Dark Light

Vol. 3 Ch. 2

The witches get out of their cabin.

The third witch reprimands them, “Remember girls, don’t hold back this time. Take as many children as you can. I bet I’ll have more than Odenna here,” she says as she points to the fourth witch.

“Oh, Tia. Is that a dare?” Odenna provokes.

The sixth witch runs into the forest while they argue.

“Woah, Zagia already went ahead. WAIT FOR ME!” the first witch shouts.

The rest of the witches run toward the forest. Meanwhile…

Phize is scrolling through his wardrobe.

“What should I wear? Should I be formal? Should I just be normal?” he asks himself.

“This is the first time I’ve actually been nervous, picking clothes.”

“I need some help,” he figured.

“Mommy! Can I have some help?”

“Oh, Phize. You should take a bath first. Don’t worry, mommy and daddy have your back! Just go take a bath first!” she insisted.

“Thank you mom!”

He goes inside the bathroom.

“I’m so nervous and excited at the same time! I wonder how Pallitra would look?”

He daydreamed of her in a wedding dress, he gets embarrassed by this thought and splashes his face full of water.

“NO, IT’S TOO EARLY FOR THAT!” he surmised.

He goes out of the bath taking only a short amount of minutes and wears a cotton towel to cover his bottom.

“I’m done!”

“Phize!” she calls out to him.

“SON!” Vhint screamed in excitement.

He looks at them. Both of them are holding informal blue and violet medieval-type shirt with such big smiles on their faces.

“Woah!” he exclaimed in delight.

“Your father had this when he was quite young.”

“That’s right. It was the only thing I received from my late father, and I want to pass it on to you.”

Vhint hands out the shirt to his son.

Phize carefully grabs the shirt and greatly admires its colors.

“THIS LOOKS SO GORGEOUS!”

He approaches them gleefully.

“THANK YOU!”

He examines the shirt but then he noticed something missing.

“Oh, how about my pants?”

“Don’t worry, mommy’s got that covered!”

After he gets finished preparing, he goes outside to their rendezvous. He arrives at the school entrance, with the weak wind blowing through his clothes and stray leaves flying around on a bright sunny day as he eagerly waits for Pallitra.

“This is the place right?”

He explores the surroundings in search of his partner.

“Where’s Pallitra?” he wondered.

“PHIZE!!!” a young girly voice calls toward him.

He takes a glance behind him.

“Oh, so there you a-”

His words were paused in awe as he stared at her features. She wore a sleeveless white dress that extended to her knees made out of silk filled with a yellow sunflower pattern that surrounded the very bottom.

He was in utter shock that he stared at her dress for a few seconds before actually answering her arrival.

“H-Hello…”

She blushes and looks away to cover her face.

“She looks so cute! Not only does she look cute, but her dress is astounding!” he thought.

“Y-You look good in your dress,” he commented.

“Y-You too, your outfit looks stylish,” she said.

“Oh goodness. I didn’t expect him to look this good!” she conceived.

“U-Um, I know some places we could go to!”

She grabs Phize’s hand while lowering her head.

“W-Woah!”

He was forced to tag along. While following her, he took a glance at her face.

“She’s lowering her head,” he determined.

He smiles from seeing her bashfulness.

“She’s shy too, isn’t she?” he concluded.

Meanwhile, the witches hunt for their prey.

Tia, the third witch runs through the forest and teleports from tree to tree. Branches fall as she passes by. She spots a ray of light shining through the forest.

A young boy and girl are walking through the roads peacefully.

“Targets acquired.”

She teleports behind the two children.

The two children look at her in shock.

A magic circle forms inside her mouth as she prepares to chant a spell.

“Zaxelus Aphysal.”

The two children faint seconds after the spell was cast.

“We have two healthy children here,” she says while smirking.

“Greatest Storage Magic.”

A portal in a form of a big crack as tall as the witch herself appears with a purple background inside it. She carries the two children and tosses them inside through the big crack formed.

Back to Phize and Pallitra, who are both sitting at a table eating strawberry crepes.

“DELICIOUS!” Phize declared.

“See? I buy here whenever we get big tasks and assignments! This place sure is high-class!” she praised.

He peers over at her to see that she has a bit of vanilla cream near her mouth.

“Um…”

She stares back at him and looks over to where the cream lay. With an idea forming over her head, she lets out a mischievous smirk.

“You were thinking of something lewd, weren’t you?”

He blushes over to hear such an absurd thing.

“W-WHAT? I would never!”

“You were gonna try to be romantic and eat the cream near my mouth weren’t you?”

His face turns redder as he hears his plan get busted.

“H-How did you know?”

“I’ve seen tons of movies y’know?”

She licks the cream off her mouth.

“If we do that, then that would be near to an indirect kiss wouldn’t it?” she comprehended.

“G-Good point.”

She reaches her strawberry crepe to him.

“W-What are you doing? Isn’t this an indirect kiss as well?”

“I mean, there’s a difference. Besides, if you were planning to do something like that, might as well go all out, no?”

He looks away to hide his red face.

Pallitra blushes as she noticed the boldness of her suggestion.

“O-Or you can ch-ch-choose to not either e-ehehe-ehhe,” she nervously said trying to take back what she just suggested.

Going back to the witches…

Zagia is wandering the fields recklessly and stumbles upon an array of buildings.

She finds a bunch of little children with 4 boys, she releases an unnervingly large upon finding her prey.

“This will lead me to 10 children this time,” she presumed.

She pounces on the first boy leading the group. The two boys behind the first fell down to the ground due to shock while the last boy simply goes back a bit.

The first boy panics.

“WHAT’S HAPPENING?! HELP ME!”

She places her right arm near the chin and the left arm near the ear and presses it forward.

She snaps the neck of the first boy*

The corpse of the boy immediately falls to the ground while Zagia hops back and looks at the three remaining boys.

“What are you looking at?” she questioned them while giving out a smirk.

“Aren’t you going to run?”

“R-RUN!” the second boy broadcasted.

He stands up and runs opposite her.

The third boy shouts, “AHHHH!”

She chants, “Beseth Hildus.”

A magic circle forms from her right hand and she aims it near the second boy’s chest.

“SHOOT!”

A strong force of wind comes from it and as it passed through the boy, a hole forms out of his heart.

“I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if I deliver a heartless child… literally.”

She chuckles as she looks at the lifeless bloody body of the second boy. She then looks at the other running boy.

“Oh, he’s gone far,” she thought.

“Shoot!”

She aims for the other boy’s head and as the strong force of wind reaches the poor soul, he got instantly beheaded, with his head flying a few meters out of his decapitated body.

Finally, she looks at the last boy.

The boy screams for dear life, “AHH! AHHH! AHHHH!”

He sweats intensely and decides to make a run for it.

“H-HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY! PLEASE!”

He trips and tries to crawl to escape her grasp.

Zagia, on the other hand, laughed hysterically at the poor boy’s suffering, “Aha… AHA! AHAHAHHAHA! AHAHAHAHHAH!”

“YES! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!”

He crawls faster.

“Joint Dislocation.”

Crack. The sound of bones was heard from the boy’s direction.

The final boy’s joints from his feet to his arms have been dislocated after the spell has been cast.

“AHAHAHHAHAH!”

Phize and Pallitra here, were still walking the streets of an urban city.

“Hm, I wonder, what should I buy?” Pallitra wondered.

She sees a toy store and she manages to shape out a mage figurine standing near the windowpane.

He notices where she was looking.

“Would you like that figure?”

“U-UH NO! I’M A PERFECTLY GROWN YOUNG LADY! I’m not into toys like those.”

“Somewhere in that sentence you just said contradicted yourself… also, where did this immediate rush to grow into a lady come from. It’s too late.”

She felt awkward.

“I just didn’t want you to think of me as childish, because I always act childish.”

“Don’t worry, I know. That’s what I like about you.”

“W-WHA? W-WHERE IS THIS ALL COMING FROM?”

She punches his shoulder lightly.

“Teasing is m-my job.”

“Well, I have to counter those once in a while don’t I?”

“I guess so.”

The first witch is a few blocks away with blood filling her black and gray old attire.

“I got around 9 children. That should be enough for now.”

She gapes at where Pallitra is standing. Phize is in the toy shop so he isn’t seen from her point of view.

“White… hair… so beautiful.”

“Maybe 10 wouldn’t be a bad number,” she thought.

She chants, “Speed.”

A magic circle forms from her right hand and she runs headed to Pallitra’s direction at a very fast rate.

“Sleep.”

She casts the magic onto Pallitra and the young little girl falls unconscious.

Phize heads out of the toy store carrying the mage figurine.

He detected the witch moving towards Pallitra.

“PALLITRA?!”

“Another one?” she thought.

“Sleep.”

“Y-”

He falls to the ground unconscious.
