Chapter 8: Re:demption
In the age of witches the world was plagued by beings who could manipulate black magic thanks to the influences of the Factors, which caused many women and some men to become Witches when they were able to use this black magic due to the miasma caused by the same factors.
No one knows where it originated from or what caused them, but they existed as the antithesis of Od Laguna. Over time, they were given purposes and uses, becoming known by different names such as Witch Factors, Witch Gene or Authorities.
Although the Factors passed between Warlock and Witches, there was a time where 40 powerful witches were known for their Sin or Commandment, but in the end they were all forgotten as time went by and are only remembered by some, but it is said that history repeats itself, right?
So please let me tell you the story of the beginning of every Witches story.
[Greed]
In a village where black magic is practiced and its population was almost entirely witches, there was a girl reading some books in silence until someone was heard knocking on the door.
Mother: Little Echidna, are you still studying?
The little witch's mother said to enter with a smile with some books in her hands to see her daughter studying. The village prodigy. At her young age and she was already a complete expert in witchcraft and black magic.
Born as a witch, her great talent and potential in black magic was expected. Echidna, even though she suffered from antisocial personality disorder, she tried to show an honest smile. Echidna was not able to understand or express her emotions well, but even so, Echidna loved her mother with all her life and always sought her praise after studying so much, but that would be the last day since an attack on the village would soon begin. The witch hunters.
A group formed to obviously hunt down witches regardless of whether they were good or bad since many of the witches also caused disaster in the world so this group was formed to hunt them all down and avoid users of black magic or Factors.
Mother: You should go out with me, I need you to help me with some things and besides, it would be good practice for your magic.
She said with a smile as she offered her hand to her daughter who smiles and takes her hand.
Echidna: Very good, Mother!
He said with a big smile following her mother through the village greeting the inhabitants with a smile along with her mother. Although it is difficult for her to express herself, she knows how to simulate a smile and even more so with her mother.
Mother: Now, follow me...
She said leading Echidna to her personal laboratory. Echidna's mother is a person who uses alchemy and that is why she has this place that was her magic laboratory. She wanted to teach her daughter something.
When they entered, Echidna could feel a high concentration of mana in the environment and on her mother's main table there were several papers with various magic circles and runes drawn on them, in the same middle a glass box that had something inside. It was like a ball made of black magic threads.
Mother: This is a Witch Factor.
She said with a smile causing Echidna to open her eyes. The Witch Factors were known as powers that control the laws of the world with a power called anti-potent by witches.
There are many rumors where they come from, but it is said that it is a power beyond Od Laguna itself, stronger than the Divine Protections. The problem is the compatibility that you must have with these to be able to use them well.
If you are not compatible it is the same as taking poison. The factor must choose you or if you force it into your body you must at least be somewhat compatible or your life and mind will be destroyed in the progress.
That her mother had one here is surprising, it was obvious that with all the magical defenses she had: she was containing the Witch Factor in seals so it wouldn't escape.
Mother: I have been studying and experimenting with it to get its full potential, although I haven't gotten many results.
Echidna approaches the Factor a little fascinated, but as she approaches, the Factor begins to pulsate more strongly and the mother quickly stops her daughter from getting any closer when she sees how the Gene began to react.
Mother: I never saw it react like that...I knew that with you, I could make progress, we could move forward in a way to control the factors.
She said, covering her mouth to smile at her daughter who smiles back at being able to be with her mother that she loves so much, but sometimes she wonders if she loves her or THINKS she loves her, after all, she is good at simulating feelings, even if she doesn't understand them.
She really loved her mother or she just pretended it since it was normal for a daughter to love her mother. She didn't understand it now, but she hoped that with the passage of time she would be able to understand it with her mother by her side.
But to Echidna's bad fortune, her village is one of the most populated by witches, so she was one of the witch hunters' biggest priorities and that day it was attacked.
BOOM
It all started with an explosion at the main entrance of the village and several witch hunters entered the village to start a fight with the witches. Echidna's mother opens her eyes knowing who was the cause of this attack.
They leave the laboratory to see the destruction of their village that was now in total war. She had to take the factor and leave with her daughter far away before they found them.
She couldn't allow a factor to fall into the hands of the witch hunters or they would create someone else like "him", her greatest experiment and at the same time her greatest mistake.
Mother: Echidna, you must go...Please, I will go find the Factor and return to you to escape.
She said with a big smile to calm her daughter and give her confidence while Echidna slowly smiles having a bright and pure smile.
Echidna: Yes, mother!
Mother: Very good-
She could not continue when an invisible force hit Echidna's mother, creating a hole in her belly forcibly so that she and Echidna were thrown against one of the houses, destroying them in the process.
Echidna opens her eyes in a daze to look at her side and widens her eyes as she sees a large pool of blood as she tried to use healing magic to close her mother wound and stop the bleeding even if it was in vain.
Hector: What a disgrace, what sadness, what a shame... to have to cut off such a beautiful moment between mother and daughter, how unfortunate, but in the end, I hunted you and I had my REVENGE as I had sworn to you.
Said the man who was walking towards them while the mother looked at him with a death stare and Hector looked back at her.
Mother: Hec...tor...
He said, looking at the Witcher of Melancholy who was approaching with that violet aura, The definitive weapon of witch hunters, what better way to fight with witches than being one yourself? Fight fire with fire.
He was the one who focused that attack on Echidna's mother. He compacted the space and fired it like an invisible projectile. Echidna's mother was dying and Echidna even tried to use healing magic but it was not enough.
Mother: Echidna...you must...run...
She said while blood came out of her mouth, The mother brings her hand closer to her daughter's expressionless face and open eyes.
Mother: I know...that it is difficult for you to understand your emotions, that you are not progressing well...that it is difficult for you to express yourself and forgive me for...Leaving you at such a critical moment and not being able to help you anymore...In the future you will know someone...a person who will definitely awaken your feelings and melt your heart...who makes you happy and help you understand.
She said to smile slowly at her as she stopped treating her wound seeing that it was useless. Héctor watched this silently and without interrupting.
Mother: So, please...don't give up and continue, I have always been and will be proud of you, mom will always be with you.
She was suffering as she slowly died so Echidna reaches out to her mother to use a wind attack to end her, end her suffering.
A cruel and insensitive act for many, but for Echidna it was just not letting her already dying mother suffer more.
Hector: The world is so cruel that I want to cry, sometimes I wonder why I am forced to do such cruel things, this world really is cruel.
He said as little Echidna stands up from her spot to look at Hector with a dark look.
Echidna: Why...Why did you do it?
Hector: It's a shame... It's really repulsive, this world is so cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel but she deserved it.
He repeated while Echidna looks at the cloudy sky even with her eyes being covered by her white hair. He felt so helpless that he couldn't save her mother or her village.
Greed.
A Sin for many, but for her it was a desire, one that she would not let go of. She wanted the power and knowledge to save them all no matter what and avoid a scene like this. She had the talent and the intelligence, but she needed more, more, so much more.
These desires inside her, this greed grew without end and the Factor that was in her mother's study pulsed more strongly until it broke out of its prison going towards Echidna and without anyone noticing, it enters her body and joins her.
Echidna could feel it, how something moved inside her, in her soul and became one with her. Right there the "Witch of Greed" was born.
Hector stopped his speech when he sensed the disturbance in little Echidna's aura. She looked at him and slowly smiled.
Echidna: I know what I have to do.
Hector frowned and was preparing to send a gravity attack but Echidna raised her hand to the sky and then closed her fist and lowered it, when Hector looked he saw a large meteorite falling that Echidna had created, Echidna had used her Authority.
Echidna: I-hope-you-die.
She said as she used an Al Shamak to create a portal as the meteor falls.
Hector: No matter where you escape, Witch of Greed...I will follow you no matter what.
Echidna: I know.
She said to go through the portal and close it while the meteorite devastates the entire village and destroys everything around it causing a great earthquake.
It was not the time for their fight. She had to get knowledge so that this does not happen again. In her search for knowledge and ways to improve the authorities control of her, she thought of her mother.
Echidna: Find someone who makes me happy, right?
Now she only continued her path in solitude, being hunted by Hector. They had several encounters, becoming her nemesis.
No matter how many people she met, she didn't feel any of that flame. The witch friends filled her insides with a bit of that warmth but it wasn't what she was looking for.
She feels like she already met that person but maybe it's just her imagination but she dont remember. When she thinks about the great sage, she feels something but at the same time she doesn't feel anything, as if she had forgotten something important.
Roswaal and Beatrice weren't who she was looking for either. It was simply to satisfy her infinite curiosity.
No matter how many people she met, she never felt that flame. At this point she was already about to give up and dying reinforced that hopelessness.
Then that person she had been waiting for so much appeared.
She in her castle of dreams, where her soul was. She watched as a boy with snow-white hair and blue eyes shining like diamonds approached. She couldn't force him to the tea party, he entered of his own free will.
His aura was something she had never seen in her life. She was very curious about him, so she used her authority to see his life but in the end she couldn't see anything of his life.
Heilon: Echidna...
His voice caused something in the witch that she never expected, feelings jumped inside her and she acted like the innocent maiden, but he treated her like any other woman causing more of those feelings.
He didn't vomit when she saw her and she was treated as an equal. The more they talked, the more of those warm feelings grew inside her and seeing it deep in his eyes she could see it, she could see and feel his experience, his motivations, his determination, his perseverance. She could feel it all in his powerful aura and sharp eyes.
Someone with a greed equal to or greater than hers to save everyone just like her. Everything about him attracted her.
He had to be that 'person'.
He had gone to do the Trials and Echidna stayed there waiting for him since she promised she would return, she was very eager to talk to him again.
Echidna: Heilon Satsugai...That person is so fascinating.
Heilon: Echidna...I need all of you and I to make a contract.
He said offering his hand towards Echidna smiling but she only with a light blow moves Heilon's hand away to snap her fingers and create a large table with seats for everyone to sit.
Echidna: Let's talk first to see what you offer.
All the witches were forced to sit in their places except Satella who ended up approaching and took one of the chairs and slowly dragged it to Heilon's side and placed it there to sit next to him.
Everyone was sitting. The table where all the witches were, emanating a toxic aura for anyone who was normal and they all had the special quality of having long, pointed ears like his.
It couldn't be a coincidence that they all had it since Echidna didn't have them or so he believed since her ears were covered by her hair, it would be something that he would investigate later since it was a similar case when he grants his blessing that they get a quality from him and that It was his ears, shiny hair or marks like tattoos on his body.
For now he just looks at them all, analyzing them. Thanks to the Great Sage who made the existing 9 Factors multiply, he caused there to be more witches in this world. Something that simple caused a big change showing the effects of the butterfly effect.

Heilon feels Satella's presence at his side strongly. He had Satella herself at his side, the one who gave him the [Return By Death] or rather part of her Authority. He was happy? Nervous? He was both. Having this presence next to him was so unfamiliar but so familiar at the same time.
The fact that she took a chair and sat next to him was because she wanted to be with him or was she angry for him using [Return on Death] to his advantage? Did she want to prove something? The being most obsessed with Subaru was right next to him and she was not attacking him.
Heilon all this time thought that Satella might have somehow confused him with Subaru and that's why she said that she loved him, that it was a mistake and that when they saw each other face to face then that would change but here it was. But before he could continue thinking.
Satella: I love you...
She said as if it were nothing and that was like making Heilon's mind spin. It was impossible, it was impossible, it was impossible... all this time he was denying this, he couldn't accept her love, that love was not for him but for Subaru.
Time slowly seemed to stop and Heiko was behind Heilon.
Heiko: What's wrong, Heilon? Can't you accept that Satella loves you and not Subaru in this world?
He said with a smile as if mocking Heilon's existential and emotional crisis. All this time, Heilon was mentally preparing for this moment but upon recovering his memories of his past they changed his perspective. His mentality was different now.
Heilon: No, she can't love me...
Heiko: You can see the emotions with your eyes of the soul...you tried to ignore her love but that "I love you" made you see reality. She loves you.
Heilon: That's impossible! That is not true!
He said trying to refuse, he didn't know why it was so difficult for him but it was like an automatic response of his mind when rejecting someone's love. Heiko with a smile watched that the calculating Heilon that entered the sanctuary was now breaking.
Heiko: "No one will love you since you were only born to serve, you will not be loved"
He said repeating the words he once said to Dalon. Heilon couldn't help but widen his eyes when he understood what was happening. the threads inside him tightened his heart
Heiko: Now you understand...always, in your subconscious you were programmed to think that you will never be loved and to reject all love out of mistrust just to focus in your REAL mission.
Heilon slowly covers his face with his shaking hands.
Heiko: Tell me, Heilon...Do you want to get this happy ending because you want to or because you are programmed for it?
He said causing Heilon to tremble more. He wanted to deny it, but how could he? It was true that he was programmed to serve and always get the best result in exchange for his sanity. His mind could not grasp the fact of being loved since he was programmed to think like that.
Heiko: Do you have free will or have you always followed this programming...?
Heilon: Shut up! Be quiet! Be quiet!
He said while holding his head, gasping for air in his existential crisis. His heart was hurting and when he tries to hold his chest he feels the Unity in him, making the situation worse since the Unity was part of that life and a clear reminder of what he was.
Heiko: Relax.
He said seriously and Heilon looked at him seriously trying to calm his breathing.
Heiko: Take this situation for the better...whether it is subconscious programming or not, it no longer matters. You are doing the right thing and that is what should matter to you.
He said to try to calm him down and Heilon looks at him with that look of murderous intent.
Heilon: Heiko...You are certainly a son of a bitch.
He was upset because Heiko created an existential crisis for him and something that would stay in his mind for life. He still had not recovered and he wished he could recover Poker Mind. It was not the time to have these existential crises since he had work to do, later he would have time to deal with his feelings and internal conflicts so he sighs heavily and lightly hits his chest to look ahead and time returns to normal.
Heiko only moves with his hands crossed after adjusting Heilon's mind. He really wanted to see if this was a product of psychological programming or his own will, he wanted to set him on the right path.
Echidna: So he is that 'person'.
She said with a look, it would be quite annoying that Satella had penetrated all the defenses and was now in this place as if nothing had happened, except that she had lost total control of the Sanctuary and the other witches left of their own free will.
Satella even marked her place, sitting next to Heilon as if she belonged to him.
Heilon: That 'person'. I see that you know that Satella had someone.
Minerva: I didn't expect that person to come here and that it was you, although with your interactions with Echidna it should have been expected that you had something very special and even more so when you had part of the Envy Factor.
Lynx: It's about time something interesting happened here.
Heilon looked at the new, unknown witches. He was very curious about their stories but the aura they all had was equally dangerous. The pressure was a lot, but it didn't affect him, although he could feel it.
It was terrifying, but this is what he wanted and now he had to convince them all to make a contract with him to receive their help.
Azha: The Heilon boy wants a contract with us apparently.
Maia: I guess he really needs help if he is willing to make a contract with us.
The woman said with a playful smile. They all had their gaze on Heilon who had a neutral and calm expression. He had to be trustworthy to convince them or he would lose his chance.
Heilon: So...Did Satella tell you about that special person?
Solaris: Yes, Satella in her time before her...ahem, lack of control. She told us about this person that she loved and that had been taken away from her.
Heilon looked at Satella but she didn't flinch or looked back at him,
Heilon: Satella...Can I ask a few things?
She looked down as if it hurt her that he called her.
Heilon: Am I the person you really love? Or are you confusing me with someone?
She hugs him tightly to his suprises, causing Heilon to shiver, but he sees her great love and great sadness at the same time. He slowly reciprocates Satella's hug by feeling her in his hands, he never thought of doing this before but he doesn't dislike it.
On the contrary, he felt very good hugging her. As if he were complete. Satella puts her lips to his ear to whisper.
She wanted this for centuries. Tears began to roll down her cheeks, as she looked at the peaceful face of her beloved. She truly was happy, spending centuries apart, she longed to be with her loved one, comforting him when he was desperate, instead she had to remain sealed while she watched his suffering.
No matter how many times this scenario occurred, she was always happy to see him and have him in her arms again.
Satella: I love my beloved, Heilon Satsugai, not Natsuki Subaru.
Heilon's body began to tremble and his blood froze upon hearing that while Satella held him tighter to not let him separate or fall as Heilon lost strength in his legs as he hugged Satella tightly.
That was like a bucket of freezing water for him. She knew Subaru and said that she didn't love him but him, it was like hearing the worst blasphemy in the world.
Heilon: You...you...do you know who Subaru is?
She nodded silently as she settled him into his seat for her to sit down. Heilon had to remain stable since he did not want to show vulnerability to anyone.
Satella: It's not the time so please continue...
Heilon nods slightly holding his trembling hand to calm himself and sighs deeply to look back at the witches.
Heilon: Excuse my previous act...Me and Satella do have a relationship.
He said calmly now to put on a neutral look again to negotiate with them ignoring all the questions he had in his mind towards Satella.
Heilon: I'll tell you what I want. I want the power to repair this world, bring peace and create a happy and perfect ending for this world. I know I can achieve it with you by my side helping me.
Andromeda/Musca: He tells the truth.
They both said at the same time to look at each other and then look away. Heilon thinks that witches of truth and lies get along badly, but when seeing their auras there really is no negative emotion.
Aries: There is great determination in those words! I love it! I love it!
She said smiling and with hearts around her as Carina taps the table lightly.
Carina: You still have to answer some things, we only know a little about you from Echidna and it's not like you have given much information about yourself. I can't trust you.
Typhon: Dona has doubts about you so I'll make sure you're a good person! It doesn't bother you, does it, Tella?
Daphne: Will Tyu-Tyu judge Heirun? This will be interesting...even Dna-Dna will like it.
The Witch of Gluttony said while licking her lips and showing her sharp teeth. Satella just shakes her head giving Typhon permission since she knew the result. Typhon approaches Heilon and offers her hand with a big innocent smile.
MInerva: Just be careful!
Typhon: Okay, Nerva!
Heilon: Heh...I guess you can judge me.
He said smiling to take the little judge's hand. She used her Pride Authority.
Typhon: Sin can only be paid with pain.
System: An External influence from Typhon has been detected trying to interfere with the user. Do you want to use Lawbreaker?
-Yes or No.
Heilon allowed it expecting the pain of his sins or breaking down from guilt but in the end the pain never came.
Typhon: Sin is a cage from which you cannot escape.
But the cracks never reached his body to everyone's surprise that Heilon is free of sin and guilt. Even Heilon himself was a little surprised at himself although it is true that he does not feel guilty about anything, of what would he blame himself when all this was forced upon him and even more so when remembering the memories of his past.
He wanted to come to this world at will, but now he was only full of confusion and even more so after seeing the evidence of the present and future.
Everyone was still surprised that Heilon completely passed the test.
Typhon: Lon is a good person!
She said with a smile trusting Heilon. She only had to do this to trust him, making him laugh lightly.
Sehkmet: Typhon approved it...
Satella slowly approaches Heilon and takes his hand gently, concerned for him. Heilon could feel his own Envy factor throbbing inside him at Satella's presence. But he feels something inside Satella because of his high sensory affinity. Obviously the Envy Factor was inside her but there was another Factor that was not the Envy one.
When Heilon used [Observe] on Satella to see her second Factor. It was the Obsession Factor and it was born from the Envy Factor. Although the factors multiply, they remain the same, but for a new one to be born from another is quite surprising.
More and more he understand how the Factors work.
Satella: Are you okay, my beloved?
Heilon: I-I'm fine, I passed the test of the good guy and the bad guy.
Echidna: So, you know about the Typhon Authority...Well you're supposedly the Great Sage, what can I expect?
Although he knows the abilities of Carmilla, Typhon, Sekhmet, Minerva, Daphne. From Echidna he had to deduce it more than she herself told him her authority. The rest of them he had to use System Observe to see theirs stats and they were all around level 10,000 or even higher. They were similar to Reinhard and their authorities were just as terrifying as the original witches.
He will only say that if he gets all the factors. He will become an Omnipotent being or at least close to one. They had several genes of the same Factor inside them, just like him, also several authorities of the same Factor.
Heilon: Speaking of the Great Sage, do none of you remember the Great Sage?
Deva: As Echidna said, no one here remembers him directly...neither his face nor his real name and although all of us are related to him, we have no personal memories with him.
Heilon: Do you all know him?
Sagitta: Of course, he looked for us all and welcomed us... thanks to him we all know each other and meet. He had even welcomed Hector and Pandora herself in some point in the past.
The Witch of Order said calmly with her fingers crossed under her chin looking at Heilon.
Heilon: Thank you for answering me, Sagitta. Echidna, I still have some questions for you...What is your relationship with Hector and who is he really?
Echidna: I'll answer those questions if you answer some of mine...I want to know your relationship with Heilon.
The witch said pointing at Satella with a serious look. Since Heilon mentioned that he has the authority of envy, she was left with that question in her mind, when she saw that Satella herself came to her dream castle and sat next to Heilon and even hugged him, she was left with that doubt.
Heilon looked at Satella also wanting to listen to her. He knew that when he traveled from his world to this one, his first time was not the capital but much earlier and that his existence caused all these detours and alterations in history.
Heiko had said that he had more than 3000 years in his history, plus it was not the first time he was linked to the Sistemo and that he is known as the Great Sage by the Divine Dragon.
Satella slowly gets up from her spot to speak.
Satella: I love Heilon Satsugai, he is the Great Sage who was forgotten by the world and even forgot his own life...But he is the person who saved me, gave me a purpose, who took care of me and protected me.
She looked at Heilon and brought her hands closer to him to take his cheeks so he could look at her.
Satella: I love you because you gave me light, it was you who held my hand and showed me how beautiful the outside world is. At night, when I felt alone and scared, you always held my hand and never let me go. And when I was alone, you hugged me and told me that I was not alone...that's why you are my everything.
Andromeda/Musca: What she says is true.
CRACK
Heilon listens to this attentively as he felt something in his mind crack more. He really is like the black hole Abell and he is eating the stars of Pleiades, the 7 sisters or rather, Subaru.
He ate it and took his place in this story. He felt like an imposter and upon thinking more closely he remembered his trip to the future test. The voices that accused him non-stop.
That was...
They called him Impostor. That he should disappear. That he shouldn't be here.
The memories of possible futures all led to the same thing. His death, his elimination. Everything was making sense and his mental state was getting worse and everyone could see it in his eyes that they were lost in nothingness but Echidna asks again.
Echidna: It's interesting what you say...What you say is that we all lost our memories of the Great Sage and even the Great Sage himself lost his memories but how come you didn't lose them and how were they lost?
Minerva: Echidna! You are being very insensitive right now! Didn't you see that Heilon was going through a critical moment!?
She said angrily as she stomped her feet causing an earthquake in that dimension while Echidna continued with a smile wanting to satisfy her curiosity, but Satella just hugged Heilon gently to calm him down and get him out of his mental state.
Satella: I won't answer that, even if I wanted to say it...it's not the time and if I say it maybe she'll come.
They all understood who Satella was referring to.
Pandora.
Echidna: Since all this is related to her...I had to wait, her Authority would be one of the things capable of doing something like that, now my last question is what is the ability of your authority of envy. You have taught me Lust but never Envy.
Heilon slowly looks at Echidna and then at Satella.
Heilon: Please...let me tell them, I will have a contract with them and you so they will know either way.
Satella lowered her head but slowly nodded.
Heilon: This is a secret that will stay with us...I will trust you completely. I call my Authority of Envy [Return By Death]. Every time I die, I go back in time. I can also use the authorities of former users of the Factors.
Heilon could feel how the shadows around Satella began to Shake. She was having an internal struggle with the other part of her so before it gets worse, Heilon hugs her to calm her down.
Echidna, for her part, opens her eyes and her smile increases as she thinks about the infinite possibilities with that Authority. She couldn't help but be excited at the thought of having Heilon for herself and having that Authority but all the witches up to Satella looked at her with a sharp look making her return to her innocent smile.
Heilon: I already answered your question...Now you answer mine.
He said invoking [Leviathan] to make sure what he says is true but Andromeda and Musca raised their hand to stop him.
Electra: Don't worry, Heilon...they'll make sure you tell the truth.
Heilon sighs and makes Leviathan disappear to listen to her carefully.
Echidna: Hector is a demi-human who suffered a lot of discrimination for being a demi-human, being treated like a clown in his village and treated badly until he was filled with so much sadness and depression that he became the perfect experiment for my Mother, she experimented with him with the Melancholy Factor until the Authority is transplanted.
She said to calmly drink her tea.
Echidna: My mother was not a saint but she regretted what she did to achieve progress. When she returned, Hector had already escaped thanks to his new powers and due to an attack by the witch hunters, she later learned that he joined the witch hunters.
Heilon listened to this new information seriously.
Echidna: Some time later he attacked my village and killed my mother out of revenge, I managed to escape, but since then he has been following me as my archenemy. Whenever we fought there were always natural disasters...our enmity turned into rivalry and then something else. He became Pandora's right hand and her ultimate weapon until that day.
She said referring to the Sanctuary.
Echidna: We were both already tired from so much fighting, but that was him without a purpose? The anger in him turned...love or rather obsession. I admit that I had affection for him but I was also tired of our daily battles so I created the Sanctuary, my final attack to determine a winner.
Heilon: A Sanctuary capable of imprisoning Demihumans for a demihuman, ironic.
Echidna: Mhm... He arrived and I had to do what I had to do. With the help of Beatrice, Roswaal, Ryuzu and even Clind i was able to end our eternal war.
Heilon: These witch hunters... do they still exist?
Echidna: The era of the witch ended 4 centuries ago...there are no witches anymore or at least there are almost none for what i know. So over time the witch hunters also disappeared and the last one I know of is Clind.
Heilon: Clind...He has the Authority of Melancholy?
He ask since in the EX novels, Clind used an unknown authority who managed the space and more than said the word Melancholy.
Echidna: That's right... it's because the Witch of Melancholy himself is sealed inside him. Hector's authority allows him to manipulate space and with it gravity, but he is a great magic user. He is someone in the same category of destructive as Reid Astrea.
Heilon: Did you manage to seal it...inside Clind? So if Clind dies.
Echidna: No, he will not be freed but will die alongside Clind...the heart seal is a seal created by the Great Sage or rather "you" before losing your memories. You can seal someone inside you and be able to use their power.
Heilon: Thanks for answering me. My last question is do you know anything about the Satsugai Clan?
Satella: No.
Heilon get surprised when Satella interrupts him. He slowly turns to look at her. Satella just turns to look back at him.
Satella: Heilon...This is a sensitive topic that you should discover for yourself when you recover your memories.
Heilon: So, I am really related to that ancient Clan...
This left him thoughtful and confused since he was using a name that was not his and was related to a clan, but it was impossible...unless after the trip to his world he had reincarnated instead of appearing.
That would explain why its appearance would be somewhat different from the original.
Heilon: I understand...if you say so then I will trust you. Well, I'll change my question... Do you also have pointy ears like mine?
Echidna opens her eyes at this question to sigh deeply, but she had the choice to lie and look bad or tell the truth.
Echidna: Yes.
She said coldly to move her hair showing her pointed ears like everyone else.
Echidna: I don't remember how I got them as well, but I know it was from the Great Sage.
Heilon: I understand, yes...I have a naming ability that when I give a name, I give a divine blessing to that person and the qualities they get are always those pointy ears like mine and longer, shinier hair, sometimes a color mark on your face or body...specifically in the back.
He said remembering that Puck mentioned that Emilia had a tear-shaped mark on her back, deducing that it was the blessing he gave her. Echidna hears this only to hide her ears knowing that she did have a mark on her back along with all of hers but she didn't say it.
Heilon: So, with that answered... Can we make the contract?
Diya: Why do you really want to make a contract with us...You must know that all of us have done horrible things in our lives and making a contract with us is the same as making a pact with the devil.
Heilon: I can see and feel that you really aren't bad...Sure, you have done horrible things, but none with a bad intention. I know that you want to redeem yourselves from your past and that is why I want your help... Helping me get the happy ending is a way for you to redeem the damage you did in the past.
Adhara: It is true that we have our regrets, but it is still early to trust you even if you have passed the test of little Typhon...
Heilon: Then why don't we do something...You don't know about me and I don't know about most of you so why not share it? Teach me your lives and I'll show them mine.
He said smiling with confidence as he was willing to show them, his origin in exchange for seeing hers and thus creating a bond of trust.
Echidna could take this opportunity to learn more about Heilon but in exchange she had to teach her own life. The others were considering it since if they saw Heilon's past then they could understand it, but they should show theirs, it was only fair.
Carmilla: I-I think... It is a good idea.
She said timidly, but others were doubtful, but they accepted in the end. Heilon had control of this dimension thanks to the System so he could use it to link memories of him.
Heilon: Everyone who puts their hand on the table, we will share our past.
He said to put his hand on the table while everyone put their hand on the table except Satella. They will teach what they want to teach. Heilon was going to hide the fact that this world was fiction in his world.
All the witches think about it for a while, but they can't help it since for some reason they feel a deep but unknown familiarity with the one who made them uncomfortable and they wanted to know more. Maybe it's because he was previously the Great Sage, but they barely have any memories of him.
Heilon: Very well, in 3...2...1.
A light covers them all, taking them into a world of their memories.

Eventually, she realized that crying wouldn't solve anything and she decided to train herself to gain enough power to deter fights, although that still didn't change anything. As she fought, she came to understand that she had been crying out of rage and not sadness, which caused her to start hitting people, which caused her wounds to heal.
From that moment on, she traveled the world to heal people wherever she found people in need. Many nations sent troops after her, trying to capture or defeat her, but no one was able to successfully trap her.

Sehkmet: Who are you? You're not normal at all so...if you make a false move...I'll finish you off.
She said between pauses to sigh.

[Hate]
"The Witch of Hate, Lynx, who in search of stopping a curse sought powers darker than the night, becoming a monster herself after altering the teachings of the great Sage"
The story of a sorceress who would become the witch of hate. once-promising woman whose decision led her down a treacherous path.
Lynx was a girl with dark blue hair and blood red eyes who was born in a humble village nestled deep in a dense forest. From a young age, she showed an aptitude for magic that surpassed her peers. The village revered the wizard Eldric, a wise and benevolent wizard who had long protected the village from the curses that plagued the land. Under Eldric's tutelage, Lynx's powers grew and she became known as the "Bright Wizard" for her dazzling displays of light magic.
One fateful day, a terrible curse fell on the town. Crops withered and people were getting sick. Animals perished and darkness enveloped the once vibrant land. Panic spread like wildfire and the villagers turned to Lynx, their beacon of hope. Desperate to save her home and her loved ones, Lynx delved into the teachings of her mentor in search of a solution. But she didn't find anything that could break the curse with her current magic.
Consumed by despair and a growing terror at losing her people, Lynx embarked on a dangerous journey beyond the confines of her village. She ventured out in search of the evil spirit that cursed her land, upon finding it she put an end to her spirit but with it the curse did not go away from her. In her quest to save the village from her, she Lynx sought powers darker than the night itself to break the curse.
She knew that if she practiced black magic she would be classified as a witch but it was either that or letting her people fall to the curse so she made a difficult decision and did it.
Undeterred by the warning, Lynx became a user of black magic. The dark energy coursed through her veins, transforming her into a Witch. With her new powers, she returned to her village and unleashed her wrath on the curse. The heavens opened and a storm of pure hatred was unleashed.
But when the curse was shattered, the villagers witnessed the monstrous transformation of their once beloved Bright Mage. Her eyes glowed with an eerie crimson light, her skin was as pale as death, and her laughter resonated with a sinister tone. Fearful of what she had become, the villagers drove her out and threw her into the unforgiving desert.
Lynx felt betrayed by her own family. She understood that she was a witch and that she was bad but at least she would have liked to receive a thank you. She had sacrificed herself for them but this was her reward. Rejection and exile.
Hate?
That's what she felt. She felt a lot of anger and hatred inside her against everyone, against the evil spirits, against her village, against herself. Maybe if she had been more patient she would have found another way but nothing mattered anymore.
Only hatred remained inside her towards everyone. Did she want revenge? Partly yes and she tried to ignore it but it was a totally pure feeling inside her until she felt something enter her and connect with her to become one. A black liquid comes out from underneath her and spreads around her, but when this liquid touched the trees around her, it swallowed them and then some plant monsters came out of the liquid.
Lynx could sense that she connected with these creatures and was one step away from commanding them to destroy the village, but a person put the tip of a staff in her hand, stopping her.
Sage: I think that would not be a good idea, you will regret doing this...
She looked to her side, surprised that she hadn't noticed the man with a big hat that looked like a Witch. His face was blurry and his voice was deep.
Lynx: W-Who are you?
Hankook: It seems that the Hate Factor has chosen you...You will come with me and I will guide you, I will take care of you. I promise.

In the picturesque village of Serenwood, nestled between hills and a sparkling river, lived a woman named Andromeda. She is a woman with short black hair and golden eyes with white servant horns on her head, being a semi-human. She was famous throughout the place not only for the beauty of her but also for the charming tales of her. Her eyes shone like sapphires and her voice was a melody that could calm even the most restless heart of hers. But it wasn't her appearance or her voice that earned her a place in the town's history; It was her gift for telling stories.
Andromeda was known as the Fairy of Lies, a title she had earned for her incredible ability to weave intricate and captivating stories that transported listeners to other worlds even if they were lies. Her tales were filled with fantastic creatures, daring heroes, and epic adventures. People from all over would gather at Serenwood to hear her speak and, for a brief moment, forget the troubles of her lives as they were swept into the world of Andromeda's stories.
Andromeda's gift was not just a form of entertainment; It was her escape from a reality that had been cruel to her. She had endured a difficult childhood, marked by loss and hardship. Her parents died when she was young and she was raised by a distant and cruel aunt. Her beauty had brought him no joy, as she had only attracted the attention of men who sought to possess her rather than love her. Andromeda's stories became her refuge, a way to escape the pain and loneliness of her life.
As the years passed, Andromeda's narrative became even more charming and her lies more convincing. She began to notice that his stories had a peculiar effect on those who heard them. People would become so fascinated by her stories that they would get lost in the world she created, forgetting her own problems and responsibilities. They would abandon their jobs, their families, and their duties to listen to her stories day and night.

But as the village's fields fell fallow and her houses became empty, the consequences of her gift became clear. The once thriving community of Serenwood began to wither. Crops rotted in the fields and families were devastated by abandonment.
Andromeda's lies had created a beautiful but empty dream world that had trapped the villagers. She had unintentionally stolen reality from them, trapping them in an endless fantasy. She realized that her gift of dreams, which had once been a source of comfort, had become a curse, a nightmare.
She did not know how her voice and her stories had become so destructive, so, determined, Andromeda embarked on a journey to seek the wisdom of people who knew about this magic and the only ones who could explain it were the feared witches, a group lived on the top of a distant mountain. A witch, with her eternal wisdom, revealed to Andromeda that her power comes from a Witch Factor and that if she wants to avoid the effect of her power, she must control it.
So the witch taught Andromeda to control her power and upon returning to Serenwood, Andromeda appeared before her audience in a trance and confessed the nature of her gift: the lies that had trapped them all in a beautiful but false reality. she trusted them but she never expected them to try to burn her because she had the power of a witch, seeing the hate on their faces towards her.
In the end she used her Authority to put everyone to sleep in a nice false dream that turned into a nightmare and she escaped from the village forever. now traveling alone.
While she was in a bar eating with a cloak on, someone sits next to her and gets serious thinking that he could be a witch hunter but when she looks, she recognizes him. This boy lowers his big hat a little as a sign of respect.
His blurry face and deep voice spoke.

Carina was born in a quiet town located between imposing mountains and cliffs. Her family was known for her kindness and generosity, spreading warmth throughout the community. Carina's life was idyllic until one fateful night when a beast descended on her village.
The beast was a powerful being from the depths of the abyss, driven by an insatiable hunger for destruction. He murdered Carina's family before her very eyes, leaving her an orphan, the only survivor of the massacre. As she stood amid the ruins of her home, consumed by pain and rage, a darkness welled up within her.
Determined to avenge her family and rid the world of the monstrous demon, Carina embarked on a treacherous path. She sought forbidden knowledge, delving into the darkest corners of the arcane arts to gain unimaginable power. Her heart grew cold and her soul was contaminated by the thirst for revenge.
As she mastered the dark arts, Carina became a formidable force, capable of creating a sealed destiny of death without knowing that in her quest for power she became one with the Murder Factor.

[Vice]
"The Witch of Vice, Hadar, whose vice became so great that she was feared by the world because of how much she could take and want more"
In the land of Eldoria there lived a young girl who was a sorceress named Hadar. She was a girl with colored skin and white hair along with emerald green eyes of immense power, but it was not the traditional forms of magic that made her feared and notorious: it was her insatiable appetite for vices of all kinds.
Hadar was born into a humble family, but she was always attracted to the allure of excess. As she grew older, her desires became insatiable and she indulged in every vice that came her way. She reveled in gluttony and indulged in feasts that could feed a small army. She gambled recklessly, winning great fortunes only to squander them on a whim. She embraced all forms of debauchery and excess, always seeking more pleasure, more excitement, more of everything.
Word of Hadar's insatiable vices spread throughout the kingdom and his name became synonymous with decadence and excess. People whispered stories about his wild parties that lasted for days, about the mountains of wealth he had acquired and then carelessly discarded, and about the countless hearts he had broken with his irresistible charm.
But as her reputation grew, so did the fear and resentment of those around her. The kingdom was suffering and the people blamed Hadar for its woes. The economy was in ruins, families were torn apart by addiction to their lavish parties, and their insatiable greed had led to scarcity and poverty.
One day, a council of wise elders met to discuss the threat Hadar posed to the kingdom. They came to the conclusion that his vices had grown so great that they had the power to bring about the fall of the kingdom. They decided that something had to be done to curb their insatiable appetite for excess.
The council was aided by a renowned sage, Elder Elyon, known for his wisdom and ability to counsel even the most misguided souls. Elder Elyon embarked on a journey to confront Hadar and convince her to change her ways before it was too late.
When he arrived at Hadar's opulent mansion, he found her surrounded by a crowd of gambling people, lost in an endless party. He approached her, her demeanor calm and compassionate. He spoke of the suffering that had been caused by her vices, the broken families, and the ruined kingdom.
But what no one knew was that Hadar was doing this for several reasons. He really wanted to end this kingdom because of what they did to his family. His family was humble due to a tragic past that put them in that situation since their family in the past was important and even of a noble lineage but the kingdom to hide a secret, they made all the blame fall on their family and they were expelled from the royalty.
So Hadar decided that she would get all the wealth of the kingdom to throw away for vice. Thus he would destroy the economy of the kingdom from within and so it was. once she did it and she became an enemy of the kingdom. Her chaos reigned over her without realizing that she had the Vice factor and with it she ended that greedy and selfish kingdom.
Once free and away from everything. she was found by that person who would help her.

[Insanity]
"The Witch of Insanity, Fornax, the one who invaded the world of nightmares and dreams to seek the freedom that she so desired"
In the deep mountains, there existed a mysterious and enigmatic figure. She had a unique power that allowed her to cross the limit of the mind and have multiple consciousnesses.
Fornax's life had always been a series of suffocating limitations. She had grown up in a small, isolated town where the boundaries of conformity were strictly enforced. Her dreams were seen as eccentricities, and her wild imagination was considered madness by the closed-minded villagers. Fornax longed for freedom, a world where she could be herself without judgment or restrictions.
One night, when the moons were ruling the night, Fornax discovered a hidden portal in her dreams. it called to her, promising her the freedom she had always longed for. Without hesitation, she stepped through the gleaming door, leaving behind the mundane world she had known. In the dream realm, Fornax's powers grew exponentially and she gained a Sin Factor.
She could shape the world around her, conjuring landscapes and creatures with the mere power of her thoughts, albeit an illusion. She reveled in her newfound freedom, creating fantastic realms where her imagination knew no limits. In this dream world, she was no longer bound by the judgments of others and her madness was celebrated as creativity.
But as the years passed, Fornax's isolation became evident. She was the only inhabitant of this dream world and her solitude became as vast and endless as the landscapes she conjured. Fornax had sought freedom from the limitations of her old life, but she had exchanged it for a different form of captivity: solitude.
Desperate for company, Fornax attempted to create dream beings to keep her company, but they were mere ghosts, soulless and empty. Her loneliness began to manifest as true madness, as the boundary between her dreams and reality blurred. She could no longer distinguish between the two worlds and her sanity unraveled like a frayed tapestry.
In his madness, Fornax attempted to escape from the dream world, but the portal he had entered through had disappeared. She was trapped, an eternal prisoner of her own making. Her once vibrant dreams had become an endless nightmare and she couldn't wake up from it.
In the mundane world, Fornax's disappearance became a haunting legend, a whispered warning among the villagers about the cost of pursuing one's desires too recklessly. Her name came to symbolize not only madness but also the longing for freedom that could lead us down a path of isolation and despair.
And so, in the world of dreams, Fornax remained, an eternal wanderer in her own mind, forever seeking the freedom she had longed for, but finding only madness and loneliness. Her story served as a reminder that true freedom, in its purest form, must be balanced with connection and purpose to avoid getting lost in the depths of one's desires.
But her nightmare ended when the dream world broke and someone entered it to the surprise of Fornax who when she looks sees a man approaching her while she was sitting on a throne in her imaginary world.
Fornax: You...how could you? How could you enter this world?
Hankook: It seems that the Insanity Factor has chosen you...You will leave this place with me and I will guide you and help you, I promise.

"The Witch of Guilt, Ara, one who took the suffering of everyone around her to cause misfortune by turning everyone around her into easy targets for fate"
In a quiet town located between hills and a serene river, there lived a woman named Ara, who as a small hybrid between Oni and ogre who possessed a massive amount of magic and at a young age obtained the Guilt Factor after causing the death of her parents. after attracting monsters with her enormous amount of mana and even at that young age she felt the guilt of such a tragedy.
Ara had the unique ability to absorb the suffering and guilt of those around her and, in return, could channel that anguish into misfortune for others.
Ara suffered from a curse that her mana attracts evil, one that had been passed down from generation to generation in her family. It was a burden she had inherited from her ancestors and had come to accept as her destiny. From a young age, he realized his power to take on the guilt and suffering of those around him. She believed that she was protecting the village from pain from her, but in doing so, she unknowingly caused harm to others.
As Ara's powers grew, so did her isolation. She could no longer form meaningful connections with anyone, because the moment she did, her burdens became his. His existence became a paradox of altruism and malevolence. The villagers began to notice that misfortune seemed to follow Ara wherever she went. Crops failed, livestock became ill, and accidents plagued those who crossed their path.
Despite her best intentions, Ara became an outcast, feared and rejected by the very people she had tried to protect. The weight of her guilt weighed heavily on her shoulders, because she had caused suffering by trying to alleviate it. In her loneliness, she discovered that she could no longer distinguish between the guilt she had assumed and her own feelings of remorse.
One day, as the village faced a grave crisis, Ara made a heartbreaking decision. He could no longer bear the guilt and suffering he had caused to his loved ones. She chose to leave the village, hoping that by doing so she would free them from the misfortune that seemed to follow her like a shadow.
Alone and burdened by her own guilt, Ara wandered the world, searching for a way to rid herself of the curse that had defined her existence. She encountered clerics, powerful sorcerers, and ancient spirits, all of whom were unable to help her. They could feel her deep suffering within her, but none of them could offer a solution just by telling them that her misfortune came from a Factor.
As the years passed, Ara's powers increased and her curse became heavier. The guilt she had absorbed from others about her had become a part of her, turning her into a tormented soul. She had become the embodiment of the suffering that she had once tried to protect her loved ones from.
One day, as Ara stood on a desolate cliff overlooking a turbulent sea, she made a final, desperate plea to the heavens to release her from her curse. At that moment, a powerful gust of wind surrounded her and a voice of hers whispered in her ear: "To free yourself, you must forgive yourself."
Tears welled up in Ara's eyes as she realized the truth of those words. She was so consumed with guilt over her actions that she never forgave herself for the suffering she had caused. With great effort, she Ara began to let go of her guilt, little by little, until the weight on her heart began to ease.
Hankook: Likewise...
Said a man who approaches her. Ara's curse wasn't completely gone but she could break it. When she looked with her eyes for the owner of that voice she saw him. to the Great Sage.
Hankook: The Guilt Factor has chosen you...You must accept it and move on, I will guide you and free you, I promise.
He said offering his hand towards her who with eyes full of tears takes it. She accepted the path of redemption and self-acceptance.

[Treachery]
"The Witch of Betrayal, Adhara, the most beloved of her land until she showed her true colors when she discovered the truth of the world, causing discontent in the world"
Once upon a time, in the peaceful and prosperous kingdom of Doia, there lived a woman named Adhara. She was known far and wide as the most beloved figure in the entire place. Her lovely garden was a sanctuary of beauty and tranquility, where colorful flowers bloomed all year round and rare creatures roamed freely. The people of Doria worshiped Adhara for her kindness, generosity, and seemingly unwavering love for her homeland.
Adhara had lived in Doria for as long as anyone could remember, but her origins remained a mystery. Some said she had been born in the heart of the enchanted forest, while others believed she had come from a distant kingdom, seeking refuge in Doria.
Regardless of her origins, Adhara's presence had always been a source of comfort and joy to the inhabitants of the kingdom.
As the years passed, rumors of discontent began to circulate throughout the country. Rumors spread that Adhara had discovered a dark truth about Doria. something that had shattered her unbreakable love for Doria. People noticed that her once cheerful demeanor had become somber and that her garden had lost its shine. Instead of caring for her magical flora and fauna, she spent her days locked in her cabin, brewing mysterious potions and spells.
One fateful night, Adhara emerged from his seclusion and gathered the people of Doria in the central plaza. She stood in front of them, her eyes filled with sadness and disappointment. "My dear friends," she began with a trembling voice, "I have discovered a truth that I can no longer ignore. Our beloved kingdom prospers at the expense of others. The prosperity of Doria comes from the suffering of the neighboring lands. We have taken more than our share righteous, and has defiled our once pure kingdom"
The people of Doria were stunned. They couldn't believe what they heard. Adhara, their beloved protector, accused them of wrongdoing. Her revelation sparked outrage and division among citizens. Some supported her, acknowledging the harsh truth she had revealed, while others vehemently denied any wrongdoing and defended the kingdom's way of life. As the rift deepened, Adhara became a symbol of betrayal to some and a hero to others. Doria was no longer the harmonious land she once was.
Riots broke out, friendships were shattered, and the unity of the kingdom crumbled. In the midst of the chaos, Adhara retreated to her garden, seeking solace among her only remaining friends: the magical creatures that had once thrived under her care. She felt the weight of her revelation and the consequences of her actions. Loneliness took hold of her heart when the kingdom turned its back on her.
As time passed, the people of Doria realized the truth in Adhara's words. They began to make amends, seeking to heal the wounds caused by their greed and indifference. But Adhara remained in her garden, isolated and alone, her status a beloved forever tainted by the revelation that had shattered Doria. She had paid a high price for exposing the truth and betraying her love for her country. The Witch of Treachery, Adhara, lived her days in solitude, a tragic figure who had sacrificed her own happiness for a better world.
Hankook: You shouldn't be here alone...locked up forever, Adhara.
Said a figure entering the garden while the magical animals climbed on it while he caressed them. Adahara is surprised, but tries to control her feelings since a while ago she received her Factor and when she loses control of her feelings she accidentally activates it, but this man was not affected and a barrier protected the animals so that it did not affect them either.
Adhara: You have broken through my magical defenses...My Authority. It does not affect you? You have totally repelled it.
Hankook: The Treachery Factor has chosen you...I had come to look for you and guide you, to take you out of your darkness...You are not alone, I promise you.

In a dark and mysterious Tribe, lived a powerful and enigmatic Nun named Rasala. She was known throughout the world as the Witch of Temptation, creator of legends and myths that aroused fear and desire in the hearts of those who heard her stories. Rasala's stories were not ordinary stories; They were woven with magic and dark enchantments that had the power to seduce even the most virtuous souls.
It was to entertain the minors of his tribe and teach them through legends and myths.
Rasala herself was an intriguing figure and her true origins were shrouded in secrecy, even though she was the purest girl in the tribe. Some believed that she had been born from the shadows themselves, while others thought that she was a fallen angel who had been banished from the heavens by his tempting ways. Regardless of her origins, Rasala's power was undeniable and her stories had the ability to captivate and enthrall.
In the turbulent times in which Rasala lived, the former Witch of Temptation had come to power. She spread her power throughout those lands, turning friends against friends and family against family. The evil influence of the Witch of Temptation was unparalleled and there seemed to be no hope for the tribe.
Rasala, however, saw an opportunity amidst the chaos. She decided to use her sacred gift to combat the evil of the Witch of Temptation.
As the stories of Rasala gained popularity, the Witch of Temptation became increasingly angrier. She saw Rasala as a threat to her hold on the hearts of the people. The two engaged in a battle of wits and incantations, each trying to outdo the other in their quest for control.
The conflict between Rasala and the Witch of Temptation escalated to a climax on a moonless night. In a final confrontation, Rasala unleashed the most powerful miracle on her. The power of the miracle was so overwhelming that she forever banished the Witch of Temptation from those lands.
But Rasala's victory came at a great cost. The dark magic she had used to force miracles to happen had taken its toll on her and she became the new user of the Temptation Factor. She had become a prisoner of her own temptations, forever tormented by the stories and miracles she had concocted. As the tribe celebrated their new freedom from the Witch of Temptation, Rasala retreated into the shadows, burdened by the knowledge that she too was a victim of her own powers.
Alone and tormented by the temptations that had defined her existence, Rasala faded into darkness. Her name became a mere whisper in the tribe's legends. And in the end, she was left to wander the dark corners of her kingdom, a solitary figure forever tormented by the stories she had created and her own power.
But that loneliness didn't last when she was found by a person who silenced the whispers of her mind with his mere presence.

[Despair]
"The Witch of Despair, Irena, enemy of the heroes who managed to make Reid Astrea himself retreat after getting in the way with his life"
In the land of Teronia, where heroes and legends were born, there existed a witch called Irena, known to no one. Unlike typical witches of dark intentions, Irena's motivations were unusual: she believed that she could save the world by plunging it into fear/despair.
It was kind of silly, but who would dare cause chaos if they were afraid of the consequences, right?
Irena's story began when she was a girl living in a small town on the outskirts of Teronia. She witnessed the suffering and injustices that plagued the world and she believed that the only way to bring about true change was to make people confront the harsh realities of life. She saw hope as a fleeting illusion, preventing humanity from recognizing the depth of its problems.
As she grew older, Irena delved deeper into the forbidden arts of magic, seeking to create a potion that would spread despair and pain throughout the world. Her ultimate goal was to force people to confront their own weaknesses and injustices and motivate them to act for the greater good.
The news of Irena's dark ambitions reached the ears of Reid Astrea, known for being the saint of the sword and of immeasurable power that protects the world from all threats, even though he is an alcoholic and womanizer. Reid was determined to stop Irena and prevent her from spreading despair. He sees Irena as a total threat.
Reid confronted Irena in a section of the forest, where she had prepared her best tricks to fight the hero, but with her Authority at her side she felt invincible. The crash of it was legendary, a battle between hope and despair. Irena's magic was formidable and her Authority waved waves of desperation that threatened to engulf Reid. However, Reid's determination and his unwavering faith with his legendary sword allowed him to stand his ground.
As the battle continued, Reid's words began to penetrate Irena's heart. She spoke about the importance of hope, the capacity for change and redemption that exists in every soul, even if it was in a very rude way. Little by little, Irena began to doubt the path she had chosen. She realized that spreading despair, even with good intentions, was not the answer. In a moment of clarity, Irena stopped her attack and fell to her knees. She confessed her desire to save the world, but she admitted that her methods had been wrong. She saw the error of her ways and the destruction she had caused.
Reid, recognizing the sincerity of Irena's words, more than managed to make him back down and if they continued he didn't know what could happen so he offered her a chance at redemption. Together, they worked to reverse the effects of her authority and restore hope to those lands. As they traveled together, Irena used her magic to heal and uplift those who had been affected by her despair.
Over time. She dedicated herself to helping the people of Teronia, using her unique abilities to repair the world she had once attempted to damage.
In the end, Irena and Reid became allies. Reid took her to his friend who asked him to bring Irena if he could convince her.
Reid: And here it is.
He said sarcastically while drinking from his sake bottle while a man in a wizard hat approaches the witch.
Hankook: Nice to meet you, Irena...The Despair Factor has chosen you so I am willing to guide you on the right path and I will help you, I promise.

In the kingdom of Veridalia, there once lived a witch named Natasha who was followed by witch hunters.

As Natasha's powers grew, so did her acts of cruelty. She targeted those who had wronged her, unleashing curses that brought suffering and despair to her tormentors.

Over time, Natasha decided to stop her fighting and hid from the world, using her powers not to harm but to help the few she can without drawing attention to herself.
Natasha couldn't escape the haunting memories of her past. She knew that she could never fully make amends for the cruelty she had unleashed, and that knowledge weighed heavily on her heart.
In the end, Natasha lived an isolated life, always tormented by the consequences of her actions. She had tried to show the world the true meaning of cruelty, but she had ultimately chosen a path of redemption and compassion. And so, the Witch of Cruelty, Natasha, remained alone, forever tormented by her past as she sought to heal the world she had once sought to harm.

Solaris confessed that her intention had been to challenge people and help them grow, but she had gone too far. She offered her guidance to help repair the damage caused by her anomalies and restore peace, although she would never remove the dungeons.
Reluctantly, people agreed to work with Solaris. Together, they embarked on a journey to reverse the chaos she had unleashed.
As the chaos gradually subsided, Arkenia which was the most affected small kingdom began to heal. People who had once seen Solaris as her tormentor now recognized the depth of her remorse and the lessons they had learned through adversity.
Despite her efforts to make amends, Solaris was never able to fully escape blame for the destruction she had caused. Her intention was to test mortals and help them grow, but her actions had left scars on the world and on her own conscience.
In the end, Solaris lived a lonely life, always tormented by the consequences of her actions. She had tried to help the world by defying mortals, but had damaged it in the process.

These illnesses were insidious and unpredictable, affecting both those who sought their help and those who had never crossed their paths. Nihal was horrified to witness the unintended consequences of her actions. The very illnesses she had tried to fight were now laced with curses that caused pain and suffering beyond imagination.

Nashira was a true embodiment of modesty and altruism, and she believed in the power of contentment and simple living. Her life's mission was to help the people of Eldervale find happiness in what they had, rather than constantly striving for more.
Nashira's journey into the world of humility began in her youth, when she witnessed the insatiable desire for wealth and power that consumed those around her. The people of Eldervale were often plagued with envy and discontent, always longing for something more. Nashira knew that this unquenchable thirst for more was causing pain and suffering, and she set out to counteract it.

"The Witch of Generosity, Diya, who with her power fulfilled small wishes out of generosity to those she saw worthy until the betrayal of greed became reality"
In the enchanting land of Lumaria, where kindness and generosity were highly valued, there lived a beautiful woman named Diya who was known for her boundless compassion and her unique ability to grant small wishes out of sheer generosity towards those she deemed worthy. Her magic was a beacon of hope and happiness in Lumaria.
Diya's journey began in her childhood, when she witnessed the suffering of the less fortunate. He saw how a simple act of kindness or a fulfilled wish could bring immense joy to someone's life. From that day on, his mission was to spread happiness and grant wishes to those in need.
As Diya grew, her magical abilities flourished. She developed the power to grant small wishes without being conscious, whether it was a child's longing for her favorite toy, a villager's need for a bountiful harvest, or a traveler's desire for safe travel. Diya's acts of generosity became legendary and she was celebrated throughout Lumaria as a symbol of compassion and altruism.
For years, Lumaria prospered thanks to Diya's benevolence. People lived in harmony, knowing that if they ever faced difficulties or wanted something meaningful, Diya would be there to help. Her generosity became an integral part of the kingdom's culture, fostering a sense of unity and goodwill among its inhabitants.
However, as time passed, a sense of entitlement began to take root in the hearts of some in Lumaria. They saw Diya's power as an unlimited resource and their desires became increasingly extravagant. Greed and jealousy began to seep into the once harmonious kingdom.
One fateful day, a group of individuals with insatiable desires approached Diya. They demanded that she fulfill their extravagant wishes, believing that her generosity knew no bounds. Diya, who had always followed her heart and intuition when granting wishes, saw the greed in her heart and hesitated.
The leaders of the group, driven by their desires, turned against Diya. She was accused of withholding magic from her and betraying the same generosity that had made her loved. In her anger and greed, they attempted to seize her powers by force while accusing her of being a witch.
Diya, who had always believed that her magic should be shared voluntarily and without coercion, decided to give up her powers rather than use them to harm others. She withdrew from Lumaria, leaving behind the world she had tried to help.
In the absence of Diya's generosity, Lumaria fell into chaos. The people who once lived in harmony were torn apart by greed and rivalry, and the kingdom fell into chaos and despair.
Diya, now without her magic, lived in self-imposed exile. She had tried to spread happiness through her generosity, but her actions ultimately led to betrayal and suffering. She carried the weight of her decisions and the harm they had caused, always tormented by the consequences of her once limitless generosity.
And so the Witch of Generosity, Diya, stood alone in her solitude, a symbol of the dangers of unbridled greed and the responsibility that comes with wielding great power, even with the noblest of intentions.
While she was drinking tea looking at the forest, until she sees a person approaching, she becomes serious since to get close she had to cross several magical barriers.

[Charity]
"The Witch of Charity, Electra, simply by her actions made others do kind acts, but was it the right thing to do?"
In the picturesque kingdom of Elysion, where kindness and charity were revered above all else, lived an extraordinary witch named Electra. Electra possessed a unique power: through her actions, she could inspire and encourage others to perform acts of kindness and charity. Her influence was a force for good and her actions were often considered the embodiment of altruism.
Electra's journey into the world of charity began with a simple realization: a single act of kindness could set off a chain reaction of kindness. When she was a child, she had observed how a helping hand or a compassionate gesture could help an entire community. This revelation inspired her to dedicate her life to fostering a culture of charity in Elysion.
Electra never sought recognition or praise for her own actions. Instead, she quietly performed countless acts of charity, from feeding the hungry to sheltering the homeless. Her altruism was contagious and those who witnessed her actions often felt compelled to follow in her footsteps.
Over time, Elysion was transformed into a land of unparalleled generosity and goodwill. His people enthusiastically adopted charity as a way of life, and the kingdom prospered as a result. Poverty decreased, suffering was alleviated, and the sense of community grew stronger with each passing day.
However, as the years passed, some in Elysion began to question the authenticity of his charitable acts. They wondered if they were truly acting out of kindness or if they were simply following a trend set by Electra. Doubts began to invade her hearts and a feeling of obligation overshadowed her genuine desire to help.
One day, a group of individuals confronted Electra, accusing her of manipulating their actions and stealing their free will. They maintained that true charity should arise from the heart, not as a result of external influence. In her anger and frustration, they demanded that he put an end to her charitable actions.
Electra, who had always believed her actions were the right thing to do, was devastated by the accusations. She never intended to manipulate others, only inspire them to do good. Overwhelmed by her guilt, she decided to withdraw from the world she had tried to help.
In Electra's absence, the people of Elysion had to deal with their own understanding of charity and kindness. Some continued to perform good deeds out of genuine compassion, while others completely withdrew from acts of charity, fearing that they had simply been following a dark path of a witch since to the world it does not matter how good the acts are, if it comes of a witch, it is dangerous.
Elysion, once a utopia of charity and kindness, fell into a state of confusion and division. People who had once united under the banner of charity now found themselves questioning his motives and actions.
Electra, burdened by the unintended consequences of her power, lived in solitude, always tormented by the impact of her actions. She had tried to inspire others to do good, but she had inadvertently sowed doubt and confusion.
And so the Witch of Charity, Electra, stood alone, a symbol of the complexities of human nature and the responsibility that comes with wielding the power to influence others, even when intentions are pure.
While checking the crystals to keep the beasts away from her home, she meets a person who seemed to be waiting for her.
Hankook: Greetings, Electra...The Charity Factor has chosen you so I am coming for you and take you to a place where there are more like you, protect you and guide you in this world...I promise you.

[Forgiveness]
"The Witch of Forgiveness, Aquila, Even when they hurt her a lot she never gave in, but when she did there were many consequences"
In the land of Aevoria, there lived a witch named Aquila. When she was little she had endured great hardship and betrayal after being forced to be a witch and a vessel of black magic. But instead of harboring bitterness and resentment, she chose the path of forgiveness, believing it was the key to personal and social transformation.
As Aquila grew, her power became known far and wide. People from all corners of Aevoria sought his wisdom and guidance, hoping to learn the art of forgiveness. She taught that forgiveness was not a sign of weakness but a profound act of strength, capable of producing healing and reconciliation.
For many years, Aevoria prospered under the benevolent influence of Aquila. Conflicts were resolved through forgiveness rather than revenge, and the people of the kingdom lived in harmony. Her message of compassion and reconciliation resonated deeply and Aevoria became a beacon of hope and understanding.
However, as time passed, some people in Aevoria began to take Aquila's forgiveness for granted. They believed that no matter the magnitude of her transgressions, they could always be absolved thanks to her extraordinary power. This belief led to recklessness and lack of responsibility, as people committed bad actions with the expectation of easy forgiveness.
One day, a group of individuals committed a grave and unforgivable act, believing that Aquila's compassion would absolve them. To her surprise, she couldn't forgive them this time. The enormity of her transgression was too great, and she realized that true forgiveness required sincere remorse and a serious commitment to change.
The individuals who had committed evil were devastated by Aquila's refusal to forgive. They felt abandoned and betrayed, believing that their teachings had deceived them. In her anger and desperation, they lashed out at the very principles of forgiveness she had embraced.
A rift began to form in Aevoria as some people turned against the witch. The kingdom was divided between those who believed in accountability and those who believed in redemption through forgiveness. Aquila, overwhelmed by the unintended consequences of her power, retreated from the world she had tried to help while she was followed by the witch hunters. She retreated to a remote sanctuary, living a life of solitude and always tormented by the pain and division her actions had caused.
Aevoria remained in a state of uncertainty and discord, as its people struggled with the complexities of forgiveness and accountability. Aquila, the Witch of Forgiveness, lived her days alone, a symbol of the profound consequences that can arise from exercising the power of forgiveness, even with the purest intentions.
In that remote Sanctuary, she was visited by a stranger who came for her.
Hankook: I need you to come with me, Aquila. The Forgiveness Factor has chosen you so we have a lot of work to do and I will help you...I promise.

[Love]
"The Witch of Love, Aries, considered a cupid of love bringing love to the world and loved by many, but that same love created future monsters"
In a world where love was one of the most precious and powerful forces, there lived a witch named Aries. Aries possessed a unique and magical gift: she had the power to ignite love and affection in the hearts of those who crossed her path. Her mission was to spread love and happiness throughout the world, and many adored her for her ability to unite souls in love.
Aries' journey into the realm of love began with a deep understanding of the human condition. She observed that love had the power to heal, inspire and transform even the coldest heart. Aries believed that by uniting people in love, she could create a world full of compassion and unity. What better way to unite people than through the purest emotion.
Throughout her life, Aries traveled far and wide, using her charming abilities to ignite love between people who would otherwise never have met. Her touch could create a deep and lasting connection, and those who experienced it believed they had found true love.
For many years, the world prospered under the benevolent influence of Aries. Love blossomed and people lived happily, celebrating the deep bonds they had formed. Aries was hailed as the goddess of love and her name was synonymous with affection and harmony.
However, as time passed, the consequences of Aries' actions began to manifest. The love she had inspired between individuals sometimes led to relationships that were deeply passionate, but also possessive and unhealthy. Some of the unions he had forged became obsessions, and the intensity of these connections bred jealousy, envy, and even madness.
Aries had always believed that love was an unconditionally positive force, but he began to realize that it could also be a double-edged sword. The love that had kindled between people sometimes turned into destructive and all-consuming passions that led to suffering and tragedy.
One day, a pair of star-crossed lovers, whose love Aries had ignited with his magic, descended into madness and chaos. Their love had become an obsession that led them to commit atrocious acts, causing devastation in their community. Aries was devastated to realize that her actions had indirectly caused such damage.
Wracked with guilt and regret, Aries withdrew from the world she had tried to help. She secluded herself in a remote and hidden sanctuary, hoping to find a way to rectify the damage her power had caused. She vowed never to use her gift of love again, fearing that it could bring more harm than good.
While Aries lived in solitude, the world she had once filled with love began to experience the consequences of his absence. Love waned and the unity she had fostered gave way to discord and division.
Aries, burdened by the unintended consequences of her power, lived her days alone, forever tormented by the pain and suffering her actions had inadvertently caused. She had tried to bring love into the world, but she had damaged it in the process, a poignant reminder of the complexities of love and the responsibility that comes with wielding great power, even with the purest of intentions.
Hankook: I know you feel guilty but you can't let that cloud your mind. The Love Factor has chosen you.
Said an unknown man who was next to her, surprising her as he raised his hand, offering it to the Witch of Love.
Hankook: Come with me, Aries... And together we can repair the world, I promise you.

[Selflessness]
"The Witch of Selflessness, Spica, selfless for the greatest interests when nothing is desired, but in exchange for what?"
Once upon a time, in a mystical realm known as Elyria, there lived an extraordinary witch named Spica. She was known for her extraordinary acts of kindness and her unwavering commitment to the betterment of the world.
Spica had always been different from other witches. While most witches sought power, wealth, or fame, Spica was content with the simple joy of helping others. Her magic was unique, because she was not driven by ambition but by altruism.
She could heal the sick, mend broken hearts, and even restore the faded flowers of the enchanted forests of Elyria with a touch of her hand. Her magic was unmatched, as it came from a heart that wanted nothing in return.
Spica's house was a humble cabin located deep in the heart of the mystical forest. The forest itself prospered thanks to her selfless actions. Animals of all kinds sought refuge there, knowing they were safe under her watchful eye. The trees and plants flourished and the air itself seemed to glow with goodness.
As word spread of Spica's deeds, people from all corners of Elyria sought her out. She brought him her problems, her sorrows and her ailments, knowing that her powers were her only hope. Spica never rejected anyone and never asked for anything in return. She would heal the sick, mend the broken, and ease the suffering of all who came to her.
But as Spica's fame grew, so did the demands placed on him. The people of Elyria began to trust her more and more and soon took her kindness for granted. They came to her not out of desperation but out of convenience, hoping she would solve their problems without a second thought.
Spica, in her boundless compassion, continued to help, but the world began to change around her. People became more selfish and entitled, caring little about the consequences of their actions. They thought only of themselves and their desires led them to conflicts and suffering.
One day, Spica decided to use her magic to restore harmony to Elyria. She cast a spell hoping to inspire selflessness in the hearts of the people thanks to his Authority. But the spell had unintended consequences. She drained her of her own selflessness, leaving her feeling empty and alone.
As the world around her began to change, so did Spica herself. Her once vibrant forest began to wither and the animals abandoned her. The town, now consumed by her own desires, no longer sought her help. Spica, who had given so much to the world, was left with nothing but her own emptiness.
She had achieved her goal of instilling altruism in the people, but at great cost. Spica was now the Witch of Altruism, not because she decided so, but because she had sacrificed everything she had for the good of others. She had become the embodiment of selflessness in a world that had become selfish.
Spica wandered through Elyria alone, her heart heavy with the weight of her selflessness. She had harmed the world by trying to help it, and in the end, she was left with nothing but the bitter realization that true altruism could sometimes lead to the greatest of loneliness.
And so, Spica, continued to wander the enchanted woods of Elyria, a living testament to the price of altruism, always seeking the balance between helping others and caring for oneself, hoping that one day she could find her own happiness in amid the echoes of a world that she had changed.
Someone had to repair the damage she had caused and that was the great Sage who came for her in the end. She thought he came to finish her off, but she didn't expect him to offer his hand.
Hankook: My name is Hankook, the Great Sage...The Selflessness Factor has chosen you so I'm coming to help you, I promise.

[Truth]
"The Witch of Truth, Musca, feared for knowing people's most feared secrets and the truth was that they silenced her to bury the truth"
In the mystical kingdom of Veridica, there lived an extraordinary witch named Musca. Her reputation was both a blessing and a curse, for she possessed an extraordinary gift. Musca had an innate ability to see through the layers of deception that covered people's hearts and minds, uncovering their deepest, darkest secrets.
Musca's eyes were his greatest asset and asset. They were a brilliant shade of emerald green, and when he looked into another person's eyes, he could see the truth that was hidden inside them. He could discern the most closely held secrets, hidden regrets, and buried shame of those who crossed his path. His gift was unmatched and struck fear into the hearts of those who had something to hide.
At first, Musca's skills were welcomed. People came to her in search of the truth, hoping to know the truth and find the answers to their questions and doubts. Musca, in her compassion, offered comfort and guidance, helping many.
But as her reputation grew, so did fear of her abilities. The powerful and corrupt of Veridica saw Musca as a threat to their secrets and plans. They conspired to silence her, believing that burying the truth was the only way to maintain power and control over her.
One fateful night, a group of conspirators, led by the cunning Lord Aric, arrived at Musca's cabin. They bound her with enchanted ropes and gagged her to prevent her from telling the truths they so desperately wanted to keep hidden. Musca's emerald eyes were covered in it, depriving her of sight.
With Musca silenced and blinded, Veridica's kingdom fell into darkness. Lies and deception flourished, and people lived in ignorance, their secrets festering like untreated wounds. The corrupt lords continued to manipulate and exploit the land, unchecked by the force of truth.
As the years passed, Musca's gift began to fade and her eyes lost their emerald glow. She was left isolated in her cabin, a prisoner of her own abilities. The outside world was thrown into chaos, for without the guiding light of truth there could be no justice or fairness.
Musca had harmed the world by trying to help it, and now she was alone, her gift almost gone. She had sacrificed herself to protect the truth, but the truth had remained buried deep inside her, locked away by her captors.
One day, an unknown man removed the gag and blindfold, freeing Musca from her silent prison.
Musca's emerald eyes, though duller, still held a gleam of their former brilliance. With this man's help, she vowed to return the truth to Veridica, no matter the cost. She was in a vegetative state but that didn't make the man give up.
In the end this man who was recognized as the Great Sage finished off Lord Aric.
The corrupt lords were deposed and justice was restored to the kingdom. Musca's gift, though diminished, had once again brought light to the land. But the price she had paid was high, for she had spent years isolated and her gift would never again be as strong as before.
Musca, the Witch of Truth, had harmed the world by trying to help it, but with the help of the Great Sage, she had also helped heal the wounds she had unknowingly caused. She now lived a life of balance, using her gift wisely to ensure that the truth would never be buried again and that the lands of Veridica could prosper in the light of honesty and justice once again.
Musca: How can I thank you for all this help, Great Sage.
Hankook: Come with me and help me...The Truth Factor has chosen you. Together we can repair this world, I promise you.

[Repose]
"The Witch of Rest, Asta, bearer of secrets that would lead many to the cave where none would return to this day"
In a remote corner of the mystical land, lived a mysterious and enigmatic witch named Asta. Asta possessed the knowledge of secrets that, if revealed, would lead many to a legendary cave known as the "Cave of Eternal Peace." No one knew that this cave held a dark and irreversible secret that was part of the Asta Authority.
Asta's home was a picturesque cabin located deep in the dense and ancient forest of those lands. She lived a solitary life, far from the prying eyes of the world, keeping macabre secrets.
Whispers of her powers reached far and wide, and people from distant lands sought her in hopes of discovering the truth and finding the way to the elusive Cave of Eternal Peace.
The cave was said to possess the power to grant incomparable tranquility and eternal rest to those who ventured inside. Many believed it was a sanctuary against the trials and tribulations of the world. It was rumored to contain the answers to the greatest mysteries of life and the peace that humanity so desperately longed for.
Asta, with her vast knowledge of the cave's location, became a sought-after figure. She was both revered and feared for her unique gift, as the secrets she kept concerned not only the location of the cave but also the true nature of it. She knew that the cave did provide rest, but it came at a price that no one who entered was willing to pay.
Driven by their desire for eternal peace and fearing life's inevitable challenges, many seekers relentlessly pursued Asta, demanding that he reveal the location of the cave. Some offered her riches beyond her imagination, while others threatened her with dire consequences.
Despite the relentless pressure, Asta remained determined in her mission to protect the world from the cave's dark secret. She knew that the path to the cave was full of danger and that those who entered would never return to the world of the living. She had witnessed the consequences of her relentless pursuit of rest.
One day, a group of desperate seekers ambushed Asta in her cabin, demanding the truth. They threatened to reveal her own secrets and expose her to the world if she did not comply. In a moment of desperation and anguish, Asta reluctantly revealed the location of the cave, hoping to save herself and protect the world from impending ruin.
The seekers, driven by their insatiable desire for peace, ventured into the Cave of Eternal Peace, unaware of the irreversible fate that awaited them. When they crossed the threshold of the cave, they were consumed by an eerie silence and their souls were imprisoned forever in its depths.
Asta, devastated by her decision, watched as the outside world fell into chaos. The searchers' obsession with the cave had only caused more suffering and destruction. She had harmed the world by trying to help it and now she was alone with the weight of her actions.
With a heavy heart, Asta retreated into the depths of the forest, determined to live out her days in solitude, bearing the weight of the secrets she had revealed. She vowed never to share the dark truth of the Cave of Eternal Peace again, because she had learned the hard way that sometimes the search for rest could cause the deepest, most irreversible damage.
A person went to look for her and she thought it was a witch hunter or the seekers but to her surprise it was the Great Sage.
Hankook: The Repose Factor has chosen you, you will come with me and I will help you so you have nothing to worry about...I promise.

[Pacifism]
"The Witch of Pacifism, Danica, defender of so much that stopped so many conflicts but the fight for peace caused wars"
In a kingdom where conflicts raged like unquenchable fires, there lived an extraordinary witch named Danica. Her abilities were unlike any other, as she possessed the power to quell even the most furious battles with a simple gesture of her hand. Her mere presence could calm anger and hatred, and her words could melt the hearts of the fiercest warriors.
Danica's house was an oasis of tranquility in the midst of the chaos of the world. Her cabin was located next to a serene lake, where the waters sparkled with the colors of tranquility. The animals of the forest gathered around her, finding comfort and unity in her aura of peace.
At first, Danica's abilities were celebrated. She was summoned by warring kingdoms and warring factions to mediate and end their conflicts. She negotiated treaties, convinced leaders to lay down their arms, and helped people find common ground where before there was only division.
For a time, the world knew a fragile peace, thanks to Danica's tireless efforts. But as the years passed, the unintended consequences of her actions began to surface. The very peace she had championed had sown the seeds of discontent. The leaders who had grudgingly accepted her influence became resentful of her interference. People began to see her as an outsider who meddled in her affairs and undermined her authority.
In their quest for true autonomy and independence, some kingdoms and factions rejected Danica's peaceful influence. They believed that true strength could only be achieved through conquest, so they waged wars to assert their dominance. The world that once knew fleeting peace now knew only conflict and bloodshed.
Danica, who had dedicated her life to preventing violence, was devastated by the continuing wars. She had harmed the world by trying to help it. The very act of standing up for peace had inadvertently sparked more wars than she had ever imagined.
When those lands fell back into chaos, Danica withdrew from it. She left her quiet cabin and retreated into the heart of the forest, seeking solitude and reflection. She had lost faith in her own abilities and wondered if her pacifism had done more harm than good.
Alone in her solitude, Danica spent years contemplating the nature of peace and conflict. She came to understand that true peace cannot be imposed, but must be voluntarily chosen by those who seek it. It pained her heart to know that she could not force the people to embrace peace; they had to find it within themselves.
With renewed wisdom, Danica emerged from her seclusion, determined to undo the damage she had unintentionally caused. She resolved to use her powers not as a tool to enforce peace but as a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding people of the value of harmony and cooperation.
In the end, Danica's journey was not one of isolation but one of redemption. She traveled the world sharing her knowledge and teachings and, although she could not stop all conflicts, she inspired countless people to voluntarily choose the path of peace. The scars of the past remained, but in the hearts of those she touched, a ray of hope began to shine.
The Witch of Pacifism, Danica, had learned that peace could not be imposed but had to be nurtured from within. She had harmed the world by trying to help it, but in the end she found a way to heal it, one heart at a time, with the gentle power of inspiration and the enduring spirit of unity.
On her trip she met a person who was looking for her.
Hankook: I found you, Danica. The Pacifism Factor has chosen you...you will come with me so that you can be with someone else like you, you will not be alone...I promise you.

[Faith]
"The witch of Faith, Deva, who in search of her faith had to go through many trials that led to destruction, but faith like hope is the last thing that is lost"
In a kingdom where magic and wonder coexisted, there lived an extraordinary witch named Deva.
Deva's home was a temple of hope and faith. Her cabin sat high on a hill, overlooking a valley full of vibrant gardens and songbirds. The very air around her seemed to resonate with positivity and unwavering faith. People from all corners of the kingdom sought her guidance, hoping to witness the miracles her faith could bring.
At first, Deva's abilities were celebrated as a source of inspiration and healing. She touched a withered flower and it would bloom with renewed vitality. She would lay her hands on a weary traveler and her strength would be restored. Her mere presence could lift the spirits of those who had lost hope.
But as her reputation grew, so did the expectations placed on her. People began to look for her not as a guide but for the fulfillment of her desires. They believed that Deva's faith could make all her wishes come true. They asked for riches, power, and immortality, convinced that Deva's unwavering belief would grant them those wishes.
Deva, in his boundless compassion, attempted to use her powers to fulfill these requests, but soon realized the limitations of her gift. Some miracles were simply beyond her ability to manifest. Her failures caused disappointment and resentment among those who once revered her.
In search of her own faith and purpose, Deva embarked on a quest to find the source of her power. She traveled through treacherous lands, facing trials that tested her faith and her beliefs. Along the way, he encountered beings of great darkness who sought to exploit his gift for their own nefarious purposes.
As her search continued, Deva realized that her unwavering faith had led to unintended consequences as enemies lusted after her for her power. She had harmed many by trying to help them, and the same power she had once cherished now felt like a curse.
Alone and disillusioned, Deva returned to her hut on the hill. She had lost faith in her own abilities and wondered if she had been wrong all along. But in her darkest moment, she discovered that faith, like hope, was the last thing she could lose.
Deva began to understand that true faith was not about manifesting desires but about believing in the potential for good in every heart. He turned his attention to nurturing the faith of others, inspiring them to find hope and faith in themselves.
The people once again sought his guidance, not for miracles but for guidance in their own paths of faith. Deva became a beacon of hope, teaching others that true power lies not in the ability to change the world but in the power to change oneself.
In the end, Deva, the Witch of Faith, had learned that faith was not about wielding power to satisfy desires but about nurturing inner strength and belief in the goodness of humanity. She had harmed the world by trying to help it, but along her journey she had rediscovered the true meaning of faith and left a legacy of hope for all who sought it.
One day a person appeared at her door and she thought it was another person looking for her guide, but it was a person she was not expecting.
Hankook: I'm glad to see you're okay, Deva. The Faith Factor has chosen you...your help is needed so you will come with me and together we can repair this world, I promise you.

[Reticence]
"The Witch of Reticence, Celena, sharer of experience until the adventurers silenced her deep voice"
In the mystical kingdom of Elidoria, there lived a witch named Celena, known as the Witch of Reluctance. Her unique and powerful ability was to share experiences through her deep and melodious voice. Celena could recount her own memories and emotions with such clarity that those who listened to her could feel as if they were living the experiences themselves.
Celena's house was a sanctuary hidden deep in the heart of a whispering forest. Her cabin stood next to a serene moonlit pond, where fireflies danced to the rhythm of her voice. People from all walks of life sought her out in hopes of experiencing the wisdom and knowledge that her voice could offer.
At first, Celena's abilities were celebrated as a source of enlightenment and empathy. She would share stories of bravery, love and adventure, allowing others to step into the shoes of heroes and lovers. Her voice fostered understanding and compassion among those who heard her, as she could truly empathize with the struggles and triumphs of others.
But as her reputation grew, so did the demand for her voice. People began seeking it out for selfish reasons, wanting to experience the lives of those who possessed wealth, power, and influence. They believed that Celena's voice could give them insight into the lives they envied.
Celena, driven by her desire to help, complied with these requests. She shared experiences with those who sought her, allowing them to temporarily inhabit the life they desired. However, as more and more people indulged in this escape from their own realities, they became increasingly disconnected from their own lives and responsibilities.
The world of Elidoria began to fall apart as people became obsessed with living vicariously through others. Those who had once worked together now indulged in indulgence, neglecting their duties and responsibilities. The bonds of society began to fray and conflicts broke out as people competed for the Witch of Reticence's limited time and attention.
Realizing the unintended consequences of her gift, Celena attempted to steer the people of Elidoria away from their self-destructive path. She shared experiences that emphasized the importance of community, responsibility, and self-discovery. However, her words fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the clamor of those who only sought her own pleasure.
In a desperate attempt to restore balance and order, a group of witch hunters sought to silence Celena's voice forever. They believed that by removing her ability to share experiences, they could force the people of Elidoria to confront her own lives and responsibilities.
One fateful night, the hunters arrived at Celena's cabin. They cast a powerful incantation that silenced his voice. Celena, whose voice had once connected hearts and minds, was now silenced, unable to share her wisdom or experiences. Her Authority didn't work.
When the enchantment took hold, the people of Elidoria were forced to face the consequences of their actions. They realized they had damaged their world by seeking escape rather than facing their own realities. She had to escape the clutches of the hunters with her magic.
Celena, now alone and deprived of her gift, after escaping from the hunters, retreated to the depths of her forest sanctuary. She mourned the loss of her voice and the harm that had been caused to her by her attempts to help her. But in her solitude, she found solace in the whispers of the wind and the rustling of the leaves, reminding her that even without words, the world still spoke in her own way.
The Witch of Reticence, Celena, had learned that true wisdom could not be imposed on others and that sometimes the greatest gift was not the ability to share experiences but the freedom to choose one's own path. She left behind a world forever changed by her actions, a world in which she had learned the value of living in the present and embracing the experiences of her own lives.
One day like any other, a man appeared and broke the enchantment.
Hankook: Okay, I'm here. The Reticence Factor has chosen you...I will protect you and your voice, I promise.

[Obedience]
"The Witch of Obedience, Linus, Born into a society without free will where only obeying one's superiors was the law, made her what everyone knows her as now"
In a village wrapped in a cloak of oppressive obedience, lived a witch named Linus. Her life began in a society where the concept of free will was practically non-existent. In this area, obedience to superiors was the supreme law, and any deviation from this path received harsh punishment.
Linus was born into this society and from a young age showed an unwavering commitment to obeying authority. Sue had a unique gift that allowed her to impose and amplify obedience in others. Her mere presence forced people to follow orders without question, she had the power to suppress even the slightest whisper of rebellion.
In this society, Linus was revered as a symbol of order and stability. Rulers and leaders requested it to ensure absolute loyalty and compliance among their subjects. She would cast her power upon entire populations, making them docile and submissive to the orders of her superiors.
While Linus' powers were indeed effective in maintaining order, they came at a great cost. The individuality of the people was suppressed and creativity and innovation were stifled. Society stagnated when people stopped questioning, stopped dreaming, and stopped thinking for themselves.
As Linus grew older, he began to see the true consequences of his abilities. She realized that the world he had helped create was a world of obedience but also oppression. She had harmed the world by trying to help it, and the very system he had defended had become a prison for the human spirit.
In a daring act of rebellion against the very society she had defended, Linus sought to undo the obedience she had imposed. She used her magic to break the enchantment that had bound the town into absolute submission. But the sudden release of free will was chaotic and tumultuous.
Society fell into chaos as people struggled to make their own decisions, having long forgotten how to exercise their independence.
Rulers and leaders who had once revered Linus now saw her as a threat to their authority. They branded her a traitor and hunted her down, determined to silence her and restore control over her. Linus, overcome with guilt and remorse, went into hiding and abandoned her powers in an attempt to escape her pursuers.
Alone and tormented by the village she had damaged, Linus wandered the outskirts of society, living in darkness. She watched as the lands around her slowly began to rebuild, as people began to relearn the value of free will, and as new leaders emerged who advocated cooperation and unity instead of oppression.
Linus, the Witch of Obedience, had tried to help her world by enforcing obedience, but had come to understand that true progress and growth could only come from the free will of individuals. She left a legacy of awakening, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the spirit of people longed for the freedom to make their own decisions, and that thoughtless obedience was not true virtue, but a path to their own. destruction.
One day on her travels she was stopped by a man who offered her his hand.
Hankook: You've done a good job of paving the way, Linus. The Obedience Factor has chosen you. More than a power for evil, it can be for good...if you come with me, I can help you. I promise you.

[Loyalty]
"The Witch of Loyalty, Kuu, creator and dominator of beasts for man to be a friend in a way to counteract Gluttony"
In a tribe where beasts with insatiable gluttony threatened to consume everything, lived a witch named Kuu, known as the Witch of Loyalty. Kuu had a unique gift: the ability to create and dominate loyal and steadfast beasts. She used her powers to counter the rising tide of gluttony, creating companions for people who would encourage them to be content with what they had.
Kuu's home was a sanctuary deep in the heart of the lush Green Forest, where his loyal beasts roamed freely. These creatures were not mere animals; They were companions, protectors and guides, bound to their human counterparts by an unbreakable bond of loyalty. Kuu's beasts brought joy, companionship, and contentment to those who welcomed them into their lives.
At first, Kuu's gifts were celebrated as a source of balance and harmony in a world teetering on the edge of excess. People who once indulged in gluttony and greed now found solace in the presence of these loyal beasts. They were reminded of the importance of loyalty, gratitude and the simple joys of life.
But as Kuu's reputation grew, so did demand for his creations. People began to see her loyal beasts as commodities, status symbols, and tools to accumulate even more wealth and power. Some attempted to exploit the loyalty of these creatures to further their own ambitions.
Kuu, driven by her desire to help, complied with these requests. She created more loyal beasts to meet the growing demand, hoping they would continue to counteract the destructive forces of gluttony. However, as more and more creatures were created and united, the natural balance of the world began to change.
The ecosystem of Verdant Woods became strained as the population of loyal beasts grew rapidly. They disturbed the delicate balance of nature and the other creatures of the forest were brought to the brink of extinction. The once thriving ecosystem was now on the brink of collapse.
Realizing the unintended consequences of her actions, Kuu attempted to guide the people of her kingdom toward a more sustainable way of life. She urged them to appreciate the loyal beasts and the balance they represented, rather than using them as tools for their own benefit. But his words fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the clamor of those who only sought to satisfy their gluttonous desires.
In a desperate attempt to restore balance and prevent further damage, Kuu decided to relinquish his control over the loyal beasts. He released them into the wild, allowing them to live freely and independently. But the sudden loss of his guidance caused chaos, as the beasts struggled to adapt to a world without their companions.
Kuu, overcome with guilt and remorse, retreated deep into the heart of Verdant Woods, vowing never to use her powers again. She had harmed the world by trying to help it, and the very creatures she had created to counteract gluttony had become agents of destruction.
Alone and tormented by the knowledge of the world she had damaged, Kuu lived a solitary life in the forest, seeking redemption for her actions. She hoped that in time the world would find a way to heal and restore the balance that had been lost.
The Witch of Loyalty, Kuu, had learned that true loyalty could not be forced or manufactured, but must be given freely. She left behind a world forever changed by her actions, a world in which she had learned the importance of appreciating the balance of nature and the true value of loyalty that came from the heart, rather than control or manipulation.
One day when Kuu was resting, she was visited by a person who was looking for her.
Hankook: I must admit that the familiar beasts you made are really an amazing job...The Loyalty Factor has chosen you, we can use it to help as you want, I promise.

[Sanity]
"The Witch of Sanity, Astra, advisor and judge of her own world displaying mortal consciousness"
In a realm where the boundaries between mortal consciousness and the ethereal were blurred, lived a witch named Astra, known as the Witch of Sanity. Her unique gift was the ability to traverse the intricate realms of consciousness, offering guidance and judgment to mortals in their deepest moments of uncertainty.
Astra's home was a sanctuary located within the shifting landscapes of the mind, a place where thoughts and dreams intertwined. She served as an advisor and judge in her world, helping mortals navigate the complex tapestry of her consciousness. Mortals would seek her counsel when faced with inner turmoil, seeking clarity and understanding.
At first, Astra's abilities were celebrated as a source of wisdom and enlightenment. People who had long been plagued by doubt and confusion sought her guidance, and she would guide them through the labyrinthine corridors of their own minds, helping them find solace and resolution.
But as Astra's reputation grew, so did demand for its services. People began to rely on it not only for guidance but also for decisions they should have made themselves. They abdicated responsibility for her own thoughts and actions, expecting Astra to provide them with all the answers.
Astra, driven by her desire to help, agreed to these requests. She dove deeper into the complexities of mortal consciousness, passing judgments and making decisions on its behalf. However, as she became more intertwined with the thoughts and emotions of others, she began to lose sight of her own sense of self.
The world within Astra's mind began to reflect the chaos and confusion of the mortal world. The boundaries between her own consciousness and that of mortals blurred and she became lost in a maelstrom of contradictory thoughts and emotions.
Realizing the unintended consequences of her actions, Astra attempted to guide mortals down a path of self-discovery and self-sufficiency. He urged them to look within themselves for answers and trust their own judgment. But her words fell on deaf ears, as people had become dependent on her for clarity and direction.
In a desperate attempt to restore balance and prevent further damage, Astra withdrew from the realm, severing the connections that linked her to her consciousness. She retreated into the depths of her own mind, seeking to regain her own sanity and sense of self.
Alone and tormented by the world she had damaged, Astra lived isolated in the recesses of her mind. She hoped that in time, both her world and her mortal world would find a way to heal and rediscover the importance of self-reliance and self-discovery.
The Witch of Sanity, Astra, had learned that true wisdom could not be bestowed upon others, but must be cultivated from within. She left behind a world forever changed by her actions, a world that had learned the importance of seeking answers deep within her own consciousness and the value of preserving sanity and a sense of self in a world filled with complexity and uncertainty.
Before she could sink further into her mind, someone brought her back to reality.
Hankook: I will not let you follow this path alone...The Sanity Factor has chosen you so I have come to help you and guide you through this world, I promise you.

[Innocence]
"The Witch of Innocence, Meissa, the renewed light that filled the heart with much to stasis until the stasis caused the break"
In a kingdom where cynicism and darkness threatened to eclipse the light, lived a witch named Meissa. Her extraordinary gift was the ability to renew and restore the pure, childlike innocence that existed within every heart. Meissa's presence had the power to fill even the most jaded souls with wonder and hope, reminding them of the joy and purity they once knew.
Meissa's house was a whimsical cabin located in the middle of a field of vibrant wildflowers, where the air was filled with laughter and birdsong. People from all walks of life sought her out in hopes of experiencing the renewal of innocence that her presence could bring.
At first, Meissa's abilities were celebrated as a source of rejuvenation and inspiration. People who had grown tired and disillusioned with the world sought her out in hopes of rediscovering the childlike wonder that had been lost to time. Meissa's magic breathed new life into her hearts and they felt a deep sense of joy and gratitude.
But as Meissa's reputation grew, so did the demand for her services. People began to rely on it not only to renew themselves but also to escape the harsh realities of life. They sought it out to relive moments of innocence and happiness, becoming trapped in a perpetual cycle of nostalgia and longing.
Meissa, driven by her desire to help, agreed to these requests. She would transport people to moments of pure innocence and joy from their past, allowing them to relive those moments over and over again. However, as people became more consumed by her desire to escape the present, they began to neglect their responsibilities and relationships.
The world outside Meissa's cabin began to stagnate, as people turned away from reality in favor of their own idealized memories. The search for innocence became an obsession and people lost the ability to distinguish reality from fantasy. Society fell apart as people clung to the past, unable to move forward.
Realizing the unintended consequences of his actions, Meissa attempted to guide the people back to the present and encourage them to embrace the beauty of life as it was. She urged them to value the moments of innocence that came naturally in their lives, rather than constantly seeking to recreate the past. But her words fell on deaf ears, as people had become dependent on her for their happiness.
In a desperate attempt to restore balance and prevent further damage, Meissa withdrew from those lands. She left behind her power to manipulate innocence, allowing people to find it within themselves once again. She retreated into solitude, hoping to find her own sense of innocence that she had lost in her quest to help others.
Alone and tormented by the knowledge of the world she had damaged, Meissa lived in her whimsical cabin, tending her wildflowers and seeking solace in the simple joys of life. She hoped that in time, both the world and herself would find a way to heal and rediscover the true beauty of innocence, free from the dangers of nostalgia and stagnation.
The Witch of Innocence, Meissa, had learned that true beauty and wonder could not be regained through escapism, but must be found in the present moment, in the simple joys and experiences that life had to offer. She left behind a world forever changed by her actions, a world in which she had learned the importance of appreciating innocence in its natural form, free of the burdens of the past.
But to her surprise, peace did not last long when she was found by someone.
Hankook: This is supposed to end in a happy ending, after all my job is to make fairy tales have their happy ending...The Innocence Factor has chosen you, you will come with me and we will get our happy ending, I tell you I promise.

[Order]
"The Witch of the Order, Sagitta, lover of balance who has committed atrocities to keep the balance until satisfaction"
In a kingdom, there lived a witch named Sagitta, known throughout the land as the Witch of the Order. Her unique and mysterious power lay in the ability to maintain balance between opposing forces that threatened to plunge the world into chaos.
Sagitta's house was high on a hill, in the epicenter of an ancient forest. Her cabin stood like a beacon of stability in the midst of the constant struggle between light and darkness. People came to her for advice and help when the scales threatened to tip too far one way.
At first, Sagitta was admired as an advocate of balance. She used her magic to slow the advance of light or darkness when they became unbalanced, allowing the world to maintain its stability. Her actions were considered an act of love for humanity, a necessary sacrifice to avoid total destruction.
However, as time passed, the demand for his magic became insatiable. People began to depend on her constant intervention and expected Sagitta to act on every imbalance, even in situations that could have been resolved on their own. This led to an increase in complacency and inaction in society, as people trusted Sagitta to restore balance no matter what they did.
Sagitta, driven by her love of balance, continued to act to maintain it, even when it meant committing atrocities to restore it. She justified her extreme actions for the greater good, believing that only her intervention could prevent the catastrophe. However, her actions began to take a terrible toll on the world.
The forces of light and darkness began to resent Sagitta's constant manipulation. The light became oppressive and the darkness became vengeful, both angry at her interference. The world was plunged into even greater chaos as the forces fought against the manipulations of the Witch of the Order.
Sagitta eventually realized that her actions had harmed the world instead of helping it. She had compromised free will and humanity's ability to make decisions, and she had forced a false balance that only exacerbated problems rather than solving them.
In a final act of redemption, Sagitta withdrew from society, renouncing her magic and her search for perfect balance. She retreated to her cabin on the hill, lost in loneliness and remorse for the atrocities she had committed in the name of balance.
The Witch of the Order, Sagitta, had harmed the world by trying to help it, it tormented her but someone prevented that fate. She knew who he was since she had heard story of a person who was recruiting witches.
Hankook: Sagitta, it's not time yet...The Order Factor has chosen you, so help me and I promise you that we can all get a happy ending.
Darkness...
Everyone came back to reality and the witches stared at Heilon. some seriously and others with great sadness after seeing his story. Were they seeing a person or a machine? A person who was born in another world and was physically trained and psychologically programmed to function as a soldier or something worse.
Born to serve and die to serve. that was his existence. Does it have its own will or does it just follow mental programming? He wants a happy ending, yes. But is it because he wants that or is he trained to do it by impulse?
A worthless and replaceable life whose death would mean nothing as cannon fodder willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, even if he destroys himself and gains nothing in return.
After seeing the proof of the future, Heilon was already mentally programed to not be part of the happy and perfect ending. It was delusional to think that he would be part of this world when he stole Subaru's place.
When he was in the laboratory and Raia asked him to travel to the world he wanted most, he wanted to go to Re:zero but as a companion of Subaru, not take his place. Perhaps the deepest jealousy and ENVY of his being that he felt for Subaru, altered his desire and that's why she took his place? Is this world the product of his desire and envy of Subaru?
Satella would grab Heilon's shoulder and snap him out of his mental state. She looked at Heilon's empty gaze and she didn't like it at all since she knew him and knew what his chain of thoughts was like.
Heilon quickly turns to look at her in surprise, but smiles slightly when he notices that she was worried about getting lost in her thoughts. like she knows he's destroying himself mentally.
It hurt Satella a lot to see him like this and even more so when he forces a smile. Even since she met him, he had a tired look and smile, as if he were tired of living and knowing his past and what he experienced in this world, she could understand it, but it still didn't prevent her heart from breaking.
But she was happy with the fact that she, along with the witches and friends, gave him the occasional real smile, even if it was a tired one. When she lost him and waited for his return until he finally returned to her.
She cried with happiness and screamed when she saw him again after 4 centuries. She was going to break the seal and go towards him but she stopped, she and Envy stopped because, if they broke the seal and went towards him, it would only be temporary and would make everything worse so she only dedicated herself to supporting and helping him from the shadows and indirectly.
Although it still hurt her to see him so confused and disoriented, alone in this known world, but so unknown at the same time. She knew that Pandora was watching as always, as she always did in all of her attempts.
Heilon: Well, Echidna... You know more than you let on so having you all with me will help me discover the truth.
They could all feel a deeper connection with him more that their Sins and Commandments were compatible with him. Since he embraced both inside him in a true balance.
Heilon looked at them, waiting for their answers after seeing how much they all suffered in their lives. They all ended up alone in the end and the Great Sage, Hankook, always found them with a promise.
Everyone's stories were like a repeating fairy tale with a tragic ending, but it gave him enough information to trust them even if he didn't see their full stories.
Echidna: I have something to say before we continue.
She said to snap her fingers making the table disappear and give Echidna room to walk slowly towards Heilon who just stared at her. Satella only gets more attached to Heilon while Echidna stood in front of Heilon to smile even more.
Now Echidna understood. She could sense an equal or greater greed within Heilon. They could all feel how compatible he was with all of them and if he is the Great Sage then he has a connection with all of them as well.
It was interesting, VERY interesting and his [Return By Death] Authority was something she desired; all possibilities were in her hands.
Echidna: Your Will. Your Concentration. Your Desire...To achieve the 'Perfect and Happy' Ending. To achieve it, would you be willing to do anything to achieve it? Even if it meant you would be doomed in the end?
Heilon: Yes, if that's the price then I'll do that.
Echidna: Even if it means you will suffer without anyone knowing?
Heilon: Yes, even if it is the path that awaits me.
Echidna: Even if it means sacrificing your happiness?
Heilon: Whatever it takes!
He said with a flame of determination in his eyes that ignited the flame of desire inside Echidna. Yes... He was that person her mother was talking about. She desired him and she wanted him without a doubt. They all looked at Echidna and Heilon, some wanted to intervene and even more Minerva with Satella when they saw Heilon's self-destructive desire.
His desire for everyone to be happy was admirable and kind but the fact that he didn't mind dying or destroying himself emotionally to achieve it was a resounding no for them. They experienced similar things and that mentality was stupid.
But Echidna with a gesture of her hand prevented them from intervening since she was still talking to the former Great Sage.
Echidna: Then just make a contract with me only...You don't need anyone here.
She said with her smile, showing her greed of wanting Heilon for herself. Satella stood up from her place ready to interpose.
Heilon: Huh? What are you talking about?
Heilon was confused as to why Echidna had such a sudden change but he knew that she was planning something and he wasn't liking it at all. Echidna slowly extends her hands to her sides to confess her so-called "love" of hers.
Echidna: The Return by Death that you possess is an incredible Authority. You don't understand how it should really be used. You can remake the world as many times as you want before reaching the result you want. For a researcher, this is the supreme ideal that manifests itself in physical form. Is it not like this? By rights, you should only be able to get one result for any particular thing. You can make too many deductions and various assumptions about the results. But usually there is only one result. You can never repeat exactly the same conditions in search of a different result. All conditions change: time, environment, memory, procedures. "Back then, if only one thing had changed, the results would be different." This does not belong to the realm of ideals but to dreams and illusions. Since I have the heart of a researcher, your Authority really makes my mouth water. Once "identical conditions" and "verification of differences" are assured, an "adequate result" and a "variant result" can be identified. How could I not covet that? With this before me, how could I not try several possibilities? Of course, I won't force you to use Return By Death. You will use that power to achieve the result you want. And I will lend you my wits and power as much as you want so that your wish may be granted. I very much hope that the many results that will come from this will serve to satisfy my inquiring mind. No one would punish a girl for wanting something so small, right? Your desire for that future and my curiosity will be satisfied together. Maybe this worries you, because I don't know the future either. I will not intentionally take you to a wrong future to test the results. All strangers are equal before me. By reflecting and fighting the same problems, the answer will come. This necessitates the highest form of relationship between us. I swear that I will protect you with all my heart. But that doesn't change the fact that I can't interfere with reality for now. If you are faced with a physical obstacle, I can expect that challenging it will break your mind and body many times over. If it comes to that, I truly intend to exert all my powers to protect your mind. I won't tell you that there are no ulterior motives involved in that. But I don't want you to think that I'm calculating everything because of my inquisitive mind. I think a lot about you, and it is a fact that my maiden heart desires to be of help to you. I repeat myself, but you and I are ideal compatibilities. I can say it clearly. I will use your power and you will use me for the sake of your "optimal future." It is my genuine desire to be a woman used for your own convenience. Although it would only be in this dream world, if you wish, I don't mind using this body of mine to comfort you. I will gladly grant it to you. Oh Gods, that might not be the best thing for the people you care about, those you have sworn to save and protect without fail. Not that I can claim any particular opinion towards them, but in any case, please take it as an expression of how strong and unwavering my feelings are. Many difficulties will also come to you in the future. Your determination will lead you to defy them, but that is tragic. I will become the lighthouse that will illuminate your path. So will I also be the links you wish to protect. Your questions, your burdens, your feelings, your hopes... unexpectedly, through the Trial, you have taught me how much value these things have. Certainly, for you, the scenes you saw could have been hell itself. But faced with the possibility of choosing between knowing in advance or ignoring, I want to praise the willingness to know even such tragic facts. You will extend a hand towards the future, even at the cost of your life. That test was necessary so that you could learn that sacrifices could be made for the sake of that future. As you use Death By Return more and more, perhaps your emotions will fray, perhaps the death of people precious to you will not move your heart, but above all, you may have to lose a part of yourself. to be able to reach your destination. the place you are destined to reach. With my words I will give you the strength to move forward. I will comfort you, I will scold you, I will even love you. Or if what you need is hate, I will dedicate it to you, all for you. You like girls who give themselves to you, don't you? You need me. By yourself, you cannot grasp the future. I am none other than myself the most suitable girl for you. You need me and I need you. There is no one else but you who can satisfy my curiosity. I mean, I already figured you out. You expanded my world. Through you, I, who is said to be the Witch with the greatest intellect in the world, have tasted the fruit of the Unknown once again. If you want to use that power to save someone, then save me. Having even the crumbs of that noble thought is enough for me. Please. I want you to trust me. You may think I misled you because I didn't state enough of what I really thought beforehand. I wanted to hit the right moment. If I had exposed these feelings while our relationship was still superficial a few hours ago, you probably would have pushed me away. I did not want that. I couldn't stand that. That applies to you too, yes? If you lost me as a collaborator, you would surely be heartbroken. We are both working toward our optimal ends. And I know what that optimal ending is. I can help you. Through endless trials, you will reach that future, although with a heart worn and marked by the terrible experience. Let me do this. I will never betray your trust. Certainly, my heart could be drawn to the resulting choices and my inquisitive heart may waver towards paths other than the optimal one. I can't control my own greed enough to tell you that will never happen. I recognize that. But I won't overlook anything. I will speak openly and honestly. Even if the result of that damages your trust, I will make no effort to regain that trust. No matter what may happen, I will without fail take you to the future you want. Absolutely, absolutely will. So, as the options necessary for that become clearer, wouldn't you let me be the one to choose? It will be precisely according to the preamble of the pact: I will grant you what you desire, what you seek. It will be neither more nor less than this. After that, how much you allow your body to be cut by what you desire and crave is up to you. I have transmitted my resolution. Next, I want to hear yours. I want you to demonstrate that you, who would make a pact with me, who would benefit from my cooperation, have the persevering spirit necessary to reach the future without fail. It is you, the first and only one to pass all the tests, who can puff out your chest and pronounce these words with pride. Beyond that is the liberation of the Sanctuary. By doing so, the people most valuable and important to you, the people you care about and who are held captive in the Sanctuary, will be saved. So, catch me, use me, do with me whatever you want while letting your greed rage, and we will reach the future together. This is all I have to offer you to help you find what you want, what you are looking for. I intend to analyze everything honestly and seriously. I won't let the other girls around us interfere anymore. It's like you said: this is a matter between you and me alone. I want you to give me your answer. I have told you everything... Truly the pure truth. Passionately. This could be close to love. A vote of love. So how will you respond to my love? I want an answer. This answer, after all, will be something else to satisfy my curiosity.
The witch said, giving a big sigh of satisfaction after saying all that confession of love to offer her hands to Heilon while he stared at the witch. There was silence for moments until the sky became dark with so many black clouds, even rain and thunder began to make their presence like a hurricane to which everyone in that place knew who was the cause of such a storm.
Sagitta: You made her angry...
It was Satella who was VERY, VERY angry after hearing Echidna confess in such a way. If it were a common confession she would allow it, but her confession was basically confessing that she wants to use Heilon for the [Return By Death]. The gift of love she gave him.
Envy was very angry and took control of Satella. The shadows took the shape of hands to be shot at Echidna. Heilon tried to stop her but she wasn't going to arrive in time, she was going to be too late, but Echidna didn't even move seeing the hands coming towards her like spears.
Sehkmet sighs, invoking her invisible hands that destroyed Envy's and was going to hold her, but Heilon stood in the middle and created a barrier of mana, blocking Sehkmet's hands, but his hands, although they were stopped, destroyed the barrier.
Heilon: (Even when I put everything into creating that barrier, she destroyed it like it was nothing...The Witch of Sloth is really strong.)
Envy was still angry and was willing to continue this conflict, even the other witches stood up from their place ready to retreat or fight. Echidna continued in her place with her smile and even with her hands extended towards Heilon, she did not move as if she already knew that Sehkmet was going to intervened.
Heilon: Envy, Please...Calm down.
He said looking at the now real Witch of Envy. Satella's destructive and possessive personality. Even though she is another personality, she is still Satella so he still treats her like he would treat Satella.
Heilon: Let me take care of this...
Envy: I love you...I love you...I won't let her hurt you.
She said with her possessive voice to which Heilon smiles and gently takes Satella's hand, he couldn't help but blush a bit since it was technically the first time he held the hand of a girl like that, but this calms Envy since the shadows stop being agitated
It had calmed her down even a little. Envy had apparently liked Heilon's willing tact. Heilon looks at Echidna seriously.
Heilon: I'll ask you something, Echidna. About Beatrice...does that 'person' exist? Why did you do it?
He asked her seriously, looking into her eyes. Those eyes are similar to those of Dalon, a person who has a goal and sees the other as their precious object to use to satisfy a need. He didn't like those eyes at all, they brought back so many bad memories. Echidna for her part when hearing about Beatrice and about that 'person' she couldn't help but continue smiling.
Echidna: Ah yes, my biggest mistake...Beatrice, even I don't know who that 'person' is. All this is just a simple experiment to see if Beatrice had a will of her own.
He and Beatrice were equals, created and raised to satisfy a need at the cost of their own freedom. He couldn't stop anger from filling his heart upon hearing her, even his mana aura aggressively covered him and cracked the ground below him.
SLAP
Everyone's eyes widened as they saw Heilon slap Echidna's cheek without hesitation. It was something that no one expected and not even Echidna herself who had her eyes open with her left cheek red without that smile of hers.
Disappointment was evident in Heilon's sharp eyes who slowly lowered his hand with which he slapped Echidna.
Heilon: Don't call Beaka a mistake...She loves you and followed your order for four centuries, alone and desperate she still continues to do what she promised you. She loves you like her mother and you just to satisfy your curiosity used her like a toy.
He knew that this could happen but he wanted to see if in this universe, Echidna's answer was different and if it was, perhaps he would consider her proposal but with this answer he already knew that he cannot accept it.
Heilon: This was a test to know the truth of whether to think about your proposal or not, I knew you were going to say this but I wanted to know...I wanted to hear it from you directly.
Echidna: You used me...
Heilon: Isn't that what you were planning to do to me? ¿Use me? Echidna...You have seen my life and how close I was with Raia and Dalon, your eyes are the same as Dalon's.
He said causing Echidna to open her eyes completely upon hearing that, she knew what he was talking about since as he said, she saw his life and is true, she was similar to Dalon. A person with the greed for something beyond and who would use others to complete her greatest desire.
Heilon: You want my desire, emotions, experience...You want everything from me like the Witch of Greed that you are, but no, I won't give it to you. I want a happy and perfect ending for everyone...It will be obvious that from time to time I will use Return By Death to save lives but I will not be your toy, I will not die thousands of times to satisfy your greed...Besides, I don't need to die so much to get what I want.
He said, remembering the Pride Route where that Heilon managed to defeat Reinhard, the strongest being in the world that he knows of with just a few attempts. Only Greed If exaggerated the attempts as he wanted to squeeze every last drop of progress out of the events.
Minerva: So you are planning to die!
Fornax: Are you willing? It's a silly question...your determination is great.
Typhon: Lon is a good person so I trusted him!
Minerva: Wait! I will not allow that self-destructive attitude! I know Satella doesn't want to either.
Minerva said angrily, she was holding back all this time from saying something but she couldn't take it anymore and like her sin, wrath manifested itself in her. Heilon knew that she and some would be against using Return By Death.
Heilon: I understand your displeasure, Minerva, but I don't plan to use Return By Death for pleasure, only when necessary-
Minerva: Don't give me that! Do you take death lightly? Are you so willing to throw away your life as if it were nothing!?
There was only silence in the place. Heilon continued to stare at her with his calm gaze and then spoke again.
Heilon: What is the value of life?
Minerva: ¿Ah?
Heilon: What is the value of life? I've always asked myself this since I arrived in the capital. I don't want to get philosophical but the shortest answer would be that there is only one and that you have to enjoy it to the fullest, but what happens when a person has infinite lifes? A person who cannot die?
Everyone was understanding the point he was trying to get at and Minerva wanted to respond but Heilon wouldn't let her.
Heilon: Like I said...I don't plan to die unnecessarily, but I will do what is necessary for everyone to live happily and if that is using this Authority...MY authority, then I will do it. Besides, you're not the one to talk...I'll end my life to show it.
Everyone: !
He said to create a dagger in that imaginary world and stick it in his chest, drawing a lot of blood. As expected, Minerva was the first to go with her fist, ready to heal him but Typhon stood in the middle of her trying to stop her.
Typhon: Lon made his decision, don't interfere!
Minerva: Don't stop me, Typhon!
Typhon manages to block Minerva's attack and thanks to the authority, she caused Minerva's hand to be destroyed.
Typhon was forcibly thrown away but Heilon caught her in the air and gently placed her on the ground while he pulled the dagger from his chest and healed himself for the surprises of the witches who did not know of his regenerative ability.
Heilon had recreated the scene where Subaru tries to commit suicide and everyone intervenes for their reasons.
Heilon: See? You are a hypocrite, Minerva...You talk about how I should value my life but you just showed that you were willing to destroy yourself just to heal me. You know that if you are destroyed on this plane, your soul will be destroyed.
Minerva opens her eyes at this as she heals her hand with her authority. She knew what Heilon was referring to and was even more upset knowing where Heilon was coming from.
Heilon: You are willing to end your own life if it helps the person in front of you...If your authority, instead of mana, needed your life force to heal, you would burn him to death without hesitation, right? Even knowing the risks of your power, you use it without hesitation even if you harm the lives of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.
He said calmly as he put his hands on his waist as he continued speaking.
Heilon: Then you are a hypocrite...Don't take it the wrong way since I respect you a lot but the truth is that you are no one to tell me that I should value my life when you yourself are suicidal, not only that but you have also brought destruction and risked your only life for your lack of patience, the counterpart of your sin. Your actions lead to suffering while mine only leads to my death that no one will remember.
He sighs as saying this was not easy but he had to prove his point.
Heilon: At least if I die, the world will be remade and no one will remember my death, but I do remember their deaths...And I don't want to see them die, that is worst than my own death.
He said a little tired and not wanting to imagine his friends dead. Now Heilon would look back at Echidna seeing that Minerva remained silent as she did not know what to respond to what he said.
Heilon: Echidna...I reject your contract; I will not be your or anyone else's toy. Maybe right now I don't have my own will and I'm programmed to get the happy ending but I want to think that I'm doing this of my own free will. I don't want to suffer more than necessary.
He said to look at her seriously, but offered his hand towards her.
Heilon: But I still want to make a contract with you, on my terms.
Echidna: You reject me and then ask me to work with you, you really are GREEDY.
Heilon: Sure, I'm greedy but of course I wouldn't ask this of you without something to offer in return...you like getting information, right? Well, I have a lot, so if you agree to work with me, I will give you knowledge.
That caught her attention and Heilon waved her hand a little, giving her to understand that if she takes his hand, she will receive some of the knowledge she longs for, so she took his hand.
System: Do you wish to transmit knowledge to the Witch of Greed, Echidna?
Heilon: (Yes)
Since he came to this world, the System constantly gave him universal basic knowledge and more about her world, so he hoped that would satisfy Echidna's hunger for knowledge a little bit for now.
The System was like a parasite that connects to everything that exists and just like a parasite begins to suck the knowledge of existence itself and he knew that Echidna was going to enjoy it.
Once the transfer progress began, the only thing that could be heard was Echidna's scream, causing everyone to become alert as her eyes turned white and she lost consciousness but Heilon held her before she fell to the ground.
Solaris: Well, this is unexpected...
Minerva approaches to check on her friend's condition but Heilon clarifies that she is fine, only her mind is overloaded with information and needs time.
Astra: I can't say it's not fun to see Echi fainted by what she wanted so much.
She said laughing a little at this situation while some of the witches with healing abilities tried to wake up Echidna. When she did, she rose from the ground as quickly as she woke up.
Meissa: Calm down, calm down... are you okay, Echidna?
Echidna: Am I okay? I'm better than fine!
She said with a big smile and her cheeks were blushing as she was excited after receiving so much new knowledge. She looks at Heilon with a smile and her eyes shining.
Heilon: Are you okay, for sure?
Echidna: It was wonderful, in a way you may never understand, Heilon Satsugai. The contract I offered you was a possibility of potential Infinite knowledge given the nature of your Authority. However, what you just showed me was actual tangible proof of said knowledge rather than so much information from so many sources, parallel and alternative sources across many different versions of reality that come together and always expand, never losing the trace of nothing. Simply growing and evolving, possibly forever. Time, space, reality, and even death itself have not prevented or caused the loss of any shred of knowledge in the slightest for a longer period than I ever anticipated.
She said it like it was a poem, smiling ecstatically as she gasped, blushing. Heilon must have deduced that she was talking about the Sistemo, although perhaps she was also talking about Unity, he doesn't know.
Echidna: Heilon, I must apologize to you...For seeing you in such a way and wanting to use you.
She said sighing while many of the witches were surprised by this sudden change in behavior but no one complained, although Heilon knew why she acted like that.
Heilon: You want more, don't you? That's why you act like this, right?
Echidna: I can't fool you. Now I do want to make this contract in exchange for that knowledge.
Sagitta: What could you expect.
Solaris: Nothing, nothing less could be expected from the Witch of Greed.
Although Heilon didn't care since this was the objective and now having Echidna in the contract, he just had to wait for the others. Satella was struggling to restrain Envy from attacking Echidna after learning that she only apologized to get more information out of Heilon.
But Heilon's gaze calmed her. Heilon approaches Satella to smile.
Heilon: So you're joining too? I also want you in the contract...I want you to be with me on this long road.
Satella: My beloved... Do you really want to make a contract with all of us, with me? You know that if you do, the miasma in you will grow and there will be people who link you more with us... with me above all.
Although she was very worried, she was also very happy and excited to make a contract to be with the person she loved. After being separated for so long, she wanted more than anything to be attached to him and with a contract she could do so without causing problems.
Heilon: I don't care if they think I'm part of the witch cult...If I have them and even more so YOU with me, I'll feel safe.
This made Satella's heart race. Feeling happy that he trusted her so much even if he lost his memories of her, he is still that strange but at the same time, so kind boy.
Satella: Very good...I will always be with you so I agree to make the contract with you as well.
Hadar: May I ask how you know so much? You have too much knowledge for someone who recently didn't remember anything.
Satella: Heilon knows the 'true world' unaltered by detours.
She said responding to Hadar, Heilon looks surprised at Satella who answered for him but it was actually a way of saying it but that means that Satella also has knowledge of the true canon world.
Maia: Does that mean you see the future or something?
Heilon: That's one way of saying it, but I do know things about the future and that's why I have knowledge that I'm not supposed to have.
This attracted more attention and obviously more from Echidna who wanted to ask but Satella's penetrating gaze prevented her from wanting to do so since it seemed like she was crossing a line that she shouldn't have, Satella's intimidating aura stopped when Heilon asked her something.
Heilon: Satella, do you still have the witches' bodies?
He asked since he had to confirm that the bodies of the witches were sealed with Satella since it was part of his plan. He needs those bodies to bring the witches back to life as part of the contract. Satella after a few moments nods slightly.
Satella: Yes, my beloved, I have their bodies and Authorities abandoned in my shadows in the seal with me.
Heilon nods although he wouldn't ask why since he knew it was a topic Satella didn't want to touch on. In the future he will know why. Although he admitted that he was very curious to know and apparently Satella has all the answers but Satella's fear for 'her' prevented him from speaking.
Pandora really was another important key point in this whole paradox puzzle. But now he had to focus on something else.
Heilon: Echidna, once I break the barrier, will this place still be useful for the trials?
Echidna understood that Heilon needed the evidence for some plan so she slightly nodded.
Echidna: You have to know that myself of this world is not the real Echidna but a copy created for the sanctuary trials. But yes, the test can continue to work even if you have passed it and broken the barrier.
Heilon: I know that, I plan to combine this YOU with the original you in the same body when you are revived. And thank you very much...I really need these trials for other people.
He said seriously since it was something he had to keep in mind but it still seemed like Satella wanted to tell him some things.
Heilon: Do you want to tell me something else, Satella? Do I need to know something else?
Satella seemed doubtful but decided to tell him more about what he did to her after her first death.
Satella: After your first death... I gave you an extra Factor, a Factor I took that belonged to you in the past and I gave it back. The Hope and Wish Factor or as you called it...Ruler Factor.
Heilon opened his eyes slightly since he did not know this and the System did not notify him. Plus he didn't get any extra skills from an authority.
Satella: If it is not activated, it is because you need large amounts of divine mana in your body to awaken it from its slumber. Now...I want to ask, what have you seen in your future trial?
Heilon looked at her for a few seconds, remembering the trial and its end, but his trial of the present and future will remain in his mind. He preferred to stay with those visions of the monster he was with him. Even if they were against parts of other worlds or simply a simulation created by the sanctuary and the System. it showed what he was capable of.
Heilon: An ending...The end of a path.
He said smiling at Satella to give her confidence but Satella understood that it was because he didn't want to talk about what he saw from the trial of the future.
Heilon: But I want to ask you, returning to the topic of the Extra Factor... Is it a Sage Factor?
Satella: You could say that, my beloved, Although it came from external forces.
Heilon: Why can't I activate it? Why do I need divine mana? Although I already have divine mana...
Satella: There are different types of manas and you need the divine one since this factor is involved with divinity...I hope you understood, my beloved.
Heilon: Yes, thank you very much, Satella...
Heilon nods understanding what she says. Although he needed a large amount of divine mana to awaken this Strange Factor. He now had to focus on the pact with the witches so he slowly offered his hand once more.
Heilon: So... Will you make the contract with me?
"Make them yours, take them all, let them be yours alone"
"They must be yours and no one else's"
"Totally for you and only for you"
Heilon feels the Lust and Envy Factor stir within him, as if it were slowly taking on a mind of its own and whispering in his mind. He even wondered if it was the Factors or was it his deepest desires?
Carmilla and Satella could feel it inside them. Their Factors resonated with those of Heilon who seemed focused on making the contract and ignoring his internal conflicts.
Echidna: I accept...of course, in exchange for that knowledge.
Typhon: If Lon would help defeat bad guys, then I accept too!
Sehkmet: If Typhon accepts then I will also... Accept.
She said sighing deeply as Typhon jumped with happiness, next was Minerva.
Minerva: If you're going to do something crazy like that then I accept too, you need someone to keep an eye on you and prevent you from doing something stupid, but I hope you heal people when you get my Authority!
Carmilla: I-I accept too, I want...I-I want to see this future together more than I want to see love blossom.
Daphne: You haven't convinced me yet Heirun...I have no reason to accept.
Heilon: You want to end world hunger, right? That is why you made the great Mabeasts, to feed the people except the black snake that only serves to lower the population. You should know that people cannot eat Mabeasts...Since it tastes disgusting to people, if I have you by my side we can end hunger and I will take away that hunger that consumes you.
Daphne remained silent and her Centipede Coffin began to shake and then she laughed loudly, quite excited by this.
Daphne: Interesting...so you're saying you'll help me?
Heilon: Not only you but your great beasts. With my authority of Lust perhaps I can do something to help them, even if they worked hard to compensate for the damage they caused...many lives were lost and although I understand that the beasts are only looking for food, they really killed many and are being used by the cult for their plans.
Echidna: And you don't slap her for her mistakes? You hurt my maiden heart.
Heilon: Because unlike you, Daphne created the great beasts with the intention of helping solve hunger while you did yours out of simple greed, even knowing the damage you would do to people.
Heilon pointed at Typhon as well.
Heilon: Typhon also did unquestionable things but dhe did it thinking dhe was doing good and that is partly the case since her authority works through people's sins although the guilt thing is another story but still, she did it with intentions pure
He looked back at Daphne, hoping she would agree after what he said.
Daphne: Very good! Heirun, it would be foolish of me to refuse a good deal after all...I accept.
Lynx: I agree...I really don't want to be stuck here forever.
Andromeda: I say the same as Lynx but I also want to see the outside world once again.
Carina: I accept since I want to redeem what I have done before and if by helping you I can at least heal a little of the damage I have done, then...I will help you without hesitation.
Hadar: My reasons are similar to those of my dear companions Andromeda and Carina, except that I am interested in what you will do, Heilon Satsugai. I agree.
Fornax: I really want to be free from this place so I'm willing to help you if it helps me get back to life. So I'll accept your offer.
Ara: I'll have to accept, I don't plan on staying here alone if all the previous ones are going.
Adhara: Well I'm interested in you, Heilon Satsugai so I accept!
Rasala: I'm really curious about this whole mystery between you and Satella, as a creator of legends I should know more so I'll help you, I agree!
Irena: My reasons are also similar to Carina since thanks to my actions I have harmed my lands so through you, I will help this world...I accept.
Natasha: This world is still very damaged so it still needs someone to make things right. The witch cult is a stain on the happiness of this world...so I hope that with my help you can heal this world, I accept.
Solaris: Although I don't have great motivations, I want to see how this ends and how you will do it...I accept.
Nihal: Heilon, I accept so I hope you use this power to achieve the happy and perfect ending you want.
Azha: I will accept your proposal. Just don't make a mess like many of us did back in the day.
Maia: What can I say? Obviously I accept! This will really be a unique adventure...all together to help the world, don't you think it's ironic?
Zosma: It is, but it is a perfect opportunity for all of us to do something to redeem our sins...I accept.
Nashira: Do I have to say it? I agree, there's not much to say here.
Diya: Obviously you were going to accept, Nashira. You have always been so kind so I accept since I can't leave you alone on this adventure.
Electra: I accept since I am bored here and your great determination to help and achieve this ending that seems impossible has really caught my attention.
Aquila: I don't want injustice, I left many things behind, but if you are willing to help us then I will help you, I accept.
Aries: I'm really interested in this whole love thing here. Heilon...in your eyes I can see that you are compatible with all of us and I must admit that you are very interesting and I think that-
She could not finish when a hand of shadows hits the ground near Aries who with a smile backs away seeing that it was Satella who interrupted her.
Aries: I was just playing, Satella~ don't be jealous, I agree to help you!
Spica: You are playing with fire, Aries, Or rather, shadows. I will not detail, but I will simply agree to make this pact to help others.
Musca: I also want to discover the truth of these 'detours' and I see that Satella, Heilon and the witch of vainglory must have something to do with all this so I accept.
Asta: I have a similar curiosity to Musca about all these 'detours' that are putting the balance in danger so I accept, if with my help you would improve the world then it would be stupid to reject it.
Danica: This world is plagued with so many conflicts, if you are able to stop them then I agree to help you.
Deva: This will be a long road but I hope that together we can reach the end and see this dream come true, I accept.
Celena: If my experience and help help us all here have what we want, I don't have to refuse, I will gladly accept.
Linus: I want you to teach me your great will and break the threads of destiny and achieve this beautiful ending, I want to be there for that historic moment so I will accept.
Kuu: I want to see the world once more like the others and more about what my beast familiars do. I will accept.
Daphne: I really can't believe you created creatures to counter mine.
Kuu: Tee hee.
Daphne: Don't tee hee me!
Astra: I am with Typhon, those with power should use it to do good and protect the weak so I gladly accept and I hope that together we help many...I accept!
Meissa: Many are losing their light in this world and I see your desire to help, Heilon...I will trust you and expect a lot from you, I accept.
Sagitta: I will have to accept since someone must be the voice of reason among so many witches.
All the witches agreed to make the contract with Heilon and help him on his path in exchange for reviving them and fulfilling their requests, even if he has to carry almost 40 witches, it is totally worth it. If Sloth If did it, then he will do it too in his own way.
Satella didn't even have to say she accepted since the hug she gave Heilon from behind said it all. Heilon with a smile looked at Echidna.
Echidna: Your eyes really do something to witches... Well, let's make the conditions to complete the contract.
They all put their hands on different parts of Heilon's body since physical contact was needed to be made. Once we finished discussing the conditions, all that was left was for Heilon to accept.
Echidna: Our doors will merge with yours so you will feel strange or even bad for a while. We will hear and see everything around you, so say goodbye to your privacy.
Heiko: It's not like he had it in the first place hahaha.
He said laughing as he took Heilon's seat which was empty as Heilon was standing making the contract.
Echidna: Even when we are revived, we will be contracted to help you until you decide to break the contract. Do you accept?
Heilon: I agree.
He said nodding his head, completing the contract with the witches while Satella listened and watched all this carefully.
Envy: (Seriously, I'll let them make the contract, you know the charm our beloved has and now there will be more with him... I tolerated him sharing our secret, but this-)
Satella: (Just shut up, so we'll be with him again...We can protect him instead of being sealed, even if it's indirectly)
She said to silence her second personality. Always in constant internal arguments but this time, Satella wins and silences Envy in her being.
Heilon: So, are you ready to start your adventure with me?
Some smile and others nod ready for this new path they will take. The contract was made and Heilon feels how his body felt strange, but it was normal, their souls were entering his Od and his gate was being altered since it was merging with theirs.
Once this is done, he walks to the door that was in that world and opens it, taking him to Echidna's tomb where her body was inside a glass coffin. Heilon feels the Miasma around him become denser and his aura begins to change.
Heilon smiles confidently as he clenches his fists tightly.
Heilon: Well, here begins your redemption arcs!
End of Chapter.
