The Wolf Witch's Minion. Their duty is to be her prey. Above all else the Wolf Witch hates lies, and the essence of liar takes the form of a white rabbit forever wanders in her barrier, being torn to shred over and over again to sooth her anger.

She opens her eyes once again and prepare to greet the white hospital ceiling for the hundreds time... She lets out a soft sigh. Another cycle, another failure. It seems as it continues, it becomes harder and harder to save her friend, even when she has outside help...
Sometimes she wonders how many more times can she continues on, before she inevitably fall into despair and join all the other magical girls in their tragic fate. She quickly puts that thought into the back corner of her mind, thoughts like that is an one way ticket to despair, a fate worse than death for all magical girls.
Then she realizes something: What comes into her sight is not the usual white ceiling of the hospital, but a brilliant night sky filled with stars. She quickly start to look around her surrounding, and finds she's lying face up in some construction site. Then she realizes something else: She's wearing her Mitakihara Middle School uniform instead of her patient gown, and she can see things clearly despite not wearing her glasses...
She sits up and reaches behind her head, feeling her loose raven hair instead of her twin braid, and the lack of a familiar pain in her chest.
That's when she starts to panic. Funny how after you have gone through a routine for over a hundred times and then you are shoved into a new setting you loses all your composure.
Ok, calm down Homura, this is not the first time you enter into an alternate timeline that throws you curve ball. Maybe in this timeline, I was already a magical girl and this is just after one of my routine patrol...
Homura Akemi, the stoic time travelling magical girl musters all her willpower to shakes her free from a complete mental break down. She takes a deep breath before she transforms into her magical girl form and jumps up to the tallest part of the construction site, trying to find some familiar landmark to confirm her suspension.
To her dismay, she finds herself in a completely unfamiliar setting. Instead of the futuristic skyscrapers of Mitakihara, she mostly sees one to two floor houses and a few apartment. In the distance, she can see some cluster of taller building with bright neon signs, but the style look much older with concrete, rather than glasses and metal making up the majority of the building.
And here comes mental break down number two...
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Nobita's face hit the surface of his desk. It feels cold to the his cheeks, but he doesn't care. All of sudden he seems to have trouble breathing with excruciating pain, as if someone brings down a sledgehammer to his chest.
He is just doing what he does the most to pass his evening time: Immersing himself into the 'wonderful' world of number and equations when he has a panic attack. He can't figure out why this outburst of stress suddenly overwhelms him. Can it be the nightmare he has this afternoon, the one where he sees Jaiko/Shizuka killed by the Origami Witch, which he manages to shove into the back of his mind finally decide to resurface?
The dream is mostly a blur in his mind at this point. Nobita is at the point where he can't even tell if the girl he sees in his dream is Jaiko or Shizuka. All he can recall is their image seems to fade in and out as they are engulfed by the brilliant light beam shot out by the Origami Witch.
Regardless of the reason, he needs to find something else to do before his mind dissolves into a complete breakdown. He throws on his scarf and grabs his jacket as he runs down the stairs of his home to go for a short jog around the neighborhood.
"Didn't you already taken Peko and Ichi for a walk, Nobita?" His mother's voice calls out from living room, masking out the TV show his parents are watching now.
"I feels like taking a short jog Mama, don't worry, I'll be home in an hour or so." Nobita says as he quickly runs pass the door and kick on his shoes.
"Alright Nobita, just avoid the bad neighborhood and don't get into trouble..." His mother's voice start to disappear as Nobita burst through the front door and shut it behind of him. The air is still cold this time of the year, but it helps him breath amidst his panic induced mind. He tries to keep his mind clear without much thought as he picks up speed and round another corner.
Around said corner, he realizes something else he often overlook when he jogs around this area. Another place from his old memory that places a huge part: A corner store that sells Dorayaki. The shop is boarded up, indicating it is already closed down.
Come to think of it... Hideo mentioned something about the old lady that runs this store has passed away this winter. Such a pity... I used to come here and buy her Dorayaki all the time...
Wait a minute... why did I come here and buy her Dorayaki in the first place? It's not something I enjoy to the point I can't live without it for a month. In my dream, I come here to purchase it for Doraemon, but he doesn't exist in this real world. Is it another part where my dream starts to bleed into my real memory, or did I forget something very important...
Ah... all those scattered thoughts... I am so confused!
Nobita feels light headed all of sudden, so he leans against a wall and closes his eyes to rest a little. That's when he feels something is nudging against his foot. "Kyu?"
At first, he thinks it might be Kyubey coming back to invade his privacy again. But the sound certainly didn't sounds like the articulating and emotionless white fur ball. He opens his eyes to look down, and sees what appears to be a cartoonish white rabbit rubbing its face at his leg. Interestingly, the rabbit also has red beady eyes and a persistent smile just like Kyubey. "Kyu!"
The white rabbit with Kyubey's head seems confused for a second as it tilt it's head. It then runs away towards a construction site in the distance. Before Nobita gets a clear understanding of what happened he sees a shadow fly over himself. Looking up, the glasses wearing boy sees a figure gliding through the air with the gracefulness of an accomplished ballerina. Even if he didn't catch a particularly good look, Nobita can still tell it is a magical girl from her skirt flapping in the wind.
Well... unless Magical Boys also wear a dress, consider the only Magical Boy Nobita sees at this point is that Tuxedo Mask wannabe.
Is it Jaiko? Or some other Magical Girl he hasn't meet yet. Nobita supposes it doesn't matter. She is heading towards that construction site the white Kyubey rabbit is running towards. It looks ominous in darkness, like an abandoned castle with monsters lurking in every shadow. But Nobita feels an urge to push him on forward and go after the Magical Girl.
This is such a dumb decision... Once again I'm chasing after a Magical Girl into Kami knows what without even a baseball bat to defend myself. My ten years old self would have run towards the opposite direction with his tail between his legs at this point... but here's hoping a spooky looking construction site doesn't qualify as 'bad neighborhood' or my mother will nag my ears off again...
Nobita's thought comes to a close as he reaches the foot of his destination, and he realizes it is less of a construction site and more of an abandoned building that's half finished. The majority of the building seems to be finished, despite still being covered with plastic sheets. If this abandoned building looks creepy in the distance... let's just say it doesn't improve in the slightest now Nobita is near the foot. He swallows a mouthful of saliva hard, and goes down into a half crouch hoping to blend into the shadow and not gets noticed by whatever that could be hiding near the next corner and goes inside the building.
The inside of the building is exactly like how Nobita imagines, white concrete wall still not furnished with wall paper or paint. His breath gets heavier, as this detour from his usual jogging route has essentially turns into a summer bravery contest. Nobita starts to search around the first floor... and moves to the second when he fails to find anything notable.
It takes about another quarter of an hour when Nobita moves to third floor before he suddenly feels the air around him seems to feel dense, and colder too. He looks up, and almost forget to breath as his chest quickly tightens. Hanging from the roof, hundreds of bodies both old and young is hanging there lifeless.
Even if Nobita only hears about them between the gossip of the nosier kids in the school, he can still tell this is a suicide hot spot. "Well, well, well... what do we have here? Another lost soul, here to join my flock in their eternal salvation?"
The female voice sounds almost sultry, but it makes all the hair on Nobita's body jumps on their end. As for Nobita himself... he falls to his hands and feet as his knees give in. He quickly turns around on his ass, and sees a girl standing below him on the staircase between 3rd and 2nd floor. Nobita doesn't know when or even how she sneaks behind him, consider he searched all the floors below. The girl wears a set of black dress with white frill and grey marking, and a hood with matching color scheme that almost makes her look like a nun.
"Are you afraid of me, you poor thing? Don't be afraid, for very soon you will be saved from this cruel world..." Nobita quickly backs away with his hands and feet as the (presumably) unknown Magical Girl starts to walk towards him. Nobita isn't exactly what one can call a real life Magical Girl expert, consider he just learns of their existence yesterday, but even he can tell there's something very wrong with this (presumably) Magical Girl.
She looks more like some character you will find in the rogues gallery of a Magical Girl show, rather than an actual embodiment of hope and dream for younger girls and lolicons everywhere. And her voice... while her voice has an inviting vibe, sounds more like some kind of drug that makes Nobita feel numb.
Shit, shit, shit... SHIT! Following an unknown Magical Girl really is as bad an idea as I first thought. I got to run away fast! Got to pull a Dekisugi and jump off the building!
Nobita swallows hard again, as he scrambles to his feet and starts to run towards one of the window on the other side. He doesn't know what he'll do once he jumps off third floor, but something tells him even falling to his death is a more preferable compare to the alternative.
"What is the same thing Kami-Sama grant to all of us? Both rich and poor, young and old, beautiful and ugly? It is death, and through death all of us will be set free from our pain."
Nobita suddenly feels something tightens around his neck as he's being dragged flying backwards and crash onto the concrete floor. For a second he wonder if the force alone has snapped his neck. The excruciating pain from his back kicks in that makes him realize he is still alive. Although this seems like a temporary state if the way this mad Magical Girl talk is a good indication.
"We are all bound by pain as we live in this ugly world. I can see the same kind of pain deep within your eyes... Let me share it, and then grant you the salvation to be free from pain." The unknown Magical Girl slowly drags his body across the floor towards her with the rope lasso. Nobita's eye widens as he sees the girl extend out her left hand.
The center of the girl's palm is bleeding, from what seems like a cross shaped wound. "Let me see... your deepest pain."
ShitshitshitshitShitShitShitShitSHITSHIT! Don't... don't make me remember...
Please...
The Magical Girl in black dress puts her palm on Nobita's forehead as he lets out an ear piercing scream, not unlike the sound a pig makes when it is being slaughtered. Her blood feels hot, in fact Nobita feels like it's burning through his skin, and skull till it burns right through his brain.
And then... everything begins to turn black till the dark fog clears. When Nobita regains his vision, he notices the thing he is currently looking at is the grey pavement. It's something he must have seen thousands of times, consider how many times Gian used to make him eat the floor. It does feel different this time though.
"Pathetic..." The sneering taunt comes from a voice that's unfamiliar to Nobita. He looks up and see a man in fox mask staring down at him. Behind the man, Shizuka is wearing a frilly dress, way too fancy than the clothing she used to wear. Now that Nobita has seen a couple of real life Magical Girls, he realize Shizuka must also be one of them four years ago.
She is being tied up by a white rope, like the one Shinto Priest use to create a barrier. The man in fox mask holds the end of the rope.
This is... what happened four years ago. The thing I tried so hard to block out of my own head... That's right, Shizuka didn't just disappear out of thin air. She was taken away by this man, and I tried to forget it because I couldn't stop it from happening...
That's when Nobita realize his body is on autopilot as he seems to be trying to get up. Or more precisely, his 10 years old body which his mind currently seem to inhabit. Like in his memory, he is stomped down on the head by the man in fox mask.
"...man are determined by their strength, those who lack strength does not have the right to say 'I care about someone'." There is a certain sense of arrogance and superiority within the man's voice which even his ten years old self can tell. But now Nobita is reliving this memory, he feels like he's catching a glimpse of... something else. Although such feeling is faint and swift, which makes Nobita wonder if him question his own sense.
"Please, stop this cruelty." He hears Shizuka's voice pleading at the man in fox mask. "I will go with you, just... give me a minute to say goodbye."
"NO! Don't go with this bastar- ARGH!" Ten years old Nobita tries to change his friend's decision, and is once again stomped into the pavement for his effort.
"What do you propose for your precious little friend then? Staying with you? You are so weak and worthless, you only serve as her burden. She'll at least be useful for me when she comes with me." The man in fox mask lets out a maniac laugh afterwards before regaining his composure and walks away with his back turned against Nobita as if he's disgusted to look at the young boy. "You have a minute."
That man... or is it a boy? His voice fluctuate between high and low pitch I can't even tell. But that's right... I wanted to forget because I was completely useless. This bastard taken away my best friend like it is nothing, yet I didn't even know who he is.
"...Shizuka..." Nobita's sight is all blurry, partially due to his glasses being knocked away, and partially due to blood getting into his eyes.
"Nobita, take care yourself from now on. Finish your homework everyday... and try to be stronger..." Nobita can feel Shizuka gently holding his head as she gives him a warm and reassuring smile. She holds out her little finger at Nobita. "...And we'll meet again. That's my promise to you."
It is a lie... she already knew this is farewell, but she doesn't want me to give up hope of having a better life. She is still worried about me, even when something like this happens to her...
This is why I have such a hard time letting you go even when I know I won't see you again.
"I promise you... I'll finish my homework from now on... and I'll be stronger, braver too..." Nobita's eye sight become even more distorted, is it due to blood, or something else? Regardless of the reason, he extend out his own pinky finger and hook it to Shizuka's. They shake their hands for a short while, before Shizuka is pulled away by the man in fox mask, slowly disappearing in Nobita's sight.
I was so useless...
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
"Oh... you poor thing... having one of your most precious person forcibly taken away from you like this. Surely such cruel fate shouldn't happen to anyone." When Nobita regains his senses, he realize his head is resting on the nameless Magical Girl's lap. Her voice sounds kind and compassionate as she gently runs her hand through Nobita's hair like a mother trying to comfort her own son. And for a second, Nobita sees tear running in her eyes.
Why is this insane Magical Girl look so sad all of sudden? Could it be... she also has someone dear taken away from her?
"But you need not to feel such pain anymore... for we will all be set free, by our death!" Suddenly, the madness returns to the girl's eyes as she suddenly pulls the rope in her hand, dragging Nobita's body from floor into air as the rope around his neck hangs on one of the supporting beam in the ceiling. "...May you find your dear Shizuka in death."
Nobita's tries to hold onto the nook around his neck as his legs starts to kick around. He can feel the rope tightens around and he is losing air fast. All he can think right now is he doesn't want to die. He may not be able to see Shizuka again, but he certainly doesn't want to die like this.
At very least, not when he doesn't even know the identity of the fox masked bastard who taken Shizuka away. In his panic, he seems to hear something echoes around him.
Flèche D'Argent
The pressure around his neck suddenly disappears as Nobita falls down to his butt. He lets in a few heavy breath, trying to regain his composure while he slouches on the floor. Through all of this, he hears a sound coming from the staircase.
"Please stop this madness Kurokami-san! Aren't you the one who taught me Magical Girls should help others, not harm them?"
Nobita looks toward the staircase and sees another Magical Girl standing in front of it. She wears a set of long white boots, a light pink one piece dress with skirt shaped like cherry blossom. The girl has a giant pink round shaped bowtie behind her head, which makes her look like a cartoon mouse. She is currently holding a silver sword that has smoke rising from its tip which seems to be pointing towards the Magical Girl in black's direction.
As Nobita start to catch his breath, he realize this new Magical Girl looks familiar. She has a somewhat plain looking face and a raven hair in a short style that makes her look more like a boy...
This is the same girl who accidently knocks Satome on her ass earlier this afternoon. She looks very concerned right now, but the feeling seems to be directing towards Kurokami rather than Nobita as she didn't even give him a glimpse.
"Ah... Miyoko, Miyoko, my dearest Miyoko. So good for you to give me a visit. I would rather you didn't interrupt my work, but it's good to see you after all those time. I don't go out much those days, but even I heard you are taking in some protégés yourself. Feeling a bit lonely all by yourself?" Nobita looks up at Kurokami and realize she has a warm, inviting smile on her face. But the insanity still lingers in her eyes seem to betray her true intention.
"Yes... I miss Izume, Karen, Aoi, and You very much." The new Magical Girl Miyoko looks down at the floor for a second with nostalgia in her eyes. But she quickly brings up her eyes to stare Kurokami right in the eyes once again. "But enough about me, what made you change? Why are you doing such cruel things to all those innocent people Kurokami-San?"
"How can you throw such wild accusation at me Miyoko, I am deeply hurt by your lack of understanding." Kurokami press both of her hands in front of her chest as she lets out a gasp at Miyoko's accusation. "I did not change at all as I am still helping people. Why... I am simply saving everyone from their pain by granting them the peace of death."
"How can you say something this crazy? How can you save anyone by killing them!" Nobita realizes Miyoko seems to shift her weight backwards as her eyes widen at Kurokami explanation. He wonders if Miyoko is so taken aback by this statement she instinctively wants to take a step back, but manages to fight against the urge.
"You can't understand the gift to us all that is death? I don't blame you... you didn't see what I seen. But you do remember I had a sister, am I right Miyoko-Chan?" As Kurokami slowly recite her story, Nobita notices the madness in her eyes seem to recede and she has the same look as when she was comforting him after his forced flashback. "I was so angry at papa when sister hang herself because she can't take all his abuse anymore... I took a knife and shove it into his stomach. He kicked, screamed like a pig and cursed me with the most vile word. But you know what he did last?"
At this point, two stream of tear starts to run down the mad Magical Girl's face, and her mouth twist upwards into a smile. "He begged for forgiveness. To Mama, to sister, and to me... That's when I remember sister's face when she hanged herself. She looks peaceful... even happy for once. And that's when I realize something: Death not only set us free from our pain, it also purifies us from all our sins. That's why I will continue to save everyone else, even if nobody will understand me, because I know sister will be proud of me."
Nobita notices Miyoko seems quite shaken up by Kurokami the mad Magical Girl's statement. Heck, he is pretty sure he's shaken in his jacket himself. Anyways, Miyoko seems to be having a bit of trouble focusing her attention on Kurokami, which is lucky for her since Kurokami is not showing any sign hostility against her right now. In fact, both Magical Girls seem to be lost in their respective thought until Miyoko finally said something. "...That's not true... Death is not our salvation... If what you said is truth, than why do you have this!"
The pink mouse like Magical Girl starts out in a murmur, but gradually picks up her voice till she booms out the sentence. Miyoko suddenly aims her silver sword away from Kurokami and let out another battle cry. "Flèche D'Argent!"
A bolt of silver lightening fires off her sword, and shoots at a corner of the building. Nobita notices the white rabbit he was following is hiding in the corner, and is hit by Miyoko's attack. "Kyuu~!"
"That thing I just hit, it is the familiar of a witch isn't it? If you truly believe in saving people by granting them death, than why did you feed them to this familiar? It was you who taught me the people who have their lives taken by a witch or familiar have their souls taken away. Saving those people for your sister is just an excuse you make for yourself Kurokami-San, you are just feeding them to a witch's familiar because you don't want to die! And doing this in your sister's name is only sullying her memory!"
At those words, the face of Kurokami become twisted. For some reason, it reminds Nobita that of an Oni from folklore. The ropes which drips down from the sleeves of Kurokami also tighten up, resembling a whip rather than a lasso. "I won't have you speak such nonsense, about me dishonoring my sister!"
And with that, Kurokami lunges at Miyoko while swinging her ropes forward with the intention and ferocity to completely annihilate her existence. Miyoko on the other hand seems to have regains her composure, as she holds onto her silver sword with both hand and slide through the flurry of wipe slash with minimum effort while inching closer to Kurokami. Nobita notices the way she move around is more like a well disciplined fencer who conserves her stamina, which is very different than Jaiko's wild leaps.
As the Magical Girl in pink close in on Kurokami, she suddenly points her silver sword forward and goes for a two hand thrust. For a split second, the image of two distinguish different Magical Girls seem to merge together, before they split apart as first blood is drawn.
A geyser of blood erupt from the mad Magical Girl's shoulder, but Miyoko doesn't look very happy with it. In fact, she has a very concerned face like she just messed something up. "You improved a lot Miyoko... pity you are still using every move I taught you!"
Despite being the one who is injured, Kurokami still sounds completely confident in her voice as she snaps around and faces Miyoko while catching a rope drips from the ceiling. "Which is too bad... since I never showed you all my tricks!"
She pulls down the rope before Miyoko has the time to do anything to stop her, and the bodies hanging from ceiling suddenly start to fall towards Miyoko like a walls and walls of zombies. Miyoko quickly back flip out the way of the first dozen of bodies before breaking into a sprint around the room as dead bodies keep falling towards her. "How many waves of dead assault can you survive?!"
She is right Nobita, at this rate Miyoko's defeat is imminent. And when she fells... Kurokami will come after you. I suggest you make your wish now, become a Magical Boy and help Miyoko in this fight.
Nobita turns his head, and realize Kyubey the white alien rabbit cat fox is staring at his eyes with the same old beady little red eyes. He immediately reaches out and eagle claws Kyubey's head.
Oh dear, this is a...
"Hey! Asshat!" Nobita picks Kyubey's small body up by his head and throws him at Kurokami while shouting at the top of his lung. "Yippee ki-yay MOTHER FUCKER!"
...setback...
That is Kyubey's last thought before he splatters into bits when he collide with a spinning dead body Kurokami uses as a make shift shield in front of her. Although Nobita doesn't get to fully witness the spectacle, since he is pick up by his collar when Miyoko rushes pass him like a speeding bullet.
"You should have run." Nobita can clearly hear the disapproval in Miyoko's voice.
"Because you were winning?"
"If you run away, I might find an opening and run myself. Now we may both die." Nobita doesn't get the chance to let the awkward realization that he manages to become a burden rather than help settle in before Miyoko suddenly loses her footing and they both crash onto the concrete floor. At this point Nobita realizes a rope lasso is tied to Miyoko's ankle as it drags Miyoko back towards Kurokami.
Miyoko does her best to flip up from the floor and thrust her sword at Kurokami as she is being pulled close. The mad Magical Girl simply tilt her head to avoid the attack as she swats Miyoko's sword out of her hand. "Your attack is the same as always Miyoko, precise, but nothing if not predictable. It may work on Witches, but do you honestly believe it'll work on your old mentor?"
She stomps one of her feet onto Miyoko's chest to prevent her from trying to get away as she reaches toward Miyoko's head with her palm open. Even in a good distance away Nobita can still see blood drip down from her cross shaped wound. "Now... let me see your deepest pain."
"Run!" Miyoko manage to throw Nobita a desperate look before her face is covered by the hand of Kurokami. Her body start to violently convulse as she screams out just like Nobita a short time earlier.
Damn it... DAMN IT! I am still so useless... instead of helping I ends up messing things up again! Why am I so useless in those kind of situation... why can't I be more like that Tuxedo Mask wannabe! Come to think of it... where is that cosplayer anyway?
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
"Argh..." The Tuxedo Mask cosplayer crashes into a bunch of trash cans with a loud grunt as he is knocked backward. He can hear the loud cursing of some resident as they shout some dirty word at him, assuming him to be a drunken hobo. He puts his hand along a concrete wall for support as he slowly gets up.
"...So that's the reason I was warned not to tangle with one of Hachibey's Preventers." He shakes his head, trying to come up with a sound strategy to overcome this obstacle between him and the old abandoned building where a battle between Magical Girls is currently taking place. Too bad his mind only draw up a blank.
Extreme long range, pinpoint accuracy and rapid fire to boot... And my lens might as well be made of papers for all the good they does against his steel balls. The only advantage I may have over him is getting close and personal since I'm pretty sure my walking cane is a more effective close range weapon than steel balls, but that's assuming I can get within range to begin with. This guy's fighting style is super effective against mine.
The cosplayer look up and stares at his opponent who is currently standing on top of an utility pole juggling three steel balls in his right hand. The Preventer dresses in a white, nameless baseball player uniform, with a pitcher's cap hang so low it blocks half of his face. He is a fairly short with a height just over 170 cm and a slim build that makes him look more like a monkey, but it certainly doesn't stop him from being a formidable fighter especially in long range.
"Run along now Warden, or do you want me to kick your ass a bit more? You already know I won't let you approach my charge right?"
"While I don't want to provoke a fight with Hachibey's Preventers... you do realize your charge is insane, and she is killing innocent people right?" Tuxedo Mask lets out a sigh as he brushes away some fish bones from his cape.
"I fail to see how that's any of my problem, my only goal is to keep Kira-Chan safe." The monkey like Preventer lets out a shrug as he gets into another pitching stance. "Aren't you Wardens protect all Magical Girls instead of choosing one charge like us Preventers. You should just cut your lose with this one, and focus on the others."
"A logical argument. My chance at beating you is very slim, and if I'm dead I won't be able to protect anyone..." The Warden hangs his head low for a second, before he holds his walking cane like a hammer and goes into his own fighting stance. "But human lives can't be valued by a simple number, so I choose all or nothing."
"It's your funeral." The Warden sees a smirk appear on the Preventer's face as three steel balls fly towards him with the speed of bullet and force of meteor.

I wonder if anybody actually predicted Homura enter into this story. But it really is a required, consider this story's title is Daybreak's Bell, and her last name roughly means Daybreak's Beauty.
But to be a bit more serious, having Homura enter this story certainly has a bigger purpose than making this a cheap tie-in to PMMM, and taking Homura into this story gives me an opportunity to write her a bit out of her usual character arc I feel not many author has utilized at this point. In addition, what I planned for Homura does tie well into the semi-original main cast of Daybreak's Bell and the story.
I'm also going to put some information regarding the different original Witch/Familiars featured in this story, although it's a shame I'm not that well versed in English (or other language) to give them well thought name like the original PMMM. Sorry for the confusion that might cause to anyone reading this story, but I do hope the description itself is enough to distinguish which Witch/Familiar I am writing about.
