Chapter 1
[Country: Italy, City: Roma, Place: Abandoned School Gymnasium,Time: 11:48]
Imani Navarro
OKAY, candle number 13. Done. That's the cursed one btw, so don't step on it.
Leo Hwang
What if i kick it over by accident?
Aurelien Rayes
Then you'll curse your entire bloodline, leo. Again.
Noah Elric
For the third time.
Imani Navarro
Y'll are so dramatic. This is just for fun. You wanted spooky vibes, so here we are.
Noah Elric
This doesn't FEEL like fun. It feels like we're summoning satan.
Aurelien Rayes
Bro, it's literally from pinterest. Chill.
Leo Hwang
Pretty sure pinterest doesn't recommend chanting in Latin under a blood moon.
Imani Navarro
We have five minutes before midnight. Everyone take your place!
They sit around the chalk circle, holding (very mismatched) candles. Aurelien's candle is purple. Leo's is a scented one Yankee candle.
Aurelien Rayes
Mine smells like lavender.
Imani Navarro
Good. Maybe the demon will relax.
Leo Hwang
I brought the book. And yes, it's definitely not a fake. Got it from weird site with pop-ups and a flaming goat icon.
Imani Navarro
*Chanting dramatically* Spirits of night, open the gate... bind the fate, seal the name, light the flame—
All together: *Mumbling* —let our voices call the name.
Noah Elric
This is SO dumb. We're gonna get detention and a haunting.
Leo Hwang
...Did you feel that?
Aurelien Rayes
Whose phone just glitched?
Imani Navarro
GUYS—LOOK AT THE CIRCLE.
They all turned their head to look at the chalk circle which now started glowing. Candles flare. The levender one explodes into blue fire.
Aurelien Rayes
WHAT TH—IMANI WHAT DID YOU—
Imani Navarro
I DIDN'T THINK IT'D ACTUALLY WORK?!
Leo Hwang
The floor. It's moving. THE FLOOR IS MELTING—
Noah Elric
Bro, the floor is NOT supposed to do that!
Glowing cracks spider through the wind. A low him rises. Symbols appear mid-air. Aurelien is at the center, frozen.
Imani Navarro
YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID LAST WORDS!
Aurelien Rayes
IT RHYMED I DIDN'T MEAN TO!
The entire gym shudders. Light explodes. The circle implodes. Screaming.
Leo Hwang
I'M TOO HOT TO DIE—
Noah Elric
Shut up and grab something!
Aurelian reaches for Noah. Imani tries to jump out. The ground splits open. They all fall—into nothing.
Suddenly, the glowing circle pulsed violently, and the smaller circles beneath the others turned pitch black. One by one, they dropped with a flash—no time to scream. Before Aurelien could move, the center flared beneath him too, and the ground gave way. They fell.

I'll update when I get each of them.
Chapter 2
The world slams back into color. Blazing red. Screaming. Smoke.
Aurelien Rayes
Ughhh... my face... my back... my soul.
He groans, lying half-buried in dry grass. The smell of burning wood chokes him.
Villagers: *Shouting* TIE HER TIGHTER!
Aurelien Rayes
*Muffled* Huh?
He pushes up on trembling arms. His vision spins. Ahead of him—a firewood pyre. And tied to the stake, a women in black cloak. Hands bound. Blood running down her face.
Crowd: *chanting* Kill the witch! Kill the witch!!
The crowd is huge—dozens of villagers, torches blazing, pitchforks glinting. Children crying. Dogs barking. An old priest raising a burning censer.
Old Priest
By the light of Orem, she shall BURN!
The women raises her head—eyes glowing faint silver. Her lips twitch. Smiling?
Villager 1
She cursed the duke's son!
Villager 2
She made the fields rot!
Villager 3
She speaks to the crows at night!
Aurelien Rayes
*Muttering* Am I... in a Ren faire??
Suddenly—his arm glows. A faint sigil—same as from the ritual circle—shimmers blue on his wrist. It flares.
Torch sparks fly. The witch's bindings loosen. Aurelien stumbles forward—he doesn't even know he's moving.
Villager 4
*Pointing* WHO IS THAT?!
Aurelien Rayes
*Panicking* I DUNNO I DUNNO I'M LOST I'M SORRY—
He steps with into the circle of the pyre. His hand grazes the rope. It snaps. The witch collapses into him.
Crowd: *screaming* HE'S SAVING HER! HE'S A WARLOCK TOO!!
Aurelien Rayes
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
He tries to back away, but the woman—her bindings now mostly gone—grabs his face. Her eyes glow brighter.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
You're not from this world.
Aurelien Rayes
You THINK?!
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Hold on.
She slams her palm to the sigil on his wrist. A ring of black fire bursts around them. The villagers scream. Light explodes.
When the smoke clears—they're gone.
Chapter 3
Aurelien wakes up groggy in a moss-lit cavern. The air smells faintly of sulfur and herbs. Shadows flicker along stone walls. A distant flame crackles.
Aurelien Rayes
*groans* Where... am I? Did I just get reborn in a dungeon?
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
You speak too much for someone who nearly got skewered.
Aurelien jolts. His eyes snap toward the figure sitting calmly by the fire — a women with long deep black hair and cold violet eyes.
Aurelien Rayes
THE WITCH! You're the witch! The burning one! The fire, the village—!
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Observant. Unfortunately.
Aurelien Rayes
Wait—am I dead?!
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
No. I would not waste magic on the dead.
Aurelien Rayes
You—you did this?! You kidnapped me?! Lady, I was minding my own business doing "totally legal" black magic and now I'm in a horrer novel?!
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
You tore open a rift just when I was casting a powerful summoning spell. You interfered.
Aurelien Rayes
I was just screwing around with my friends! I didn't even think it would work!
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
And yet, it did. Your clumsy ritual crossed with mine. The pull linked. I recieved power and got you.
Aurelien Rayes
( Damn I knew Witches exists. It's good i read isaki mangas. ( ꈍᴗꈍ) )
Aurelien Rayes
You were trying to summon a demon, weren't you?
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Yes. Something useful.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
❄️ Be greatful. You got to feel the only one spell I had left and one anchor. I used it. You interrupted the spell meant to unbind me. And the magic latched onto you. That's the only reason I didn't burn alive.
Aurelien Rayes
So... I didn't actually save you?
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
You were... a magical inconvenience. Nothing more.
Aurelien Rayes
( And here I thought I was gonna be a hero saving a beautiful kind witch and then she'd follow me in my isaki trip. )
Aurelien Rayes
( (╥﹏╥) She ain't sweet but cold asf nor am I a hero in shining amor. )
Aurelien Rayes
Geat! I'm a glorified spell error.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
And now you're a tethered. To me. Temporarily.
Aurelien Rayes
What do you mean tethered?
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
The spell fused. My life spell anchored to yours for survival. It was not by choice.
Aurelien Rayes
Wait so like... we're bound? Like soul-bound??
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Call it that again and I'll turn you into a mouse.
Aurelien Rayes
... Got it, not soul-bound. Magically... tether-snuggled.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
....
Aurelien Rayes
Can I say something?
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
*Nod*
Aurelien Rayes
You're scary. In a sexy evil aunt kinda way.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
... What did you just call me?
Aurelien Rayes
Nothing! Nothing! Just—how old are you anyway?!
*Trying to change the topic*
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Old enough to remember the first time your kind tried to drown me.
Aurelien Rayes
*Whisper*
Witch aunty it is then.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
I'm Ruvetha. One of the seven. We are the last witches on this land—and the most haunted.
Aurelien Rayes
... Haunted?
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
*Eyes darkened*
Humans drove our kind to extinction. They feared what they could not control.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
We were hunted, burned, betrayed. I am the last of my bloodline.
Aurelien Rayes
*quietly* I... I'm sorry.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
*Icy* Don't apologise for your kind. Just stay out of my way till you're here.
Aurelien Rayes
So... you're saying I can't go home.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Not unless I recreate the anchor. That would take years.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
Try not to cry too loud. Predators like the sound.
Ruvetha Seraphin [Witch]
You brought it on yourself, little curse.
Scene ends with Aurelian wipping his fake tears with handkerchief and praying goodbye to his mom-dad while Rue casually conjures a dagger made of black fire and stabs it into the wall — forming a glowing protective sigil.
