A girl who was brought to a school after her magickal aptitude was discovered.

In the great hall where other children of similar circumstances gather, she meets people she would soon come to call her best friends.

And in this strange place so far from home, she begins her life of training.

Fabled Witch

Bondage

To bind one and steal their freedom.

The girl tilts her head as she gazes at the grim letters. It is a painful, distressing, abominable word. But she still doesn't understand, for she receives it daily. These things protect her daily. And occasionally, the word feels...sweet.

She struggles the dictionary closed, places it back on the shelf, and leaves the room. When next she opens this book — after she has grown a touch — what impression will she get from the word?

Phantasmal Witch

Phantasmal Witch

The girl has absolute confidence in her abilities.
Children look to her with awe, trying to curry her favor.
Adults bow their heads, hoping she might help them.

Though she knows not the depths of her latent power, she keeps honing her skills, confident she can reach ever greater heights.

"Tch. You're just going to get hurt one day."

She brushes off such heartless words and sore attitudes with a smile. But hiding behind that confidence and power is an almost impossible loneliness.

Abyssal Witch

Abyssal Witch

"All I wanted was to be with my two friends."
Maybe it was me who destroyed that future.
"I thought we'd be together forever."
But I only ever cared about my own feelings.
"I just wanted to live in peace and harmony."
Like the hero in the story...

Festive Witch

For me, it must be "obtaining power." I rather enjoy dominating others with power, so I will work as hard as I can to do so! More importantly, with power, I can protect those precious to me.

Celebratory Witch

Celebratory Witch

Well, I guess that'd be "time with my friends"?

Like when me and him were joking with each other and she started giggling? I only realized how important those insignificant moments were after they were gone.

Sa14:3 - Reverie's Guardian

Gaze upon the magnificent weave of the night. Though night is home to all shades of darkness, tonight I have created for you a robe of the deepest black. Have you the courage to don it? Are you prepared for the trial of keeping your sense of self beneath its folds of dark? With your conviction, the weave of night will permit your soul to shine as brightly as it ought to.

Yuletide Witch

Yuletide Witch

"I made star-shaped cookies!"
"Everyone likes cookies."
"I made tons, so everyone can have come."
"...Hm? You're wondering what these bags are?"
"Those are special — they're for my best friends."
"They're matching socks. I knitted them myself."
"It's going to get a lot colder, you know."
"Do you think...they'll like them?"

Summer Witch

Summer Witch

Witch: Yeah, I think I'm showing too much skin.
She stands before the mirror, studying her swimsuit.
Witch: Ugh. I'm really embarrassed now.
She uses her hat to hide her stomach.
Best Friend (M): Hey! Are you done changing yet!?
Best Friend (F): Hurry up, or we're leaving you behind!
Rushed voices come from outside.
Witch: Wait! I'm coming!
She hurriedly throws a cardigan over her shoulders and leaves. Forgetting her embarrassment, she rushes to the beach with a smile.

Bloody Witch

Bloody Witch

Spirits of this land, gather at my power.
In the name of our dark contract, show yourselves.
What are you? Who is your father?
Who is your mother? Where is your god?
O bonds, change form as you answer my challenges.
In the name of our crimson contract, become my kin.

Become my eyes. My nose. My ears.
Now you must follow in the target's steps.
I tell you now, the target's name is...

Abstract Witch

Abstract Witch

I sit and watch the stars.

They shine with different colors. Different brightnesses.
They glow in different spots.

If one were to disappear, most people wouldn't notice.
They'd only notice if the brightest star disappeared.

Three stars sit against the wintery sky in a triangle.
In reality, they are so, so far away from each other.
If one were to disappear, would the other stars notice?

[ ​Apprentice Witch's Staff​ ]

Long has the magickal academy stood in this spot, and it is here where two girls and a boy form a small, comfortable circle that allows each to sooth the loneliness of the other.
───────────────
Time passes, and the three become best friends. But with the school's traditional Day of Pledging looming, none are able to express their feelings, and they cause each other great pain.
───────────────
A calm settles over the city after the festival. The three finally muster their courage and tell the others how they feel, but this causes bonds to helplessly tangle, and they soon drift apart.
───────────────
The Day of Pledging arrives — the day where two people each swear themselves to the other. But the boy's death and her friend's disappearance plunges the girl's heart into the depths of despair.
