It was a humid morning, a storm barely passing over the kingdom, leaving behind puddles and floods in it's wake.

As the sun slowly began to rise over the horizon, a woman stood at a small altar to worship the witches.

"And so, Witches, protect us and our humble kingdom.."
She recited, rising from her knees and wiping off some grass from her skirt.

"Time to get some insight.."
She walked off, heeled boots lightly echoing through the silent area.

But, in her wandering, she walked into a deserted village. It seemed..abandoned, and dead.
The trees were broken, the usually green grass dead..It was..disturbing, to say the least.

And that was, until she saw a dark figure sitting atop a tree. Her curiosity got the best of her as she approached them.

"..Hello? Who are you?"
They didn't respond, only lightly turning around and jumping from the tree, causing every crow on that tree to flee.

"Hey-Wait!"
Pastry simply chased after them as they hopped from tree to tree, simply grabbing branches and swinging to another stump.

"Stop right there!"
Pastry yelled, but they never replied.
It was then that she collapsed, completely out of breath.
The figure got away.

"Oh witches.."
So, Pastry simply stood, and walked back to the silent kingdom in hopes nobody heard her yelling to the person.
~♡~

It was the mid-afternoon, and Pastry was currently shopping. Yeah..Not something you expect from someone in a practical cult, but she simply needed some ingredients for foods and donations.

When she went to grab a bag of wheat, she noticed someone who looked familar.

'Wait..Isn't that..The figure in the village?!'
Her eyes widened, as she threw down some money for the wheat, rushing to push through the crowd to reach the figure, and not cause a scene.

Pastry prepared her crossbow incase it was a threat or intruder.
But, she had to be careful, nobody else could get injured, or it was all over for her.

So, when she caught up to them, she grabbed their shoulder.

"Excus-"

..And Witches, in her 24 years of living, Pastry has never felt her heart race in such a way.
The other turned around, giving Pastry a good look at her actual appearance.

"Is there an issue?"
She was sure that her face was red already, the woman was..Beautiful.
"U-uh..No, nothing. I simply would like to- know who you are?"
Pastry spoke nervously.

The other woman's face softened a bit before she spoke.

"Black Raisin, that is my name. I guard the remains of the village."
..Oh.
So, she wasn't a threat after all, she was simply doing her job.

"And you..I recognize you. You're the one who was chasing me, aren't you?"
Raisin asked in a questioning tone.

"Oh-um..Yes. I am..I simply believed you were a threat, my apologies, miss. I am Pastry, loyal follower to the Witches."
She replied.

"Hm. I get it a lot. I must return to my duty now though, goodbye Pastry."

"..Goodbye."
..Oh witches.
