Now before I begin I do have to let you know that the witch queen does not have an actual name,so by the end of the witch forest arc I'd like you all to comment a name here and I'll pick the most fitting name.
And with that onto the chapter!!

(Venessa pov)
(Black bull base,last night)
"Asta's arms…they'll never get better!"
It was during the barbecue that I heard what had happened to asta's arm during the fight with vetto. It turned out that he casted ancient hex magic that would turn asta's bones to powder and it made me feel bad for my adorable junior.
'Well luckily I know someone who could fix him,but will she let me leave afterwards' I think to myself as I get faint memories of before I met with my captain.
'No that's in the past,I should forget about it.' I think to myself as everyone says we'll go out and find a cure.
Soon after we all went inside I sleep in the lobby without any drinking,I couldn't let myself drink because if I do I'll forget what I'm setting out to do.
(9 hours later)
It was early and everyone was still asleep or just now getting up,I myself was one of the latter.
"Alright…it's time to head back home."
*chirp*
I turn my head and see Nero with a rolled up paper in her mouth looking right at me as I was getting ready.
"Is that paper for me?" I ask receiving a nod before opening her mouth and dropping the letter in front of me.
I open the paper and read its contents and after a minute I flew through the door and get on my broom and ride it faster than I ever had done before.
(On the letter)
To my squad mates.
I heard about what happened to asta's arms and about the ancient hex magic placed on them. My healing magic isn't strong enough to fix him,but I know of someone who can.
Deep within the forest on the border of the diamond and clover kingdom lives a society of witches and in the biggest tree lives the witch queen.
I'm hoping I can convince her to lend a hand in his healing,and I'll be back soon.
-alucard.
(End of letter)
"ALUCARD YOU VAMPIRIC IDIOT!!!"was heard throughout the surrounding villages near the black bulls base that morning.
(A/N: she knows alucard is a vampire due to her mother teaching her about the races of the world when she was younger.)
————————————————————
(Alucard pov)
I was led to a room inside the biggest tree in the forest,but for some reason I wasn't tied up.
"Strange…I thought they would at least tie me up or restrain me with something,not lead me to this room and tell me to sit." I say to absolutely nobody.
*creeak*
I hear the creaking of a door opening on the right ride of where I was facing and a pale woman in a black nightgown was walking toward the throne on the other side of where I was sitting.
As she sat down making sure she was comfortable she turned her gaze towards me before clearing her throat to speak.
"So you know…normally when a man enters my territory they are killed on the spot,but considering my mood I'll have you a chance to speak so I'll ask." She says before I feel a pressure on my body from the mana she was releasing.
"Why are you here?"(witch queen)
"I have reasons to believe you're my grandmother."
*brrrrmmmmmbllle*[mana pressure sound effect]
Suddenly the pressure increased ten fold as I look up to see the witch queen look at me seething in a plethora of emotions,the most prominent being rage,disgust,disbelief and…sadness?
"Not possible,I saw my daughter,son-in-law and grandson die,so you better take back what you said or I'll turn you into a blood puddle!!" She shouted as the seething rage took over the other emotions.
"…what if your grandson was never killed but taken from you?" I ask her as I see her freeze up for a split second and the pressure easing up a bit before I continued.
"They say that blood is thicker than water…so would this suffice for enough proof?" I say to her as I form a sphere of blood out of my open palm before making it take shap and commanding it to crystallize forming a crimson dagger,all right in front of her eyes.
I felt the pressure ease up to allow me to stand up,but my body still felt heavy,and after I get up the witch queen spoke.
"Having blood magic doesn't give enough proof that you are who you say…but I got an idea on how to determine your claim." She says as I see a grimoire open and a bunch of blood chains surround me all poised to attack to kill as a podium appeared in front of me.
'Damn these chains remind me of enkidu from the nasuverse…I really should try making my own version of enkidu.' I think to myself as I see something form on top of the podium.
On the podium was a cracked crystal ball that was blood red in color.
"This is my spell (chains of familial bonds),in the center of the crystal ball is the blood of my deceased daughter. All you have to do is place your blood onto the ball,and if it shatters the chains will attack and kill you,they won't harm those who hold my blood,so if you are my grandson the chains will turn away from you." She explains as I walk closer to the crystal ball.
'So I need to put my blood onto the ball? Well here goes.' I think to myself as I grab the dagger I made earlier and stab my hand head enough to pierce through.
*drip* *drip*
The sound of my blood falling onto the floor was heard through the silence as I put my wounded hand onto the ball and letting the blood flow into the ball.
After a few minutes the chains turn themselves away from me and disappear.
'Huh…well that was anticlimactic,I was expecting a fight.' I think to myself as I look over to the witch queen,and I froze.
I could see absolute shock appear on her face,and after a few seconds tears start flowing down her face as she gets up from her throne as she walks towards me.
It was when she was only a foot away from me did she pull me into a hug. I could hear her crying as I hear her speak,"you really weren't lying…you really came home."
*boom*
Suddenly the door exploded open and I see Venessa walk in.
"Mother please don't hurt alu-" she began to say before freezing up at the sight of her mother crying while hugging me.
"Oh hey Venessa! Get this,it turns out you're my aunt!" I say to her while attempting to wave.
"…what."(Venessa)
"Yeah it turns out that you had an older sister and I'm her son,making you my aunt while your mother is my grandmother." I explain to her.
"…EEEEEEEEEEEEHHH?!!!"(venessa)
And it was on that day that the witch queen became more warm towards males as a whole,and trade routes opened up for the clover kingdom and the witch forest a month after alucard and Venessa left,but that's a story for another time.
————————————————————
Well folks I couldn't exactly remember how I wrote it so I decided to take it as an opportunity to try and improve on it,adding the possibility to have alucard make his own enkidu.
But besides that I wish for you the viewers to comment on possible names for the witch queen so I don't have to keep calling her witch queen,and I'll pick the one I feel is the most fitting.
(Insert possible name here)
But with that thank you all for waiting and I hope this improves chapter is to your liking like it was mine,and with that I'll see you next week.
Peace😁✌️
