**The picture book witch who was pierced by its many spikes** or **The Witch Falls** is an event happened in the Old World that shifted the balance of power there, causing the Fall of Mankind and then, the creation of the New World.

## Background

### Three Ancestral Witches

The Three Ancestral Witches, Hecate, Isis and Morrígan, the three witch goddesses mourned the death of their falling sister witches and wished to end all Witch Hunts.

They decided to start a grand ritual which used Materialization of Soul as basis. Their plan is to destroy all human with the thoughts of killing witches. They kidnapped children to fund their Holy Grail.

### Bridge Building Cabal

Meridiana and Laplace's Demon, Transcendents from the Bridge Building Cabal saw the Ancestral Witches' dream as evil. Killing all those who wish to kill witches is just similar to a Witch Hunt but the other side is people. And if the Holy Grail cannot identify who is Witch Hunter and who is not, it will destroy all living beings on this planet. Thus, they sought to stop the Ancestral Witches.

## Course of the Event

### Gentoshi Pharmacopoeia

Due to the pandemic, Gentoshi family decided to cancel their normal beach vacation and went to Dallas city to buy masks to prevent the pandemic spread.

### Kidnapping

During Lunar New Year, The Three Ancestral Witches kidnapped a bunch of children for their Holy Grail which contained Yue Monarchy Gentoshi (6 years old) and Jolene Gazprom Gentoshi (7 years old). They brought those kids to the Witch's Coven.

The three witches used a sleep potion that release sleep gas like drugs and lock them up in a cage in the basement of the Witch's Coven. Luckily, Yue and Jolene had oxygen masks at the time due to the pandemic so they managed to stay awake, trying to find a way out.

### Magic Bubble Tea

During the same day, Lington Sophia-Ri Gentoshi and Musa Gentoshi with their 6 years old child, Koken Chocolate Gentoshi went to buy real estate at a place near the Witch's Coven. There, Koken spotted a really weird bubble tea shop that run by a girl who weared horn like demon and a goat buttler. Thinking that this is a kind of cosplay cafe but for bubble tea, Koken went in to buy a drink. At the shop, the girl introduced herself as Meridiana, she gave him a drink that he described as the best bubble tea that he has drunk.

After drinking, he was given 2 more bubble tea drinks by the goat. The goat said that he ought to give the drinks to those in need who were closed to him, of which Koken thought of his brother. Koken then left the shop, buying one more drink.

### Kids and Magecraft

While wandering on the street drinking bubble tea, Koken heard a weird sound under the sewer. When he checked, he saw his cousins, Yue and Jolene under the sewer, inside a cage. The two said that no one saw them nor heard them under the sewer, only Koken. Though disbelief at first, someone else on the street asked him the reason why he looked at the dirty sewer which made Koken believed in his cousins' words. Koken then bought saws to cut the iron bars of the sewer but no matter how hard and long he and his cousins tried, the bar didn't even scratch.

Jolene began to cried as she was afraid that she could never get out while Koken and Yue were both tired. Koken then gave the two his given bubble tea drinks from the shop to cheer them up. Suddenly, the bars began to crumble, Yue and Jolene managed to get out.

The moment Yue and Jolene climbed out of the sewer, the shadow from the sewer suddenly grew in size and crawled out of the surface like they were a type of particle. That shadow continued to grew and the space around the kids were completely "eaten" by that shadow. However, at the same time, light came out of the kids' stomaches. The light eventually "lighten" the space, allowing the kids to see they were now not on the street anymore but on top of a roof of an old house that was made of old wood planks.

### The Kids' Counter Attack

Realizing that the opponents possessed superpower, Yue knew that they could not escaped the place unless they counter attacked those witches. Koken also theorized that the bubble tea they drank must also possessed a kind of power that allowed them to get out of 2 previous situations. The 3 decided to bait the witches and killed them.

### Golden Burning Ice, Hecate

The 3 kids then jumped in a window of that old house. There, Jolene noticed that the witches used a golden vault to sacrifice children. The 3 kids also noticed that there was a path led to a basement connected to the sewer. They brought the vault under the sewer, then used the bubble tea to break the iron bars to free the children. Hecate, one of the 3 witches noted that the children got free quickly run to the basement just to be slipped by a rope and fell straight to the vault. The red liquid from the vault burned her skin and her magic completely, her body became dark ice that was burned and melted into the vault. Hecate died.

After killing one of the Triple Goddesses, Jolene suggested they took Hecate's hey to get deeper into the basement, hoping that they might be able to use a magical spell there to kill another witch. While Koken and Yue agreed with the plan, Yue also thought of another *idea*. He decided to cook Hecate and ate the witch like eating meat. In Yue's mind, he had won in the hunt; and as the victor, he would like to directly take his prize. Plus, if the bubble tea Koken brought can give them the power to get out, then the flesh of their unsub might have greater effect. This idea freaked both Koken and Jolene out. However, Yue also convinced them that disagreement might stall the three from having another effective tactic against the witches. Eventually, the two agree to help Yue *cook* Hecate but they denied to eat her.

The liquid inside the golden vault was like lava, extremely hot. The witch's flesh was quickly burned but somehow, the body still remained intact. Yue use the saw that Koken bought before to cut out the witch's heart and ate it while the other two looked at him in disgusts.

### Library of Prayer that are never heard, Isis

The 3 kids used Hecate's key to got deeper into the basement, there, they realized that they were in a library with many books/grimoires. There was one book in particular hanged on a lectern, Koken came there to read that book. He learned about the Holy Grail and the witches' plan to sacrifice children and got their wish. Suddenly, the book lightened up and *got inside* Koken's body. To Yue and Jolene surprise, Koken suddenly knew a way to kill another witch. Thee three started to prepare traps.

While there were many other books and grimoires, none of them could be read by those kids. However, there was a certain book that caught Koken's intention, a book about a certain boy's wish to be noticed by his parents. Koken then realized that one of the witches must have empathized with his brother and suggested using him as bait to defeat her. He printed several pictures of his family, many have Anxien being ignored by his family by his phone's special printer and used them to bait Isis, the witch that heard Anxien's prayer, leading her to the library by placing them on the floor.
