"Emboldened by the dishonor Hecate had shown, Azura lifted her staff to the cotton candy skies and shouted, 'I challenge you to a witch's duel!'" Char read aloud. "And look! I drew a flipbook! Pew, pew, pew!" She mimicked the sounds as she flipped the page. "Show me the picture!" King demanded.
"What?"
"Show me the picture!" King demanded again. So, the demigirl flipped the book around to show him. "Ha! I can draw better than that! Y'know, they once called me the King of Artists." He looked off wistfully into the distance. Like I said in the last chapter: watch out, Da Vinci. "Wait, I thought you were the King of Demons." She had a joking smile on their face. "Are you just making this up, now?"
"Doesn't matter!" He decreed. "What's important is that my followers would leave me offerings in fear of me."
"Well, I can offer you more of this tantalizing book." Char offered, holding up her book. "Ugh! Please stop reading that." Carmen groaned. "Its flowery language is an insult to witches and driving away all of our serious customers."
"Um, Carmen? What customers?" Void gestured around to the very much empty space. "There aren't even any other stands around. What's going on?"
"This is a bad omen. Something terrible must be happening today."
"Char! Something amazing is happening today!"
It's everyone's favorite: drumroll please.
"Koda! Saph!" She brought up a hand to wave to her friends. "Hey!" Saph held up a poster. "It's the annual covention! Student witches get to see all the types of covens before they're placed in one." Xe explained. "There's even a mystery guest this year!" She pointed to the bottom of the poster which had MYSTERY GUEST! in big, bold, green letters.
"A job fair for witches! Carmen, can we go?" Char asked, excitedly, leaning up against Carmen for extra suck-up points. "Absolutely not." Carmen decreed. Char fell to the ground in absolute devastation.
"I never joined a coven for a reason." The demiwoman began. "Sure, it's like a fun club for witches, but you're also giving up your independence to be part of a crooked system." They slammed their fist on the table for extra "I hate the government" points.
Saph and Koda looked a little upsetti spahghetti after she said that. "Eh, but you know, no judgment." She recovered her insult(?). "In any case, I haven't been to one since we were kids." Dammit, Carmen, you said too much. "We?" Char knows a backstory when she smells one.
"I-I-uh-"
"Who's we? You have a mysterious past! Now we gotta go!"
"No."
"Okay. Then you leave me no choice."
King knew what he was to do. "'You shall not shan't doeth no more harm!' Azura callethed out." He read aloud. "So flowery. So awful." Carmen stared ahead, probably thinking 'Titan, just take me now.' She lifted the portal and opened it as King continued "Hecate could only screech, screech as did she, for the screeching did worseneth-"
Carmen walked through the portal. Right before it closed, void threw the literal child into portal, with him still reading. Seconds later, the witch came back. "Stop it! Stop it! I will literally do anything, just stop this!" She yelled.
