She slowly sat up in her bed, an exhausted, mildly irritated sigh escaping her moist, yet mildly chapped lips. Her room was small, only being able to fit a one-person bed, a nightstand, a drawer, and a standing fan at the foot of the bed. She looked at the window next to her bed, and opened the old timey rose patterned curtains, and opened the metal blinds that screeched as they rubbed against the also metal frame. She took in a breath of fresh air and slipped into her sandals while putting on a white dress with a sunflower pattern at the bottom of it. She then opened a drawer on her nightstand, revealing a pill jar and took one by itself with no water to wash it down. She was heading to the doctors today, so she had to take her prescribed meds with her. She walked out into the living room, which had 2 red sofas and a red single person couch that all faced towards an old timey TV. To her left was a gated door, and a curtain that led to her kitchen. She opened the gate, then the door and walked out of the house, taking in some more of that fresh air, just that now it was dusty, salty, and a little bloodied. She walked down the dirt road, only seeing a taxi trike every so often, sometimes even a horse carriage if she got lucky.
Everyone was giving her dirty looks. Sure, she was attractive, no one would deny her that; but they all disliked her anyways. She always attempted to be nice and respectful, but they just awkwardly rubbed her off, no matter how friendly or appealing her smile was towards them. After all her appearance awfully matched the description of an ancient witch that caused a lot of chaos and destruction worldwide. She had half black, half silver hair, and hue violet eyes. Not only that, but the void colored 4 tipped star shape that she was born with near the center of her clavicle was a mark of that witch. So, they all judged her for it, never giving her a second chance. But that didn't stop her from being as kind to them as she could. Eventually she reached the doctor's office, and to get her out for customer service as fast as possible she was instantly attended. She gave the doctor a warm smile, "Good morning, sir. I hope you've been having a good day so far." The doctor just nodded and gave her another description of pills, "Here, have these, and also, have this," the doctor gave her a small purple shard of something, "This looks like a purple shard of glass, but it's actually a pill that should help with your condition. Now get out of my office and hurry it up." She nodded and took her medicine from the doctor, before waving a friendly bye and heading out.

She found herself throwing up into the ocean from a peer. Whatever that purple thing was made her sick to her stomach, not just that but judging that nothing purple came out, it was still in her system. She looked out into the ocean. Not really knowing why because she has to get to school in an hour or so, but it helped her deal with her nausea. Then she saw a fin. It was extremely rare to see any form of life in the ocean, but there she was, seeing a fin, specifically a shark fin. She stared for a while before realizing it was rapidly approaching her. Then suddenly the fin jumped out of the water revealing a human. Her eyes widened recognizing the figure, after all that ocean blue hair was the only defining feature of her classmate Kala, but why did Kala have a shark tail? That's all she had to eat! Kala lands and stumbles onto her knocking her over, but Kala quickly grabs her hand and starts running. Hirune questioned following her but, Kala's breath was shaky, and she sounded exhausted, so she was probably running from something dangerous.
Eventually they reach an empty alley, and they stop. "Introductions-" "no need, you're Hirune Amatsari the witch and I'm Kala Mordia." She stared at her for a moment. "So... Why were we running? And from what?" Kala took a moment to respond catching her breath. "So, I was getting chased down by a lava lady because I tried to take the volcano artifact to avoid anyone else getting it." Hirune stared at her for a while. She was expecting her to elaborate but she didn't seem to catch the hint that she has no clue what a single word she just said means. "I didn't catch a single thing you said could you come again?"
Kala stared at her for a second. Then she whistled. The whistle was weird, it kind of sounded like a raven call combined with a dying animal of any sort. Then suddenly a crow that has 8 eyes and very fluffy feathers glided down and landed on Kala's shoulder. "Check her for artifact consumption." The crow squawked and flew around Hirune a couple times. Then it started to squawk rapidly. "Well...That's something, he says you're half-witch." They stared at each other for a moment as the crow flew away. "So, you're just going to ignore the question? Also, WHA-" "la la la la la."
'Did she just "la la la la la" me?' Hirune thought before sighing. "Well, whatever you're doing I've got to go. Also, that crow thing? Yeah, it's weird and it didn't have anything to do with the situation" As she turned around to get on her merry way, she suddenly lost conscious. Hirune suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar place, that for some reason simultaneously, felt like home. It was a room with a destroyed dinner table that reminds her of medieval telenovelas, and chairs littered all over the room, a large pair of dark doors at the front of the room. The only source of lighting being a chandelier that has 8 golden flames around it and 1 red flame in the middle. Hirune stood up from the black marvel throne decorated with purple and red glass that she was sitting on. She then peeked her head behind it to see a woman with fully silver hair that has black highlights in it and purple eyes. She's wearing a black tiara with purple diamonds in it and is wearing a black short dress.
"Uh, hi? May I know where I am? Or who you are?" She asked nervously, still trying to sound polite.
She looked up at her, "I'm the witch of legends. Ruler of 1/4 of the surface of this world, Queen of Apathy and Famine, Empress of Shadows, Namulenza Amatsari." Then as she stared at this 'Namulenza' lady confused, then she suddenly gasped, "Oh my gods! Hiru! I haven't seen you since you were an itty-bitty baby!" She suddenly hugged her. Now Hirune understood slightly why this place might feel so familiar. If she truly knew this woman from her infancy, she's got to have been here at some point. "Well, long time no see, I guess?" she giggled, "Wait here! I'm going to go tell my chefs to make you something!" She left through some large, gated doors and ran off somewhere. Then Hirune's vision suddenly started to blur, and she was out like a light again.
Hirune woke up on a couch. She looked around and saw Kala holding a spear, and three strangers standing around her in what seemed to be a secret base. All she could think right now as, 'Who was that?' Almost as if she's completely ignoring her surroundings from the confusion of that weird dream.
