Witch's Shield

**Witch's Shield** is a Prophecy item featured on *The Altered Adventure*. It first appears in the fourth episode of the second volume.

## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

Gypsy, a seer, comes to possess a diamond shield. The man later passes the shield down to his youngest son, Witch. ("The Spirit World")

In order to stop a powerful demon from destroying the universe, Witch casts a spell on the creature by using four special items. Each soldier gives out their items; Barath with his hammer, Elizabeth with her locket, Witch with his shield and Voice with a part of his soul. Once the spell is complete, the Demon is imprisoned within the gates known as the Prophecy. If all four items are obtained and reach the Prophecy again, the gates will open and the Demon will be free once more. ("Origin")

During Gizzy's Arrival

No longer trusting Witch after disembodied him, Voice confiscates his shield as it is too important for someone like him to keep. The Air Guardian decides to store it in his kingdom for safekeeping. As an added layer of proection, Voice enchants his kingdom, denying anyone who's not a Guardian from entering. On top of that, Voice specifically makes it so that Witch himself is prohibited from entering. ("Sanctuary", "The Power Born")

Volume Two

Blackmailed by Witch for murdering his father, Gypsy, Ratchet steals the Witch's Shield from the Air Kingdom. He brings it back to Witch's Hut to give it back to its master. Witch tells him that the other guardians now know who stole the shield and he'll be de-throned. Witch commands him to leave upon retrieving the item. As Witch tries to teleport to Gizzy so he can be given shield, he finds out that he has a pendant luck and resolves to giving it to him at his house. ("The King of Altered", "The Power Born")

Witch arrives at Gizzy's house and greets him on the second floor. He hands over the shield, giving him ehis second Prophecy items, next to Barath's Hammer. Witch tells him of the remaining items he needs to acquire, informing Gizzy that Elizabeth's Locket is back at the graveyard, buried with her owner. Gizzy keeps the shield in his inventory until he finds the rest of the Prophecy items. ("Ratchet and the Ritual")

Volume Three

After obtaining Elizabeth's Locket, Gizzy and Divine travel to the Broken Church, with Rascal's guidance, in order to find Voice and ask him to help defeat the Demon by having him open the Prophecy instead of killing him to grab his aura, the last Prophecy item. Voice denies the offer as he's not sure if Gizzy's ready to take on the creature. Suddenly, Witch arrives and pressures Gizzy into killing the Air Guardian, but he refuses to do such a thing. Also, Gizzy relinquishes the three Prophecy items to Voice as he no longer wants to fight the infernal beast and save the universe. Having no other choice, Witch uses magic to injure Divine, triggering Gizzy's split personality. During his monstrous form, he manages to knock out Divine, blind Witch with the commotion, and worst of all, kill Voice. Upon his death, he drops all four Prophecy items, including his aura. Afraid of being accused for murder, Gizzy, along with Divine, exits the church with the four items capable of unleashing the Demon. ("Hear My Voice")

On his way to the Prophecy, Gizzy and his gang, now comprised of Divine, Benji and Ratchet, stop at a mossy stone building to rest for the night. Curious, Gizzy combines the four Prophecy items in a crafting grid, triggering his teleportation to the Spirit World. Meanwhile, Gizzy drops all his items, including the Prophecy items, during the teleportation and are picked up by Divine it is now his duty, along with Ratchet and Benji, to reach the Prophecy while the Chosen One hunts down the King Sword. ("The Spirit World")

Along with the other three items, Witch's shield is unintentionally absorbed by the Prophecy when Inferno pushes Gizzy into the gate, causing the doors to open and free the Demon. ("Demon Slayer")
