Chapter 535 - 536 – Witches politics.
[4 days later.]
[Current location – Private meeting room.]
"So, what did you decided?" – asked ClownFrog as he sat down on the sofa, right next to Lil, while the three witches sat on the opposite side of the table, sitting on the other couch right behind it.
"…"
"Well… Here is the deal." – said witch Olga.
"We will reveal our organization to you, but in exchange for informations."
"First, it would be information about this girl here." – said Olga while pointing at Lil.
"Second, we want information regarding the terrorist organization that had attacked Oin empire and Garog kingdom during their war."
"Everything you know about them and I mean everything."
"Including the elf you had encountered."
"All of this informations you have at hand."
"…"
"…"
"Well… We don't know a lot about the organization in the first place…. But we do know some stuff… And for example, one of their possible goals." – said ClownFrog.
"Will that suffice at least?"
"Yes. But also, the elf and the that girl here." – said Olga.
"…Deal." – replied ClownFrog.
"But your side first."
"…"
"Okay." – replied the witch Olga.
"Then here I go."
Long, long…. Well, very long time ago, special beings were born among all kind of different races.
They were called witches.
However, unlike the witches of the current era, where there is a lot of people with potential of becoming an witch or had already became an witch but does not possess their own imaginary made element.
But in the past? It was completely different.
Most of the witches that were born ages ago all had their own imaginary element.
An age of witches if you may call it…. But this also had huge side effect.
Fear and greed.
Many people feared witches for their ability to control imaginary elements.
While some others tried to make their abilities their own.
And so, the "Witch Hunt" has started.
Witches were killed, imprisoned, tortured, experimented on or forced to work for some kingdoms…. However, obviously many witches decided to fight back…. But this caused the people fear and greed to only go stronger and spread further.
The witches back there were all alone.
Some tried to form groups to survive or share their power with each other, but it didn't worked.
There was also those witches that hated people for hunting their kind or just were drunk on power.
And in the end…. Many witches had died.
Over 50% of witch kind has been wiped out.
And at this rate, soon maybe all of the witch kind would be wiped out…. Unless it wasn't for her.
The witch Medea.
She saved, united and defeated witches, making them join up and unite in order to survive.
Her actions.
Her power.
Her leadership.
It saved the witch kind, right as only around 25% of the witches were left.
And so, Sabath was born.
Sabath originally purpose was to save the witches and shelter them from the danger, while also dealing with the "witch hunt" that had in goal either slaying the witches or enslaving them.
After the years of work, she and her "Loyal Hand" has destroyed the "Witch Hunt", securing the witches safety form it.
And so… The years went by.
The Sabath, an organization that was only meant to save the witches has turned into organization of power.
They were teaching, exploring, experiment and trying to understand the imaginary magic that apparently didn't had limit.
Not only that, but many witches saw an need of creating their "disciplines", somebody who would carry their magic and legacy in their name.
Many witches also used the organization as an source of connection or income.
Some witches also started appearing public, sometimes becoming an soldiers of their own free will or maybe people in power.
There are obviously some witches that are still somewhat drunk on the power and think they are "GODS" or something like that…. And those bad apples needs to be dealt with.
But mostly the Sabath current purpose is to grow witches and research their own magic as well as other form of magic craft that isn't just imaginary magic.
-An research institution.
-An school.
-An source of income – Offering jobs.
-Some lesser stuff.
Simple put, its more peaceful organization that it was once before.
You could call it also an society of witches where there are some high ranking witches that are like nobles or even royalites like status in organization, meaning that many wish to grow their power, recognition and status.
An "kingdom of witches", you could even call it.
[Loyal Hand]
Originally 10 different witches that served the Medea, queen witch and founder of the Sabath, had now been turned into the "10 fingers", with each finger representing different dominating groups within the Sabath, an different departments that each focuses on different things. The heads of each debarment are called "Nail".
This is the overall base structure of the Sabath.
….
And here is the part that I need you to focus on.
An part why we decided to tell you about the Sabath.
50 years ago, there was an accident.
One of the Nails direct disciples had gone rouge.
The witch in question murdered the Nail of her Finger department, stole everything she once owned and even broke into the vault of Sabath, the vault that even Nail would have hard time opening it with force.
She broke into it and stole something that shouldn't be stolen.
The grimoire of the first witch Queen. "Medea Grimoire".
She then disappeared into the thin air, leaving no traces behind.
…
She was an member of an rare race; she was an moon elf and also an wielder of the imaginary magic type thorn.
Majo M'uq.
"And that very same elf you gave us an wanted poster of…. She is the exactly same person. She one of most wanted person in our entire organization that had enraged every single witch in existence with her madness."
"…"
"You sure about this?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Yes… She looks exactly the same as the recordings we have of her." – said the elderly witch as she took out an pocket mirror and then opened it, with then projected an life sized copy of the moon elf.
"…"
"Wait an moment." – said ClownFrog.
[Few moments later.]
"Sup. You called me. What is going on?" – asked Oron as he entered the room.
"Let me introduce him." – said ClownFrog.
"This is Oron."
"Oron. Come here for moment and tell me, do you recognize the person here?"
"?"
Oron approached the table, before then the elderly woman opened up back her mirror, showing the hologram of the moon elf, shocking Oron.
"Wait! That is her! That is that bitch that was in the castle!" – said Oron.
"!"
"Wait, in the castle!? You saw her personally?!" – asked the elderly witch.
"Yea. I was one who fought her and reported her existence in the first place." – said Oron.
"Still… Her eyes pupils aren't square shaped nor she has those weird tattoos."
"…. Because this is her as she was still an regular moon elf." – said the elderly witch.
".."
"Oron, could you sit down next to us? You may be needed." – said ClownFrog.
"…Okay." – said Oron as he sat right next to Lil.
"…"
"Okay… So now we know that the both the witch from the organization and the wanted poster. We even have an guy fought her and saw her close up confirming it all." – said ClownFrog.
"Yes." – replied elderly witch.
"And now it's your turn."
"What do you know about that witch?"
"…"
"Well- "
Oron began explaining the whole encounter to the witches, alongside Lil who explained some of her own abilities as well, since the witch in question wielded the same powers as her.
"…"
*Sigh*
"Well…. Now things got way more complicated." – said elderly witch while holding her head.
"?"
"What do you mean?" – asked ClownFrog.
"The power to wield imaginary element is both an power and an curse." – said the elderly witch.
"And by curse I mean not like an liter curse, but an side effect of having an imaginary magic type."
"Simple put, you cannot have 2 different imaginary magics."
"You can evolve imaginary magic types, giving it new powers, forms and purposes, but you cannot never transform them into something completely different."
"Like, you cannot use water imaginary magic and turn it into fire imaginary magic."
"There are some imaginary elements that for example are mix of two, like an mud imaginary magic that is an just dirt and water combined, or poison fire imaginary elements…. But those imaginary elements are not the elements that had been combined."
"Like, you cannot split the imaginary element of poison fire into the imaginary fire and imaginary poison, you only have imaginary fire poison and that it."
"…. What does it has to do with anything?" – asked Lil.
"Well…. Here is the funny thing." – said Olga.
"Majo M'uq imaginary magic was thrones magic. She was able to create and control plants with thorns."
"The "Metal Thorn" magic you told me about; she never had this! And she shouldn't have it!"
"We even looked through our records and there was never and I mean "EVER" recorked any imaginary magic by the name of Metal Thorn magic."
"There was straight up nothing!"
"And she is also an high moon elf? This shouldn't be…. None of this makes any sense."
"…"
"Still…. You have an evidence and saw her in action...."
"So please…."
"As per our deal."
"Tell us everything you know right now about the organization she is part of."
