Erika looked out the Window of her Bedroom and watched the City wake up, before she had to do the same. Normally this would have been her free day, but she knew all to well, that Fate rarley followed a schedule. So she got herself dressed and decided to go out. Looking at the time, she was certain that she was save for the next few hours. Leaving her to wonder, who would be the one to stumble into her Office asking for the favor of a Witch.

She loved called herself one, despite the lack of admiration the People around her had. Then again it was her fault to ever grant that child the ability to use her Magic. She took a deep breath and let those emotions out. The Child did its best, after the hand she dealt it on accident. Thinking about that now young Man, who went off to travel the world did she end up in the park in the center of the City.

It was quite a lovely place, but the spots filled with loving couples weren't what caught her interst. Needing a double take, did she get closer. There really was a Magician performing on Stage. Well, he gave it his best shot. Only to fail at every card trick and accidentaly freeing his animal companions from their hiding spots before it was time.

All harmles accidents, that the crowd and Erika could laugh about. Thats when she noticed a change in the young Magicians face. Erika had seen it often enough, the face of a boy that was about to do something stupid. Meaning she couldn't just leave anymore, she couldn't even finish the thought as he jumped of the Stage and landed in front of a young Girl.

From the Outside, it looked like she was just a planted assistant. Erika had to surpress a giggle. The poor Girl was being put on the Spot, while the Audience wasn't willing to belive that she truly wasn't his Assistant. With the help of two Men from the Audience did they got the girl on the Stage. "Now lets hope my bad luck ends here." the Magician said and guided the girl that gave up on her escape to a box.

She wasn't feeling to well inside, as her shoulders touched both walls and her hair touched the top of the box, if she stood up straight. The Magician quickly closed the upper door and went down. Leaving his Victim in the Box. Erika used a little spell to check, what that little Magician was planning with that poor girl.

She watched him pick up a sword and align it with the stomach of the girl. Leaving her no way of dodging it. As the seasoned Witch noted, that neither the box nor the sword was enchanted with a protection spell, did she step in and cast one on the girls body. Just in time, as the Sword moved through her body.

A paniced Scream exited the box, to the amusement of the crowd. Taking the girls silence during the insertion of the next 10 blades as her, giving up the role of a paniced damsel. Erika was glad, that she managed to protect that poor girl. Still she wondered, how he wanted to explain, the injuries of the young Lady.

Only as the door opened, did a short flash of dark magic fill the box. Thankfully, Erikas magic wasn't so easily broken and she could keep the darkness at bay. For a second did the Magician loss his smile, as he realized that he was still looking at the girl he put in the box and not the Monster, that should have stepped out in her Form.

Surprised by her own well being, did the young girl let herself be talked into another trick. Soon, the Magician rolled a table on the Stage, with a box that barely covered the girls torso. Once she stepped into the box  and laid down. Erika wondered, if it was really worth the effort. Only to feel the dark magic rise as the Magician sawed his lovely victim in half. Erika hat to admit, that whatever was trying to consume the girl was stronger than she expected.

With a quick spell, did the curtains of the Stage fall, onto the two halves of the box. As the Magician pulled the Curtain back, did the Audience watch, as two empty boxes got revealed. Leaving him to wonder, how he should explain the loss of the girl. With that, did Erika set an end to the Magician and let him dissapear in a cloud of smoke. Hoping, he wouldn't find his way back.

Erika tickled on of the feet laying on her lap. The girl started to laugh and woke up. She felt strangly foggy till she looked down her body. She started to touch the end of her stomach, where her hips used to begin. Erika pinched the girls foot and she stopped and looked around. "What are you doing with my Legs?" she sheepishly asked.

Standing up, Erika handed the Legs back to her guest. "Lets call it a payment. Or should i have let that Lunatic stab you to death?" she asked with a grim look. "Death?" the girl asked and checked the places where she was certain the bladed pierced her. "Don't worry, i know my craft. I made sure that you are save. Just don't let yourself be pulled into something like that in the future." Erika said with a smile and helped the girl reconnect her Legs to the rest of her body.

Once the girl regained her balance did she look at the Witch and held eye contact. "Could you please teach me your Craft?" she asked, trying to look reserved. Erika hugged the girl. "I saved you already and don't want to have to do it again." she said. The girl wasn't sure, if that was a yes or not. Till Erika summoned a witches hat and placed it on her new Student.
