25 Chapter 23: Soul Switch Witch 2 (1/2)
[ Blood & Violence & Death as usual ]
.....
”She is a witch!” One of the guards shouted
Ivery ran into a dark alley and she reached a dead end...the guards quickly caught up with her...
It seems they called for backup and the two guards turned into 10 more guards...
A pink whip materialized in her hand...she whipped the whip on the ground and readied herself for a fight...
Ivery didn't couldn't use most of her stronger attacks...this body was too weak...too much infinite energy could kill the body..
”If you continue to evade your death sentence, we'll kill you right here and now, witch” The head captain guard told 'Ivery'
”How many times do I have to keep saying it...I'm not a witch!” Ivery swung her whip in a horizontal motion
The whip hit 4 guards out of commission...they were knocked out cold after crashing into an old abandoned carriage behind the buildings.
”Guess we'll have to kill you then” The remaining guards pointed their swords at her
The whip in Ivery's hand dissipated...she dropped on the ground and fell on her back...it seemed that the infinite energy can't be used for long with this body size...she had no more strength to even move a finger.
”Could this be help from the gods...what a shame for you witch” The guard captain walked closer to 'Ivery'
....
”Step away” A voice said behind the other guards
”Who's there?” The captain asked
”What gives you the authority to question me?” A man with long blonde hair and eyes as just red as a demon stepped forward
”Your majesty!” The captain got on one knee and kneeled in front of Julian
The rest of the guards also got down on one knee and kneeled in Julian's presence.
”Is this her?” Julian looked down at 'Ivery'
Loki rushed over and stood beside 'Ivery's' ”body”.
”Definitely her, we are linked through her infinite prowess...somehow she retained it even in this body...and her soul is temporarily vulnerable right now...it's no wonder that her soul was able to be switched with that witches...” Loki nodded and wagged his fluffy tail, feeling proud that he found her...but so far he's doing badly as her overseer and guardian that he told Hecate he'd be on top of being her guide.
Julian crouched down and looked at the witch's body that his daughter was trapped in.
Pale skin, very very thin, her hair matted and knotted, her skin covered in dirt and whiplash markings...when you're at the bottom of the value, title, and blood worth the consequences and limitations are greater than those who are higher in status...
Being a witch of a sacrifice coven doesn't place them anywhere on the Pyramid, which ranks from highest to lowest.
Being in a coven means they were a hidden society, being a witch automatically made the villagers shun them...but soon it became sinful and the villagers reported the witches to the knights and they took action...
Julian picked 'Ivery' up and walked off with her..
”Your majesty! She is a witch!” The captain shouted
”Don't worry...we'll bring her back after we fix a little issue..” Julian told the guards and they did not pursue him
....
Julian laid 'Ivery' down on the floor beside the witch who was in her body...who was still trapped in Luther's black mist...
”Now...go back in your own body, witch” Julian ordered
”The soul switch is permanent, once used it can never be used again by the same witch” The witch laughed..her fear of them was weakening...she finally realized they'd never hurt her as long as she was in the princess's body
”Quit your lies!” The corners of Julian's eyes began to turn red
”I'm serious, this body is now mine” She laughed louder
”S-Someone...” Ivery woke up
”Inanna! What's wrong?” Luther kneeled down and helped her sit up
”Someone...slap her for me...” Ivery allowed someone to hit her body...
”We couldn't...” Cassandra covered her mouth
”I allow it...it's my body...she thinks she is untouchable because she's in my body...teach her that isn't true..” Ivery weakly smiled
”Who's....going to do it...?” Cassandra asked
”Ivery...” Luther was very much against this...even though Ivery herself requested it...he couldn't bring himself to do it
”W-Wait! You all can't really be considering hurting the princess's body!” The witch started panicking
”I'll do it” Loki said
”No matter how you look at it...you two are her parents..and I doubt the Empress could live with laying a hand to her daughter's face...and I also don't think the Emperor could bring himself to inflict pain with his own hands to Inanna..” Loki said
”Prince Luther...we all know you'd be the most tortured if you had to live with knowing you've slapped your fiance...soon to be wife and mother of your future children....regardless of someone else being in her body,” Loki told the hesitant bunch...all three of these merciless royals could never stomach hitting Ivery...it's pretty shocking to realize such a thing was true...Ivery technically tamed these three without even trying
”What can a cat do, am I supposed to be afraid just because you can talk?” The witch mocked Loki
”I'm not a cat...and you're becoming very arrogant in that body...the princess is right...” Loki's body glowed and grew in size...and took his original form as a man..
Loki walked over to the witch...
Cassandra covered her eyes.
Loki raised his hand and slapped the witch across the face...leaving a slight red mark. Shocking the witch...not thinking they'd really let him...hit her...in the princesses body..
”Act like you're above what you actually are again...the princess will decide on the next hit”
”I'll say once more, go back in your own body, witch” Julian ordered for the second time
”What will happen if I do go back..?” The witch asked
”You're going to die” Luther quickly answered her question
”Prince Luther!” Cassandra put her finger to her lips...they had to trick her...she wouldn't go back if she knew she was definitely going to die after going back to her body
