyes with Red pupils. They have a bony shield-like head with three horns, one on the forehead facing forward and two on the back of the head, and huge four digit hand-like paws with some hard using to hold their food or battling each other.
These Creatures are Torikes, C-Ranked Monsters which are very protective and aggressive at the same time which is why the Beast-keeping Coven wanted a record number of Torikes that are migrating this year for People safety.
"Okay Torike herd #13, consisting of 8 Bulls, 12 Females, and 6 Juveniles." Frisk muttered writing down the numbers as the Bulls, Darker in color as well the size of a Yak, were on the outside circle keeping an eye out for Predators while the Females, a bit smaller in size as well shorter horns, were glazing on the plants along with the Juveniles, ranging from the size of a Sheep to a Wagon depending on age, were next to their Mothers as he finished recording and was about to fly off.
"Snooorrrrooaaaarrr! Snooorrrooooaaaarrr! !"
Turning to look back at the herd, the Dragonfly Demon noticed that one of the Females was snorting/roaring as well as moving around panicky as if something was wrong.
"Oh no." Frisk said recognizing the signs of this kind of behavior as he grabbed the Bird-Walkie. "Tantula we got a problem, a Juvenile is missing." He whispery said as there was a Torike youngling missing from the group.
/ / /
Finally reaching the branch with her stuff on it, Weslyn carefully walked over trying not to lose her balance. "Okay, now first the Book." She said reaching the Tome before placing it within her Bag and zipping it up nice and tight. "That's one thing done, but how to get down from here?" the Tan skinned Girl questioned wondering how to get down.
Creeeeeeaaaaaaak~
"Oh man…" Weslyn muttered hearing a creaking and having a good idea of where it came from.
SNAAAAAPP! ! !
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" the little Girl screamed as the branch snapped as she began falling towards the ground hitting any other branch in her way.
CRASH!
CRACK!
THUD!
CRASH!
RIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPP~
"OOOWWW! ! !" Weslyn cried as she hit the ground, luckily her Duffel Bag broke her fall, before grabbing her head in pain and dizziness while spitting leaves out of her mouth before feeling a draft causing her to look down before blushing looking up to see the bottom half of her outfit torn up on a tree branch as well as her underwear. "Oh man, this is the twelfth time I've been wedgied by a tree!" she exclaimed with her face burning with embarrassment trying to cover herself before opening her bag back up.
Quickly taking off her ruined outfit, the young Magic user hurriedly put on another pair of underwear along with her Ducky T-shirt and Overalls before releasing calming breaths. 'Woooo~ Grad nobody was around 'cause I would die from embarrassment if anybody saw me.' she mentally sighed blushing since years of being picked on for her size made her feel very self-conscious since she looked more like a talking lap puppet from the olden days due to her being physically challenged.
Rustle~
"Snoooaaak"
Hearing the sound of leaves rustling as well a small snorting sound caught the Tan-skinned Girls attention as she turned around seeing a small creature coming out before her eyes widen with anime-sparkles as a blush appeared on her face.
"Oh my Lizard-man you are so CUTE!~" Weslyn squealed running to pick up the creature into a tight hug as she started nuzzling her cheek against its face.
The creature in her arms was a Green Lizard-like creature the size of a pillow with a roundish dome-shaped head with three cute little nubs on his head, one on the forehead, two on the back, and cute little hand-like front paws.
"Who's a cute little guy~ You are, yes you are~" the Human Girl said nuzzling her forehead against his since she used to sketch baby/chibi Monsters from her Novels to keep her company whenever her Mother left her locked in the Basement which became her Bedroom as her now Ex-Family wanted to keep her out of sight as well out of mind.
"Snoooaaak" the Baby Monster snort in discomfort as she was hugging him pretty tight.
"Sorry about that little fella, it's just… I always wanted to hug a Baby Monster from one of my Novels and this is just a dream come true!" Weslyn cheered happily seeing as she thought all those Legends about Creatures like Griffins and Hydras were more than just legends and now here's real adorable proof right in her arms before putting him down while bringing a hand to her face in a thinking manner. "Okay, first you'll need a name little guy." She said looking him over while thinking of a good name for him.
'Domer, no that's a little insulting. Box-Box, no that no good either.' The young 7year old, soon to be 8, thought trying to come up with a good enough name as she continue studying his features hoping something will click.
Looking back down she felt the little Monster nudging against her leg with his head before watching him nudging her bag moving it with ease before snapping her finger as a name finally popped into her brain. "Plow, that's the perfect name for you since I can hardy even move that bag as easily as you can." She said since she always had to be careful wearing the Duffel-bag on her back as she fell over a couple time since she got it.
"Snoooaaak" Plow gave a snort liking the new name as he continued pushing the bag with his head before wondering around looking for something. "Snoak! Snoak! Snoak!" he called out in alarm getting the Human Girl to wonder what's wrong.
"Hey Plow, what's wrong?" Weslyn asked before the Monster Baby ran off calling/snorting. "Plow wait up!" she exclaimed strapping the bag to her back as she, with some difficulty, chased after her possibly new friend that for once wasn't imaginary or drawn.
Leaving the area, she never realized the wind blowing through the trees where her ruined outfit was still hanging as the wind carried her scent as a massive pair of glowing Red eyes caught the scent of its next meal.
/ / /
"Just when I thought this job couldn't get more time consuming, this happens." Tantula stated annoyed as she flown on her Staff, the legs of the Spider stretched all the way outward with the four eyes were glowing, as she steered through the thick Forest.
"Remember Torikes have a Herd Mentality, so if one gets worried for her offspring the others get worried as well." Frisk explained as he was flying next to her as the Herd below them was moving around making calls. "It also depends on how young this missing Torike is since all the Juveniles are between the ages of 3-5 years since they're already glowing their horns out." He added since the younger Torikes of the Herd nearly look like the Adults with the only differences being smaller in size and shorter horn length.
"Well then we better hurry since there are many Monsters in this Forest that will prey on any Younglings vulnerable without a form of defense or protection." The Black/Bluette hair Witch followed having dealing with many of this Forest's inhabitants while searching for ingredients for her homemade Potions and Elixirs.
"I hope we find that Youngling before any of them finds a meal." The Dragonfly Demon prayed since the Beast-keeping Coven wants all the Rangers to make sure that the Nature Population stay in balance as well protected along with keeping the People of the Village safe.
/ / /
"Snoooaaak!~ Snoooaaak!~" Plow continued running and calling out for his Herd while Weslyn was struggling to keep up and it wasn't just the weight she was carrying.
"Plow! Huff huff… Wait up! huff huff… Or at least… slow down…" Weslyn called before tripping as she was sweating and breathing heavily before groaning as she pushed herself back up to her feet. "Why… did… none… of… those Schools… have playgrounds…" she grunted/groaned as her knees were starting to give out as her body was ready to give out.
"SNOOOAAAK! ! !"
"Clickclickclick-ooooooaaaaaaaaa! ! !"
Hearing Plow hollering followed by another sound she doesn't know, Weslyn looked onward to she the little Monster she met charging towards her in fear before knocking her over while still running.
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
"Click-oooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa! ! !"
Looking over towards the direction Plow ran from, all color drained from Weslyn's face as she saw a massive 10ft tall Bipedal Mantis with a Brownish-Yellow and Purple exoskeleton, huge glowing Red eyes the size as Beach-balls, and shape sickle/scythe-like claws at the end of its raptorial arms before eyeing the scared little Girl while making clicking sounds from its drooling maw.
Seeing the enormous Insect Monster eyeing her like that, Weslyn only had one thought rushing through her head. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" she screamed before running off in the same direction Plow ran off at.
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !" the Mantis Monster screeched as it chased after its prey causing the ground to shake a little.
"WHAT KIND OF NIGHTMARE DID I WAKE UP IN?! ?! ?! ?! ?!" Weslyn cried out as she caught up to Plow as both Human and Baby Monster ran for their lives from the hungry Mantis.
Running through the Forest as fast as their little legs could carry them, Weslyn and Plow tried to lose the Giant Insect by rushing through some narrowed trees only for the giant predator to slash them down with its claws. The chase went on as but Human and Monster child ran around the Forest making sharp turns, sliding under fallen logs, and leaped around rocks hoping to lose the Massive Monster chasing them until they were cornered by a Cliffside.
"Oh man oh man oh man!" Weslyn said panicky with her back against the cliff as fear filled her small body as the Forest Predator stalked towards them clicking its jaws hungrily. "S-S-Stay b-b-back!" she shakily called while Plow cowered next to her leg not knowing that her trembling body was starting to glow as her Magic was reacting to her fear.
"Click-oooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! !" the Mantis Monster clicked as it stalked closer and closer as it readied its raptorial arms to grab them.
"I-I-I-I s-s-said S-S-STAY BACK! ! !" Weslyn fearfully screamed, her entire body glowing with Magenta colored energy, as she pushed her hand forward blasting a huge ball of Fire-Magic directly into the Mantis's face causing it to screech in pain as it fell onto its back as the little Girl's body returned to normal. "Come on Plow, let start making tracks while that thing is on its back!" she stated unintentionally rhyming as she was starting to get very stressed as the two of them quickly ran to put some distant between them and the Predator.
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! ! ! !" the Mantis Monster screech shaking the fire off it showing that its exoskeleton body was badly burnt as got up to its feet and chased after its prey now completely pissed.
What none of them realized that the fire Weslyn blasted hit several of the trees and bushes quickly causing a Forest-fire which soon began spending rapidly!
/ / /
"SNNNOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR! ! !" the Mother Torike called out charging through the Forest on the search for her child with the rest of the Herd following.
"Sounds like the Mother is very worried, I hope nothing terrible happened." Frisk said seeing the Mother becoming restless as the other Creatures living in this Forest quickly got out of the way of the stampeding herd.
"If something did happen I hope you don't try to charge me for attacking a rampaging Monster, again." Tantula said half-jokingly half-serious while cracking her knuckles since this was supposed to be an easy Recording Job so she was looking forward to releasing some frustration out on some Monsters when the time comes.
Crackle!~ CRACK!
Suddenly the Ranger and Witch's thoughts were interrupted as some burning trees fell down around the Herd as they were snorting/roaring at being blocked.
"I thought there weren't any Fire-Classed Monsters living in this Forest!?" the Witch questioned while channeling Magic to her hands before tracing two Aquamarine Spell Circles before they grew in size and started dividing until they surrounded the fire before blasting Icy-Blue Vapor which not only extinguished the flames, but also soaked the Torikes before they shook their bodies and started taking off again.
"There shouldn't be since these flame look and seem more Magic base than natural, but I think we got bigger problems to worry about!" Frisk exclaimed pointing behind Tantula getting the Gray-skinned Witch to look over to see more trees on fire as well Monsters native to this Forest running/flying away from the flames. "Okay you keep looking for the missing Torike youngling while I call for backup to deal with these flames." He stated as both of them split up to do their respected tasks.
"Seriously, what kind of reckless idiot starts a Forest Fire! When I find the idiot, I'm going to give them a serious piece of my mind!" Tantula ranted as this was not a good day for her as she sped through the trees thinking that she might find the source along with the missing Torike.
/ / /
""AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! !/SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !"" Weslyn and Plow continued screaming as they kept running from the semi-burnt Mantis Monster as they were barely avoiding its raptorial arms trying to grab them as well as the really sharp claws at the end.
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !" the massive Insect screeched as it eyes were glowing from both hunger AND rage as it tried catching its prey.
"Plow, get ready to hang on since I have an idea that just might work!" the Human Girl exclaimed grabbing the little Monster into her arm as an idea came to her. Looking upward towards the trees, she began trying to concentrate as her eyes glowed causing a veil of Magic to surround her before launching upward barely avoiding another swipe of the Monster's claws as they were rocketing upward…
THUD!
CRASH!
CRACK!
BANG!
CRASH!
THUD!
"OOOOWWWW! ! !"
…only for the uneducated Magic user to hit her head on a branch losing concentration causing them to fall back down hitting several more branches, using her body to protect Plow from the impacts, as both of them were now on another branch which luckily enough was out of the Predator's reach.
Rubbing her aching head as little stars circled around, Weslyn waited for the pain to subside before looking down to see the Monster stomping around angrily. "HA! Look like Mant-ISN'T going to be eating anytime soon!" she laughed mocking the Mantis thinking her quip was good only to get a deadpanned look and headshake from Plow causing her to look down sadly. "You try coming up with a joke after nearly being Mantis chow." She muttered dishearten with an embarrassed blush dusting her cheeks since she still haven't gotten levitating down yet since she can still only levitate herself a couple inches off the ground but also still need to control the power of her launch which is extremely tricky.
Slaaaaash-CHOP! !
Slaaaaash-CHOP! !
Hearing the sound of something hitting wood as well feeling the tree shaking, both Human and Monster looked downward to see the Mantis Monster swiping/chopping at the trunk causing both children to widen their eyes while color drained from their faces.
"Oh man…(Slaaaaash-CHOP! !) I forgot… (Slaaaaah-CHOP! !) about… (Slaaaaash-CHOP! !) the claws… (Slaaaaash-CHOP! !)" Weslyn said fearfully as the larger Monster kept on hacking and slashing until the tree began falling over.
""AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! !/SNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !"" both her and Plow screamed as the tree was quickly falling towards the ground as they held onto each other tightly as the Girl's fearful eyes glowed causing an Magic Sphere to quickly surround them as they hit the ground and started rocketing through the Forest hitting Trees, Rocks, and other Creatures.
"I… Really… Hate… This… Hamsterball! ! !" Weslyn frustratingly screamed with the little Monster in her arms snorting/screaming as they were being shook around a lot before the sphere suddenly disappeared as they impacted against a boulder. "OWWW! !" the girl cried falling upside down while Plow's eyes were replaced with Anime-style spinning swirls showcasing his extreme dizziness.
THUD! ! !
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! ! ! !"
Sadly things remain terrible as the Mantis Monster stomped down in front of them as it was ready to feast upon its prey.
"This is it Plow, it was nice meeting you!" the Tan-skinned girl cried hugging the little Green creature as she was now going to die along with her new friend that she literally just met a few hours ago!
"SNNNOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA! ! !" Plow cried out as well as the giant predator stalked towards them.
"SNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR! ! !"
It was then with that loud call that the ground began to tremble as a full grown version of Plow charged from the brush ramming into the Insect's leg causing it to lose balance before the rest of the Herd came charging in as well.
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !"
The Mantis Monster screeched as it got back up to its feet before it launched its raptorial clawed arms only for two members of the herd to grab hold while others rammed into it head-on knocking it back down.
"""""SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! ! ! ! !""""" some of the Adults along with Plow's Parents snorted/snarled at the large predator shaking their heads as they were getting ready to charge again.
Seeing that it was outnumbered as well exhausted from chasing the two children, the Insect Creature hissed getting back up and ran back into the Forest's underbrush.
"Snooooaaaaakkk! ! !" Plow called as he broke out of Weslyn's hold as he ran towards his Mother who began rubbing her head against his as she was happy her baby was safe while the little girl watched the touching moment.
'They… they actually came for him…' she thought as she was having conflicted feelings, on one hand she was feeling happy that her new friend was reunited with his family but she was also feeling very hurt as she doesn't understand this kind of feeling since whenever she is in trouble while calling for help from the School bullies, her Brother, other Students, and Teachers just completely ignore her as she was getting beaten before getting shoved into a locker or trash-bin.
"SNNNOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR! ! !" the Leader of the herd called telling them all it was time to get a move on.
"Bye Plow, it was nice meeting you!" Weslyn called slowing waving a hand as she saw the first friend she ever made left along with his Family leaving her alone again before grabbing her bag.
"And where do you think you're going young lady!" a Woman's voice angrily yelled causing the little girl to scream out startled as she began falling over before turning around to see a tall intimidating Woman with Grey skin and four arms crossed glaring down at her with an irritated look on her face.
Seeing that look made Weslyn's entire body tremble in fear since that was the same look her former Mother would take before beating her. "Wessy sorry Mother! Wessy promise to do better!" she cried out flinching with tears in her eyes bracing herself for the harsh beating she always receive whenever she does or doesn't do what Kai wanted or doesn't approve of.
Hearing the small Girl's reaction was something Tantula didn't expect but rolled her eyes annoyed as she took a closer look at the child. 'Great, another Human.' She mentally groaned since Humans have been arriving to this Realm for Centuries and not very few survive for more than a couple of hours due to all kinds of Monsters living here.
"{Tantula come in, Tantula come in.}" the Bird-Walkie in her Satchel as the Witch took it out and answered the incoming call. "Yeah Frisk, I read you loud and clear." She said talking towards Frisk who was on the other end. "{We manage to stop the fire but a couple of Rangers were injured as my hunch was right about it being Magical-based. So how are things on your end? Manage to find that missing Torike?}" the Dragonfly Demon asked after letting her know that their Forest Fire had been dealt with.
"Yeah the Baby had been reunited with his Herd and I found something else that clearly doesn't belong here." Tantula said placing her lower hands on her hips as she stare down the Human Girl who was still whimpering.
"{Okay, I'll see you back at the Station.}" Frisk said ending the call as she put the Bird-Walkie away.
"Okay kid, let take you back to where you came from." The four-armed Sorceress said before tracing a small Spell-circle getting Weslyn to widen her eyes as she was suddenly bind by Magical Webbing.
"H-How did you do that!?" Weslyn asked shocked before widening her eyes as she realized something. "A-A-Are you a-a real WITCH?!" she exclaimed with sparkles in her eyes and hope in her voice as she may have finally found a Teacher!
"To make this quick, yes." Tantula answered before lifting the small child up. "The name's Tantula, Tantula Blaksilk and I am going to have a serious talk with your Parents. Do you know how dangerous this Forest is, I mean seriously, who in the simplest form of Magic raised you?" she sternly stated causing Weslyn to look down while tears formed in her eyes again. "I mean who would be stupid enough to let their own Child run off unsupervised with loads of dangerous Monsters prowling around!" she ranted while also saying about how there were a lot of dangers in this Forest besides the Creatures like Carnivorous Plants, Aggressive Monsters, and now a reckless idiot who caused a Fire.
Hearing about the Fire caused the young Magic user to widen her eyes knowing full well that she was the cause of it as the Witch holding continued ranting and ranting about how irresponsible, reckless, dangerous, and idiotic the person who started that fire was made her feel worst and worst as time passed by.
"I'M SORRY! ! !" Weslyn cried out as she started sobbing causing the Witch to stop her ranting. "I'm sorry for creating that Fire okay. I-I didn't mean to since it was an accident." She said as she didn't know she started another fire since she was too busy trying not to get eaten.
"Don't be ridiculous, you're a Human and everyone knows Humans can't do Magic." Tantula flatly said as she doesn't have time for this nonsense.
"W-W-Well I can, a-a-and I've been looking for someone to help teach me how to control my abilities since I'm…" Weslyn started before muttering under her breath with an embarrassed blush on her face.
"Sorry, what was that?" the older Magic user questioned uncovering her pointed ears since she couldn't hear that last part.
"I'm a…. omp… rew…" the Black hair Girl muttered louder as she ready didn't want to admit this out loud if the reddening of her cheeks were anything to go by.
"Still didn't hear, speak up Kid." Tantula said as she doesn't have time for this since she has things to do.
"I'M A COMPLETE SCREW-UP OKAY! ! !" Weslyn cried out with her face very Red with shame and embarrassment while her body radiated a spark of her Magic slipping her bindings which completely caught the much more experienced Magic user by surprise. "I-I was disowned by my Birth Mother because she labeled me as an Abomination ever since I first discovered that I could do this." She explained before focusing as she created several Light spheres in her hands before they suddenly flickered out. "For nearly the past 4 years I've tried practicing on my own other for things to go terribly wrong." She explained rubbing her arms while tears leaked down her face as she recalled all the disasters she caused, the Cities she destroyed, and the Lives that she had ruined due to her complete lack of control. "My whole life I've never really fit in back home, every single day I would wake up in the Basement wishing that things would be better only to cry myself to sleep as things just gotten worst and worst. I have no friends, no family, nothing but the clothes on my back and the stuff in my bag because all everyone ever see me as a Failure, Freak, Weirdo, Loser, Screw-up, Disappointment, and even other Names in their Home Language. And I don't even understand any of them! ! !" she exclaimed as she was letting some of the emotions she had kept inside out since many of the Alien Students and Teachers called her different names countless times.
Tantula was left speechless but felt that she should at least listen since the Human Child was clearly emotional right now as she placed the child down onto her feet.
Wiping the tears out of her eyes, Weslyn continued releasing her emotional baggage. "Do you what it feels like to have everyone around you comparing you to your Sibling or Parent like they were expecting a lot out of you, things that you can never accomplish or handle since they expect you to be just like them and it's a lot of pressure! I mean look at me! I'm nearly 8 years old and I'm hardly 4ft tall!" she exclaimed motioning to her physically challenged body before continuing. "I'm not Smart, I'm not Cool, I'm not really anything like my family yet people are always judging me as none of them ever sees me as my own person. I mean it's MY life so shouldn't I at least have a chance to make my own decisions because I've tried everything they've expected from me as best as I can but apparently my best just wasn't good enough for them!" she ranted since everyone made her feel less like a person and more like a product that didn't turn out the way it was supposed to!
Before she could continue letting all the feelings she kept bottled up, an all familiar sound caused her eyes to widen as her body shook with fear.
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !"
Hearing the sound both of them turned around to see the Mantis Monster stalk out of the underbrush as Tantula readied her staff while Weslyn fearfully hid behind the Aquamarine/Black haired Woman's legs.
"Oh man, not this guy again!" the Human Girl exclaimed cowering behind the Grey skinned Woman as she was very scare right now.
"Just stay behind me kid, Kamakiriman are fast and agile predators with very tough exoskeleton that not even Metal can pierce it." Tantula explain as she dealt with this Monster Species several times in the past.
"CLICK-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ! !"
With a loud clicking-screech, the Kamakiriman charged towards the duo as it was finally going to feast.
Seeing the charging Monster, the experience Witch focused her Magic as the eyes of her Spider end of her Staff glowed as she began twirling it a couple times before slamming the bottom end against the ground sending a strong pulse of Magic which caused the ground to shake before several massive spiked made of dense Rock burst out of the ground surrounding the two in a protective circle.
"Kid, you might want to hold on tight!" Tantula stated firmly before grabbing the Girl as the legs of the Spider extended outward as they flew off out of the circle just before the Mantis Monster leaped over the wall of spikes.
"WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Weslyn screamed out in fear as she was placed in front of the Amazon Sorceress holding onto the Staff for dear life.
"Welcome to the Monster Realm Kid!" Tantula exclaimed as they flew off towards the Ranger's Station all the while the Kamakiriman screeched as they got away from it.
