Bio:

Born into a clan that is dedicated to the eradication of all witches, Horace Witchkiller is said to be one of the best within his clan.

Intro Sequence: Horace comes out in a smokescreen while loading his crossbow on his wrist. He looks at his opponent and says "Do not get in my way, I have to continue my hunt," before taking out his dagger and getting into his fighting stance.

Stage: Burning Village, A village that is being burned down by other witch hunters, people are fleeing while the witch hunters chase them down.

BGM: The Relentless Hunter.

(The scene starts out in a wooded area, a small village is in a clearing, where it's inhabitants are going about their day. Men are chopping wood or tending to the livestock, women are washing clothes or doing other household chores. Children are playing in the fields close to the village. However, Men in black and green clothing are watching from the shadows of the Forrest. One of them is ahead of the others, watching intently.)

-Horace(V/O): I am Horace Witchkiller of the Witch Hunter clan. I and my brethren search the world of Zoarin to eradicate all witches from existence. Despite what some would say, all of the witches plan to rule the world. The Black Witches are more forthcoming, using their foul magics to subjugate minds and souls. The White Witches say they are there to balance nature but they will use it to take over Zoarin.

(Horace continues to search the village to see if his target is around.)

```
-Horace(V/O): I am looking for the last known White Witch, his search led us here. He knows these degenerate people are hiding his target, they will pay for this with there lives.

```

(Shows Horace gives the order to attack. Soon the contingent of Witch Hunters descends upon the village. They quickly kill any who try and fight back, some are ruthless enough to kill innocent women. They allow the children to escape as they begin to set the village on fire. Horace notices one of the male villagers running into the forest. Horace gives chase and soon catches up to the man, firing off a bolt from his wrist crossbow that lodges into the man's knee. The man yells out in pain and falls to the ground. Soon Horace walks towards the man, who is clutching his leg in pain.)

-Horace: You think you can escape from us, you dirty heathen. Or did you try to get the witch to help you?

-Villager: She told me of you and your insane cult of witch hating killers. You truly no nothing of her benevolent intentions and you will burn in the Pit of Damnation for your actions.

-Horace: ENOUGH! Tell me where she is or your death will be slow and agonizing.

(All this threat does is make the man laugh bitterly.)

-Villager: She left here not long ago, said she planned on stopping the evil wizard Sors from taking over the world. I would not give chase hunter, for she will kill you if she sees you.

-Horace: She will never get the chance. I will end her existence and this wizard. As for you, you'll get what punishment that is suited for a man who harbors a witch.

(Horace takes out a noose and wraps it around the man's neck. He connects the noose to his wrist crossbow and fires the bolt into the air, yanking the man up into the air. The man struggles with the rope as he suffocates but soon dies. Soon several other witch hunters come to the scene. Horace gives them orders to move out but he goes in the other direction, heading for Sors Stronghold.)

-Horace(V/O); I will be the one to land the killing blow on this witch and then take care of this wizard, cleansing the world of two great evils.

Rival Fight: vs. Fiona White Mane

(The scene starts with Horace walking into a clearing near Sors stronghold. He looks at the site for a few moments.)

-Horace: I thought I would find the witch before I took on the wizard.

-???: You won't have to look for me, murderer.

(Horace whirls around to see a woman with white hair and clothes on. In her hand is a wand that she uses to cast spells with. Her gray eyes burn with hatred as she looks at the witch hunter.)

-Horace: I see you want to face your death head-on, I can almost respect that.

-Fiona: Your deluded sense of self-righteousness is pathetic, you are so blinded by arrogance that you don't see the fact that you have been manipulated by the evil witches into killing all of my sisters.

(This statement throws Horace off guard for a moment before his face goes stone-cold within seconds.)

-Horace: You lie! You are saying anything to get me to spare you or let my guard down. On this day, your coven will disappear from this world.

-Fiona: Yet again, you prove my point. I will kill you, kill Sors and then your clan of killers will be next.

-Horace: Prepare for the Pit of Damnation, witch!

(Both fighters soon get into there battle stances.)

Post-Rival Fight scene:

(Shows Fiona on her knees with bolts lodged in her body, she looks up at the hunter, eyes going from hatred before the fight to tired resignation.)

-Fiona: Go ahead murderer, I will meet my sisters in death and we will smile as the evil witches destroy you once they figure out that you killed us all.

-Horace: Your blasphemy will not affect me, witch. Now go to the Pit and burn for the rest of time!

(Horace goes behind Fiona and grabs a fistful of hair, yanking back to force her head back and exposing her neck. Soon Horace draws his dagger and slices Fiona's throat open, a spray of blood squirts out as the Hunter keeps his grip tight. Fiona does not try feebly to close the wound and soon she goes limp, death had claimed her. Horace simply allows her body to fall to the ground.)

-Horace: A burial is too good for you witch. I'll allow you to be eaten by the animals you tricked into serving you.

(With his job done, Horace walks away from the corpse of the last of the good witches and heads towards the stronghold of Sors.)

Boss Fight:

(Shows Horace walking into the laboratory of the evil wizard. Said wizard is standing behind a table with the Crystal Orb of Fate. He is wearing a dirty wizard robe and shoes. He has long white hair and a beard. His eyes are pure white, likely an effect caused by the orb. He smiles sadistically at Horace.)

-Sors: Welcome Horace Witchkiller, greatest hunter of the Witch Hunter clan. I have foreseen your arrival here!

-Horace: I care not for your theatrics wizard, I am here to kill you. I already took care of the White Witch, your next!

(Horace has his dagger in one hand and he takes aim with his wrist crossbow. Sors chuckles at this.)

-Sors: I am much more powerful than a nature witch. However, you will be the perfect general for my undead army! You can either join me willingly or I'll enslave you.

-Horace: Give it up old man, you can't take on the likes of me.

Sors: Old huh, Well I shall fix that!

(Soon Sors does some hand motions and chanting, this makes the Crystal Orb of Fate begin to glow. Soon the Orb shoots up a beam of light at Sors, causing a blinding light to fill the room. Horace has to shield his eyes as he hears maniacal laughter from Sors. When the laughter and light subside, Horace turns to see that Sors has turned himself into a young man again, having dark brown hair and beard, his robe now clean. He jumps and lands in front of Horace, pulling out a magic staff and short sword.)

-Sors: I have evened the odds hunter, now prepare to have your soul taken by me!

-Horace: You still don't have a chance, your magic has nothing on my determination!

(Both fighters get into their fighting stances.)

Ending Cutscene:

(Shows the defeated Sors on his knees, trying to stand up. He looks up at a victorious Horace.)

-Sors: You should have listened to the witch when you had the chance. She was right, you have been serving the evil witches all this time.

-Horace: Like her, I do not believe you, evil wizard! You can meet her in the Pit now!

(Horace takes his wrist crossbow and shoots Sors in the eye with a bolt killing him. Soon after that he goes to the table that holds the Crystal Orb of Fate, looking at it. He soon reaches out to touch it.)

-???: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Horace whips around and aims his wrist crossbow at the laughter but it seems to come from everywhere.)

-Horace: WHO'S THERE!!

(A curvaceous woman with raven black hair and demon-like red eyes comes floating out of the darkness behind him. She is wearing a flowing black and red dress that reveals an impressive amount of cleavage. She lets out another laugh that causes Horace to whirl back around and fire off a bolt but said projectile is deflected by a barrier she has up. She smiles smugly at Horace.)

-???: Thank you pawn, you not only killed the last of our rival coven but you secured us the Crystal Orb of Fate!

(Soon the words of Fiona echos in Horace's mind, a startling revelation washes across Horace's mind.)

-Horace: NO! THIS CAN NOT BE!

-???: Yes it is, hahaha! All this time you have been working for us and you and your idiot hunters were none the wiser. Now I, Abertha Raven-Wing will soon rule this world!

-Horace: NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!

-Abertha: You have served your purpose lackey, I'll reward you with allowing you to live...for now!

(The last scene shows Horace rushing at Abertha with his dagger but she creates a portal behind Horace and uses her powers to push him into it, all while he screams "NOOOOOOOOOO!" and disappears through it.)
