"Ok so as we all know I am Hilda of Hildagardia.We will be travelling together,perhaps we should get acquainted.I will allow you two to ask me...let's see"Hilda looked up thoughtfully"12  questions"She looked at Dante.

Fine,fine!You can ask me 5."Dante rested his back on the tree,looking irritated by the presence of Alto and Lisette.

"Let's start with Hilda,Lisette"Alto began.

Alto:Hilda how old are you?

Lisette:*blushes*Alto!You don't just ask a woman her age it's-

Hilda:*raises her hand to silence the water witch*At the moment I would be a little over 1000.My age isn't all that relevant considering my abilities.So I will live as long as i'm not attacked using a certain weapon.

Lisette:That is kind of impressive,being able to see so many of the events that shaped our world,I mean.What is the weapon you were talking about?

Hilda:It is called the carbuncle.At the moment the harbingers,us,have it.So,you have nothing to worry about.Next?

Alto:*Looks up*Hilda,do you have any relatives?

Hilda:Huh,actually i don't really have much memory of my birth.It's all a blur.I only remember blood red eyes.Surprisingly they were very soft and caring.I can only remember that.*Hilda touched her chest*I haven't really thought about my past like that.

Lisette:What can you do with your powers?

Hilda:*Counts off her powers* Time travel,Darkness manipulation,Teleportation,Crystaliztion,If i focus i can revive people for a couple of hours,soul reaping..I don't want to scare you off with all of them,so I'm afraid we will leave it there.Just know that in a fight you can rely on me.

Alto:How did you learn to use your scythe?

Hilda:I'm self taught.*Pulls out her weapon*

Lisette:Why are you using crystallization on villages?

Hilda:We,the harbingers,are preparing for the end of the world.Our main clairvoyant has seen it and she is never wrong.The crystallization will preserve those towns  and once the day of doom is over we shall free everyone with the 5 witches.We are ultimately trying to decrease the amount of casualties.   

Lisette:Why crystallize towns then?There are other ways to save lives,more humane wa-*Lisette is cut off by Alto*

Alto:Thanks for that.Um,Hilda, if your really so old,have you met Elcrest?

Hilda:*smiles warmly*Yes,I did.Unfortunately he went missing some time after a certain battle.I also knew some of the original witches from that time.They were all so powerful and beautiful.I miss all the time i spent with them all.Even the king.Even her.

Lisette:Whose her?

Hilda:Don't waste a question!

Lisette:Fine.Back to the carbuncle Why was it created if it can kill witches?

Hilda:*Takes Lisette's hand*Lisette not all witches are accepted.Some of us are or were evil.They'd abuse their power and amuse themselves with the destruction of others.Humans eventually felt it necessary and prayed to a being known as Mother Qualia and she gifted them the carbuncle.With the weapon witches were hunted and tortured...even some of the innocent ones.

Alto:Hilda you've been alive for so long,so i'm curious.Does it actually hurt when you have to see someone you love die and you have to keep on going?

Hilda:*Looks at Dante*Well at this point I try not to get too close to anyone,but yes it does hurt when I lose someone close to me.It can be very depressing,but i know that they wouldn't want me to dwell on the past.

Lisette:What were the other witches like?

Hilda:Well They were all polite and well mannered.The Water witch was caring and strongly believed in any cause she fought for.The Fire witch was a bit uptight,but under that stiff demeanor was just a little girl who needed companionship.She was kindhearted.The Wind witch was.. an interesting one.She was very quiet.We almost didn't find her.Lastly the Earth Witch...*Sighs* she was...kind?Umm Well she was kind of strange,but she cared about everyone.

Alto:Can you train me?*Looks up excitedly.

Hilda:I can,but I won't.Dante and his partner are much better suited to handle that job than I am.

Lisette:OK.I have the last question!Hilda...do you know how to cook?

Alto:*facepalms*That's your last question?Why not something towards her past or even something about the harbingers?

Hilda:Alto,the question is valid.Yes,I can cook.I actually help cook for many people within Hildegardia,but it's nothing that I can brag about.I'm not the best cook.

Lisette:*turns to Dante*Well I guess now it's your turn.

Dante:Ugh!Whatever you brats can ask 5 questions.Girl gets 3,boy gets 2(Alto:HEY!!).Let's begin shall we*Rolls his eyes*.
