Gem Witch Luzura

Chapter 1: Crystalized matter

Conformitorium, Boiling Isles

It was a dark and cloudy night.

A crowd had gathered around in mix of sound, some excited for a high profile execution, others lashing out against it. Said victim was being dragged to her final spot wrapped in magic chains
The figure in question was dark skinned with mint green hair. She also wore a white dress and hat, with purple for the bottom half of her dress, and a gold rim on the hat.

The victim was none other then The Good Witch Azura. While she was here for mixing magic, and shenanigans with the emperor's coven like most wild witches, she was also here for trying to prevent the odd "execution" of her rival turned friend Hectate.


Once left at the platform, the chains turned into a cage just big enough for her to kneel in. As she rose, she saw many things: the loud crowd, the scouts and guards that surrounded the rim of the ceiling, the imp that eyed her like predator to prey. However, what caught her eye the most was a machine of a frame, with titan's blood above, covering a rose pink gem, 3-meters wide: the crystallizer.

Mined from the Right Foot, it was a powerful artifact. One which, by injecting titan's blood, could blast victims and turn them into Jewels that were palm sized. Tests showed the Jewels could enhance a witch's magic, and even grant it to those couldn't naturally. Some demons complained of hearing voices in their head, but they were deemed crazy and crystallized themselves.

Eventually, Emperor Belos, the man who Azura despised the most, appeared.

"Witches and demons" His booming voice silenced the crowd. "Witness the first great test of what shall be known as: the Crsytallizer!" he waves his hand to said machine. Anyone at unease followed with the cheering due to the nearby scouts/guards and peer pressure.

"This shall be the next step in our progression as witches under the Almighty Titan." This crossed the line for Azura. The hypocrisy of Belos abusing his role as the titan Whisperer like a corrupt pope, not to mention whatever he intended to do with those crystallized

"You won't get away with this, Bull-os!" She lashed out, wrapping her hands around two of the bars. "This is madness!"

Some of those on the roof flinched at this, spooked at how angry the normally optimistic appeared. The exception was emperor Belos, as he simply sneered at the Wild witch, who was gonna be drained of her energy alongside all the other private tests sitting in the storage room.

"You don't seem like you have much ground to stand on." Belos jeered, feeling he'd already won. "Besides, these bars don't allow magic through. What could you possibly do in there?"

"THIS" Azura turned around, reached her arms out of the cage and pressed her hands against a piece of paper with a symbol on it that was previously rolled up her sleeve. Then, before anyone could react, she threw the fireball that was created from the paper at the machine. This broke off the tip of the Crystalliser. the impact pushed it back slightly and had a drop of titan's blood piped into the gem. the power, instead of unleashing a beam pointed at her instead, unleashed bolts of energy from the cut. some of it turned the guards into gems. some deflected off the emperor's shield which was hastily drawn up to keep himself from getting hit. One of which hit her cage and seemed to shatter it. She was surprised at how she got out and faced the emperor himself, still protecting herself.

"How! What have you done?!" Belos Demanded with the same rage Azura showcased earlier. Azura held a smirk for the first time since arriving here.

"Something that seemed to skirt by your stupid nose." She quipped with satisfaction. This didn't last long.

the jostling and lack of manning on the crystallizer created a shockwave that shattered the blood container. it seeped into the gem. With the overload, it started to glow brighter then in any previous tests and the ground shook pretty hard.

"Uh oh." Azura worried while Belos teleported right out of there. the crowd starts running in panic. She looked around with the feeling like the world was gonna end.

"Ok, calm down, you can get out, all you have to do is gAHHAHH!!" Azura tried to calm herself, but was stuck by one of the crystal's bolts in her right foot, knocking her down to the ground in the process. When she recovered, she felt that leg numb, as she was quickly transforming into a gem.

"Ah, crapbaskets" She muttered before seeming to succumb to a deep sleep.

after growing more and more volatile, the gem eventually shattered, creating an explosion too powerful to be created by any ordinary witch. This was followed by a pink tear in space which sucked up all the gems created by both the test and the explosion, leaving a barren land once it's gone.

1 hour later, a group of coven scouts came across the now ruined conformitorium. while there was dread among the scouts. the head of the group, adorned in gold, and white and a gold and white helmet, pulled up a crow phone.

"Emperor Belos, we have a problem. We've arrived at the conformatorium. It's been destroyed." He reported.

Belos himself witnesses the ruined structure via a scrying spell, and with reports of other space tears. he seems to lose a bit of shape.

"Investigate, and report everything!" Belos orders slowly and angrily, nearly killing the bird in ending the call. "You better hope you died to that explosion, Azura".
