The trespasser began to take a few steps forward; they were slow and gradual as though pondering how he would approach the situation of fighting a child. Maybe he was having second thoughts when thinking about that fact again but nonetheless he hesitantly charged forward. The Verdant Witch was stolid despite the trespasser basically launching himself at him, his eyes were transfixed on the trespasser's feet. He must have realized just as the third party that from shooting up the opening of his socks a subtle black mist.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMorY9tXS7L
It was because of such an abnormality with all facts about it being unknown that The Verdant Witch stepped so cautiously. The third party agreed that they would too in this situation. The man now stood before him and drew his hand back as preparing for an attack, yet The Verdant Witch remained stationary. Not even when the white knuckles had cut through the air, anyone would at least flinch, but The Verdant Witch had not. The trespasser was left frozen just centimeters within colliding The Witch's face, the impact had never come.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8QXPIYSqE
His next actions were far more absurd than the last spontaneous with no possible tie that could be salvaged to a previous event. The trespasser only released one finger after scraping it off his thumb. All that had collided was a single gentle finger with The Verdant Witch’s nose. For most this would evoke peace but for both of the belligerent parties faces stretched into a mischievous grimace of course the trespasser’s grimace unhinged.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYyXy0nRca
So it lit the room as a declaration on war embedded by the one who weaved the stars. As the subtle black mist arose again the man ever so swiftly blanketed the floor his angle leaving a trail of soot life substance. The sweeping kick was avoided by The Verdant Witch who so adroitly avoided his leg with a well timed jump. Timing is everything held up quite well in this case as The Verdant Witch’s opponent sent forth more of these kicks.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybeq4dtKHg
Each possibility of injury was skillfully averted. The third party still had thoughts of confusion concluding that this fight was pointless before it had even begun. Even then they both watched in bewilderment for they had never experienced such a thrill, and the possibility the verdant witch might finally reveal a far more groundbreaking revelation.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHKbiJjJHY
“You really don’t seem like you’re trying. C’mon, if you are appointed by the guardians you must have some kind of trick up your sleeves.” Perhaps it had never dawned on the man that this was a purposeful tactic that had been calculated. Apparently so as the pattern continued unaffected.
The Verdant Witch stepped on his adversary’s, it was clearly a direct result of being provoked to alter the strategy, swearing he would force the trespasser into a state of regret. As expected, the trespasser had little to no reaction, only kicking the witch away. As a result both of them were set off balance but within moments they were both back on their feet.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSroPTQiEIu
“Ah now I finally know what this reminds me of. This game the other kids used to play where this one kid had a rope and swung it around and everyone else needed to jump over it. Luckily I was always the last man standing.” The theory that the third party had concocted had been further supported by this statement of The Verdant Witch, such tactics could never guarantee a victory.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JnnGE097K
“Seriously?! That’s what you’ve been thinking about this whole time?” The trespasser groaned. It was about time they shared some mutual frustration within this scenario. The Verdant Witch let his lips erupt into a smirk that was perfectly fitting for his notorious reputation.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjESSQmyeuP
“Yep” The Witch complimented his smirk by allowing his tongue to fall from his mouth. The trespasser sent another kick, rather than sweeping motion that targeted a broad vicinity he had pinpointed a specific objective. This was meant to injure his adversary’s rib cage, however his goal moved by just an inch and his foot bashed straight into the wall his unhinged grimace shifted to one of pain. “Ouch”162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDevEuQ3EtH
The Witch clenched his hand into a fist as the trespasser was still phased by the pain of colliding with the solid stone wall. Unfortunately for the trespasser he didn’t have a chance to observe or assess his surroundings through the eyes that were red and irritated with tears. The Witch stopped just before reaching the trespasser’s forehead, while frozen he dragged his middle finger across his thumb, flicking him.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEHNv0pziO
“Is that your sense of poetic justice?” The Trespasser was expectant of answers yet he only received a smile that morphed into an uncontrolled cackle. Far from fitting the title which was bestowed upon him, anyone would doubt that this was the person who bore the title of The Verdant Witch.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl437n0ioeF
Through his lighthearted laugh The Verdant Witch barely managed to speak the words expelled in strands. "Not. Really. I just. Wanted. To see your. Reaction, it was priceless." He wiped the tears from the corner of his eye. "Okay, okay I'm back now, let's finish fighting, that's what we were doing right?" The man slapped him across the face suddenly with no previous indication he would. "OUCH! That was really petty!" The Verdant Witch clutched the irritated spot of his cheek.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEBKMCy1jU
"Not really, I just wanted to see your reaction, it was priceless!” The unhinged smirk of the trespasser was purely psychotic. Along with his erratic emotions the umber mist fluctuated in activity, perhaps darkness gave light to possible means of victory without revealing himself as The Verdant Witch.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvoqpolnjr
The Verdant Witch returned the slap which was predictable but the trespasser appeared to be too in the moment soaking up his last scraps of petty revenge. Before the boy’s adversary could properly recoil his energy and coordination, he was met with a knee that looked as though it could have carved out his stomach. The interest of The Third Party only peaked as they continued exchanging these painful attacks.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VxiJ2O0O0
It was beyond comical how this could have accumulated in a far more peaceful manner, then the trespasser wouldn’t have to be faced with such bloodshed and the blood that now flowed in small streams could have remained in his nose and other body parts. Of course the painful part of this couldn’t have been physical, otherwise he would have stopped long ago, really it was the spirit of his damaged ego. Afterall any masculine individual would blush when sustaining such injuries from a child.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGcZwCzARp
The sight of blood, painting a sky of obscure figures fading in and out of sight, unable to fully grasp it, hold onto it and understand it. The third party attempted to relentlessly grasp hold and peer a closer look into the void. Whenever she returned her fist to her sight, unfolding her palm to reveal its contents there was nothing again, just nothing, pure emptiness. It was in moments like that everything else to her eye was nothing more than those abstract figures.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhY6suDvbz
Those abstract figures were deep in a physical conflict, yet she had forgotten who they were and with their identities stripped she forgot why she was here watching them so intently. Hands of darkness stretched across her eyes, they weren’t familiar at all, a foreign mass enclosing around just the four of them. The rest of the world disappeared.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWCC2QupJ
“Mauj are you alright? You’ve been standing there for a while. Shouldn’t we do something to intervene before they kill each other?”Maguette's voice alone sent a ripple of light across the tempest of festering darkness. It scattered off to the side dilapidating pathetically as they should. It created a clearing where Mauj could finally see her surroundings again.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqz4gWN3Qb
“I’m sorry, Maguette I was having a bit of a moment wasn’t I? We should do what we came here to do instead of whatever we were doing before.” Mauj sniffed, along with the mucus festering she sniffed away those intrusive thoughts plaguing her.
“You don’t need to apologize, speculating was really fun, I mean of course before that dude started bleeding and acting like a maniac.” Maguette’s look of delight never faded. Of course there was the occasion where it would shift a blank expression in moments of profound thought, but as an overall principle.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyX0ZjHu5F
“Of course, I’ll just say something about all of this, I’m sure that it’s still possible to reason with them.” Just as Mauj spoke the trespasser was knocked to the ground again, which was a role each of them had held intermittently, but it appeared that The Verdant Witch had skin that was incapable of scratch or abrasion the only injury he wore was the small bruise on his cheek. 162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiOzeuOURg
“Or maybe not, but we’ll try anyway. I’ll go back to being a doll now to not offset them and then I’ll just go back into your purse. The other worlds you people came from don’t have technology like me, right?” Mauj looked down to Maguette but her eyes were frozen shut again the green markings on her forehead completely colorless and devoid of the life her vessel had previously harbored.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DjAG3lU3t
Mauj slipped the doll away into her bag as she was commanded by her. Maguette was right, even Mauj panicked a bit when she heard the mysterious voice leaking from her bag. Even then she was completely skeptical until Maguette had proved her knowledge of the world, knowledge that a hallucination would have never known. She stepped out from her hiding place to reveal herself to the others.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrGLMTPcO0
“Alright, can someone explain to me exactly what's going on here.” Even though Mauj herself had seen the entire scenario from only a few feet away she chose this method of revealing their mistakes.
