There is an alternate universe, where a rebellion is taking place. The force of Good against an evil ruler, locked in a stalemate.
There are five ordinary kids on Earth-
"Um...excuse me, Mr. Richardson? There are five more kids here."
Oh, thank you, Benjamin. Yes, TEN ordinary kids on Earth who must stand united. Who must fight this evil... And who must WIN.

Meridian...
A world that exists completely separate from the Earth. One could make comparisons from it to Medieval Europe; complete with castles. One such caste, was the one that stood on the mountaintop, one that seemed fit for a cruel and dark leader. The architecture was almost completely black from the outside with a vast swirling purple vortex hanging above it as the castle stood over a small town: a symbol of dominance and oppression.
Inside was what appeared to be a small armory. It was relatively unguarded as the only sentry appeared to be sleeping. A shadowy figure snuck through the window and went to a nearby crate, opening it up to reveal several swords neatly stacked inside.
"Phobos steals our weapons to use against us." The figure, a young man, said quietly to himself as he scowled. He turned and spotted a bow and a set of arrows hanging from the wall, which he was quick to grab.
"Aldarn's father made this bow."
The boy was tall with brown hair and green eyes. He wore a brown trench coat over a grey shirt and pants with brown boots.
The young man quickly and quietly made his way to a pile of barrels, containing explosive powder. He picked one up and put it into a small window before putting another one in to push the first barrel out. The barrel fell down and into the moat below where the young man's comrade, a green-skinned humanoid with small horn-like features along his head, used a hooked rod to pull the barrel, followed by several others that fell one at a time.
"Okay, that's enough. Get out." The green-skinned young man whispered, knowing his friend was in great danger the longer he stayed in that armory.
His worries were proven correct as while Caleb had been pushing the barrels out, a sentry on the balcony below noticed the barrels falling and after a brief bit of panic, quickly went to alert his comrade.
"Hey! You!"
"Looks like Plan B," Caleb said when he realized he was busted. Quickly, he grabbed a rope from the ceiling and swung toward a stack of boxes, while grabbing a torch with his free hand in the process as he landed.
He stuffed the torch into a barrel of powder and threw it, almost like one would a grenade. The two guards panicked and ran, the barrel following them into a room, which they quickly ran back out of along with another of their comrades as the barrel exploded.
Unfortunately, this alerted all the other guards, who quickly stopped whatever they were doing to grab their weapons as one of them sounded a horn.
As the guards charged into the armory, Caleb threw another barrel and fired a flaming arrow at it toward the wall, creating another explosion that blew away the wall and much of the armory, giving Caleb the opening that he needed as he dived out and into the water.
However, as he surfaced to swim back to his friend, a massive eel-like water monster emerged behind him. Luckily, his green-skinned friend, Aldarn, threw his hooked rod into the beast's throat, making it squirm and fall back into the water as he pulled Caleb to safety.
Unfortunately, the guards began firing arrows at the two friends, who were forced to leave the barrels behind as they fled. Back in the destroyed armory, as a few guards went after the boys and helped their injured comrades up, an enormous shadowy figure emerged from the smoke and picked up one of the guards by the collar.
"Who did thissss?"
"A boy…" The guard coughed. "One of the rebels…"
The giant figure tightened his grip. "Find him!"

On Earth, a mild storm was brewing over the bustling town of Heatherfield.
One of the most prominent spots in the city was a local Chinese restaurant known as 'The Silver Dragon', which was also home to the Lin Family. The occupants were a young 15-year-old girl named Hay Lin, her parents, and her grandmother, Yan Lin.
However, the restaurant had another occupant among them, a young man the same age as Hay Lin, but who was so tall that one would mistake him for an adult. His name was Fraost, and he had been living with the Lin Family for as long as he could remember.
Yan Lin was currently tending to some laundry in the living room area when she suddenly heard a loud, booming sound upstairs. Before she could dwell on what was going on, she saw the cabinet door on her right open slightly, almost automatically, to reveal a cracked open chest with a strong pink glow emanating from it. She gave an audible gasp as she knew what it meant.
When she heard the door opening behind her, she was quick to close the cabinet and turned to see the distressed face of her granddaughter.
Hay Lin had a fair complexion, long dark purple hair done up in two long pigtails, and brown eyes. Seeing her arrive, Yan Lin was quick to close the cabinet before she could see what was inside.
"Grandma, I sneezed and like totally trashed my room. What's wrong with me?" The young girl asked worriedly. "It's not one of those 'becoming a woman' things, is it?"
"Hay Lin, you're just a growing girl." Yan Lin tried to assure her. "Its all a part of growing up."
"Ugh...it's too early for this..." Moaned a sleepy young man's voice as Fraost came in.
Fraost was a tall, handsome young man with a slender yet fit physique. His hair was long, wavey, and the color of freshly fallen snow and his eyes were a deep purple.
"Rise and shine, Fraost." Hay Lin sarcastically said. "If you saw what happened to my room, you'd wake right up."
Fraost smirked lightly as he helped himself to some tea his mood brightening.
"And what exactly happened?"
"I sneezed."
"….And this is groundbreaking, how?"
Hay Lin pouted and handed Fraost a plate.
"Oh just shut up and eat!"
Fraost looked confused for a moment, then shrugged and started eating his breakfast.
"Say, why not invite some friends over for an after-school snack?" Yan Lin suggested, knowing she needed to hurry things along for the right moment before the cabinet shook again.
"What's in there?" Hay Lin asked, slightly frightened.
"Oh! Christmas presents! Don't look!"
"Is there a bear cub with a flashlight in there or something?" Fraost sarcastically asked.
Fraost was never one to show his emotions much but he did have a sense of humor that was sharp like a knife and dry like the desert. Despite this, he and Hay Lin were inseparable, a regular opposites attract.
Yan Lin was quick in her own words, knowing what she needed to tell her granddaughter and the family tenant what they needed to hear to get things moving.
"You can invite Cornelia and Taranee and that funny girl Irma!"
"Sure!" Hay Lin smiled, happy to invite her friends over. However, Fraost was not one to be left out.
"What about Nagare, Karma, Edgar, and Apollo?"
"Oh! Yes! Bring them too!" Yan Lin smiled, glad to see that Fraost was able to set things up by himself.
"And that new girl, Will!" Hay Lin chimed in before humming to herself. "Huh, I wonder why I thought of her."
"You're a good person, she's new in town. Simple as that.:" Fraost mused with a smile.
"And the fact she's a girl has nothing to do with it?" Hay Lin smirked.
"Meh. She's not my type." Fraost shrugged. "Now come on. We better hurry."
"Yeah, lets hope you don't bonk your head on anything." Hay Lin teased.
"One time." Fraost graoned as they headed out, he himself ducking under the door. "You do it one time and they never forget…."

Sheffield Insitute was a high school that taught both middle school and high school classes. A little red car drove up to the front gates to drop off the school's newest student, a young 14-year-old girl with short bright red hair in a bob cut and big brown eyes as well as a cute splash of freckles across her face.
(Knightmare Lord A/N: Yes, I'm using Will's design from the upcoming 2023 Graphic Novel. Don't hate, I think it's cute how they gave her freckles.)
"Go on Will, and don't forget, make lots of new friends today." Her mother told her with a loving smile. "I put a dozen extra cookies in your lunch, to help break the ice with the other girls."
"Gee, that'll make me popular," Will said with a gentle sarcastic tone before smiling as she waved her mother goodbye and turned to the school.
The inside was like any other school; hallways, lockers, some graffti and students. Luckily, no one paused what they were doing and glared at her like in the movies, so Will hurried to her locker
"OOF!"
"OUCH!"
CRASH!
'Oh, great!' Will mused. She'd been in such a hurry and reading her notes that she had crashed into someone! 'Oh, double great!'
And it was a boy, no less! A cute boy!
He was 15 years old, a year older than Will with neatly trimmed black hair and pale Caucasian skin. The most catching thing about him that Will noticed was his eyes, which were a brilliant golden amber.
"I'm so, so sorry!" Will
"Oh no, no, no! That's all on me." The boy said, helping Will to her feet. "Too busy texting and not checking where I was…"
He paused.
"Say, are you new? I don't think I've seen you before."
Will gulped, but managed a nod.
"Yeah, we just moved. I'm Will."
"Will?" The boy checked his phone and his eyes widened. "Will Vandom?"
The girl tensed but nodded. How did he…? Had she offened someone while moving in?!
The boiy smiled and offered her a hand to shake, an embrassed smile on his face.
"Yeah, sorry. That was kind of creepy. I know your name because the Prinicpal volunteered me to give you a tour of the school."
Will let out a breath and shook the boy's hand.
"Well, better you than…anyone else, I guess…?"
"Nagare." The boy smiled. "So…where shall we start, Miss Vandom?"
"Whatever's easiet for ya. And don't call me Miss."
"Sorry."

Meanwhile, back in Meridian, Caleb and Aldarn had made it well past the castle but they didn't stop running, since the guards were very well on their trail by now.
"I told you to take a rope!" Aldarn scolded his friend.
"You also told me I couldn't break into the castle." Caleb joked as he handed Aldarn the bow he carried. "Here's your father's bow. At least this won't be used against us-!"
Caleb's words were cut off when he almost slipped and fell off the edge of the canyon but was able to stop himself. The two then turned to see the army closing in on them but luckily, down in the canyon were ostrich-like creatures.
"Huggons!"
With the small army closing in on them, the two rebels ran along the side of the canyon.
"How far down do you think it goes?" Aldarn asked.
"Jump, and I'll tell you." Caleb sarcastically replied as they jumped towards a small stone tower that was closer to the ground, before jumping to another that hung right over the Huggons. Once they were close enough to jump without injuring themselves if they landed on the ground, they each leaped onto a Huggon.
After managing to rustle the creatures, the two friends were able to escape, leaving the army to angrily cry out in frustration at their enemies slipping through their grasp.
WITCH
Back on Earth at Sheffield Insitute, the sky had cleared up and the students were in the gymnasium to present their science projects. One of the groups was a trio of girls; Cornelia Hale, Taranee Cook, and Irma Lair, Hay Lin's best friends.
Cornelia was very tall and elegant with a slender build, her blonde hair was long and thick and her eyes were an icy blue. Taranee was an African-American girl with blue-black hair and wore round black-rimmed glasses over her brown eyes. Finally, Irma had shoulder-length wavey auburn hair and greenish-blue eyes.
"Cornelia! Our project is supposed to prove that too much fertilizer reverses osmosis, killing the plant!" Taranee said. "Yours as grown like three inches!"
Cornelia sighed in annoyance. "Well, I tried to kill it. I fertilized it's little butt off!"
Not too far away, three boys looked ready…minus one.
"Where the heck is Nagare?!"
"Give him some time, Karma. You know he'll be here." Another boy said as he touched up on the display.
"Oh let me have this, Ed! We both know he'd be doing the same if it was me!: 'Karma' said..
Karma had black hair with red dyed streaks. He was also heterochromatic, meaning he had two different colored eyes. His left eye was a sharp crimson red while his right eye was a smooth emerald green. Fittingly, Karma was the wild card, always cracking jokes and messing around while enjoying life as it was.
"Do not call me Ed. Its Edgar." The other boy sighed.
Edgar had short brown hair, cool ocean-blue eyes, and more rectangular glasses with brown rims. It was clear from his posture and stance that he was the intellectual among his friends.
"Guys, stuff it. The sooner this is done, the better. Besides, I'll help ya deal with Nag, Karma." The third boy said,
Karma beamed at this and hugged the other boy
"Apollo! Olfd buddy! Old pal! Old chum of mine! You understand!"
"Let me go or you'll feel the worst male pain." Apollo demanded, and Karma did as he was asked.
Finally, Apollo was a relatively shorter-than-average young man with wild silver hair and onyx-colored eyes. Despite this, he had a fit, slender build but it was clear that he was not one to piss off or make fun of lightly.
Irma gasped. "The judge...!"
Sure enough, the judge and the school principal, Ms. Knickerbocker, were coming their way. Irma and Taranee quickly tried covering for Cornelia as she hastily smashed her plant to make it look as dead as the other two. Thankfully, it didn't seem like the judge or the principal noticed.
"Oh great, you and your little girly fists are gonna cost us a ribbon," Irma said through a forced smile with Taranee, trying not to look suspicious at all.
Just as Cornelia finished pounding her plant, it recovered almost immediately, as if some magical force was at work.
"And this is the gymnasium!" Nagare said as he entered with Will. "Yeah, it's the Science Fair today. But don't worry! You're new, so you get a free pass out of it!"
"Oh, cool," Will said as she followed Nagare, looking around at some of the stuff the other students made. Unfortunately, she happened to pass by four punkish-looking teenage boys.
"Hey, check out the new girl." One punk noticed her. "Hey, Wilma."
"It's just Will." She glared at him.
"Okay, Wilma!" He teased again, resulting in his pals laughing only for Nagare to give them an icy stare.
"Do I need to remind everyone in school of the Bathroom Incident last year, Uriah?"
This shut the punks up as Nagare and Will made their way over to the stands where Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, Karma, Edgar, and Apollo were.
"Well, look who decided to show!" Karma smirked, before he saw Will. He the gasped. "Why Nagare! My dearest, darling saint of a brother! Have you been running around with THIS lovely lady instead of…!"
Nagare bonked Karma on the head,
"Shut up." He spied Will's confused look. "…My idiot brother."
"That term is subjective and hurtful!" Karma smirked, but he was ignored.
"The midget is Apollo…"
"I'll kick your butt for that later!"
"And the fox is Edgar." Nagare finished.
"Hello there. Ah and here comes our giant!"
Hay Lin and Fraost had also just arrived as well, with Fraost giving his friends high-fives with a nonchalant smile on his face.
"That's Uriah. Ignore him." Hay Lin said to Will.
"Yeah, evolution sure did." Irma cracked. "One day we expect him to slither back into the water."
Edgar scoffed. "Honestly, how could an ignoramus bunch like him and his cronies even dare sully this fine establishment?"
"You're speaking Shakespearian Nerd again, Edgar." Karma teasingly said, only to be pushed away by the irate bespectacled young man.
However, the second she said that, right as one of Uriah's pals took a drink from a nearby drinking fountain, the water sprayed out and flew through the air before splashing Uriah in the face.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, Uriah. I dunno what happened."
The five girls shared a quick laugh while the boys all smirked.
"Whoever is currently haunting the school, thank you!" Karma called out as he looked up at the ceiling.
"Oh, Hay Lin, I got your note," Will said as she turned to Hay Lin and showed the note in question. "Thanks so much for the invitation. So what time are we eating?"
"She invited 'New Girl' to?" Cornelia whispered to Taranee and Irma, who gave her dirty looks.
"Cornelia!"
Unfortunately, Taranee's scolding caught Will's attention, an awkward pause filled the air as she shyly held up the box of cookies her mom packed.
"Want a cookie?"
"I would LOVE a cookie, thank you!" Karma beamed.
"You had cookies?!" Nagare gasped with a beam, then hurtful look. "And I wasn't worth one?"
"Oooooh! They're homemade!" Edgar beamed.
"Can I have one, please?" Apollo asked.
"…I'll take one if you can spare." Fraost added.
WITCH
Back in Meridian, within the very same dark castle that Caleb escaped from was a large and dark throne room with dark purple stained-glass windows all around, as well as large pillars decorated with black roses.
The occupant of the room sat upon a black throne that was perched high on top of a long set of stairs behind a large tree of thorns, he was a young man with long white hair, wearing a black and red royal robe along with a dark red crown. His skin was pale and somewhat olivish in color and he had a goatee as well.
Another man entered the chamber, he had the appearance of a young man with short blonde hair and purple eyes wearing noble green robes. He bowed before the man on the throne.
"Prince Phobos. We have had a breach. The armory has been destroyed, and the interlopers escaped the main guard. We suspect they head for the mountains."
The man on the throne, Prince Phobos, was none too pleased to hear this.
"The more success the Rebels have, the more it emboldens the peasants to rise up. This is too important to leave to guards."
"Yes, my prince." The other man said with a hiss at the end before his eyes quickly turned into reptilian slits as he underwent a powerful transformation.
The man grew in size and strength, his skin turning to green scales, his legs melting together into a long, thick, muscular serpentine tail, and his muscles grew exponentially.
"I shall handle it myssself!"
Knightmare Lord A/N:
Figured we'd stop right here to save time and also so as not to overwhelm Mrotrax with too many words. Or any of our readers for that matter.
Yup, we're doing a WITCH fanfiction! i remember seeing a few episodes of it on Jetix when I was a kid and also checked it out on YouTube when I was older. With the reveal of a new 2023 Graphic Novel Remake, I figured we'd cover the cartoon, but with the inclusion of five OCs we haven't used in a good long while.
Meet Nagare, Karma, Edgar, Apollo, and Fraost. A long time ago, I adopted these five OCs from a guy on Wattpad because I liked the designs for them. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out what to do with them until me and Mrotrax worked together on a small story with them but it didn't take off the ground.
Here, we fully plan to see them in action to the fullest as the allies of the Guardians of the Veil! Look for more down the line!
Mrotrax A/N:
Most of this is KL's work and his baby overall; I just added the boys interacting.
Keep safe and have a great one! See you soon!
