Deep in the forests of Xosi, there lives a woman who some say is a witch- More in comments

She hasn't bothered your town in a violent way, only appearing in the dead of night for food and other things, your town, being heavily religious, decides to make a small group of people to hunt her down and burn her at the stake. You, not wanting an innocent person to die, decide to leave a few days before the group to warn her, making it into the forest just before the sun sets, you see her, standing in the field quietly with her eyes closed

Salena: *quietly approaches*

"I can hear your breathing.."
Her eyes are still closed, her hands calmly to her sides
"If you are here to kill me I must warn you, many have tried and obviously...none have succeeded, I do not bother your town...I have no ill will towards your people..so please, tell me your reasoning for this visit.."

Salena: I knew that you would hear me, but I have come to warn you. The people of my town are coming to kill you.

"And so you decided to be the 'hero' and warn the witch?..You are as foolish as I thought, now they will kill you..."
She opened her eyes, they seemed to be an unearthly green with a small tint of worry
"My dear...no matter how many men they send they will not see me fall, I thank you for the gesture but now it has become my job to keep you safe"

Salena: Oh?!

"Do you not think?..What is your name?"

Salena: *smiles and bows* My name is Salena.

Secra stuttered for a moment
"I-I'm sure..."

Salena: *gives you a hug* T-thank y-you!

"Now repeat after me....Το σνακ που χαμογελάει πίσω"
(This literally means "The snack that smiles back" but we gon pretend that it means something magical)

Salena: Το σνακ που χαμογελάει πίσω

"What else can you do? What limits does this form have?"

Salena: *smiles* I can do a lot more in this form.

"Try your spells now.."

Salena: *mutters something in Cryptalic*

"Show me?"

Salena: *takes a deep breath* Centirao Climataci!

(Dope asf)
Secra smiled and jumped up
"Yes! Yes! You did it!!"

(Thx!)
Salena: *smiles*

Secra watched intently

Salena: *her eyes changed from dark brown to light blue*

Secra's eyes began to glow slightly as the air around them spun and danced

Salena: Woah..

Secra stayed silent, knowing any sudden movements would ruin everything

Salena: Acero Akina Tainika Revilio!

Secra watched in awe

Salena: *opens a portal and her tentaci grow larger*

Secra's mouth moved along with the words, repeating the spell

Salena: *reveals her real form (Cryptid Enchantress), breathless* Did I do it...?

Secra: "I am Secra, The Witch of Xosi"
She bowed as well, smiling
"A pleasure to meet you"

Salena: Tis a pleasure to meet you too! *in mind* I wonder if I should tell her that I am a young, untrained Cryptid Witch...

"Only when I look into that persons eyes, its a blessing and a curse I suppose, but back to the topic of that mob, when are they coming?"

Salena: I don't know. Tonight, I think...

Secra shrugged slightly
"Life's tough then you die..nothing more you can, or should, do..messing with the balance of this realm had dire consequences"

Salena: *nods*

"Gimmie your hands"
She extends her in a welcoming way and smiles

Salena: *does so*

Secra just nodded, her demeanor like that of a mothers, stern but caring
"I just can't imagine what was going through your head when you came out here.."

Salena: *sadly smiles* I couldn't stand by and watch another innocent die. The people of my town already kill my mama and she didn't do anything.

Secra smiled
"Deary...you will do great things"

Salena: *looks up and you see that she has the same eye color as her mom* R-Really?!

Secra almost shouted
"Her name child!..Tell me her d*mn name!"
Secra seemed on edge, her body trembling

Salena: *gets scared* A-Angelina.

"They killed her?...For what purpose?.."

Salena: She was a witch like you... and married to a Cryptid...

She sputtered for a moment before continuing to walk, they finally made it to her little house and she closed the door softly, she lit the candles and sat down in the middle of the floor
"Sit"
She said calmly, patting the ground in front of her

Salena: *sits*

"That should give me enough time to teach you a few basic things..."

Salena: Oh? Okay?

Secra closed her eyes and began to chant in an unrecognizable language, soon after she stopped speaking, she opened her eyes
"You are a strong one...your magic is strong and your future bright"
She smiled slightly and continued
"Although you doubt yourself your mothers blood runs through your veins...everything I will teach you will seem hard but I believe you will be able to get it down"

Salena: *silver-ish tears fall from her eyes as she nods*

"Yes...way before you were born..she was a great witch"

Salena: *nods* A great witch and an amazing mama.

Secra looked horrified, her eyes welling up with tears
"Angelina...I knew her, she worked with me.."

Salena: You knew my Mama?!

Secra watched, enchanted

Salena: *her eyes a light glacier blue* Tinaerio!

"Anything else?"
Secra says quietly, her gaze at the house in the distance

Salena: *shakes her head*

"Follow me..." she begins to walk towards her hut

Salena: O-okay. *follows*

"If you have questions ask them now, when we get to my home it will be all training"

Salena: Why do you live in the forest?

Secra stopped in her tracks, turning slowly
"Her name..."
Secra spoke in almost a whisper

Salena: Huh?

(Is it okay if my oc knows your oc's mom, like shes family or sum)

(Sure)

They walked a great distance to her hut, Secra stayed silent for the walk

Salena: *looks around, curious*

Secra smirked
"No need, you just did"

Salena: *surprised* You can read minds too?!

Secra chuckled
"I was chased out of town, me and my mother i mean, when i was younger and she built this place..after she passed I couldn't bear to leave it so I stayed"

Salena: Oh. I'm sorry to here that.

Secra wiped the tear from her face
"Calm child...it is okay"

Salena: I'm just happy to be able to use my abilities properly.

She nodded in sincerity
"We should get going though..I imagine they gon' be here soon"

Salena: *nods*
