FORBIDDEN - The Witch At The Caramel Station

 FORBIDDEN -  The Witch At The Caramel Station

By Onyxe Blade

A little over a half hour ago, a deadly explosion had taken place Septarian Town. Septarian Town was a historical city that was located within the state of Silia City, one of the seventy five states that made up Mayland. The attack was sudden and it had claimed the lives of over thirty people within the vicinity. News had spread swiftly throughout most of Mayland of the incident, spreading like wildfire. Upon learning about the chaos that had taken place in Septarian Town, King Onyx moved to action as he began assembling heroes to head over to Silia City and find out the cause behind the deadly explosion. Normally, he would be able to rely on Hellin Strongs, his closest ally and friend right behind James Del Soto. However Hellin—along with Orsela—were tasked with a prior assignment within their home realm of The Underworld. His other allies Trevyn Aliyu, the Prince of Nigeria and Lea Stallard, the Princess of Plutonia were both busy dealing with affairs in their homelands. August Starfinder was fulfilling his duties as a Bounty Hunter along with his teammates Vritra and Setback in Cambodia after being hired by a group of sages in that country to help track down a group of criminals. Lastly Onyx assumed Scylla was busy in her homeland of Greece, probably enjoying a simple day with her parents or spending time with her nephews Calix and Atticus. Therefore he had settled on sending James alongside his daughter Anna and another one of his Royal Guards Railing Herrera to investigate the incident within Silia City at least until he received a text message from none other than Scylla.

After a brief back and forth texting, Onyx opens a portal in his castle and travels to Greece. Seconds later he reappears with Scylla by his side. Scylla who was hanging out in her bedroom when she saw the incident on social media decided to reach out to Onyx and offer her assistance. Now with James, Anna, Railing, and Scylla ready for action. Yura briefs the four of them with the situation having taken place in Silia City. Believing the actions were caused by a witch (a Sage that has gone bad or lost control of their magic) and the horrific explosion being the aftermath of those actions. With that in mind, they need to act swiftly in order to catch the culprit if they haven't escaped already but thankfully an anti-teleportation spell was placed immediately after the incident. Ready to begin their mission, Onyx opened a portal for them able to ignore the anti-teleportation spell due to his unique power, but once within Silia he won't be able to teleport them out until they exit the state

Upon their arrival, James states they should work together to find the culprit. Anna, on the other hand, suggests that splitting up would allow them to cover more ground. Scylla immediately opts to travel solo and Railing quickly requests Anna to tag along with him thus James by default is forced to go solo as well. James decides to search around Morrison, both Railing and Anna decide to search around Christie, the capital of Silia City and Scylla chosen to investigate around the ever popular Caramel Train Station. Dressed in her usual see-through white dress with blue starfish shaped pasties covering her nipples, wearing her cherished accessories around her neck, arms, and ankles, her long white sandals with her long blonde hair perfectly down her back, focused on the task at hand, Scylla can feel multiple eyes on her, feeling judged by her choice of clothing or lack there of. Fortunately she couldn't care less due to her not dressing for anyone's attention but to compliment her magical abilities controlling water and transforming her lower half into four deadly blue and purple serpents. Caramel Station has always been a place of historical significance as well as the main shopping center for the citizens of Silia City. Ranging from clothing stores, a variety of places to eat, jewelry, gaming, and other attractions. Yet none of these catches the water sage's interest as all she cares about is preventing yet another tragedy taking place within the state. Annoyed by the fact despite the incident that happened prior, that so many civilians are still out and about, giving little to no regards to their own safety. Unfortunately for Scylla, she understands the selfish nature of mankind all too well. People rarely let the tragedies of others affect their way of life unless it directly involves them. Making matters worse, it happened to be the day a lot of the stores around the Caramel Station are having a sale and the death of over thirty people isn't going to stop the rest of Silia City's residence from missing out.

Continuing her focus on the surrounding area, Scylla was close to believing that this area was clear. She was minutes from dialing Onyx on her cellphone when she spotted a slender Korean man wearing a long sleeved black t-shirt with dark blue ripped jeans and black sneakers. While Scylla was no telepath nor had the ability to sense auras, one thing for certain she knew when a person with an ominous presence was in her vicinity. The water sage's suspicions would be confirmed upon seeing a dark smile run across the man's face with him raising his right arm into the air forming dark purple energy around himself. The citizens spotted the devious man seconds after Scylla and immediately began to panic. Acting swiftly, Scylla creates a barrier of water around the witch as he performs his explosive attack. The impact causes the barrier of water to explode as the water covers the air and rains down all around as folks run away. The man stares at Scylla with a malice grin as he runs towards the train station, forcing Scylla to give chase without taking a moment to request back up. Arriving at the station soaked from the water that dropped down on her only moments ago after nullifying the witch's explosive attack, Scylla stands before the culprit prepared for combat.

Scylla: There is nowhere for you to run asshole! How dare you come to Mayland and cause chaos and kill innocent lives? What is your name, you spineless piece of shit!?

Gi-Tae: Such a fouled mouth Grecian woman. My name is Gi-Tae, not that it will matter to you once you're dead

Scylla: Tough words for an inevitable corpse! So tell me Gi-Tae, why come to Mayland and cause so much havoc? Are you some assassin attempting to draw Onyx out or just a random piece of shit that lost themselves to their own magic?

Gi-Tae: I'm here to create new memories after my lover left me heartbroken. I wouldn't even come to this shit hole of a country if I wasn't plagued by visions of him. I thought killing him back in our homeland of Korea would be enough but I still see his fucking face and Silia City was the place we were the first time we met each other. We were madly in love and enjoyed our weeks together before returning home. However that's when everything went to shit! It turns out he had a female lover and child back in our homeland. I begged him to leave his family and be with me but he told me I was just an escape but he never truly loved me. Hearing that really sent me over the edge and my desire for destruction was born from his betrayal! Now to rid myself of his memory completely... the citizens of Silia City have to also suffer cause I blame this damn place for ever running into the deceitful selfish motherfucker!

Scylla: Is that all? What an utterly pitiful story and derelict reasoning for such madness

Gi-Tae: How dare you! My pain is valid and I won't let some bitch who never experience what I have invalidate my rage!

Scylla: I would never allow myself to lower my existence over a mere man. That's why I never allow such a pointless thing as romantic love into my life and it's fools like you who validate my decision on the matter each passing day. Your selfish sob story will not save you from my wrath cause you're going to pay for the mayhem your caused prior and the one you attempted within the vicinity of The Caramel Station

Gi-Tae: HA! You are so fucking full of yourself! I'm going to enjoy making you suffer before smiting you from existence

Gi-Tae takes the stance of a runner as a violent, fiery colored purple aura surrounds his body. The witch rushed towards Scylla like a bullet as she attempted to create a wall of water to defend herself. Gi-Tae's speed proves too much for Scylla's water wall to defend against, as he breaks through and strikes Scylla with a powerful tackle sending her tumbling hard to the ground. Despite the blood running her forehead after receiving the vicious attack from the witch along with several cuts on her vanilla colored skin. Scylla hides her pain and stares menacingly at her opponent while using her water magic to heal her injuries.

Gi-Tae: You're a talented woman. Definitely not your average sage, but nevertheless you will suffer all the same... VIOLET BULLETS OF DAMNATION!

Gi-Tae unleashes several purple energy blasts in the shape of bullets towards Scylla. Enveloping her body in freezing cold water as she charges towards Gi-Tae and using her dexterity and fast movement, Scylla dodges Gi-Tae's attack before using the water that surrounded her body and throwing it at him. Emerged in intensely cold water along with losing the ability to breathe, Gi-Tae tries to use his magic to save himself. Unable to endure nor breathe the intensely cold water, the witch feels himself fading to black. Unaware of the wrath that awaits him for angering Scylla, death will not come in the form the brokenhearted witch had expected. The water around Gi-Tae disperses as he drops to his hands and knees, soaking wet. While gasping for air and trying to deal with the chilling effects of the water, Gi-Tae looks up and immediately he is greeted by the sight of Scylla. Instead of her standing before him with a normal pair of legs, the water sage's legs have turned into four cerulean and orchid colored vicious serpents that elevated Scylla's high making her more threatening than one ever imagined

Gi-Tae: Wha--- WHAT ARE YOU?! It's impossible.. you can't be human?

Scylla: Let me let you in on a little secret foolish witch! While I was at home with my folks back in Greece, I heard the news of the chaos the erupted in Mayland and immediately reached out to my friend, the current ruler of this country and offered my assistance. When he sent me and three other of his allies out to investigate the incident in Silia City to catch the culprit—which turned out to be you—I purposely chose to travel alone in hopes I'll be the one to find you. Cause now I get to unleash my darker side without any inhibitions. I'm going to make you regret the day your mother and father conceived your odious existence. Now my serpents it's TIME TO FEED!

Gi-Tae let out a spine chilling scream. Since he and Scylla were alone in the station, not a soul could hear his cry as Scylla's serpents began feasting on him. Minutes later, James along with Anna and Railing arrive to the Caramel Station after becoming aware of the commotion that had taken place here knowing that Scylla had ended up encountering their target. James being a full blooded demon and Anna a half demon/cambion, the two of them caught the scent of fresh blood as they made their way towards the station. They knew it wasn't Scylla but feared it was the culprit since Onyx had given James a secret order to bring the culprit alive if possible. Only James and Anna were aware of such a request with Railing being indifferent upon learning about this fact. James did not think to tell Scylla the same since he was confident he or Anna and Railing would have ended up finding their target with Scylla coming to aid them. Standing in front of them in the station was Scylla but her legs already back to normal and in her hand, the right arm of the now deceased Gi-Tae.

Scylla: I kept this worm's arm in case you guys needed proof he was the culprit. Anyways I ended up transforming my lower half into my serpents and together we finished Gi-Tae off

Railing: Well shit Scylla was it necessary to eat the dude? Why not just drown him? We at least would of had a whole body regardless it was dead to bring the the coroner

Scylla: Save your complaints for someone who cares, Mr. Herrera

Anna: It's fine, Scylla. At least you're safe and that's all that matters. Keeping the culprit's arm will be enough for us to work with along with your reports and the witnesses who you ended up saving earlier from yet another tragedy.

James: Anna's right. We’ve got more than enough to work with here. Now we need to send a report to Silia City's mayor to tell them they can deactivate the anti-teleportation spell so we can get back to Onyx and Yura ASAP. Anyways, thank you for your assist, Scylla. Apologies we weren't around to back you up but everything worked out in the end.

Scylla: Back up was unnecessary. I just wished the imbeciles around here took the earlier incident seriously instead of going about their usual activities, but I guess that's too much to ask from the common man. Anyways, let's hurry back to Onyx so he can teleport me back to Greece. I look forward to enjoying my mother's Tuna Casserole and getting a well deserved rest.

A few days later in Thailand, Scylla was relaxing at the famous Ramayana Water Park and was accompanied by her apprentice, Pranai and his husband, Luis. The trip was paid for by Onyx who rewarded Scylla for her role in dealing with the witch who caused havoc in Silia City days prior. While relaxing listening to music on her cellphone mainly to block out the noisy citizens around her, Scylla coldly reflects on her actions at The Caramel Station and awaits for her next opportunity to perform the same sadistic act.
