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.
