Knock out

    >Alto<

Alto woke up to his head pounding.What had happened to them?He attemped to get up,but found he was bound to a tree with rope.Lisette layed unconscious tied up to a nearby tree as well.Where were they?

"It's about time one of you woke up"A male voice grunted.

"It's you..Dante!Free us!Why have you done this!?"Alto began to remember what had happened to his home.His eyes filled with tears seeing his mother getting encased in that crystal. Everything was destroyed.Everyone was gone."I'll Kill you for your sins!"

Dante yawned.His expression unchanging.A sleepy look on his face.He seemed so calm after all he'd done.It irked Alto that this man was so at peace after destroying a village and taking countless lives.

"How are you,Alto"Another person spoke up.A female this time.It was Hilda!She was going to pay worse than Dante!He was going to get both of them.

"I hate both of you!Let me go,so I can take both of you in!You will pay for what you did to Mithra!"Alto glared at the duo with rage filled eyes.

"Alto..Stop it."Lisette's eyes opened lazily.She looked so comfortable.How could she be ok with these conditions."Dante,can you let me go?"

"Sure"Dante got up and headed towards her ropes.He sliced at them with his lance and immediately she was free.

"Alto,We need to talk about my condition.So you won't believe it,but I'm a witch."Lisette giggled as she said the last part.After Lisette glared at the Witch of Destruction."Trust me as angry as you are,but we have to look at our choices,Alto.If we escape and run we're in the middle of a deadly forest.We have no way to contact anyone and neither of us are ready to handle all of those monsters.Or we could stay with them and Dante here is actually a little nice.

"Hey.I freed you!I can put you back in the ropes."Dante said.

"Anyways Hilda can kind of fix mom and she agreed to help me understand my powers.If not controlled I can actually hurt people and I don't want that.As you saw I can heal and she can show me how to do even better.Dante even agreed to train you a bit."Lisette looked satisfied with the explanation.Though Alto wasn't convinced.He wouldn't leave Lisette.She seemed a bit too okay with this.It was a little strange.Oh no!He knew what happened now.

"Hilda free her now!"Alto glared at the witch.

"Aw you realized.Well yes it is very minor,but she is actually with us."Hilda snapped her fingers.

"Please don't put me under such a spell please.I was screaming inside,but Alto it is true I do think we should stay.It is honestly the safest route right now.If We go somewhere else people might discriminate or they might not allow us there because we were attacked by Hilda and we might be a 'taboo'."

"Also it's about time I explain how I will free your mother.By using a certain spell I can free your mother's spirit,but not her entire body.Then I have an idea of what we can do with the spirit.We have a mechanic back at my kingdom and he should be able to do something about it.If not there's alchemist.Either way by the end of the process she will be able to hug you."

"Well w-when will we be able to a-actually bring her back?"Lisette asked a little shakily.

"It's a little dangerous,but if you really want to free your mother and anyone who is trapped you would need all 5 witches.You have 2 so we need to find the other 3.If you really do want this done I will help you."

It was strange to see that the tension between the two groups had suddenly disappeared. Lisette could see the confusion on her companion's face and gave him the "i'll explain later look" which calmed him a bit.It was still a little disgruntling to know that they were suddenly trusting their enemies.

"I believe that it is time we all get to know each other!Dante free Alto and please don't try anything I'm a bit tired right know"Hilda said while levitating to sit on a branch of Alto's tree.
