chapter 3 Caleb and Evelyn

My name is Philip whittabang, me and my brother Caleb, are witch hunters. Our parents were witch hunters, and taught us the ways of catching and slaying witches. Unfortunately they were killed by a witch clan, commonly known as the clawthorn clan. We have made an oath to slay all witches we find, no matter what

3rd person:
Philip and Caleb were walking through town, they were very well known and liked for the work of their parents. And now they have e taken on that responsibility. "Good marrow!" They hear all through their morning walk. "Caleb, we should try and hunt down the clan that slayed our parents" Philip said to his brother. "I agree, but how? We don't know where those witch come from" Caleb replied as they entered a heavy woods. "Maybe they hide within our forest? Or another relm?" Philip said opening his diary started to write things down. Then they see a run down cabin, with a green door. "Huh, was this always here?" Philip asks his older brother. They are about to enter when they hear a witch like cackle. "A witch.. " Caleb mutters. They quickly run home and grab supplies. Including a warped dagger. Then quickly rush back and enter the shack. Little do the know, everything was about to change. They were transported to a whole nother world of strange creatures and people with pointy ears. Philp was very disturbed by this but Caleb was memorized. "Woah, this land in beautiful" he stated. "We must focus, we should spilt up and look for the witch, you look through that forest and I'll look in this strange town" philp said putting his journal in his bag. Caleb headed into the forest and was amazed by the wonders of this world. Then saw balls of light floating around. He followed them to their source. But I was a woman in a red cloak short brown hair, a red, white and brown dress and black boots. She was somehow creating them. Then disappeared for a second, Caleb walked out to where she was but she was no where to be seen. Then appeared out of thin air. "Ah!" Caleb yelled falling over from the woman appearing in front of him. The woman started laughing, then bent down to help him up. "Sorry about that!" The woman said extending a hand to celebrate to help him up. He took her hand and they were soon face to face. "No worries, my apologies for watching you" Caleb said, the woman put a hand on her hip looking Caleb up and down. "So.. Why we're you?" She asked Caleb put a hand on the back of his neck looking up at the lights. "I was, following these balls of lights, did you make them?" The woman was confused to why he would ask that, then caught sight of his ears. "Oh! Your human!" She said getting closer to Caleb. "W-well yeah.. Aren't you?." He asked nervously. "No silly, I'm a witch! This whole world is filled with witches and demons" she said. Caleb got nervous, a world of witches? But witches were evil. So why was she so friendly?. "I can show you around?" She asked summoning her staff to her hand. "S-sure! Umm what's that?" She asked gestureing to her staff. "My palismin, it's a creature we have that becomes our magic staff"  she hops on her staff and Caleb reluctantly gets on, "by the way, what's your name?" She asked as Caleb adjusted himself on the staff. "It's Caleb, you?" he replied. "The names Evelyn! Hang on tight" she said as she flew I to the air, catching sight of the titians skull. "Welcome to the boiling isles" she said. And that was a new beginning for Caleb, Evelyn shows him the whole isles and all the different kinds of magic. The different creatures, Caleb loved this new release of magic. And he and Evelyn became quite close over a few weeks. Then the problem started, Philip only despised this realm more by the day and kept trying to remind his brother of why they were here. "We have to avenge our parents!" He yelled. Caleb looked down to the floor. "I don't think witches killed them philp! These citizens have been nothing but Friendly" he says gestureing to the town full of witches. "Caleb of course they killed them! What other reason can there be! We are witch hunters! And your friends with one!" Caleb says pointing to the little red Bird on Caleb's shoulder, a palismin Evelyn had helped him carve. "W-well. May e I don't want to be a witch hunter anymore!" Caleb says turning from his brother. "Is this about that woman?! You giving up our family legacy for a female?!" Philp questions. "You don't get it! S-shes special! She's been nothing but kind to me, even though I'm human! Don't talk ill of her!" Caleb says as the bird chirps. "Y-you didn't... Your fell for her..." Philp says in disbelief. Caleb turns a light pink hue in the face. "M-maybe I have.. But your crazy! These people haven't done anything wrong" Caleb says to his brother, to who is no burning with rage. "You've fallen in love with a witch!? That's unforgivable!" Philp yells, but Caleb just leaves into a forest leading to a hill. A hill him and Evelyn usually meet to talk and hangout. He sits down and sees Evelyn flying above. "Hey Caleb! What are you doing?" She asks flying down towards him. "Oh... Me and my brother had a fight" he answers as the witch sits down next to him. "Oh, well that's okay, me and my sister Lilian fight sometimes to" she says trying to reassure him. After that Caleb and Phillip grew distant while he and Evelyn grew only closer, eventually confessing their feeling for each other. Life got better for the two, they got married, and had a child. But this angered Phillip, he was going to free his brothers soul from the clutches of Evelyn. He went to there home. And broke in waking the two up, they took there child and fled. Phillip followed them into the woods. "Take our child! Run" Caleb said. Handing her the baby. "I won't leave you!" Evelyn said with tears in her eyes. "You must! Hurry go" he says giving a light shove in a different direction. "I'll be back for you" she said taking her child to safety. Soon after Evelyn was out of sight, Phillip stepped before his older brother. "I'm sorry brother, but I must free your soul" he said approaching Caleb. "N-no!" And echoed cry sounds the forest, Evelyn returnes fr leaving her child with her sister. "C-caleb!.." She says running to him. Blood around him with a stab wound in his chest. "This is your fault" Phillip says in a threatening tone. Before killing Evelyn as well. After that Phillip swore to him self he would kill every witch in this realm.
