I am not normal,

I never was.

My gifts are born of choice, and through that, I am unlike any other.

I choose to be more...

I choose to be great...

I choose to fight back, where so many others do not...

I am Cypress...

And I will rise above all that the two worlds have to offer...

Even if it really, really didn't start that way.

One year before canon

"Please be what I need... please be what I need." Cypress groaned, flipping through the book in his hands. It was an older tome, bound in leather and filled with words that he needed. He was pretty excited to see it, to find the words within. Obsessed with fantasy, he had been scouring the world for any and all sources of knowledge about fantasy, gods and so on. He could not wait to read this new book, to see what it could contain. "An ode to Hecate ,... and a spell to conjure her, I could so use this in a book!"

Pumped he sat down on his desk chair and uttered the spell, cast in Latin.

"Surgite, dea, spirate!" He smiled. "Simple but powerful... holy hell... ugh..." A cold wind rushed through the air and he swayed as the very heat and life drained from him. His vision turned grey.

Then everything returned and he saw a woman standing before him, stunning and shimmering. She was fuzzy, hard to see, but three faces were visible.

" You call and I answer... but can you bear the cost?"

And with that she faded away, her ethereal form and voice, that too of three women...

"Hecate... holy hell magic is real and I just..." Shaking, he turned to his book and grabbed it, wondering just what the hell he was going to do with the knowledge he was now presented with... and if it was tied to the exorcists... "Should I practice... why not... it is not as if I will harm anyone..." Grabbing the book, he lifted to his gaze, decision made before he could even really give it any thoughts...

He would become a witch.. and that really was all there was to it.


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a joy to write. This is an attempt to get me to watch the series more, specifically get past my hatred of Yukio...

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
