The Explorers of the Universe

The Witch Queen

Ozha, Viana, and Fairy Lotus arrive at the doorstep of the Witch Queen's house which is above ground, unlike other witches whose house is on a tree. The Witch Queen's house looked small and simple. Viana wondered why a Queen did not live in a castle or castle, but rather in an ordinary house like this.

Tuk, tuk tuk! Ozha knocked on the door.

Footsteps sounded approaching. The door was open. It was obvious that the Witch Queen in a red dress was standing behind the door. The Witch Queen stared at Ozha, Viana and the last Fairy Lotus.

“Enter Viana and Fairy Lotus. Thank you Witch Ozha, for taking them. Let them in,” said the Witch Queen.

“Good, Queen. Then I'll come back. See you later Viana, Lotus.” Ozha flies back to her house. Leaving Viana and Fairy Lotus in front of the door.

Viana did not protest Ozha's departure. He also felt that his presence had been known by the Queen because the Queen had known his name and the fairy who accompanied him.

The Witch Queen stepped into the house. Viana and Fairy Lotus looked at her, then entered following the Queen. After their legs and body entered the house, the door closed by itself. What struck Viana was the magic of the house. From the extraordinary looks and small, but in it is very broad, tall and magnificent. Hanging lamps, paintings of the Queen, and diamonds adorn the Queen's throne.

“Excellent!” Viana amazement. Fairy Lotus did not comment. He just followed wherever Viana was going.

The Queen was already sitting with her body upright on her throne. Viana stood before the Witch Queen accompanied by Fairy Lotus. He waited for the Queen to speak first.

“What are you looking for here?” ask Queen.

Getting such a question, Viana was at a loss as to what kind of answer. He only underwent the duties of the king of Luid to explore the dimensions and gain his power. Now he was in the Witch Dimension, but he didn't know what kind of power to look for in this dimension.

“I came for ..”

“I already know,” sod Queen. Make Viana instantly silent. “You came here to get strength, didn't you?”

Viana nodded.

“What power are you looking for?” ask Queen.

Viana shook her head. It was harder to answer than the previous question.

“Do not know? How can you come here but not know what you are looking for,” said the Queen. Viana doesn't know what to answer. He looked like a fool who had trouble thinking.

“Before there were some girls your age coming here to gain strength. And now they have what they want,” said the Queen at last.

“Then where did they go after getting strength?” ask Viana later.

“They didn't go. They live here. They have become part of us. They had become magicians in the Witch Dimension. And they're happy to be here. There's nothing to be afraid of here. With magic you can create all your happiness without any effort. And this place is enough to accommodate all the things that people want, anything,” The queen explained.

Viana nodded. He thought, maybe the power he should get here is the power of a witch. “How do I get that power?” just ask Viana.

The Queen smiled. “So you want to be a witch?” tanyakanya.

Viana hesitated to nod, also hesitating to shake her head.

“If you want to be a witch, you have to go through the ritual. And you must be ready to live life as a witch here after,” said the Queen conveyed the rules of the game.

“Living life as a witch? Does that mean I have to join the wedding party if I become a witch?” Viana wondered inwardly.

“How are you doing?” ask the Queen.

Viana weighing. He needed that power to save his country, that was his only goal. Not for his happiness and satisfaction. Viana seeks reason to gain strength while simultaneously going from the life of this witch. There was an idea in his head to become a witch, after which he left this dimension using his magic power. Wasn't it with that magic power that he could realize his dream?

“How long is the ritual to become a witch?” ask Viana later.

The queen smiled again. “Latest five days,” answer.

Viana nodded. He glanced at Fairy Lotus to get some input. Fairy Lotus answered nothing. He will always follow his boss's decision.

“By Viana?” ask the Queen again. His finger tapped on the wooden throne sign waiting for an answer.

It was hard for Viana, but she finally replied, “I'm willing to be a witch.”

The Queen smiled again. He then stood up. He raised his hand, then Viana floated up following the Queen's hand movements.

Viana approached the Queen. The Queen clasped Viana's wrist. The Queen tries to figure out the power Viana has before conferring her into a witch. “The ability to manipulate the power of plants,” said The Queen. “A unique type of strength, but weak. I can make you stronger than this!” continued.

The Queen sent Viana down. Viana felt the power so fierce that the Queen possessed. The aura was strong and different from the people he had met. It felt even more pressing than King Luid's aura.

“Alright, we'll start the ritual tonight. Now you can return to the place of the Witch Ozha,” said the Queen. At the same time, the exit was open.

They also stepped out of the Queen's house, possibly the Queen's kingdom. Then they flew towards Ozha's house.

Ozha received them with joy. “What do you get there?” ask Ozha to Viana. Ozha.

“I will follow the ritual of becoming a witch,” Viana said in unconvinced words.

Out of the blue Ozha heard it. “What? You're gonna be a witch? Really?”

“Iya. From tonight I will follow the ritual,” replied Viana.

“Wah, I'm happy to hear that. Once you become a witch, you will stay here forever. I can have new friends!” ozha said with a burning spirit.

Hearing that made Viana look for a sentence to ask how to get out of this place, but without making Ozha's suspicion that he planned to escape leaving this dimension.

“Mmm, if you may know, has anyone ever left this place?” ask Viana.

“What did you say, leave this place?”

Viana clumsily got her question repeated. Did the Witch Ozha capture any other intent to that question? Viana was a little worried.

“Yes no!” ozha said at last.

Viana relaxed her tension.

“After becoming a witch, you can get anything you want here. Delicious food, healing from pain, every year there is a mating season, anyway very happy!”

Hearing the word mating season makes Viana sick to have to imagine a mass wedding without any marriage and bonding. But at the same time arouse his curiosity to ask.

“Are you not pregnant and giving birth after that love party? Mm, I mean the wedding season party.”

“Given? Witches cannot give birth. We don't know what childbirth is,” Ozha replied.

“Then how do you add offspring, add jumblah witch?”

“We live hundreds or even thousands of years. We feel there is no need for a successor. To increase the number, in a hundred years there are only five to ten people who are lost like you, or indeed deliberately come here to gain strength. And that is enough to increase our numbers,” Ozha said.

“So, there are a lot of people who come in like me and don't come back?” Viana's getting fired up.

“Maybe they forgot where to go home or where they came from. So they bless staying here,” Ozha said.

Viana nodded. There are still a lot of questions hanging in his head.

In between the pause of the chat, Fairy Lotus actually asked a question. “Has there ever been a girl named Rinn who came here?”

“Rinn? I know there is none. Why?” ask Ozha.

Fairy Lotus shook her head. “No. There is nothing.” But in his mind he thought where Elf Rinn would go if he did not go to this Dimension of Witches? Didn't Rinn go to this dimension? Did Rinn get lost to another dimension? Those questions hung on the head of the Lotus Fairy.

“You why so daydream, Lotus,” scold Viana.

Fairy Lotus was awakened from her daydream. He grinned in order to cover up what his questions were.

“Then I want to rest first before starting the ritual tonight,” by Viana.

“Please, you can sleep in my bed,” Ozha said with a cheerful smile.

Viana lay on that cloud bed again. But before he fell asleep, he remembered one question he wanted to ask Ozha. “How can the Witch Queen know my name and Fairy Lotus?” ask Ozha.

“Oh, for that matter. When the Witch Queen opened the door and we looked at each other, that way I conveyed your name and your purpose in coming here through the view,” Ozha said flatly as if telling a simple thing.

“Telepathy. Incredible,” said Viana Lirih.
