That day when Christopher 'died' was a pretty normal, sunny day.
In one of New York's streets on Earth, Mark, Christopher's father was repairing something around his house while his wife Maria, Christopher's mother was making lunch in the kitchen inside their love nest.
Everything felt so peaceful. Birds were singing, the warm sun on the cloudless blue sky was embracing everything in its rays, and people in the town of New York were pretty happy on this beautiful, peaceful day.
Even those who had a very bad week in their work were suddenly happy, mainly when they walked past Christopher's home.
Thanks to Maria being the white witch of Earth, people suddenly felt like they had a special touch with nature when they walked by.
This connection was today even more intense because today was supposed to be the best day of the year for Maria.
This is the day when Christopher was born, the sweet fruit of Maria's and Mark's love.
If you would walked inside the kitchen where Maria now was, your body and soul would be instantly filled with happiness and peace. That was the effect of the Earth's strongest white witch.
Near the sink, Maria was now cleaning vegetables for Mark's favorite meal while she was humming a birthday song and thinking about her beloved son.
Her body was releasing a white aura with greenish tones and she was dressed in her favorite outfit.
It was a pair of white dresses covered with flowers with a white belt around her waist.
On her back were two beautiful bows and her hair was tied into a ponytail, leaving a few curly strains of her hair sliding down her cheeks.
She looked extremely happy and beautiful.
At the same moment, Christopher was dying in one of Redwilnet's dark alleys and everything in his home on Earth suddenly went to shit.
"Aah!" shouted Maria in pain as a bowl of hot soup she ran to quickly pick from her stove because it was boiling too much, fell on the ground and shattered all around the kitchen's floor and walls while three powerful blasts of blood-red energy exploded from her heart and flew through her body, smashing against the walls of her kitchen.
Immediately, the soup on the ground moved, forming dark magic circles, and when they all connected into a large one, the pain, and power Maria unconsciously put inside each of them exploded and destroyed the entire kitchen even more, something like a few C4 bombs exploding together would do.
Sensing his wife's painful and murderous energy all around the house while hearing her screams, Mark immediately stopped working in the garage and ran into his house as the black watch on his left hand transformed into a gun that looked like it came from the future.
Mark flew through the main door and rolled into the kitchen that was nearby, ready to shoot everyone who hurt his wife.
Like father, like son. Possessive and overprotective over their loved ones.
Seeing only his wife standing in the middle of the destroyed kitchen which was painted with magical energy and soup he and Christopher liked, he transformed his gun back to the appearance of the watches and hugged Maria from her left side.
"What happened my dear?" he asked in the most gentle tone he could muster while caressing Maria's face with both hands.
"Christopher, h-he's dead! MY SON DIED!" Maria spoke and shouted between tears and sobs as another amount of red, murderous energy exploded from her body but surprisingly, it didn't hurt Mark's body or soul. The energy just flew through him like he wasn't even there.
"What?! That can't be true..." Mark spoke and started focusing on the bond he had with his son.
This bond was made by Maria to protect and help to find Christopher if he disappears somewhere one day because of his parent's past. After all, Mark is a secret agent and Maria is the white witch of Earth.
They had enemies everywhere in both the supernatural and normal world.
Back to the main subject, after some time Mark forgot about his bond with his son but Maria checked this connection every day when Christopher was not home. Even if he was in school... *Cough, pretty overprotective mother.
It was her routine and after Christopher became a vampire, Maria started focusing on it more and more from the fear that one day, Christopher might die.
But now, the connection was lost, they couldn't feel anything and the day she feared the most came sooner than she thought it would.
For Maria who was the maker of this bond and used her life force to make it and repair it every day, it felt like a piece of her heart was forcefully ripped out from her body. It was extremely painful.
"I never thought I would feel this pain again," Maria spoke trembling, while she tried to calm herself a bit.
She already made this type of connection with her younger sister, who died in a war the witches had between themselves in the past. That day, Maria left the city of witches and went into the human world where she found Mark, a special secret agent who became her obsession and later, her husband.
But, what surprised her was that Mark didn't fear her even if he was just a human. He fell in love with her immediately, not for her powers but for who she was. Everyone was afraid of her because, in the supernatural world, she was an ace—one of the strongest dark witches.
Later, they started working together and were defeating one supernatural race after another which helped Maria to abandon her dark side and embrace the light buried inside her. They were the ones who cleared Earth from Vampires, Werewolves, and other beings, pushing them back into their Supernatural dimensions.
When they later married together, they stopped fighting and Maria left the dark path of her powers forever which started becoming uncontrollably strong.
She used special magic to seal the demonic version of herself, becoming a white witch of Earth as she promised to protect the Earth only from the worst threats which were her sisters.
On the other side, Mark started losing his strength with time and later, he retired becoming a backup agent. Even if he lived with now white witch which helped his body to slow the age process relatively well, still, he is human and he can't stop the circle of nature even when he is not entirely like other humans.
But now, everything Maria buried inside and held for all those years, all the pain for her sister, all those dark possessive thoughts about her husband and later even her son, and now the pain from her loss mixed and came back...
Looking at his wife with a serious gaze, Mark asked.
"Are you sure about this? I mean, he is married to one of the daughters of Elizabeth Báthory not to mention he is a host for that shitty darkness parasite."
"He should be probably untouchable right? And that's just a start..." Mark spoke to ensure his wife that she could be wrong.
"I'm sure! I need to find out what happened... That person is going to die in my hands!" Maria spoke the last sentence with so much hate that her eye color started changing from green to red which was her original eye color from the dark times.
"I love you, my dear," she spoke after a few seconds of thinking as her hair started defying gravity, her body started levitating and her casual clothes turned into an emerald-green robe.
"Maria... please don't do it. The last time you did this, you were missing for three years! I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS! And then, you were recovering from a coma another two!"
"I don't want to lose you, not again. Remember what they said to you the last time you went to meet them..."
"Sorry darling, but I need to go back. He's our only son and right now, only my past can help me..." she said, then, her body started releasing a red aura and in the next second, she disappeared into a beam of red light.
"Hah well shit! ... And I thought I would finally enjoy my vacation... Fuck!" was all Mark spoke before he slowly headed upstairs and locked himself in Christopher's bedroom from which he called an unknown number with his upgraded phone.
"Hello?" a female robotic voice escaped from Mark's phone.
"Hi Jessie, I need that report you took from Word's servers yesterday... you remember?" Mark spoke.
"You mean... that report about your son and that... that thing? But you said it should disappear forever..." Jessie spoke with caution.
"Yes I said that, but I need to look into it for a minute. My son's soul is probably trapped somewhere and I need to know where before it's too late and universe as we know it would be hidden in darkness forever."
"Ohhh, uhhh, y-yes of course boss. May I know what happened?"
"Later... I need some time for myself plus... I think I'm being watched..." Mark spoke as he looked through his son's bedroom window and found two black SUVs parked near his house.
'Idiots... they think they are invisible or what?' he thought with a hint of amusement.
"Ouu... I-I understand... I'm sorry, I-I'm sending the report..." Jessie's voice woke Mark from his stupor.
"Thank you, Jessie."
"It's nothing boss, but... What would happen when you find the person who is behind all this?"
"You know that your son is not the only one who they are watching. I saw few reports about other vampires mainly females who are connected with your son, werewolves, dragons, and..."
"... Spirits?"
"Yes, Boss..."
"...You already know what is going to happen when someone is targeting my family... It's not the first time this happened," Mark spoke with a cold voice as the window in his son's bedroom started being covered in a thin layer of weird red ice.
"Yes, I know... alright then... be safe boss. You are owning me a cup of hot coffee from Starparadise."
"You too Jessie... you too hahahahaha... I'll talk to you later," Mark spoke and ended the call with a smile on his face.
But, the smile he made when he said bye to Jessie immediately disappeared and turned into a murderous grin.
The next second, a message was on Mark's phone as he sat on Christopher's old bed which was finally repaired now, opened the report and changed his expression into a normal one again.
"Well, well, well... What do we have here?" Spoke Mark, but with a little creepy voice.
"A report about my son found in the servers of The Word Laboratories," he spoke with his usual voice.
"Interesting... What do they want from our son?" asked Mark's creepier voice.
"I don't know yet, but let's see who this piece of shit is first and then, what he wants from my son..." spoke Mark with a less creepier voice again like he talked to someone and started reading the report on his phone as a group of armored soldiers suddenly left the two SUVs and started running into his house, not knowing that Mark already contacted his good old friend.
"..."
[... Armandia, The magic dimension of Enurie ...]
[... The witch queen's tree ...]
"Hello Maria, it was a long time since we saw each other..." spoke a woman sitting on a throne fully made from tree branches. She wore a dark purple robe, similar to that Maria wore but the difference was in color and openings on each side of her beautiful legs that would attract every thirsty male who would see her.
"Hi @!?<+(/..." spoke Maria who appeared in front of the woman and walked from a big red magic sphere with her eyes narrowed.
"Why I can't speak your name?" she asked.
"Because you are not Armandia witch anymore, we changed our language a little. How dare you show your ass here again?"
"You left our tree a long time ago, became a clandestine witch, and for what? To then marry a primitive human male who works as a secret agent and have a son with him who was recognized and chosen by The Darkness itself to throw the universe back into the dark times?!"
"Oh, but wait a minute. Your son... hmmm, that boy is already dead... right?" the Witch Queen smiled.
"I saw the murder performed by one of my subordinates... Oh, what a waste... hahahahaha but!" the Witch Queen sharpened her gaze at Maria.
"Business is business and we did what we needed to do to save our universe and empower our race!"
"You should be proud that you are from a race that saved an entire universe hahahahaha..." The Witch Queen started laughing on the throne as dozens of purple magic circles started forming all around the throne room.
"Stop laughing and tell me what happened! WHY DID YOU KILL MY SON YOU BITCH! I know you had side reasons, you always have them!" Maria raised her voice as a red magic energy started gathering inside her veins.
She found it weird that the Witch Queen knew something about the Darkness and its plans and possession but she ignored it for now.
Knowing what happened and why her son died was the top priority for her.
"Fine, I can tell you what happened if you become our rook again... It's a pretty good deal don't you think? Your spot on our chessboard formation is still free." The Witch Queen spoke with a mischievous smile, adding:
"No one had enough power to maintain your position for too long."
Watching Maria, the Witch Queen crossed her legs sensually. She looked stunning.
"Never!" Maria shouted as her eyes turned blood red and a pair of sharp claws formed from her nails.
"Oh my dear, but you don't have a choice." The Witch Queen smiled as the magic circles around Maria started glowing more, forming a few portals that started rotating on their edges.
"Greeting sister," spoke a few different voices together from the portals as various-looking women started emerging out of them.
"It was a long time," spoke one of them with a slight smile, her voice sweet as candy, wearing a purple dress with an opening on her left side, showing her thigh enveloped in a black leather choker with a dagger hidden in a sheet hanging from it.
Next, she had black leather armor plates around her wrists and shoulders connecting to her neck, forming an elegant collar while her hands and eyes glowed with purple energy.
"Ravena..." spoke Maria as her hands started glowing red, she clearly recognized the woman.
"Oh, I'm glad you still have your old power. The green-colored shit didn't match your style my dear~" spoke Ravena sensually as she licked her lips while looking at Maria's hands that started charging the red energy even more.
"But, is it still as good as before? Or did you become a lazy bitch!" She added strictly as she spun her body perfectly and shot twenty purple balls of her purple energy at Maria.
Maria tried to block them by forming a thick red barrier in front of her but the purple energy balls flew through it like the barrier didn't even exist.
"What? How did you..." Maria's shocked expression formed a wide smile on Ravena's face.
Being hit by one of them in her stomach, Maria fell on her knees and started coughing up blood on the checked floor which looked like a chessboard.
"Ohhh I was right, you softened and became a lazy bitch! Your husband's tool must be really good~" spoke Ravena as she started slowly approaching Maria with elegant steps, swaying her hips and ass sensualy from side to side.
"I'm looking forward to making him my personal toy hahaha, raping him from sunrise to sunset~" Ravena spoke with lust and formed two purple swords in her hands covered in purple dragon flames.
"Stop imagining my husband and tell me how you managed to penetrate my barrier!" Maria spoke in rage as two red, almost transparent wings formed on her back while she looked at Ravena who was still smiling widely.
No one can imagine her husband like that!
NO ONE!
"Easly... we found better, stronger energy to consume and use," Ravena spoke as she let one of her swords disappear and inspected her hand, enveloped in blazing purple dragon flames, closely.
"Light is pretty weak, dark from hell is stronger you already know it, but Darkness itself, the very cosmic Darkness is much more than those two concepts mixed together!"
"And your handsome son knew that too," Ravena added as Maria's eyes became lifeless.
First, imagining her husband and now even her son?
She will pay for it, but before Maria could do something, Ravena spoke again.
"Sadly, he was too slow to use it before he died like a pathetic loser."
Hearing this, Maria was almost at her boiling point.
"Well to answer you correctly, we are not the light or dark users anymore... sister" Ravena spoke the last word with disgust as she then started running at Maria who was still kneeling on the ground filled with rage and half-answers, while her wings made from pure red energy on her back started releasing murderous aura.
When Ravena was almost in front of Maria, she jumped into the air and started levitating a few meters above the ground.
Pointing the blade of her sword in her right hand at Maria, she was ready to kill her.
