Rated M for Fantasy Violence, Language, Lemons(in later chapters), Monsters, and Female OC x Yuri/Futa Harem(again in later chapters)
This will also be my first X-Over that doesn't involve some of my usual stuff so remember that I DO NOT OWN any of the Songs that make appear here or any Elements of The Owl House, Monster Musume, Monster Girl Encyclopedia, Adventure Time, The Troop, or any other Series since everyone here is mostly OC/Original Characters.
Now let get on with the Prequel!
/ / / / /
It was a stormy night in the City of Bellwood as a small Child was running through the streets crying as her entire body was glowing like a blinking beacon as many emotions were surging through her. The Child was a little Girl who looked no older than 7 or 8 years as her messy hair which was dampen by the heavy rain flashed from her natural Black to glowing Magenta while her skin shifted between her natural Tanned-color to Midnight-Violet. Her clothes were a plain Gray Shirt and Shorts that had some tears showing that she had just gotten beaten judging by the bruises and cuts on her skin as she was also running bare foot.
"Why does Weslyn always screw up?! Why can't Weslyn do anything right?!" the Girl cried out referring to herself in the third-person due to stress as tears left her Greyish-Green eyes which were now heavily pink from both her crying as well as the rain hitting her face as she recalled why she was crying in the first place.
Her Mother had disowned her, disowned her as a Daughter and threw her out all the while yelling how she was just a worthless mistake wishing that she was never born since she was expecting one child but instead gotten twins. Not that she ever treated her like a Daughter to begin with since she was always focused on her Brother claiming that he was the perfect child as well a child genius while she was the complete opposite.
And by that she meant that her Brother took more after their Mother than she did doing everything fine like lessons from Private School as well as Science while she was average at best.
While her Mother and Twin Brother were into Science, she was more into Magic especially when she accidently discovered her own ability from a near death experience when she was 4. She was so excited to learn that she could do magic she went and shown her Mother thinking she would be proud…
…
…And man was she wrong since instead of being impressed her Mother instead began beating her as well as yelling and forbidding her from ever using that wrenched ability ever again! So she only practiced in secret even though her abuse had gotten worse due to her poor School grades or skipping the day entirely only to get equally poor results leading to a lot of terrible mishaps that were luckily not traced back to her.
Seeing as she wasn't getting anywhere on her own, she decided to sneak to an Enrollment Exam for a Magic School since those were very few and very rare this morning…
…
…Only for things to go terribly wrong since some of the better Students got into her head saying how much of a loser she was thinking she would never get in so when one of the Teachers requested she does a Spell, she immediately choked upon realizing that she hadn't mastered any Spells yet so she decided to do a simple Light Spell and things were going well if she focused long enough until the Instructor yawned before loudly demanding she does something better causing her to lose focus and accidently set the whole room on fire!
Desperately yelling for her to put the fire out she tried using a Wind Spell only to make things worse since she never realized that her whole body was blinking due to a mixture of emotional stress and mental pressure that instead of putting the fire out, it became sentient forming a giant Fire Golem that began its fiery rampage among the Students and Staffs before she quickly running away out of both fear and shame heading straight home, leaving the Students and Staff to fend for themselves since she'll only make things worse, only to find her Mother standing there with a very angry look as she started beating and yelling at her again as well as burning all her Fantasy/Adventure Novels and Books she found saying that she was a freak for owning such garbage and calling her stupid about thinking she could keep this a secret.
After suffering some more physical, verbal, and emotional abused something inside her just snapped and the next thing she knew a astral clawed hand was piecing her Mother's chest as she began yelling something she herself didn't even knew before stepping away in fright as her Mother coughed before disowning her saying that she was no child of her and that she was nothing but a freak and an abomination before yelling at her to leave and never come back!
/ / /Chapter 1: Pages of new Beginnings/ / /
Running so fast on the wet sidewalk Weslyn slipped falling right into an alley as she held her scraped knee hissing in pain as the rain hit the tendered spot. "Why? Why can't Weslyn have happiness? Why Weslyn Magic dangerous?" the small girl whimpered as the scrap on her knee slowly began healing as her small form radiant a soft glow while she continued to get soaked by the rain.
"{Breaking News! A terrifying Fire Golem attacked Downtown Bellwood destroying several building as well burning dozens of people alive leaving a small handful severely injured before finally being stopped by Team Tennyson.}" the News Anchor said getting Weslyn to look up at the many Billboard-sized Hover-screens showing everything from the Golem's Rampage to its defeat to the destroyed buildings to the casualties making her feel even worse.
"Why Weslyn's Magic bad Magic? Is Weslyn cursed?! Is Weslyn freak and abomination?!" she sobbed loudly clenching her head as the magical aura surrounding her started to lash out uncontrollably striking the Hover-screens causing them to spark before exploding. "Weslyn freak! Weslyn abomination! Weslyn nothing but mistake! Weslyn wants real home! Weslyn wants real friends! Weslyn wants to know real LOVE!" she cried out standing straight up to her feet recalling how terrible her life had been.
She doesn't have any friends since all the kids at those Private Schools hated her for being weird and not normal. Her Mother cares more about her twin brother while treating her like dirt with all her abuse! And she doesn't have any other Family to turn to since she'd been kept isolated her whole life!
The closest thing she ever had to real friends were the characters from her Books but now they're gone so now she was all alone! No friends, no family, no one! So deep in her emotional turmoil, Weslyn never realized her entire body shifting into a glowing Violet Humanoid while her hair turned into blight glowing Pink energy that were whipping around wildly as she slowly opened her eyes with were now glowing Pink as she looked down at her Violet colored skin as she began trembling in fear.
"M-NO! Kai was right, Wessy is Freak! Wessy is Abomination!" Weslyn whimpered as the mental stress was really overwhelming her to now speak like a small Toddler as her voice was now sounding broken and high-pitched as she stared in fear as her hands slowly began to shift into claws.
"YO! Anodite Kid, don't move!" a loud Male voice called getting the frighten girl's attention as she saw a large Red Humanoid with four arms wearing White and Black Body-armor heading towards her as she looked around wondering who he was talking to only to be grabbed into the Man's arms. "Manny to Plumber HQ, I found an Anodite Child wondering the streets, requesting transport." The now identified Manny said over his communicator while the girl in his arms was struggling to get lose.
"Let Wessy go! Let Wessygo!" Weslyn cried completely scared out of her mind since she has no idea what an Anodite is but she wasn't going to let this sick Man take her away! She may not be the brightest candle but she heard all about these people who take children off the streets to become their personal playthings and was not going to become their next victim! "Wessy not plaything! Wessy won't let sick Man take her!" she cried struggling even harder unaware of her body glowing brighter as her magic started to build up.
"Will you stop st-!" the Plumber tried saying but was completely caught off-guard by what happened next.
PAAAA-BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM! ! !
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Manny cried out as Weslyn's entire body released a pulse explosion launching him right into one of the very tall buildings across the street.
Panting tiredly as well having her clothes disintegrated by the explosion, the Halfling quickly got up to her feet and began making a break for it as the storm kept raging on.
"Grrrraaaaa~… This is Manny calling for back-up, we got a runner!" Manny groaned picking himself up from the pile of rumble as he called for back-up as he began making chase all the while wondering how and why he got stuck with this.
/ / / / /
"Wesyln run! Weslyn don't belong here! Wesyln never belonged here!" Wesyln repeated to herself as she continued running seeing as she never really felt like she belonged here or anywhere since her former Mother was right about her. A screw-up, a mistake, an accident, a Freak! Abomination! Worthless! Disappointment! A HYDIOUS FREAK OF NATURE THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN BORN! As these thoughts rushed through her head, her body began glowing again but this time sparks were circuiting around her as Lampposts and windows were shattering as she ran by them.
The more she ran the more she recalled every negative thing that happened in her entire life, the kids who bullied her, the teachers who hated her, even her own Mother hated her because in her eyes she was nothing but a Failure! A Disappointment! An Abomination just because she has Magic while her Brother didn't, claiming him to be more 'Normal' than she'll never be!
"Wessy wants new Mommy! Wessy wants new Family! Wessy wants new happy life! Wessy want to be free! Wessy wants to be herself!" Weslyn cried out, her mind, once again, shift into that of an even smaller child, as thunder bellowed and lightning flashed as she continued crying as well sparking uncontrollably. "Wessy wants friends! Wessy wants to learn control of powers! Wessy wants to no longer be screw-up!" she cried as her magic shot out in random directions either destroying whatever they hit or bringing them to life as they began their own rampage before falling over and clenching her head in pain as all the mental and emotional stress she endured for years were now catching up as her magic was acting out even more wildly as her energy hair was thrashing around.
For as long as she could remember, Weslyn had always dreamed about going on magical adventures as well as meeting some magical creatures and even becoming a mistress of magic herself just like the characters from her books so the day she discovered her ability to use magic it became the happiest day of her life since it was like a dream come true…
…
…Only for it to quickly become a nightmare since her Mother's abuse became even harsher as well something terrible going wrong every time she practice her spells. Tried using a Growth Spell to turn a single Apple seed into an Apple tree, only for it to misfire and hit a Lobster causing the selfish to grow and turn into 75ft Lobzilla that destroyed nearly half of the Coastal part of Maine. Tried using a Wind Spell to practice levitating only to create a small hoard of Dragons made completely out of wind that destroyed so many buildings in New York. And tried using a Teleportation Spell only to replace 95percent of a Man's body with butt-cheeks which was pretty funny but still, every time she tried a different spell everything goes terribly wrong!
So far the only spells she managed to do okay with were her Hamster-ball Protection Spell and Light Spell, but those require a whole lot of focus on her part which was asking a lot since given her very poor school grades with the highest one being a D+ at best.
"Yo Squirt! Stop there right now!" hearing the Man's voice calling out Weslyn turned her head to see the Plumber heading her way causing her small body to crackle as she quickly stood up.
"Stay away Sick Creep!" Weslyn cried out in fear pushing her arms and hands in front of her not even realizing that her whole body was glowing very brightly as sparks danced around her arms down to her palms before suddenly firing as very powerful magical energy blast that launched right off her feet while rocketing straight towards the Plumber Agent.
However, due to the height and size differences between them, Weslyn's extremely built-up energy blast nailed Manny very, very, hard…
...
... right between the legs.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" the Tetramand's cry of pain was loud and agonizing as his scream turned very high pitch causing some nearby animals to howl or cry out as he quickly fell over clenching his tender area as the lower part of his armor was destroyed also while his eyes became soaked with rain water and tears of pain as he just laid there waiting for that back-up to show.
/ / / / /
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! OOWWW!! Oooohhhhhh~… … …" Weslyn screamed as she was launched several blocks before suddenly creating a large sphere of energy around herself as she rocked and rolled impacting against several of the buildings like a Pinball game, the violent movements causing her small body to shake around like a ragdoll, before stopping as she hits another wall moaning from the rough movement as well as extreme dizziness. "S-Score o-one f-for the H-Hamster B-Ball~…" she groaned trying to raise her hand up only to fall back down as she was seriously dizzy.
Laying down for a moment to catch her breath, as well wait for her dizziness to subside, the little girl pushed herself back to her feet struggling a bit as she used the wall to help steady herself before jumping up as a loud crash of lightning startled her as she quickly braced herself for hitting the ground only to feel nothing. Slowly cracking an eye open, she noticed that she was levitating a couple inches off the ground causing her to gasp in surprise since she been trying to learn the Levitation Spell for 3 years. Though it may not be much height off the ground, but at least she wasn't being hurled upward in the Sky or Sun so she'll take what she could get.
"I-I d-did it? I-I f-finally learn Levitation?" she asked herself as her mind slowly returned to normal as well shaking a little in excitement since she was finally making process with her magical abilities that she couldn't help but smile as she was now feeling like one of the Mages from her Novels where they first started to learn basic levitation. "WHOO-ooooaaaahhhh! ! !" too bad the moment was ruined when Weslyn cried out as she was suddenly bounded by a net as she squirmed trying to move only for her eyes to widen in fear as she saw three other people dressed in the same Body-armor as the one who was chasing her.
"This is the kid who did that to Strongarm? She can't be more than 6 or 7 years old?" The Female of the three questioned causing Weslyn to sit up and glare at her.
"HEY, I'm 7 and a half!" the glowing girl exclaimed angrily though her cheeks puffed up which made it look more like a cute pout than an angry glare.
"Heh, Big bad Manny taken down by a small fry? I can't wait to rub it in his face after He recovers." The short Male chuckled even though his fellow Plumber was rushed to the Base for Medical care.
"I am not short! I'm just… Physically challenged is all." Weslyn snapped back before looking down with an embarrassed blush on her face, which was very hard to see due to her glowing Violet skin, since she was small for her child her age which made her a major target for the Bullies at school calling her Shrimp, Pimp-squeak, as well as many of the more Animal-like Teachers and Students calling her the 'Runt of the Litter' since she was easy pickings to them as she had been shoved into Lockers, Trash-bins, and even one of her Teacher's purse that one time so it was a very sore spot for her.
"Either way, we better take this Anodite back to Base and contact her Parents." The taller, skinnier Male said causing Weslyn's eyes to widen in fear meaning that they were going to take her back to the Monster who disowned her as she squirmed trying to undo her binds as the three approached her.
"N-Nononono! ! !" she quickly stuttered as she doesn't want to go back to that cruel Bitch of an Egg-donor! "Wessycan't go back! Wessy won't go back!" she started speaking to herself as panic filled her voice since her former Mother yelled at her to never return and she does not want any more beatings as the stress of just thinking about it was causing her to have a panic-attack! "Wessy won't go back! Wessy can't go back!" she continued now sounding like a broken record as her entire body was glowing brightly. "Wessy can't go back! Wessy won't go back!" she kept saying as she recalled all the harsh beatings as well cruel verbal abuse that she had endured for years as her body was glowing brighter and brighter while her magic kept building and building.
"Um, is it just me, or is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?" the short Male Plumber asked with a worried filled voice as they saw the Anodite Child trembling as well glowing very, very, brightly.
Meanwhile Weslyn was after a serious mental breakdown as she recalled all the worst things in her life. Her Mother's Abuse, her Brother's cocky attitude towards her, everything from the Bullies of her School to the massive failures in her life and how everyone either ignored, neglected, harassed, mocked, and downright hated her just for being herself. The more she thought about it the more her magic began to lash out as she felt many feeling swirling within her like Anger, Sadness, Loneness, Abandonment, Emptiness, Self-hatred, Self-pity, Self-loathing, and Self-disappointment as she continued to repeat to herself.
"Uh, I may not be and expert on other Aliens, but I don't think that should be possible." The only Woman in the group stated nervously as they watched as with and rain swirled around the girl.
"Wessy won't go back! Wessy can't go back!" Weslyn repeated this time louder so the three Plumbers could hear her while she felt her heart pounding, her head hurting, and her eyes widening as her body twitched and ached as her breathing became ragged. She didn't know what was happening but felt something deep within her trying to break free. Something Fierce. Something Dangerous. Something Angry. Something Ferocious!
"Guys, I feel impending doom. We should call in reinforcement, NOW!" the tall Male exclaimed as they slowly backed away and was about to call Head-quarters only to be knocked down by a pulse of energy coming straight from the Anodite in front of them as her small trashing body was glowing brighter by the minute.
Now I'm scared to even open my mouth!~
Because there's something deep inside of me you don't know about!~
"Wessy can't go back! Wessy won't go back!" she said as her teeth started to sharpen while reptilian slit pupils appeared in her eyes.
And I wish there was a way you could see!~
If I could show maybe I'd know if I'm a man or a beast!~
"Wessy won't go back! Wessy can't go back!" she repeated this time growling as the net binding her began to tear away by the sharp boney spines and tail growing from her back while her hands and feet shifted into claws/talons.
Just take one look in my eyes!~
You'd see right through my disguise!~
She says that when I'm nearby that she could feel my every move!~
"Wessy can't go back! WESSYWON'T GO BAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWW! ! ! ! !" she started before screaming which quickly turned into a screeching roar as her whole body glowed nova bright as her small frame began growing and shifting into a completely different form.
When I fell apart!~
Yeah, something changed in my heart!~
As you can tell from these scars I'm not the man that you knew before!~
"RRRRRRROOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW! ! ! ! !" the once former child released a loud screeching roar as the three Plumbers trembled in fear as they have never seen something like this before.
I found something that makes me feel alive, yet somehow dead inside!~
It makes me feel, it makes me numb at once!~
"Quick, fire!" the tall Male commanded as the three began firing at the Beast before them.
It makes no sense!~
Yet it still helps me see!~
The three continued blasting only for the creature to flap her huge wings blowing them back before firing a beam of magical energy from her maw knocking them down as well destroying their weapons. """AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! ! !""" the three Plumbers could only scream only to be drowned out by the sounds of the storm as the beast came at them charging up another beam within her maw.
So am I soon to be the monster that I despise?!~
"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW! ! ! ! !" the creature screeched as she blasted her energy beam at the three Plumbers as there was a massive flash of Magical-Pink light mixed with that of the lightning from the storm before everything when dark.
/ / /? ? ?/ / /
Sounds of water dripping could only be heard as rain water rushed down the storm drains as the Sunlight beamed slowly from behind the blanket of storm clouds but the gentle booming of thunder proved the this brief moment was only temporary.
"Ggggrrrroooo~…." Weslyn slowly groaned as she was lying face down on a crate as she slowly but surely began to wake up. "Ooooooooowwwww~…. My heeeeaaaadd~…" she groaned in discomfort resting her hands against her aching head as her eyes cracked open to see that her skin was back to her natural Tanned color while seeing strands of her Black color hair.
Seeing as she was back to normal, the young girl released a breath of relief as fear began to creep into her heart. 'Can't believe I lost control again, which has happened before but not this bad. But now I'm disowned sitting lying naked on a crate flooding through Undertown but luckily nobody's around.' She thought as while she doesn't remember what happened after her run-in with those three armored people but right now she needs a change of clothes since her were destroyed as she blushed from embarrassment while glad no one was up.
Looking around she spotted a bunch of clothes lines before concentrating as she levitated herself over there. After several minutes, as well nearly falling into the River, she slowly and quietly looked around for clothes her size before fitting and putting on a Baby-Blue Shirt with a picture of a baby Duck on it, Long-legged Overalls that covered a lot of her torso and had a large pocket in the front, and finally a pair of White Knee-socks and Black Slip-on Shoes.
"Hmm… Now this I feel more comfortable in…" Weslyn hummed as she looked herself over using the water's reflective surface as her cheeks were dusted since she decided not to put on any underwear. "Well as least it will cut back on the wedgies…" she muttered to herself since she lost a lot of pairs from either Bullies, Trees, the School's fence, and Peacocks…
…
…How those things always attack her she'll never understand since she was afraid of those feathered Fiends as she shuddered just thinking about all those run-ins.
Pushing those thoughts away Weslyn smiled since she could now finally wearing the clothes she wanted to wear that wasn't a School's Uniform or anything else her Mother forced her to wear.
~Grumble~
Hearing the sound of her stomach growling Weslyn placed her hands right there as she realized she hadn't eaten since yesterday. "Okay Weslyn think, you have no food, no money, no control over your magical powers, and no one to turn to for help. Think Wessy think?" she said to herself as she thought about her situation.
She has no Family to go see since she doesn't know anything about her Father's side while her Mother completely disowned her.
She has no Friends to ask for help from since none of the kids at School liked her due to her being 'weird and odd' all the time like bringing in a bunch of Snake for a Book report in History Class or sculpting a Minotaur out of clay for Art Class when they were doing pottery while closest things she got to real friends were the Characters from her Novels but those were destroyed.
She can't go back top-side since those people might still be after her claiming her to be some Anodock?… Anaduck?... Anudunk?... whatever they claimed her to be since she's clearly a Human with Magical Abilities… right?
But more importantly she has no control over her abilities since she so far barely master three Spells while all the other ones she tried to learn ended up either creating a Monster, destroying something, or even both at the same time.
"Okay Wesyln okay, so far you have a Light Spell which set part of a City on fire, a Protection Sphere Spell that hardy appears when you need it to, and a Levitation Spell that you're still struggling with but at least you still got it down now." Weslyn said to herself as she quietly snuck through the Town on her way to the Market area hoping to find something to eat before recalling all those past errors that happened trying to learn those three.
Finally spotting the Market, she walked by all the stands seeing no one in sight as she searched for something to snack on while thinking about the other spells she tried to learn only to come up short or creating a serious mess of things. Besides those three she gotten a bit of a handle of, she still have trouble with like Growth, Wind, Teleportation, and due to what happened yesterday Fire and Energy added as well.
Growth Magic was an aid for Plant Magic like growing seeds or saplings into full grown plants but seems to affect other living things as well if the Lobzilla incident taught her anything as well as some others.
Wind Magic is an Elemental Class of magic along with similar classes like Storm and Air that involves the manipulation of air itself that can be either helpful and/or destructive but can also take a more physical shape if that creation of Wind Dragons was anything to go by as well as others she created by accident.
Finally Teleportation Magic was a tough one since it involves bending Time and Space by transporting a person or object from one place to another and she barely had trouble with that since she only been practicing it on empty cans and bottles until a random Man startled her and she accidently teleported him away. Fortunately it was across the street, unfortunately almost every part of his body was replaced with butt-cheeks and every time he moved sounds of squeaks and toots were always heard.
Now the newest ones, Fire and Energy, were completely new to her but given what happened, she thinks it might be better to lay low for a while.
"Just like Trixa's Mage Teacher Hexabelle always said, 'Magic may be powerful, but it's not eternal. When Magic is unstable, give it the time to balance itself out.' And right now I really need to take a break to wrap my head around this." Weslyn said calmly to herself, quoting the line from her favorite Graphic Novel 'Mystical Mage Trixa Lunarlight' which she's really big fan of, since what happened yesterday was something she doesn't want a repeat of, especially with all the mental and emotional stress she suffered.
Finally finding a stand with some Fruit on it she took a couple and began eating. As she ate the weird looking fruits, she began eating hoping that something might come to her. Tasting the bitterness of the Fruit, she just endured it and continued to take bites out of it all the while hugging herself wondering if she'll even find a place to actually call home.
"Wish I could just find some sort of dimensional door or something since anywhere would be better than this place." Weslyn muttered emotionlessly while chucking the first fruit core she finished towards a trash bin across the stand smiling a little as the core crashed against the rim bouncing upward before falling in. "Well at least there is one good thing about this, I no longer had to go to that Prep School ever again." She stated since that Prep School her former Mother placed her in felt more like a prison since that place was only for child genius like her Brother but to her, she felt like a tiny Caterpillar in a Forest full of Birds since she was no genius.
Sure she was good at Art since her clay Minotaur was nearly life-like but that's all she's good at since she was terrible at Math, History, Engineering, and she was just AWFUL at Science since she only knows the basic Elementary level so if anything she just should have been place in a normal School but no, her Mother had to place in a Private Prep School for snobby, bratty, spoiled, pampered, cocky, arrogant!, self-centered!
"AAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH! ! !"
BLAAAAAASSSSS-PPPOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! ! !
Weslyn screamed in frustration as she fired an energy blast as the trash bin causing it to explode while leaving a big smoky crater where it once was before a large piece of it fell into the water as the girl took some calming breathes.
"Okay, clearly I need someone to teach me how to control myself since my Magic is clearly linked with my emotions. But who or where can I find someone to teach me?!" Weslyn loudly questioned herself not seeing the many hover-screens showing a certain Orange hair Sorceress. "That's it!" she exclaimed snapping her fingers as she saw something that could lead her to her future Mentor.
Rushing past all the hover-screens she stopped in front of a lamp post and tore off one of the many fliers and quickly blew on it, couching as there was a lot of dust on it, before wiping her hand over the piece of paper showing a picture of an old Library as well an address along with different kinds of books for different kinds of subjects.
"That's where I need to go. With all those kinds of books I'm sure I can find a Teacher there to teach better control." Weslyn said excitedly as an extremely happy grin slowly appeared on her face as her body shook while her eyes light up. "YEEEESSSSSSS! ! !" she squealed excitedly since she could finally make her dream a reality as she jumped up and began levitating in place for a few moments before landing back on her feet. "I declare this to all those who mocked me! Watch and be amazed as I, Weslyn, former Daughter of Kai Green as well an Unknown Father, carve my own path of destiny into a future Mistress of Magic!" she declared while proudly standing tall with one hand clenched against her chest and a determine look on her face as her messy Black hair gently blew in the breeze looking like a cute child playing as their favorite character from an adventure game or movie.
"In all of your stupid looking faces you dumb-dumb puppets!~" she exclaimed immaturely since she was still only a kid as she ran off in search for this Library and for what she really hoped for, someone to actually teach her.
/ / /A Couple Months Later, ? ? ?/ / /
"Well it took a few Months, but I'm finally here." Weslyn said to herself as she stood on top of a grassy hill wearing a Green Poncho and matching Rain-boots as it was raining hard. "Though, the place seems a lot different than it does on paper." She mumbled looking at the flier in her hands then at the building since it looked like it seen better days.
"Well like that old saying goes, 'Beggars can't be choosers' and I really need a Magic Teacher." She stated as she ran down the hill towards the Library hoping to find someone inside. "WWWHHOOO-OOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! ! !" she cried out losing her footing on the wet grass causing to slip and fall face down as she slid all the way down.
Once reaching the front doors, the soon-to-be 8 year old pushed herself out of the mud that piled in front her before coughing out the mud that got in her mouth. "Gaahg~ Cough!~ Okay, I'm here." Weslyn said after coughing out the mud in her mouth but noticed that the doors were locked. "Now I just need to figure out a way in? What to do, what to do?" she wondered out loud before spying some rocks and back at the door as well as a nearby window as an idea came to her.
/ / / / /
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG! Click-click~!
"Whoo!~ It took a few rocks but I finally managed to break the knob off." Weslyn proudly said to herself with a smile as she pushed the door open before whistling at the inside. "Yikes~ Guess someone missed quite a few Spring cleanings." She added seeing that the place was just as bad on the inside as there were broken/loose floor boards, stair rails, and a very large amount of cob-webs.
Walking towards the Study, Weslyn took off the Poncho revealing that she was now dressed in a Sailors Uniform with a Duffel bag on her back which was full of clothes as well replacement Novels as well as some new ones so she can now see where her old ones left off.
"I really am glad I found that I came across all those Yard Sales as well as all those Odd Jobs so that I could afford all these." Weslyn said dropping the bag off her shoulders, rolling them as she sighed in relief to take a load off, as she opened her bag showing some new suits of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and her Novels along with some healthy snacks bars and some water bottles.
Pulling out one of the snack bars, she opened the wrapping and placed the bar into her mouth before using a Light Spell to create a small orb of light before rolling her hands around it like clay turning the orb into a long glow-stick. "And I am also glad to had figured out I could make the light change shape." The soon-to-be Witch said with a smile since she discovered this neat little trick by accident since it was just like making Balloon-animals.
Creating a few smaller light orbs, Weslyn placed them around her Poncho so it could dry as she made her way into the Study. "Hello, any Witches and/or Warlocks here? I'm Weslyn and I'm hoping to find a Teacher." She called looking around the room hoping to get an answer only to hear nothing in return.
Not wanting to give up, she kept walking around hoping to find someone. "WHOO-OOOAAAA! ! !" only to scream as she tripped over a bunch of dust covered books as she fell face-first onto the floor. "Woa Moa, wagoan? (Oh Man, again?)" she groaned before pushing herself up as well spitting out the dust that got in her mouth, even though it did taste better than what they were serving on the Boat she came here on which was where she just her super cute Sailor Suit since it was nearly identical to her favorite Sea Sorceress/Adventurer Tida from another one of her favorite Novels 'Salty Tides; Tales of the Seven Seas' as she was a huge fan of these kind of Graphic Novels that she just love!
"Bet Tida never had to worried about this much dust, pphaa~" Weslyn muttered spitting out more dust before sneezing a bit.
/ / /A Couple Hours Later/ / /
Once cleaning her face as well getting her sneezing under control, Weslyn spent the next few hours trying to see if there was anyone here, only to turn up finding no one. Seeing since she came all this way, she might as well see what this Library got.
"Hmm, well that's something you don't see every day." She said out loud seeing a glass case at the end of the room. Walking towards it, she noticed that inside was a large thick leather-backed book with a belt-strap keeping it closed as well as what looked to be a Demonic-looking eye surrounded by different symbols on the cover.
"I don't think I've ever seen a Book like that before…" Weslyn said with awe as she stepped forward and wiped the dust off the plaque and read the engraving on it. "{Unknown Tome Discovered in / / / / / by Explorer / / / / /} " she read but part of the plaque was scratched off meaning where this Tome was found as well as the person who discovered it would forever remain unknown. "Wow, guess this place must have been empty for years… … …So much for finding a Teacher." She said sadly with a discouraged look on her face as tears started to appear in her eyes.
Feeling that she might never find the help she needs, her thoughts began to fill with sad and angry thoughts but not at the problem. No, she was feeling these emotions towards herself as she was sad she will never find someone to help her control her Magic and therefore will always be alone and unwanted because she now has nowhere else to go. And she was angry at herself because now with no one to teach her, she'll always just cause some kind of destructive incident or create some kind of dangerous creature that will wreck anything in its path meaning she'll always be a danger to anyone and everyone around her cursing her to become even more alone.
With tears now flowing down her face, Weslyn clenched her hands tightly as her body began glowing and trembling as dark thoughts filled her head. 'I traveled through Towns, Fields, Wild Animal Attacks, Terrible Weather, and so much more to get here only to find NOTHING! Does my life always have to be some sick joke for other peoples AMUSEMENT?! ?! ?! My whole life I endured everything that Bitch put me through! I done everything she and everyone else told me to only to make my own life WORSE! ! !' she mentally yelled as her anger continued to boil, clenching her eyes shut as tears continued so she never noticed her body shifting again as the place began to shake.
'I have waited long enough! I want to learn Magic! I want to learn better Control! I just WANT SOMEONE TO BE PROUD OF ME! ! ! ! !' she mentally screamed before breaking down and just cried slumping to her knees because now she's all alone with no one to even care about her meaning that no one will really missed her due to how her life been.
"All I-I-I wanted w-was hic for someone to care hic about me! S-Someone hic w-who actually cared hic about m-my feelings! Someone I-I hic k-know that would hic always be there for hic m-me!" Weslyn sobbed as her voice was broken and hiccupping from all the emotions she kept bottled up as her magic was pulsing around the area causing cracks to form over the glass case. Clenching her hands to her chest she felt an all too familiar pain she knew all too well. Emptiness, Sadness, Loneliness, feelings she always woke up to in the morning and cried herself to sleep in the night.
So deep within her emotional turmoil, she never even noticed the cracks sprending over the case the Tome was in until…
CRAAAACCCCCK! ! ! ~SSSSShaaaaaaaatttttttteeeerrrr~
"Huh?" Weslyn questioned hearing the sound of glass shattering which caused her magic to slow down while her form returned to normal as she saw that the case shattered into a bunch of dust-like pieces. Seeing the Tome, she felt the need to read it overcame her since there was nobody here to teach, then maybe she could try learning on her own again but this time she would have something to actually learn from.
Feeling extremely desperate, she grabbed the Tome and went back to the desk with her stuff as well as some light spheres she created. Slamming the thick book down, she undid the straps keeping it closed and opened it wide. "Cough~ cough~!" she coughed because of all the dust that was kicked up. Once cleaning off the dusty pages, she began reading the first page only to look at it with confusion.
"What is this?" Weslyn questioned as she looked at the page wondering what it was. On the page was a large Octagonal diagram with a smaller octagon in the center with the sketch of the same eye on the cover, only closed instead of open. Surrounding the Eye sketch were 8 4-by-4 rows each with a different symbol or rune. "Looks like some sort of puzzle?" she asked herself before taking out a piece of paper and pencil and started drawing the same diagram on it.
"Hmm~… {To open the Demon's Eye~ Figure out this riddle if you try~ But beware for when your chances strike three~ For all those who failed are never seen~} Riddle? Creepy Message with the possible chance of death?... … … YES! ! !" Weslyn exclaimed excitedly since this would finally be her chance to put her fangirl knowledge to the test. "Okay, {Time is a pattern, never forward or back. The steps you take, decides this path. Many had tried in different order. Guess the right keys to unlock the portal.} So these symbols and runes are actually parts of a key to open some kind of portal? That that's what I call real mystery level stuff." She figured before getting to work.
First she tried doing it clocked wise by focusing her Magic on the tip of her finger and pressed the symbols and runes in the Tome within that pattern causing them to start glowing. "Wow~" Weslyn said in awe as her eyes sparkled seeing that the diagram was glowing. "WHO-OOOAAAA! ! !" only for her excitement to quickly die as a Magic energy blast shot out of the book nearly hitting her as the blast ricochet around the room before hitting a Bookcase turning it as well as the books on it into ash.
"Okay… That wasn't it." The black hair girl stated as she was on the floor while her eyes were widen from the shock was nearly getting hit as she now understood what the message meant. "That's one try down, meaning I now have two more chances. And I am not having was good feeling about what might happen on strike three." She said with a worried filled tone before calming herself down and started to think of another possible pattern.
Finally deciding on another pattern, she once again pressed the symbols and runes this time in a zigzag pattern, which once again caused the diagram to glow. Thinking that she cracked it, Weslyn couldn't help but smile only to once again duck for cover as this time a bolt of lightning shot out blasting a massive hole in the ceiling as a bath-tub fell through before crashing down through the floor again.
"Oh man, that was an even closer call!" Weslyn shouted since she now only have one strike left. "There are hundreds of different patterns, how am I supposed to guess the right one arrgg! ! !" she groaned banging her head against the floor while clenching her hands onto her head.
Taking a couple breathes the young girl tried thinking of something else. "I don't get it? How can Time be a pattern when it's always moving forward? Wish I paid more attention in History class." She sighed sitting up and hugging her knees to her chest before realizing what she just said. "Time, Pattern, History… … … That's it!" she exclaimed shooting herself up only to winch as she hit her head against the underside of the table.
Crawling up from her hiding place she looked back at the diagram before noticing that some of the symbols were a match to the Roman Numerals. "Time is a pattern, but not a straight one meaning that it's not always forward or backwards but both!" she exclaimed as it finally hit her. "Time is random meaning that the pattern is also random. And since there are 12 numbers in a Clock, then there must be 12 Roman Numerals as well. So if that's the key, then the pattern should be…" she began as she looked over the diagram looking for those 12 symbols.
Once locating where each of them where on her sketch, she then pressed the Numeral symbols in number order causing them to glow before stopping on the final one. "Here goes nothing…" Weslyn gulped nervously as she pressed the last piece of the pattern causing it to glow but nothing happened.
At least until the Tome started glowing, causing the entire room to shake like a small earthquake was happening, before levitating as well as started spinning. "Okay this is both cool looking but also nerve wrecking!" the young Magic user exclaimed with her tone mixed with both excitement as well as fear as the Tome began sparking while starting to spin faster and faster.
Completely unknown to her the eye in the center of the diagram snapped open shooting a large beam of magical energy upward through the ceiling that went straight towards the sky.
BAAA-BBOOOOOOOOOMMMM-BBAAAA-BOOOOOOOOOMMMM! ! !
Thunder started to boom as the rain clouds darken as the beam slowly caused them to circle around it creating a giant vortex over the building.
/ / / / /
"Okay, now I'm starting to feel scared!" Weslyn exclaimed as the beam shooting out of the book began rapidly picking up dust, paper, and cob-webs before quickly grabbing onto her bag since she nearly got sucked up herself. "I don't know why, but I feel like I read this somewhere before!?" she cried before screaming as she was soon lifted up in the Tome's tornado-like vacuum as she held unto her bag for dear life.
Spinning faster and faster, the Tome's pages sped flipped through so fast you could hardly make out what were on them before a portal suddenly appeared literally out from the pages sucking nearly everything in!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Weslyn screamed as she felt many things between fears of unknown dangers by this book to dizziness from being spun around so much. Too panicked to understand what was happening, she never noticed a stray book on the floor before knocking her in the back of the head causing her to black out as she was sucked into the portal with the Tome following closed behind as the portal closed.
Crrreeeeeeeaaaaakkkkk~….. CCCRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH! ! !
As soon as the portal closed, the entire building collapsed in on itself due to the stress of what happened as well as years of neglect but one thing for sure, where that portal took her, she was going to need a lot of luck.
/ / / / /
And I'm stopping here.
Sorry if this took so long but I had been busy but hey, it's finally done at least.
Now before I leave let me explain a couple of things.
Weslyn is MY OC/Original Character so yeah, her Appearance might be similar to Kai Green from Ben 10 but that was because this character was inspired from another Author's Story so no, there will be NO other Ben 10 reference/characters in this Story okay.
Second this will be my first try at a Story with an OC Based Character that isn't Naruto or Pokemon related since those are my main jams but also my chance to improve my skills for a Neglected/Ignored/Abandoned Character.
Third Weslyn's personality will be a mixed of Luz from the Owl House, Harley Quinn from DC Nation, and Charlie from Hazbin Hotel so she will act like a normal girl sometimes but will become aggressive and hostile, or childish and scared when either stressed or someone she cares about is in danger.
Fourth there will be Lemons but LATER since this Story is a PREQUEL to my other Story Troop Secrets but is more like a back story for Weslyn showing not only her struggles as a Witch, but also her struggles as a person as well.
And finally this Story will be based around mostly the Owl House and The Troop but with also contain elements from other Series like Adventure Time, Monster Girl Encyclopedia, etc.
Now that this is finally up, I'll be focusing on some of my other Stories as well a couple of One-shots so Happy Monstober everyone!
See you all next time!
Also anyone who can guess the Song that was use in this Chapter get to decide the name of the Town Weslyn will be living at since I've mentioned it it the Troop Secrets story.
