The Witch Within The Forest Of Illusions Arc
Final Part
The Final Time
Loc woke up from a nightmare that she quickly forgot but the only
thing that she remembered was words that she knew did not make any
sense.
“'The multiverse is counting on you'? What's a multiverse?” she
muttered as she slipped out of her bed knowing that this would be the
last time that she would be here. Somehow her gut told her that she
would not return but told herself that she would. She had made a
promise and she had every intention to keep it.
She changed into a yellow vest and crimson coat and black pants. Then
she opened the door to be met by Max.
“You alright?” he asked concerned. She nodded.
“Just a nightmare that's all.” she brushed off as she walked on.
They walked into the cafe' and the class sat together.
“So, have any of you thought of a way to take down this forest?”
she asked.
“Well we all tried to burn it down but it was odd...It was as if
nether of us had the heart to.”
Loc nodded empathetically.
“It seems like they were telling us the truth...” Max tailed.
“But it still shouldn't mean that we should give in and let anyone
of us give up. We can find a way to take this forest down, and we
have to take this forest down.” Loc half shouted.
“Well, then we must find a way to break the spells over us first.”
“Then, whatever we do after this we must find a way to dedicate
ourselves to this.” Endow finished.
With that they finished their food and Loc and Max helped Max pack
his many clothes and books. They then walked to her room and packed.
They then knew that they would have to think about things to keep
themselves awake, mainly by drinking teas and coffees with high
caffeine.
Then the time came when it was time to go back into the forest. They
were there in from of their path before they knew it.
Loc walked for a while but the darkness and her tiredness made her
vision go blurry. Her mind was dull and her eyelids fell several
times. Her legs barely lifted from the purple stones below.
She saw two children by the side of the path as blurred blobs. She
blinked several times and soon saw that they were Sharimon and Gracey
before the War of the Witch. Their eyes were just as innocent as
hers. There was no malice back then. No hint of evil. Even their
smile was pure and innocent.
“Hi sis!” said one as he opened their arms to her.
“H-Hello.”
“Why don't you join us?”
“I will not. I'm not like you.”
“Why?”
“I'm going to take down as much evil as possible.”
“Does this mean that you will be taking down as much as our work as
possible?”
“You mean Grasharlo, and yes.”
“And what about the forest?”
“Yes, I'm going to burn this place down.”
“Well, why don't you see if we have any connection with this
forest?”
“I might as well.”
That was when she realised that she was walking towards them and her
foot was off her path. Then she retreated her foot. Her eyes looked
up at them as small spider legs sprouted out from their backs. Their
bodies grew and jumped at her. She closed her eyes knowing that they
were illusions and when she opened them they were gone.
She walked along the path and saw her parents on the path in front of
her. Their hands joined blocking her way. She walked up to them with
both grief and guilt. She felt like she had now truly accepted that
they were dead and they were not going to be coming back. Part of her
still wanted them back, but she knew now, better than to entertain
that part. It was time for her to let go of them.
“I'm sorry I failed you.” she said as she walked right through
them.
She walked on and her tiredness got the better of her and she tripped
over her own feet and then hit her forehead the purple stones. The
shock of the pain of the fall rippled through her entire body and her
mind woke up. She slowly climbed to her feet and walked on.
Sooner I get out of here sooner I can get some sleep.
She told herself. She focused on the road and soon left the Forest Of
Illusion.
The first thing that she did was close her eyes now immune to all
illusions.

When she woke, she packed her final things. Her class looked at
each-other and nodded.
“So, what's next for you?” he asked.
“I'm going to the academe to find out more about Grasharlo.” she
said. “Maybe she might have found something.”
“Maybe...”

Meanwhile in the T.O.O.T.R.O.E the eldest one, Eden Elric walked up
to the leader, Tarmo Bran,
“Ringer. She has survived.” she said, her hair was long and white
as her skin and eyes.
“Good.” he replied his hair was short with his fringe in his
green eyes.
“As I can tell, the forest tried to get her most of all.” she
explained as he passed him the file. His fingers were scarred with
burns after all his time using his battle rings.
