The door to the mayors office opened. "Welcome adventur- huh, sorry young mis, I was expecting a Member of the Adventurer guild. He should be here any moment, i am sure we can talk about your request later." the Mayor said and wanted to close the door. The Girl stopped him and grabbed a badge from her pocket.

"I know, the Guild sent me to check your Request." the girl said and showed him the badge. "I expected someone with a bit more expierence." the Mayor said, while looking at the badge. In that moment his secretary entered the Room. The Girl turned around, unfolded her Bow and pinned the secretary with an Arrow to the wall.

The Secretary looked where the Arrow entered her blouse. She looked at the collar opening for the button she left unbottoned. "Oh, does the young mis want her arrow back." She asked after regaining her composure. The girl quickly unpinned the secretary. "Yes and sorry for the shock." The Mayor looked at the girl. "That proves nothing." so she handed him the arrow. "okay, mister mayor. Here is an arrow." the said.

The Secrtary took the bow and arrow. "Not in this Lifetime. And you old geezer, stop she came here to help us, so be a bit more respectful." The Mayor apologized. "Okay, adventurer. As you have read in our job description. We want you to investigate and old castle, where an old witch lived long ago." The Girl turned around. "Then i better get going." she said and got stopped by the secretary. "Just a moment, what is your Name my dear?"

"Reina." the girl answered and walked out of the office. "Sure that we can just leave her." the Mayor said. The secretary grinned. "Even if she isn't coming back, thats the fault of the Guild." And with that they resumed their normal duties.

It took Reina to reach the old Castle. Looking around, she could see, that no one was here in a long time. She first walked around the Castle, checking for any Traps before entering. At first she just walked around, hoping to find any clues on that witch. With the wind did she hear a faint laughter. It took her a bit, till she could pin the direction down to the old basement.

With all her bodyweight did she throw herself against the door, till it opened. "Lumina" did she spell out and the room glowed up a bit. Looking around, she found swords and spears hanging on the walls of the Basement and multiple boxes. She opened some of them, but they were all empty. All she could say was that a few of them had holes in them. The Most she could count, where five holes. Two on one side and three on the other, where one of the holes was big enough for her head to fit through.

While walking and checking the boxes out, did she overlook the Large mirror and walked straight into it. The Hat balanced on the edge fell on the girls head. she took it of and fished out a fresh set of flowers and a card. "Welcome, my new toy." She read out loud and the door to the basement closed again.

She tried to run to it, but the opening of a box with five holes. the Box rolled in her way and she fell head first into it. Feeling a pair of gloves moving over her body and pushing it in place. "who is there?" Reina yelled into the darkness as her light got weaker. "Oh, ive had many Names young Adventurer. The Queen of the Night, the Shadow Queen, the ruler of Nightmares. But the people of this backwater village called me the black Queen.

"Back in the day, i could get the girls of the village to come here and let me play with them. But then an Adventurer like you showed up. He couldn't beat me, but he prevented me from getting close to any of the girls in the village." the voice came so much closer with each word, that Reina could already feel the breath on her face. "But now i have a new play thing." the queen costed every moment of missery, her helpless victim was in.

Reina listened close and noticed that the talking was just a distraction. Then the answer hit her, as the saw started cut into the box. "oh, you figured it already out." The Queen said amused and allowed the saw to be much quicker. Reina couldn't think of a response, before the saw started to scratch across her waist. She couldn't stop a moan as the saw, cut deeper and deeper.

Only her experience, helped her to keep a clear mind. She had dealt with enough witches, to know that she was already under a spell. Reina used that and slowly overrode the spell, to give her control. The Queen was busy tasting the dispair on the Maidens face, that she didn't register the change in Magic.

Once the saw finished did the Queen, push both halves away from each other and removed the boxes from her lower half first. Tickeling the defenless feet first, before returning to the upper box. Reina was glad, that the Ghost, that was teasing her, removed the boxes. Allowing her feet to get up. They quickly found her back and her backup bow and an Arrow.

While the Queen, took her time, teasing Reina, did she got her feet to aim an Arrow at the heart of the Ghost. A clear shot through it and the ghost vanished. She quickly broke out of the other Box as well. With her Main bow and three Arrows did she destroy the Mirror. Reina shortly felt, how the Magic was leaving her lower half. After a few seconds, did her own Magic compensate and she could move again.

She used a piece of cloth to tie her two halves back together. With that did she return to the Mayors office. "your witch problem, is gone now." she said with a smile. "oh honey." the secretary said as she saw the young girl. "Your body is off center." Reina looked down and noticed that the piece of Cloth she used to keep herself together moved. "Nothing to worry about. Its just a small scratch." she answered and leaned next to a wall, to realign herself.
