Hello, Faithful Readers!
The Spiral Order has requested that I document all stories into their Archives. I will write the story of a faithful servant of mine, Diyu. I watched him through the waters the instant I sensed his presence in the world. He was seen as a great ally or enemy. This...my friends...is the story of the Witch's Boy.

Name: Diyu

Gender: Male

Race: Isoran

Personality: Dark, dismal, yet punk and charming

Appearance: Chaos Set(Chaos Hood w/ Fractured Mask of Seerus that covers his right eye), Gran Faust, and Dread Skelly Shield

Bio: Never knowing his birth mother, Diyu was abandoned and raised by Strangers until he was five, and they abandoned him as well. He went to a tree to hide, a big tree in the rainiest part of the Forest, which covered his tracks well and mist would hide him in the tree if people ever came looking. He sometimes makes escapes with the help of any girl that sees him, but he will leave them with a haunting peck on the cheek and vanish from them.

Chapter 1

A Trivial Escape

I put up my hood and walk down the road, keeping my hands in my Cloak pockets. My Gran Faust is slung on my back in it's sheath, ready to use. I walk toward the bank and enter in, putting down my hood and shaking my black, slightly rainbow-glinting hair. I walk up to the accountant. "Hello, sir, how can I help you today?" he looks up at me.

His eyes widen as he finds a Gran Faust in his face. "Show me to the Vaults sir." I say. Dark crimson tentacles come out of the sword's blade, one going to each group of people and accountants. "C-certainly....S-s-sir." He stutters, and get up from his chair and starts walking quickly down the hall as I am right behind him. A couple flights of stairs later we are in the basement. Vaults line up the walls and the man says, "I-I don't h-have a key-y sir..." He says slowly. I nod and tell him thanks, and I let him run off for help. I take off my mask to expose my white pentacle eye, with a black background. It's black turns white as it's white turns red, and I am instantaneously at a Vault.

I press my hand against the metal. Suddenly, the door busrsts off it's hinges, falling to the ground. I climb inside and find bags and bags of money. I take only 20kcr and turn to find seven Valiances all on me. I appear in front of the Enforcers with their Valiances on my chest. Before one can pull the trigger, I am gone.

I am up the stairs and walking up to a nice young lady. I put my mask on and tap her on the shoulder. She recognizes me from the WANTED posters, and pulls me into a storage closet. "What are you doing here?! You are going to get caught! There are thirty Enforcers outside!" I put my finger on her lips and look into her eyes. My regular eye looks like a silver, with a slight rainbow glinting in it. "If you help me get out, maybe I can give yoh something you can remember?" I tilt my head deviously as her face blushes. "Oh! Umm....theres a maintenance tunnel! the opening is outside! It leads into the Forest!"

"Thank you for your help." I say, and press my lips against her cheek. I can literally feel the heat of her face as I move away, grinning. And I am gone again.

I run down the tunnel, their target lights dancing on my back. They shoot, but I twist easily and catch the bullet, twisting my waist and throwing it back at the gently, which obviously means they fall to the ground knocked out. I jump out through the hole and take out my Gran Faust, swinging it while I run. A tree falls onto the maintenance tunnel exit, and finally walk. By the time they get out, I'm long gone.

I stab my Gran Faust into my Hometree, using it as an acrobatic bar. I swing on it and fly up, grabbing a branch and swinging into the center of the tree's branch-trunks. I hold my hand over the side and the Gran Faust floats out and into my hands. I take the wooden lid off of where I stand and hop into the little hollow, covering the hole back up.

I light up my small home with a snap and the candkes light up. I curl up onto the pile of Snipe feahters. All in a day's work.

Yet this is the day before your journey begins.

Foist happ

Naymz: Felicity

Jenartz: fe(iron)-male

Racist as a: Knight (isoran)

Purse-en-a-light-yeast: A very cat-like girl, always holding up a high amount of digity, confidence, and curiosity. Around the men who attempt to woo her, she toys around with them like food.

Loadout: Black Kat Cowl, Mad Bomber Suit (dusky bomb bandolier, Shadow Cat tail), Big Angry Bomb, Twin Acherons

Appearance: personal color Lake, Spiral Tailed Helm, Spiral flak jacket. All fancy.

Appearance out of armor: crimson colored hair, lake colored eyes, normal complexion, short in height.

Bio: Born among the first few native Knights on Cradle, Felicity was one of the few that were celebrated for their own existence. She was popular among many of the retired and civilians on Cradle, her insatiable curiosity being one of her strongest traits. It reached up to the point where she managed to crawl all the way down to Moorcroft Manor. The staff there allowed her to stay, although it kept them busy, until her parents dissappeared for a reason unknown. Since then, she grew up in the Manor, studying the arts of runes and incantations, as an extracuricular to her usual schooling. At the age of 9, she summoned Margrel, as a gift to the Konjuring Kat, but was cursed to become Margrel's vessel in the process. As a bonus to this, she was given a free Black Kat Cowl to keep her safe from the dark. Although, one could say she became a part of the dark. The Grimalkins who had bullied her during her strolls now shied away, and all the other Kats seemed to hide something from her. Frustrated, she stormed off to Haven to search for answers. Since then, she has worked as a courier for the Order's offices, putting her expert agility to use.

Chapter 2

Trial

How did I get here? I'll never know. I was sleeping, and then I woke up here. I am tied to a large wooden pole in the middle of Haven. It's night time and there are hundreds of torches being held by angry Knights. They bound my wrists tightly, and I can't even teleport two inches in any direction. Three Guardians walk up to me with great piles of hay in there arms. They spit in my face as each one drops their share onto the stack. An Executor walks out of the crowd. He wears a long cloak decorated with crosses on the arms, chest, and on the top of his hood.

He holds a torch. He grins, and drops it near my feet. I start struggling as the fire rises. "No! Please, no! I only did what I had to to survive! Please, someone help!" They laugh and cheer and hurray as I come closer to death. I hear a large fluttering behind me, and everyone goes silent.

"None of you will hurt my son. NONE of you." It's a female voice. And it sounds like a twenty-something year old. I feel the straps go loose, and I start running. I look behind me one last time, and see a shadowy woman raising her hands, as Haven bursts to flames....
----------------------------------------------------
I pull out my Gran Faust and walk through the woods. Light is given off by the surrounding flitting bugs. I see a grand beautiful lake, and a bridge over it. I run over to the quickest tree and climb it. Many lakes are here. I jump down, and I'm ready to swim when I stop. I see a frog, harmlessly jumping along the trail. A light appears from the lake's depths, and raises to the surface, gracing everything with a broght green radiance. I watch as the frog lands in the water. It is instantly dissolved to nothingness.

I step away from the water. I see an empty Pod near the water, and know that the Knight within must have tried taking a bath. I walk over and pick it up as best as I can, and jump/throw it into a nearby tree. I climb up the tree and enter the Pod, curling into a ball as the tree lights up and starts poking itself against the steel walls of the sphere. I hurry and close the hatch before a branch finds ots way in. I enter a sleep....

Chapter 3 (heh heh)

Conspiracy

I wake up in the jungle. I look out the pod's window and see a whole gathering of Knights. I jump out of the tree, and bind them to the ground with a quick blink of my eye. I walk over and look down at them.

Oh my Vog...

Their eyes....they're white. Bits of skin and meat are missing from their bodies. Their mouths, ripped off. Their teeth gnash hatefully towards me. I back up, and run into one behidn me. Before it's teeth find my neck I send it flying backwards, it's body in flames. This is unnatural....it's sickening. I turn and see a whole horde running towards me. I hurry and use my powers to tear the bridge to pieces and run. I touch any Zombie I pass and send them into flames. And I see him, Feron, completely unscathed, laughing mockingly at me from a tree. I glare at him before continuing my trek through the Forest.

I get into Haven, and it's completely deserted. All that remains is the fountain, and everything else is ground level. But the fountain is dry, and there is a hole in the middle. I walk over to it, jump into the dry fountain, and take a look at the hole. Winding stairs lead down into it's dark depths. I jump down and start walking.

Ugh. It smells down here. Like death hasn't taken a shower in weeks. I walk through a mysterious doorway to find-

Six computer monitors, all in a semicirclular fashion, the keyboard buttons matching in fashion. Desna sits there. On the monitors I see...witches. Like me. They all wear their masks, but theirs' are black. And a blue device is attached into their open backs, like an artificial spine. They look like abominations. One is partially Snarbolax, having Isoran skin but the design of a Snarbolax face, with random thorns protruding from it's skin. It looks like a woman, with the long hair. Another is a man, with his neck radiating tentacles. He has a monocle for his normal left eye, but the left has the mandatory black mask for people knowing you're a witch. The next was another girl, with short hair. Her arms were huge dangly black monster arms. She had strange orbs flying around her. The other threes' screens went blank, and I noticed Desna's chair was empty. I was suddenly restricted from behind. "Well well well," Desna's voie echoed from the concrete walls. "We'll just have to add you to our collection."

Chapter 4

Refusal

I respond calmly, and with precision. "You're wrong Desna. You always were..." I spin the knife in my hand and stab her stomach behind me. I hear her cough and hack as she falls to the ground. "You won't ever catch me." I take off my mask and my eye activates.

WITCH MODE: ACTIVATED

I send a powerful shock wave towards the monitors. They all shatter and fall to the ground. I hear the zombies outside moan loudly, and run up the stairs. "Oh Vog," I whisper. Crowds of zombies walk through Haven, barely entering. They start running towards me. "No no no NO!" I yell, and start running.

I hear their grunts and pants as they run, but I know they won't tire. The Order is using witches to power their horrible creations. I turn the corner and create a wall of flames behind me. They keep following me, their bodies' aflame. I jump and send a Stun to the ground, the force of sending it propelling me onto the roof to the right. I take deep breathes as their nails scratch the concrete walls of the building. I have to find out where those witches are. They are my only hope of being saved. I send icicles down to the zombies below, piercing through their eyes and hitting their brains. They fall uslessly to the ground.

I need friends. Allies. But what if I'm just the last one? I need to find some kind of companion that won't try to eat my flesh....

I run across the rooftop and start jumping, roof to roof, until I get to a well-fortified Guild Hall....

Chapter 5

Sister

I jump and skid into the Guild Hall's doors, their red wood and gold adornments shake. I rip open the doors and close them behind me. Blue electricity runs across the ceiling, and light blue lightbulbs suddenly light up. I walk down the hall, careful for any suspicious movement or noise. I see a pedestal at the end of the hall, and am suddenly in front of it, wiping off it's dust. How to get Rid of a Witch the cover read. I turned open the book, and a half minute later I slam it and push it to the ground. Those....sickening images....

"Hello?" comes a weak, child-like voice. "Papa? I'm...I'm scared!" A litte girl, only four feet tall, walks in, wearing a white dress decorated with black symbols. She stares at me in horror. "Who are you?! PAPA?! PAPA?! THERE'S A STRANGE MAN HERE!" She starts to cry, and wobbily falls onto her knees. I am again quickly in front of her, croushing down. She makes a short, tiny scream and inches backward, but it's easy to see the has been without food for a long time, so she lays onto her back, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm...not here to hurt you," I say to her, "Here, you look like nothing more than a Slag!" I takes a half-loaf of bread from my pocket. She greedily snatches it and eats it quickly. I scoot next to her. "What happened here? And what's your name?"

Chapter 6

Tian

“My name? I‘m Tian. Papa said I have a brother…but I have never met him. He said that my brother couldn‘t take care of me, so he gave me to Papa.” My eyes fill with tears, and I drop onto my knees and hug her. She is surprised, but she knows why I hug her so. “I‘m so sorry Tian. I was never able to take care of you because…well, our mom didn‘t want us. We‘re witches.” She looks at me and her eyes are as misty as mine. “It‘s okay.” is all she can say.

Something shakes the building. I turn and look out a nearby window on the fortified walls, about seven feet from the ground. A dark shape flies across the window and I hug my sister tighter as another blast shakes the building. The figure attaches itself to the wall around one of the windows, and I see the twisted Snarbolax Isoran face grin. It flies backwards, and spins, dark shadows flying off of it’s skin and hitting the building, shaking the foundation and placing cracks across the wall.

I pick up Tian and place her on my shoulders, and run to the opposite side of the building as the wall explodes. Dust flies everywhere, covering us for a short time. I duck us behind a stack of crates, just as the creature-woman walks through the hole in the wall. “I can smell you. I will find you.” her-it’s voice cackles.
