โจโพโจThe Queen's Castle is a vast and heavily fortified magical structure of conjoined spires. In the center of the largest and most guarded tower is the Conduit. Floating above the Conduit is the Queen's throne. Witches commonly visit the Queen's Castle to hear the Queen's decrees from the courtyard. Missions are also posted for members of the Grand Coven throughout the castle grounds.

โจโพโจReina sat upon her ruby throne that levitated above the Conduit. The Conduit swirled with raw magical energy as it emitted a kind of spotlight that illuminated the gemstone chair above it. The Witch Queen stirred as she felt the magical energy of arcana stir. She looked ahead as the magical orb beneath her projected an emergency image. Two demon eyes glared through her eyemask as she watched the smiling moon suddenly unleashed an immense amount of Madness onto the Earth. "Curious. Why is it so targeted?" She watched as the stream of crimson Madness energy struck the Death City hall. The immortal queen was omniscient in Arcana and yet she was completely confused by the eruption of Madness from the moon. Could this be Death's doing? But Madness hurts his bottom line as much as it does mine. The queen wondered internally before immediately deciding to take action. Why the moon itself was smiting Death City's town hall with Madness was beyond her own understanding. The Conduit's watchful eye on the Earth's plane was not quite as perceptive as she thought. Suddenly, the Witch Queen's visage was broadcasted over the castle to be seen from every inch of Arcana. "Witches of Arcana! Hear my proclamation! The moon is infecting the center of Death City with Madness. Kishin eggs are abundant there and the Conduit hungers for them. All of the Grand Coven is mobilizing to claim those souls. Don't let the DWMA stand in your way!" She announced over her magical realm. With the snap of her fingers, thousands of witches in her army began taking flight from the castle and flying into a green magic circle that acted as a portal to Death City. "Eeeheehehehehehehehehehehe!" Reina let out her classic cackle as she sent her coven into Death City. Her laugh was self-satisfied and could be heard across the magical plane.
โจโพโจApotheosis was walking through the towers of the Queen's Castle before he was stopped in his tracks. He looked up to see the Queen's projection from the light of the Conduit. What a marvelous event this shall be. The sorcerer immediately started considering what all of this might mean. In a snap, he understood that this was an opportunity to him to collect many more Kishin eggs and become even stronger. His skills in sorcery were developing at a frighteningly quick rate. Yet it was still not enough for him to attain his higher ambitions. There was still a long road ahead to grandmaster and unlocking the secrets of Eibon's spell tome. He walked up the stairs leading to the main tower. Apotheosis expected some of his comrades to meet him here. He had to deposit the Kishin eggs he collected in his demon tool into the Conduit for the completion of his mission. Once the proclamation was over, Apotheosis was granted entry into the throne room. When he approached the Conduit, he stared at the glowing orb before allowing his demon tool to levitate. The tome of pyromancy opened up before twenty Kishin eggs flew out of its magical pages one by one and were thrown into the magical orb. It appeared that the Conduit was instantly consuming them like extremely hot fire. He performed a grandiose pose as he deposited the souls and awaited his fellow witches to join him as the Witch Queen began floating back to her throne above the Conduit.
Faina had tagged along with Azalee and Apotheosis on their kishin hunt, that'd brought them to the Irlandets. She was on her way with him to deposit their share of the eggs. "Durak did better than expected. Maybe stupid man not so bad." She was verbalizing to the group, the last bit was said whilst chuckling, before the witch queen made her announcement. A wide grin would stretch across her face. Soon she'd be waiting with Apotheosis, her hand would deftly grasp the six shooter that graced the front of her waist. In one stunning move, she freed it from its holster with a flourishing spin, cocking the hammer back. Faina held her Colt Army Revolver towards the sky. "Time to work some more, Durak."

Trudging fourth with speeds akin to that old couple walking two abreast with a shopping cart in front of you in a skinny aisle, not allowing you to pass as you know you can walk sooo much faster, Azalee paced like many other witches to the throne room. She was joining those she vaguely knew and the one sheโd been partnered with, looking extra smug with himself meaning heโd been a busy bee of late. Azalee had lacked his motivation and as such had a lot less merits under her belt, not that she cared with the most prevalent thing to her was simply enjoying her newfound freedom. Still she tended to listen to her superiors out of requirement and considering they would be in DWMA territory, her personal interests were peaked as she found weapons and their meisters a fascinating sort worth studying. Azalee would lift a hand for a loose wave toward the two she already knew, the proprietor of that nice pub Faina and of coarse Apotheosis. Her other hand carried her bone and skull staff which she normally stored with casual magic, any looking at the eye sockets of the skulls would get the feeling the skulls were watching back. โLooks like we get to visit the Shinigamiโs land, itโs been so long since Iโve managed to see one of those precious meisters in actionโฆ especially if we start taking their windfall.โ She spoke with a level of excitement she tended to lack, her timidity replaced by this and her expressions and movements lacking the usual uncertainty or hesitance.

Brought into the Grand Covenยดs castle thanks to a certain witchยดs guidelines he was gifted by the coven with the presence of their precious Queen. While it was true he had heard of her before, Barry had to admit words felt short to describe Reina, she was to vivid, too passionate in her own way. How she drove herself in front of the crowd, the mesmerizing demon eyes bringing just as much presence as her highnesss herself. Soon the speech was made, and the Covenยดs hand was set into action. With the purpose of seizing as many kishin eggs from the enemyยดs hands as possible. He could see the awe that followed the crowd, Apotheosis rallied with his charisma. No words were needed, just the way he always seemed to steal the spotlight and the burning ambission set in his eyes which set the covenยดs heart ablaze. Ready to rally for glory or ruin. As if a Giant Lighthouse, Apotheosisยดs presence soon accentuated Fanla and Azaleeยดs making the Pub group to easily stand from the rest of the crowd. He observed from one of the pillars, sitting by the velved edges circling the base, observing how the Coven reated to Reinaยดs Royal decree, as well as resonating in a way with Apotheosisยดs ambicion.
โจโพโจApotheosis held his arms out and began laughing haughtily. "I hath fed the Conduit!" The sorcerer was satisfied by his contributions to Arcana through the many souls that he had harvested. He could feel his power growing as the pull of magic became all-consuming. He bobbed his head around to see that he already had some familiar faces in his entourage. "Ah yes, the odd Rrrrrrrussian girl is here." He rolled his r's as he pointed at her with the flamboyantly wagging motion of his finger. When Azalee spoke up he nodded affirmatively before crossing his arms. "Yes yes, those Kishin eggs are as good as ours. We can tell those Lord Death bootlickers to go back to school." Apotheosis spoke with resounding approval before pounding his forearms together. He performed a simple incantation while he stared at the bloodsucker. "Humble harrowing gentleman, offer us your aid so that we may vanquish these maddened souls!" A fiery magic circle appeared in front of the trio. Apotheosis stepped into the magic circle and used it as a door to leave Arcana and enter Death City.
Fannar, sitting on one of the pillar, eyes only casted in shadow looking down upon other witches, arriving a little later or soon before the announcement was made; listening in carefully. Currently madness has overrun the main part of Death City; characters of all sets will be there. A little fun for him. โ Don't let Apotheosis' overshadow your success... It'll be a real shame too.. โ He responded, his tone felt worried and ensuring, showcasing a devilish smile just enjoying Apotheosis' showboating. Fannar should used this opportunity for letting out some tension. โ You all heard the lady. Let's make sure the DWMA understood their role... it's my duty as an librarian to make sure that... no-one gets hurt around my sight.. โ Jumping off the pillar, landing in the group's sights as he followed the redhead behind.
โจโพโจThe great sorcerer himself stepped through the portal in the Queen's Castle. He felt as though he needed a shower after visiting the DWMA. Even if it was only for an hour or two. Nonetheless, he had to return back to the castle to report for his mission. He deposited the files he stole in the constabulary for processing before writing his full report on a magic scroll. He also felt himself grow stronger from the souls that he swiped from the DWMA's repository.

Just another day in paradise here in Arcana, and the place's resident trickster was out and about on official orders. Now naturally, she would have dreaded having her day ruined from her fun pastimes of pranks and tricks on the townsfolk outside, today, the forever child at heart would be presented with her orders by the higher ups. Some mail came, the witch plucking through the messages for the day. "Hm, let's see. Threat from Death City for the stink bomb in central hall, warning from Arcana not to misuse the portal system for personal entertainment, threat from Arcana to stop misusing magic, fan mail...Wait, what's this?" she would get a letter from the agency of Arcana themselves, the girl's eyes widened as she opened the letter and read the contents. "Dear Mrs. Eulris. We acknowledge your aging condition by your parent and/or guardian...yadda yadda yadda...W-We hereby insist that you immediately begin an apprenticeship? Or they'll throw me out of Arcana?!" The girl's heart stopped as she'd clutch the letter with agony.
"Ugh, I don't wanna be stuck in a boring apprenticeship!" Annie said, having flown to the Queen's Castle on her broomstick while now outside, currently having a fit. She clutched the letter in hand, reading it once more, as if to see a mistake made and that it would allow her to go back to her days of enjoyment and fun. "Stupid council wants me to work for them like everyone else. Can't let a cursed witch in peace." She mumbled to herself while then entering the castle. It wouldn't be too terrible of a job from the sounds of it, as she had been slacking off for like...how many years was it? Annie had lost count after fifty or so. Honestly, time flew by so quick that she hardly noticed it.
"Your apprenticeship will begin with posthaste. Please present yourself to your given mentor...Apo...How the hell do you even say that?" The girl repeated aloud what was on the paper, adjusting her hat as the blonde locks of hair spilled out. How the hell was she gunna find some guy who was that man? Annie could barely even recall what she did for breakfast this morning! The child was quick to wander the halls in search of this man, bugging everyone from low ranking official to a royal guard itself. And nearly being thrown out of the tower for trespassing in grounds that the public wasn't to set foot in. Honestly, she had a horrible sense of direction!
After some time, the girl would run across a fair haired man who bore a sense of refinement and pride in himself. This totally had to be the guy! No other kind of guy would have a weird and old fashioned name like some noble looking man who wanted to stand out in a crowd. "Hey!" she called out, running over to the man with haste while standing in front of him. "I'm searching for an Apo...Apo-the-sis? Arthritis? I'm trying to find him." Annie handed the official note to him, alongside documentation about herself. Age, magical ability, the condition her mother had placed on her from a young girl to cease her aging process that was a mystery even to the girl herself.
And a list about a mile long of her infractions and punishments.

โจโพโจThe busybody sorcerer maneuvered around the many towers of the castle. He was looking for more missions and gossiping with other sorcerers. Though none of them could ever hope to become as glorious as he! He walked by himself around one of the towers. When he was approached by the childish witch he raised an eyebrow. "Tis I, Apotheosis! Four-star witch of the Grand Coven!" The sorcerer huffed as he heard her butcher his name so brutally. He carried arcane tomes and scrolls in his arms as he worked on researching for his next mission. He walked into an alchemical laboratory in the tower and began organizing his research materials obsessively on the desk. "And what is it you want with me, lost girl?" The fiery-haired pyromancer turned away from her with complete disinterest and only half listened as he straightened out his research sources. He unraveled scrolls with glowing letters and unlocked small amounts of fire magic from the pyromancy tomes.

No doubts about it. This was Apotheosis alright. Not only from how weird and old fashioned he sounded, the royal looking attire and the way he rolled his r's, but his announcement to the heavens, as if everyone alive should have laid witness to how he was being greeted by some kid. Annie took a moment to realize that this was her mentor for the time being, a feeling of despair beginning to well up inside of her. The man's total lack of interest to her from the basis of some person you just met wasn't going over very well in her mind.
Maybe leaving Arcana wouldn't be so bad?
She'd exhale and look over at what he was busy doing. Those books were pretty interesting, and Annie appeared to have caught him in the middle of some research of sorts. Even those pyromancy skills appeared so cool to the child's eyes, having to pry herself away from them before she would answer him. "Well, Mr. Four Star Witch Guy, the Council have decided that I'm not fit for wasting any more resources on, and have pushed me into becoming your apprentice starting this morning. So...Here I am. My name's Annisia Eulris, Annie's fine though." She gestured to herself, clutching her broomstick by the handle while she looked back to his desk. "Whatcha workin' on? Some kind of mission or something?"
Settling within the castle's hallways, a certain green-haired witch combs through the hallways, making his way towards the laboratory in recovering a book from someone there after his recon work. Staying in Death City for too long can mess with one's head, plus he hasn't uncovered anything which deeply irk him. Once receiving that book, he'll start looking at missions; growing stronger is a key factor. Finally approaching, the latter heavily bangs on the wooden making himself presence. โ Grimm, you better have it here or else, I'll freeze your rotting tongue then force---- โ No response. Instead of her, it's two figures; Apotheosis and a kid....? โ The Grrrrrrrrrrrreat Sorcerer Apotheosis is doing babysitting jobs now it seems...โ A sly grin appears on the fox's face, stepping inside as he walks over to the bookshelf.

โจโพโจThe grandiose Apotheosis was only half listening as he leafed through each page. He then let out a single haughty chuckle when he absorbed what she said. "Indoubtebly preposterous!" He turned around and stood up as the books and scrolls swirled around him with magic. The letters appeared as magical runes as they projected for his reading purposes. "I'm on track to become the greatest sorcerer in all of Arrrrrrrrrcana! Surely this is a ruse..." Apotheosis pointed to the ceiling as he made his proclamation. He then began tapping his chin out of ponderance as well as annoyance. "Surely the council wouldn't send me some...reject. I could only be given the best of the best! I require prrrrrrrroof!" Apotheosis extended his hand as if expecting her to give him an official document. When she went on to ask him what he was working on he just rolled his eyes. "That's none of your concern because the council did not appoint you as my apprentice." The sorcerer found the whole idea to be completely absurd. He would have known if he was to be given a pupil. He only looked up from Annisia to see Fannar walking into the library he was using. He could tell that he was mocking Apotheosis's superior annunciation and it was not appreciated. "Animals aren't permitted in the sorcerers' laboratories...shoo!" Apotheosis waved Fannar away while awaiting an explanation or some proof from Annie.
"With the power of Music, we can unite the world!" Cecilia Villanova | Level 1 | โ | Witch | Sorcerer | Artist | 100 / 100 Mana
Cecilia had found herself once again abandoned by her aunt as she saw the older woman walk away. Left on the castle grounds, her aunt had said that she had some business to attend to, and that she'd be gone for a while. Cecilia was instructed to find a mission and take it to get some real-world practice. Studying in a safe environment was good and all, but her aunt said that she'd be better off learning first hand. Cecilia had always learned best by doing. Danger was the best teacher, according to her aunt.
The musician gave out a heavy sign has she adjusted her guitar on her back. It had been modified to allow her to use her magical abilities. On top of that, she now also had no need for any external equipment. The guitar played the sound she wanted without any amplifiers or pedals. She just felt that a lot of these people didn't appreciate the music. Witches were a weird lot, and she occasionally found herself wishing the DWMA would accept someone like her. But the whole 'witches and meisters/weapons didn't get along' thing got in the way of that.
Cecilia took her guitar off of her back and began absentmindedly playing a tune while she looked over some of the various posted missions. A lot of things were out of her skill range, and some of the lower level ones weren't exactly appealing. She'd have to decide on something soon, though.
