《That Time I Fell From The Sky》Chapter 4: The Witch Hunt
Advertisement
“Sir, the men are ready,” says the head mage.
Renol nods and says, “come men, let’s hunt her down and if you find her do not hesitate to attack her or else you will die.” He looks down for a moment in cold silence, “…and remember don’t attack her alone but in groups, alone you don’t stand a chance.” The tension among the men carries an undoubted fear of the witch and Renol is assured that none of them will be stupid enough to risk their lives to test how powerful she is. He mounts his horse and they head off to the roads to her last known location.

Roz watches Renol take off with the mages through a small opening in a thick bush right outside the prison. “uh… ok, they are gone,” he turns back and squats next to Murler and stares at her friend’s jiggly breasts. He smiles. “So, remind me again why you two want to go back into the prison,” he asks them.
“My staff,” says Murler and she gives him a cold suspicious look.
“And you are willing to get caught with her, why?” he asks her jiggly friend and takes his time to stare at her ample breasts.
“We won’t get captured,” Murler snaps, “and you don’t have to worry about us either.”
“Okay…,” Roz backs off with the questions raising his hands in surrender as he does so and he notices the chains and shackles tied around his tiny hands that the guards had placed on him a while back before he escaped and he pulls on them. They snap and fall off. “Weird that I didn’t notice these earlier.”
“Hey Witch,” says Murler, “thank you for getting us out of the mess YOU made but we don’t need you with us, you’re obviously bad luck and also why are YOU going back there?” She glares at him with the most irritated look ever and spares no vile intent towards him in every word she says. She’s clearly suspicious of him and like everybody else she has no idea that the girl she’s talking to is actually a man trapped inside the body of a woman.
“I left my staff as well, apparently it is very important,” as he says this the two girls look at him like he is some idiot noob who has no idea how magic works.
“You can’t be serious,” says Murler and she says it with as much disdain in her eyes as she can master, “I guess the whole world must seem like a joke to you, great witch”

“Hey, like I said (when we met) I am new to this world-, “ Rayer stops him before he says more.
“Roz,” says Rayer, ”no one can know that you are a summon or else they will come for us and attack us endlessly. I need to master my magic in this state so until then please be cautious.”
“Okay,” he comes back to his senses finding the 2 girls staring at him with blank expressions on their faces, though Murler still looks arrogantly angry at him for some reason. Roz looks away and sighs, “I guess you’re right Murler, this world is quite stupid indeed,” He turns around and looks back through the hole in the bush.
Hearing what Roz just said somehow infuriates Murler. She chants a quick fire spell and throws it at him but he notices it in time and dodges. Unfortunately for them that same spell flies past the hole in the bush and goes on to blow up the prison gate alerting everyone.
Roz looks at this mess and just sighs out a depressive sigh, ‘I think I have a better chance of surviving alone.’ He looks back at the now terrified girls who have now lost that angry confidence they had a moment ago, “the reason you’re going back for your staff…” he scratches his head, “ you can’t control your magic without it, can you?”
He stares her down until she cracks.
“Okay, okay yes,” she cracks, “I need it, ok. The staff helps a little with controlling my magic-“
“Bullshit,” he snaps.
“-ok fine. It helps a lot, you happy?” She frowns. “I need it, end of story, so please help me get it back. You own me that much for getting us in this mess in the first place.” Her cheeks flush a little as she makes her demand.
Roz looks back through the hole and watches how the guards scramble about at the gate. “Do you know where they keep the staffs?” he asks.
“Yes, I saw the storage room before they locked us up,” says Murler.
“Good. You two will go and get your staff while I create a distraction-“
“No! We will go together,” Murler cuts him off and says, “I don’t trust you. You might call the guards on us the moment we walk into the prison.”
”Fair enough.” He picks up a rock on the ground and turns to give it to Murler’s friend but ends up staring at her breasts instead. She looks at him confused look.

“What?” she asks.
“You’re really quiet, boob girl, if not for your boobs i would’ve forgotten that you were hear.”
She frowns, “I have a name you know.”
He stares at her breasts again then looks at her hands. He passes her the rock and tells her to throw it at the gate, “use your magic and throw it with as much force as you can.”
“ok, sure.” She grabs the rock and holds it in her right hand and gets into form.
With her left leg placed firmly in front of her, she slides her right leg back in readiness to throw the rock and she closes her eyes as she does that. When she opens them some rocks on the ground begin to tremble and then she throws it.
It flies out like a bullet on steroids ripping apart the small hole in the bush and flies straight at the gate blowing it apart and sending the soldiers flying from the explosiveness of the impact.
“This girl is dangerous,” Roz things to himself after witnessing the first of this world’s battle mage class, and a newbie at that. “Am glad she’s on my side.”
“Agreed,” says Rayer in his mind.
Meanwhile, the girls not only look unphased by this it’s as if it’s a normal thing for them to throw rocks and blow shit like they both just did. infact, the jiggly girl even looks depressed and humiliated and Murler is there comforting her, “hey, it wasn’t that bad, you just haven’t regained your strength that’s all.”
“No shit.” Roz thinks to himself as he tries to figure out just how strong people are in this world, “if These girls have this much raw power at their disposal and they are at the bottom of the power scale…” he brushes off the thought. “Ok, it won’t do much good for me to wonder,” He walks out of the bush saying, “let’s go get our staffs, share we.” They head for the gate and quickly sneak in and go straight to the storage room passing by the guards who are scattered across the ground passed out. The rest of them are either in hiding or ran away at the site of the witch, Rayer. (Which in our case is Roz)
In the storage room, Murler immediately finds her staff and she beams with joy like a little child while Roz on the other hand pretends to search silently on his own away from the girls.
“Hey Rayer, which one is it?” he asks her while looking at the many different styles of staffs in front of him.
“It’s not here,” she responds, “Renol must’ve taken it knowing that I’d come for it later”
“Ok, remind me again why that staff is important, am looking at 10 different staffs here can’t one of these do?”
“No, remember that stone on the head of the staff that glew the night you came?”
“Ya, what about it?”
“Well that stone acts like a catalyst when I am using magic and it allows me to practically do any magic I want without worrying about running out of magic as quickly as I would without it. It is what has allowed me to survive alone all this time.” Her speech slows down when she says that last part.
“I see,” he stays silent for a brief moment as Rayer’s emotions of betrayal, anger and loss flood her body and he feels all of them. “Alone on the run, huh?”
She doesn’t respond.
“Witch?” says Murler, “have you found your staff?”
Roz turns to her and warmly smiles, “No… it’s not here.”
He walks out of the storage room and the girls slowly follow in silence almost like they know what he is feeling...
***
“Rayer?”
“yes”
“When Renol left I sensed something familiar the same feeling I got from the stone back when I came… any chance he got the staff?”
“Very high”
Roz sighs… “I wonder how far he’s gone already...”
One of the soldiers on the ground wakes up and Roz grabs him by his shirt and asks, “Renol, where is he going?”
“To look for you,” the soldier trembles as he answers with sweat streaming past his face.
“Where?”
“To the Kingdom!” he cries, “please don’t kill me!”
“The Kingdom?” says Rayer, “why would he go there?”
“Good question, Let’s go find out,” Roz let’s go of the soldier and walks out the gate and he mounts one of the horses left outside the prison and heads straight for the kingdom leaving Murler and her friend behind.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
