Original title - Rebirth of the "evil" Witch
Here we are the final battle. I dark witch Excella faced off with the legendary hero Caius.
Our battle was fierce with neither side willing to back down.
...only to be betrayed by my second in command. My...
The final battle had begun. I the dark witch Excella was facing down with the legendary hero. Our battle would finally put an end to this long grueling war.
"Surrender Excella. Your reign of evil has come to an end." The hero said standing heroically sword drawn while his armor covered most of his body.

He had spirit but my mood darkened from his words.
"Evil you say? I suppose that is how it must appear to the Lux empire but their matters are of no concern to me. Everything I have done and sacrificed has been for the best interest of my people!" I responded resolute
"I know Excella. That is why I request that you surrender and promise a fair trial if you do so." He responded to me and I'm not sure why but something within me snapped at that point
"Heheheh. A fair trial?!? Don't make me laugh. Who would decide the trial is fair the emperor of Lux?!?" I spouted derangedly before letting out a psychotic laugh
"AAAAAAAAAHAHA. Oohhhhhh" I finally composed myself
"Hero if you reached here that means you've already slain my comrades. Why then do you think I would deserve mercy?!? I'm the big crazy evil witch right!?! Enough with the pleasantries." I said before dashing at him at top speed swinging my scythe right at him.
*clang* he parried my scythe with his blessed gauntlet and brought his sword down making contact with the handle of my scythe.
Our gaze met with my eyes filled with hatred while his were filled with Pity which only angered me more.
I jumped back and cast shadow orbs in rapid succession like a Gatling gun but he swiftly dodged to the right running behind the pillars at points before coming out on the other side with a magic reflecting shield sending my shots back at me.
I did my best to deflect them but to no avail taking a massive beating from my own attack how ironic.
I was known as the dark witch but unfortunately I had my own issues I was born with. I wasn't immune to my own magic and I was highly susceptible to pain. Every shot that hit me felt like a 3rd degree burn in that location. I took all I had not to cry out in pain it was agonizing.
the hero charged towards me but I wasn't done yet. If I couldn't use projectile magic I'd simply cause explosions.
I created one explosion after another keeping the hero on his toes however, he was returning fire with his own spells of the 4 elements. I put up an elemental barrier which managed to stop most of the hits but a few rocks broke through causing me to close my eyes from the debris.
In that time the hero capitalized on my flinching and a wave of silver flame my way. The flame engulfed most of my body leaving me with clothes almost completely burnt and my body covered in first and second degree burns. It would be painful for anyone but for me it was excruciating.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed out in pain before collapsing to my knees.
Not yet. I'm not done yet. I got back to my feet before feeling myself slam into the floor again causing the pain from the burnt skin to swell up.
"My Lady stop this. You've done enough." An all too familiar voice rang out causing me to freeze and look up to see the face of the person I trusted most. Lisia

Her white hair, pale skin, and black armor betrayed her kind and caring personality but the look on her face was simply one of sadness as her soldiers rushed in to join the battle.
"Heeheehee. Looks like you're out of time hero now you have to choose. Escape and save your own skin or Take me out an- urf." The force of magic increased and that was when I realized she wasn't here to help me she was on the heroes side.
"Lisia... why?" Shock, Pain, disbelief, this had to be a joke right?!? Lisia had been by my side since I was little there's no way she'd betray me right right.
"This... this is a joke right Lisia... this has to be a joke doesn't it?" I asked desperately but her eyes showed no humor only sadness. I could see her mouth "I'm sorry" but no words reached me no sound at all.
I was alone and abandoned by those I held closest. Even Lisia who I cared for like my own sister left me... this was it huh.
"damn you Damn You DAMN YOOOOUUUUUU!" I screamed as emotions Welled up inside me and massive energy of pitch black darkness began to cover the ceiling.
This was the power of an evil dark witch. The power to destroy an entire nation given enough time.
"Destroy... I'LL DESTROY ALL OF IT!" I began to bring the energy down upon everyone
"My lady!" I heard Lisia cry out one last time
Unfortunately I never got the satisfaction of wiping them all out as the hero made a dash for it with his sword coated in the silver flame and piercing my heart.
The flame engulfed my body inside and out putting me through the most agonizing pain imaginable.
I couldn't hear anymore but I imagined my screams sounded like that of a mad woman. I could see the dark orb burning away to nothing as my body continued to be engulfed by the flames. I wished I could just pass out from the pain already but I couldn't not until the darkness was fully destroyed.
Finally after what felt like hours of pain the orb dissipated and the flames no longer engulfed me. My long white hair had been singed and anything below my shoulders felt like it was burnt off entirely. My clothes were in tattered remains and I could feel my limbs were charred remains of what the once were.
I used my eyes to look into the eyes of my killer only to realize the hero had lost his helmet. He was a fairly young man no older than 20 with raven black hair and sapphire blue eyes and he was... crying?
I knew my final moments were upon me as I Saw Lisia run up by the heroes side. She was saying something but her voice fell on deaf ears.
I stared at the hero wanting to curse him say I would destroy everything he cares for and get my revenge but I couldn't find it in myself to say that the only words I could bring myself to say were.
"Tears for your enemy? How foolish." And with that my eyes shut one last time and my sad pathetic life as Excella the dark witch came to an end.
But what was I supposed to do with all these feelings of betrayal and despair. No I wasn't done yet. Some day some how I would return. Count on it.
