Tear Droplet: For some reason I don't want to continue my old fanfictions anymore… so I'll just type this one till I get bored and lazy and forget about it all over again. It's a cycle, nothing new, I'm just lazy. For those who read the story before I edited it, sorry if you don't like the slight change but as soon as I uploaded the chapter, I played the game and finished it so I changed some parts. I still don't like the ending and want a game 2 out something. I thought part 2 was going to be longer but I guess I was wrong. I'm pissed, sad, and in awe all at the same time. Geez talk about mood swings. To get to the point, thank you those who read. I type randomly and my stories styles are all the same. I'm still pondering on the actual title. First it was Beyond the point of reality, but then after playing the game I found out that it was called A witch's Tale Between Dream and Reality (something like that), so I changed it to Beyond the borders of Dream and Reality, but I can't help but think of how I should rename it to Beyond the points of time and space.
I know I know, they're all practically the same but the title is important XD. I'll think of something in the end, for now, here's the story.
Disclaimer: If I owned A Witch's Tale, I wouldn't be so pissed and write a fanfic.
Chapter 2: The new journey shall begin
She was fast asleep. She heard voices talking but she didn't want to wake up now. Not yet at least.
"It was fun Liddell" Loue said as he placed a necklace with a red stone on her neck. "Goodbye…for now" he said again patting her head as she started to cry.
"Loue…everyone"
"Goodbye"
"Liddell"
"Who's there?"
"Welcome back…it must been tough" a warm voice said along with a warm light.
"No because I never realized I wasn't alone"
"True"
"But now, it's time to leave"
"So how is she?" A familiar yet not familiar girl's voice asked
"She's the usual" a familiar masculine voice replied "It's happened again huh?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry I wasn't able to do anything"
"Don't worry, you're still young, you were better back then"
"That was then this is now"
"You're still looking at the Dark side"
"And you're still annoying"
"Mmmnnn"
"Oh is she awake?"
"Liddell are you alright?" the familiar male's voice said as he placed his arms on Liddell's shoulders.
Liddell opened her eyes to be greeted with a familiar looking vampire and an unfamiliar girl hovering above her face with worried expressions on their face.
"Don't come so near me!" she yelled as she moved her hand around the area in search for her umbrella but found none so she used her fist to hit the vampire's head.
"Oww, that hurt, stop it" he cried.
Liddell sat up and rubbed her head while adjusting her eyes to the light.
"Loue…" she muttered.
"Ahh so you remembered" Loue said.
"Yeah, like right about now, what happened! Did I return back into Alice's World again? What in the name is-"
"Shh… calm down" he said stroking her head.
"ARGH! I told you not to pat me!" she exclaimed moving her hands around the bed searching for her umbrella but found none.
"Um…is this what you're looking for?" the girl who was watching the whole scene said as she handed her the orange umbrella.
Liddell quickly grabbed it and hit Loue with it.
She straightened herself on the bed and sat up right while Loue rubbed his hurting head.
"So you two are acquainted huh?" she said.
"I guess you can say that" Loue replied "she was the girl who was capable of unsealing the Eld Witch and used the Runes perfectly"
"Ah…so she's the famous one, and now she was able to release them…"
"Can someone please explain to me what's going on?" Liddell interrupted.
The girl looked at Loue who gave her the sign telling her to go right on ahead to say what she was going to say.
"First let me introduce myself since it'll be easier to get acquainted that way. My name is Glace though that's an alias" Glace said pulling a chair next to the bed and sat down while Loue sat down on the bed next to Liddell. "And I'm a bird person that was told to guard the room you were in. You're already familiar with the Runes so I don't need to explain anything about that. Tell me, did you ever hear of the other half of the legend, about the new type of magic?" she asked
"Yup! I went to that place in search of more info" Liddell replied.
"So, you know who Chronos is. To make a long story short, Liddell if I'm correct, when you dropped that picture frame with the picture inside, you just broke the seal that was entrapping Chronos and the Eld Witch's daughters"
"It wasn't my fault, you were the one to surprised me"
"Yeah but you weren't supposed to be there in the first place" she fought back.
"You were sleeping on the job, just like someone else was" she said motioning a look on Loue who knew exactly what she meant "Do you guys all like sleeping?"
"It gets boring on the job and I'm a bird. I'm mostly awake at day and sleep at night. Anyway, even if I did scare you, the seal shouldn't have broken just with a drop on the floor. That glass was shatterproof with the magic seal. I believe that when you touched it you removed the seal and by dropping it, released them" she explained.
"So, what do you want me to do about it?" Liddell asked.
"Chronos is a very mysterious guy, but seeing how he didn't return to his seal and judging from the last statement before he left, he's going to head towards Queen Lorina before making his way to Queen Alice"
"Huh?"
"The world you had entered when you released him is different from the world you met Loue in" she explained "this world is more like a world within a world"
"And you're telling me this because…"
"Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
"It wasn't entirely my fault"
"Yeah but it wasn't not your fault either"
"Fine, I'll take responsibility, Jeesh; you don't have to be so pushy. I can take a hint. So, what do you want me to do?" Liddell asked.
"I knew you'll understand" she said smiling, now come, we must return so I can explain more" she said.
"Where are we anyway?" Liddell asked when they had gotten out of the Inn they were just in.
"This is a town opposite of what you call Shadow town but since it has no name we'll call in Reflection Town" Glace answered.
"Huh? That's a weird name seeing how there are ghosts floating around here"
"Well I didn't want to call it a ghost town and besides you can enter this town through a mirror" she retorted.
"You have weird naming sense just like Loue"
"Hey I'm still here" Loue said sweat dropping.
"Well I'm sor-ray but I wasn't born to name" she replied.
"How did I get here anyway?"
"Umm…" she started
Flashback
A few minutes later, the smoke had cleared and the two girls were sprawled on the floor. Glace was the first to recover as she held her head trying to ease the pain. She turned her head to face Liddell who was still unconscious.
"Hey!" she said as she shook Liddell "are you alright?" she said again still shaking. "Hey wake up!" she said again shaking even harder.
"Oh no, what should I do?"
"What's happened here" Loue said as he made his grand entrance into the room.
"You are…"
"…."
"Loue right! Anyway what should I do!"
"Liddell!" He exclaimed as he rushed over to Liddell.
"She's not waking up" Glace panicked "OMG what should I do!"
"We need to treat her wounds, where is the nearest town?"
"Umm it's in the Gate Rooms at east then south but…"
"There's no time to waste hurry" he said as he carried Liddell bridal style and ran out the room east.
"But if you go there...oh well not my problem" she thought the last part as she picked up the umbrella that was left behind and walked after Loue. Before she went east she made a couple of stops before heading east where Loue was pondering on where to go next.
"It's here" she pointed as she pointed to a giant mirror.
"But that's just a mirror" Loue protested
She sighed and walked towards the mirror. She blew on the mirror till some condensation was formed and drew something on the mirror. After she lifted her hand the mirror looked like it was dispersing like water but soon returned solid. On the other side of the mirror wasn't their reflection anymore but what looked like a glass town. She placed her hand on the mirror and it went through.
"Aren't you coming?" she asked before she completely walked through the mirror.
Loue gulped but he soon too walked through the mirror.
"Things really changed around here" he said when he made it to the other side with Liddell.
"Time and Space was distorted when you guys used that room" she explained as they checked in the inn.
Loue laid Liddell on the bed and tucked her in.
"Here give her this" she said throwing a small glass bottle to Loue. "Hold it above her at a great distance and pour it on her. It'll heal her wounds.
Loue did as instructed and after he was done he handed the bottle back to her.
"Alice had sent me here to check up on this place. What happened?"
"Chronos was released" she replied. "He's probably headed towards the 6 kingdoms now so he can make it to there. Now, tell me who's this girl? You're girlfriend? You pedophile"
"N-n-no it's nothing like that" he stuttered while blushing.
"Hm… then explain to me the necklace. I'll recognize that anytime no matter how many times I'm reborn"
"Well that's…"
"I'll stop, so who is she actually?"
"She's Liddell, I'm sure you heard of her"
"Of course we have, she's quite famous around here"
End of Flashback
"And that's basically what happened" she replied saying it as if it was nothing while Liddell was looking pissed to the fact that she was carried by Loue.
"Anyway we should hurry back" she said walking ahead, "now come come, Loue I can't stay here much longer so I'll leave Miss. Liddell to you" Glace said as she rushed towards a certain direction.
"What's her rush?" Liddell muttered.
"She's not a free bird so she can't roam around as free as I can" Loue explained "Let's go" he said again attempting to hold her hand but Liddell whacked it away.
"Don't treat me like a little kid, I can walk by myself" she huffed as she walked towards the direction Glace walked towards.
"Still the same I see" he said to himself and followed.
The two entered the Gate Room together.
"You two sure took your time" Glace said "Were you two making out or something?"
"Huh? Me what this dude, are you serious?" Liddell stated while pointing at Loue who merely sweat dropped.
"Enough playing around" he said.
"So, I'll explain some more things around this place. This is the Gate Room; same as the gate room from the opposite side" Glace explained "The only difference is that entering into these worlds isn't as simple as it over there. You have to open the door through the inside and outside"
"Huh?"
"On your side you have to have someone open the gate for you before you can enter. Here you, you can open the doors till you open it from the inside and the outside. In other words since these worlds are connected with the ones on the other side, you have to open the door from here, open the door from the opposite side, and open it from the inside before you can entirely enter and exit here" she replied. "It's a little confusing here for a good reason but maybe an example would help. If you want to go to this room right here for example" she said pointing at a white gate entrance room with light black streaks on it, you're going to have to somehow gain approval of your entrance, then return to the other gate room, and enter to the back door of the castles to actually get inside the actual world. Once inside you have to gain permission from the ruler and have it opened completely. Once you have it open completely you may enter an exit from this gate freely"
"I still don't get it but I'll be alright since you'll be there right?" Liddell stated.
"Um, unfortunately I can't…" she replied.
"What?"
"I can't accompany you on this journey, so I was hoping Loue will do it in place of me" she replied turning to Loue with a smile.
"But I don't know my way around these worlds" Loue protested.
"It's alright" she replied handing him a moon shaped mirror with a star attached. "If you ever need some serious help, you can use this. This mirror will act as a communicator with me and as a computer that can store information. You can use this to find out more info on the world once you enter"
"Why can't you enter?" Liddell asked.
"I'm a trapped bird" she replied "unlike Loue here, I'm not exactly free. I'm not allowed to roam around much. That's why I had to leave Reflection Town in a hurry."
"…."
"But don't worry, I don't really mind, it's not like I have much to do anyway" she said with a smile. If you ever want to communicate with me just look for light" she said "it's different for each world but you'll be able to recognize it because it stands out from the rest. Just let the mirror reflect the light and I will be able to communicate with you" she replied.
"Alright, I guess it can't be helped" Liddell said sadly "so how are we going to enter to the first land?"
"All these doors are locked and I have no access to them what so ever" she replied
"…"
"So we have no way to even start our mission"
"I was planning to use the spare key to get you in from the start…" she started
"The spare key! That's it! We'll just get another spare key from that Storage room and we'll be on her way!" Liddell exclaimed while running around to find the exit.
"Umm…where's the exit?"
"Just because this world is the opposite of the other, it's not much different" she muttered "Like the other Gate room there is no exit"
"WHAT!"
"I wasn't really going to force you to do this in the beginning really if it wasn't your choice but Loue had brought you to this place in order to get to Reflection Town. Besides I already checked that room. It seems that you had used the only spare key"
"…."
Before another suggestion could be made something mysterious happened. One of the gate doors started to glow a bit engulfing the whole room with light.
"What the?" the trio exclaimed covering their eyes from the light.
When the light dispersed, one of the gates looked a little brighter than before.
"Can it be?" Glace said running to the door. She examined it a bit before saying "this door has just been unlocked from the inside"
"What!"
"Then that's awesome, now we can continue with this new quest of ours" Liddell said happily.
"But isn't it strange how the gate just randomly opened itself?" Loue asked.
"Who cares, maybe something bad is happening over there and so they figured that help was going to come their way so they opened it" Liddell replied
"Still, something doesn't feel right about this. What do you think Glace?" Loue said
"…"
"Glace?"
Glace just stood in front of the mirror like gate door, staring into her reflection that looked a bit faded. She looked as if she was deep in thought. VERY deep.
"Glace hello, you in there?" Liddell said.
"Hm? Oh I'm sorry, well I do agree with Loue but what's done is done. For now we should just take advantage of this situation. You two should hurry over now since it also could have been an accident.
"But how do we get back to the other side!" Liddell exclaimed.
"The mirror to Reflection Town not only is an entrance to Reflection but Shadow Town as well. Shadow Town now has access to back to Reflection town too. The entrance to it is just in the very back. Now, now, off you two go, you're wasting time. The opposite world to that gate is Rem Sacchras so hurry, hurry. Go to the princess of that world and ask for her sigil. Her sigil will be needed and then ask for an entrance in the door behind her throne. There will get you to the world inside. Hurry now!" she explained pushing the two towards the mirror towards Reflection town.
"Before we go, Liddell I'm going to give this back" Loue said handing her the Tome. Since we're heading back there you need to be prepared with some magic.
"Thanks" she said taking the book.
"That reminds me, Runes won't have much of an effect on monsters there. This is why I'm going to unlock the magic that Chronos uses. She held out her hand palm side up towards the book and the book shone. I just unlocked Etoile, the name of the overall hidden magic. I will also give you these" she said again handing Liddell the picture frame that was broken before only the glass was fixed, and a bottle, similar to the one she handed to Loue earlier.
"What's this?" Liddell asked.
"You might meet the 6 daughters when there. I hope you can seal them back into the frame. I equipped some sealing magic into the book but you can't use it till they're weak. Even without the magic they can seal themselves but I doubt they'll be willing to. This here is a bottle of phoenix tears courtesies of yours truly. I can't give you a tomato since I don't like them and don't have any and since I have phoenix blood mixed inside of me, I can provide you with this at least. They can heal your wounds at serious times so use it well, since it's rare to find it. There's a plentiful amount in a certain world but you won't be able to get it that easily."
"Thanks" Liddell said
"Now let's stop chit chatting and get a move on it" she said pushing the two into the mirror. "Good Luck and be safe"
The two fell into the mirror without getting a chance to protest. As soon as they left, Glace turned around to face the door that just opened itself. She walked toward it and faced her reflected image.
"But, it really shouldn't have opened…unless…
The two landed in what they recognized as the back of shadow town.
"Oww… she didn't have to push us" Liddell said.
"It couldn't be helped seeing how time passes differently from here to there. We must hurry, before the guy can get to this place as well" Loue said
"I guess, let's go" Liddell exclaimed as they ran to the portal to the Gate Room. When they arrived the sky had changed color. "But that hardly took us any time" Liddell huffed.
"I don't know the time difference between all these places. For all we know, a month could have passed in the other worlds, we must hurry" Loue replied.
"This place…it hasn't changed" Liddell reminisced.
"Hurry Liddell" Loue said already in front of the gate to Rem Sacchras.
"Alright, I'm coming" she said running to the gate. They entered together, into the world of Rem Sacchras, off to enter the door to the new world.
Tear Droplet: I'm sorry, that was stupid. I wrote this chapter with no effort. I didn't want to explain everything which is why it's not clear. Hopefully I'll make it clear further in the story. I have no idea where I'm going with this plotline so no one ask. I planned to update this sooner but I got lazy for editing, then I felt like changing some details, then I got lazy again. Meant to update on Saturday May 15 cause it was a special occasion (guess why) but then I got lazy again. If anyone is confused with anything, please ask. I will explain more clearly. One more thing, Glace's name is pronounced as Glass before anyone asks me.
Like any other story I've written, I'll give my thanks to those who reviewed and such:
