## Story Thus Far

### Backstory

Sometime before Witch Carnival begins, Cadence made a man-made planet. However, finding she couldn't sustain it, she began to experiment with other energy sustaining methods. Eventually, she becomes a teacher at Daphne's college and begins training pupils in the ways of magic. In so doing, Cadence begins her army of witches whose purpose is to steal energy from others.

One pupil she takes a particular liking to is Daphne. However, the two have a falling out after Daphne realizes Cadence's plans, and Cadence blames Otis for Daphne's defection.

### RedEmyr

Cadence is seen for a brief moment in Draco's dream, criticizing his pride and saying she wanted to make a bet with him. She denotes she had a "fun" punishment picked out for him.

### Witch Carnival

Cadence is first seen in a basement like area of Daphne's being held prisoner with her hands enclosed in strong, metal cuffs. Daphne arrives and informs Cadence her witch Heather, but Cadence only halfheartedly laments while pushing Daphne's buttons by assuring Daphne she's still Cadence's favorite. As Daphne rebuffs her, Cadence notices Daphne's second ring and realizes Daphne has located her second love, Milo. Intrigued, Cadence proposes a game: Milo will fight one of her witches. Together, she and Daphne hash out terms with Cadence making the game seem little risk for Daphne. Eventually Daphne agrees to them and leaves.

Sometime later, Cadence is seen trapped in a bubble in the stands of a stadium area preparing to watch Milo fight her chosen witch. When the fight begins and Cadence's witch is revealed to be an illusion of Daphne, Daphne attempts to call Cadence out. However, Cadence points out it is her wish by the nature of its creation, and Otis encourages Daphne to back off. As the battle begins and turns sour, though, Daphne banishes Cadence's illusion, much to Cadence's irritation. Otis and Daphne both berate Cadence before Daphne banishes her back to her prison. Yet, Cadence manages to whisper a spell that effects Milo before being forced out.

In the evening, Cadence is seen freeing herself from her chains when Daphne's energy is disrupted by the spell Cadence cast on Milo. She quickly transforms herself into a more presentable appearance and exits her dungeon. After some exploring, she finds her way to a room upstairs where she spots of rose-shaped filled with energy. Cadence begins to extract the energy, but is tackled by Vidar who spotted her going up. Panicked, Cadence pushes Vidar into the rose, where he becomes trapped just as Daphne enters the room. Cadence at first commands Daphne to free Vidar, but realizes Vidar can become the planet seed for her planet. Satisfied, Cadence makes her escape before Daphne can retaliate.
