the witch finds this metal building..she pours a green vial on the knob and it melts off. As she slips inside..she sees it's the kingdom food storage. She looks at Everything and takes a bottle of purple liquid.
".. do your work..lovely Belladonna..."
The liquids misty haze travels from the bottle and seeps into different food crates. She then seals the bottle and slips out unnoticed.
the witch returned to their food supply a few days later and looked amongst the wine selection...she black clawed hands tapping each dusty bottle.
A servant named Roo happened to see her. He quietly walked up to the lady.
"what might you be doing here"
the witch..still reading labels...said in a eerily calm voice..as if she expected a visitor.
".. why just looking for a special wine my dear Roo...what by Lucifers light..bring you here..? "
".. Hm oh well all those are very expensive and you can't just walk out with them" he replied back.
the witch put the bottle in her voluminous robes and turned to look at the window behind her..her head covered..Pox flutters in and sets on her
shoulder*
".. tell me Roo... What's your place in this kingdom..a royal I suppose..? "
"me a royal, no far from it. I am however a servant.." Roo says to the witch.
The witch asks him:
"..ever dream of a better station then a servant sweet Roo...? "
Roo took a minute..then answers her.
"I worked my way up from a no one to a servant, and I will keep working my way up until i get the respect my family deserves. Now what are you trying to convince me of.."
She huffs almost in a laughing way
"... not convince..just..a simple offer..."
The witch reveals another vial..this one filled with a raspberry pink fluid with pearls at the bottom
"...all I ask is you do a simple task for me..succeed..and your reward will be a.. handsome one...."
Unsure of the contents of the vial, the servant asks her:
"This isn't a poison is it"
. ".. oh no my sweet roo...it's something more..." The witch replied in a creepily sweet voice.
"then what is it, and what would the reward be" he demanded of her.
The witch tilts her head.
"... let's say ..the liquid will extract what I need..as for the reward..your deepest desire shall be fulfilled.."
"I want information, if you can put me in contact with someone who knows forgotten martial arts then I will do it"
The servant counter offers the witch.
The witch contemplating her choice and how to decieve him...answers:
"... if that's your desire..then it shall be done.."
" then consider it done"
He nods certainly towards her.
"... do not fail me Roo..."
At this she tossed him the vial and then blew a black haze and disappeared.
He caught the vial storing it in a bag then took his leave after relocking the storage.
Mikki wanders the castle halls... looking for a sign of anyone. Roo then walked into the grand hall
"hello" he says to Mikki.
mikki sees roo and nods
"Hello Roo...I was wondering if you could help me get something to snack on? I'm a bit lost here...I never fully learned the castle layout."
"oh, simple would you like some tea or something to go along with your food" the servant asks.
mikki nods as she follows him to eat
"Tea sounds nice..thanks Roo"
"No problem it'll be right up" he quickly gets her a sandwich and brews some tea pouring the vial in with the leaves.
mikki set at the dinning room table and awaits the food.
he brings them back to the table to her.
"here you go, it's a new blend of tea so it may taste a little off"
"Ahh ok..I'm always up to try new teas...I remember my first draconian tea...very pungent stuff..but good...thanks."
She ate the sandwich first...then sniffs her hot tea
"Ooo..I can tell it's a fruity type..I wonder what kind..?"
She blows it then drinks it all.
Roo smiles and leaves the room.
mikki smiled as she enjoyed the tea..but that smile faded and the crash of a dropped teacup was heard...she looked at her hands to see her draconian spirit flowing away from her...it flows out the nearby window and leaves her shell of a body lifeless and slumped on the floor
