   THE HALLOWED WOODS   

The Hallowed Woods is an enchanted forest that makes up 30% of Mahou Wandos known landmass. Behind the Agatha Academy courtyard and Pleasant Acres, and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is home to a majority of creachers in the realm. AS The 3rd and final treasure of the Mahou Wando mainland it's known to house hundreds of unique flora and fauna that have become treasured friends and icons for the realm's society.

[All Creachers In Mahou Wando]

The Hallowed Forest is split into FOUR LAYERS. The higher the number, the more DANGEROUS things become...

 KEY CHARACTERS 


22515951_iBcqanhmN1xDlMj.png   Creacher Obsessed  || Dr. Faun  
The Head of Creacher Research and huge fan of Creachers in general Dr. Faun has been working on researching Creachers ever since they graduated from Agatha Afters, and have dedicated their entire life to learning about the magical Creachers that inhabit the realm. They are the only person in the realm who can navigate to the Deep Hallowed Woods safely due to their ability to control creachers.

17043204_VyfmItKmfklUP8e.png  King of the Cursed Fruits || PUMPKIT  
The rwound and owrange leader of the Cursed Fruit People! Every Halloween they become supercharged and have a tantrum that usually ends with a nap. Ever since 2020, they've turned a new leaf, star-divorced their Queen, stopped turning people into zombies, and began helping mahous who've lost their way in the Hallowed Woods find their way back- in exchange for a lil bit of the mahou's magic as a snack. They're very happy to finally find-- a reluctant acceptance from the realm again. :3

27553187_Jl2336cw09uWO8m.png  Queen of the Cursed Fruits || PUMPKINETTE  

The leader of the Cursed Fruit Rebels who all refused to go back to feeding off of the soil after the King's defeat and prefer to just suck the life energy straight outta mahous for their delicious declious magic! The Pumpkin Queen is a very headstrong woman who couldn't care less if they had to zombify a kid or two to get what she wants. She has the utmost respect from her people and is a wanted figure in Mahou Wando. If you find her or her gang, you should run!

  The Protectors of the Hallowed Woods || THE WALKING CURSED FRUITS   
The ancient patrollers of the deep hallowed woods. They take care of the plants, creachers, entertained and guided travelers! Seemingly always hungry, they feed off of magic from whatever source they can sink their teeth and vines into, whether it's from the soil of Mawa or the occasional wanderer...

  CURSED FRUIT   

Cursed Fruit must stick their roots in magic enriched surfaces, objects or soils to grow tall and healthy!
Now that Mahou Wando has been restored, magic is once more very abundant in the realm's soil, allowing Cursed Fruits to thrive and make healthy offsprings!
Cursed fruit need a consistent and POWERFUL source of magic to stay alive...
You can say that they're QUITE GLUTTONOUS when it comes to food!
78119718_PxYRixbqhRdS3op.png[THE 3 LAYERS OF CURSED FRUIT EVOLUTION]
The Creeping Fruit | The Hopping Fruit | The Walking Fruit

THE CREEPER
  • Abnormally sized due to lack of magic drinking. Or just very young!
  • Uses its vines to drag itself around.
  • Some have faces at this stage. Some don't.
THE HOPPER
  • Mutations occur via aging or magic intake, ex. weird growths, expressions, or ghosts appear.
  • Vines fuse into limbs. Hops around on a large stem.
THE WALKER
  • Final evolution! Can take on its own stems! Weird hands.
  • Can use the magic stored overtime for anything it wants.
  • Often goes to plant seeds to grow more fruits!


[EVIL BOYS]
[Creacher sheet]
28406803_zPM5NSvyVR3mS7A.pngSome fruits have unfortunately acquired a rather FERAL desire for the taste of magic that comes directly from a Mahou's body!
Lead by the Pumpkin Queen, they mindlessly continue to hunt for unfortunate Mahous who they can latch onto as host!

Stage 1: HUGGIE WUGGIES
The fruit attaches to the host and plants themselves onto the body.
They override the host mind and put them in a comatose state taking over the body.
Stage 2: UwU
The fruit walks about! They settle into the body and can't be removed at this point. They talk in a very cringe-worthy way and are generally unpleasant to be around. Oddly harmless though.
Stage 3: Fusion!!! >:333
After a long period of time, the host will start to regain consciousness and they will effectively merge with the fruit, becoming a new being. The fruit may exhibit interest in what the host originally enjoyed as the host is slowly eased back into consciousness, awakening already adjusted to the fruit's presence.
The host gets an unexpected benefit of increased power and the ability to manipulate extra vine arms!!!
Unfortunately, there is a second voice that haunts them sometimes...


  LAYER 1  
The Hallowed Woods

 The Hallowed forest at it's finest is a woodland utopia, populated by creachers and the woodsmen who like to be surrounded by them.

  • [Hot Spot for Living] 
    This is the part of the forest where Mahous who are seeking a change of scenery with their living situation- will go to make their homes.
    The forest is self replenishing and won't suffer.

  • [Academy Research Grounds] 
    Academy field trips; like Creacher spring also happen here.
    When field trips aren't happening, Researchers continue to roam and research.

  • [Find unique ingredients] 
    And if you're looking for unique ingredients, this is the place to find them!

 LAYER 2  
Into the Deeper Hallowed Woods

STUDENTS CANNOT BE HERE LEGALLY WITHOUT A CHAPERONE, in fact people are discouraged from coming here unless they have a reason to be.

  • [Living Spot for the Feral Mahou]
    Very few mahous choose to live here due to how dangerous and unpredictable the creachers can get. But a thrill-seeking woodsman will find this place to be home.

  • [Threatening Creachers]
    Creachers in this layer have more aggressive habits. For example, Darlindos tend to build their nests in this layer.

  • [Pumpkit's Watch]
    If you go too deep into this layer and start heading towards the 3rd, you might just run into King Pumpkit!
    Who will encourage you to maybe think twice about going deeper if you are alone!
    "If ywu gwo any fwuthew... my ex wis gonna getwchu!! uvu"

  LAYER 3   
The Deep Hallowed Woods 

[OFF LIMITS UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPECIAL PERMIT AS A CAPABLE ADULT]

  • [Curiousity Killed the Cat] 
    Students who've attempted to venture further by themselves often run into unfortunate accidents within the deep forest. In some cases, they end up being possessed by CURSED FRUITS. Luckily, the PUMPKIN QUEEN PUMPKINETTE will take care of them if that happens, and by taking care of them she means recruiting them for her ever-growing zombie army-

  • [But Satisfaction brought it ba-] 
    no it didn't. That cat died. Don't go in Layer 3, Samson.

  • [Cursed Fruit Haven]
    This is where you will find a majority of cursed fruits growing. When they acquire a host they are able to travel between both the 2nd and 3rd layers of the forest freely because they technically belong in both.

  • [Total Darkness]
    The tree shrubs are locked very tight together, not allowing for much light from above. Because of this, it's extremely dark and nothing can be seen easily without light. Any light that you do find in this Layer, is 100% a creacher seeking prey and you shouldn't approach it.

  LAYER 4  
Count Rosencranz's Castle

33822855_3QGO9HkmpIa4Z0d.gif

In the very center of the Deep Hallowed Forest, an eerily ruined castle surrounded by shattered artifacts, thorny vines, and Rosie Posies stand in solitude.
The garden at the edge of the castle is more than just a little overgrown, plants seem to frenziedly crawl in every direction until one reaches the castle door...

The castle is guarded by a VERY LARGE SNEERCAT, supposedly named "Mittsy".
It's probably best to not go near it, as the Sneercat is very playful and will be more than happy to either gobble a mahou up, or swat them around for its own pleasure.
But if a mahou STILL wants to go in and somehow gets past Mittsy... well, they're in for a treat.

25782284_tD5d2HMPcr2DrqT.png [COUNT ROSENCRANZ'S FORBIDDEN TREASURES] 

Within the ruined castle, one can find many forbidden artifacts, scriptures, and general "you probably should not use that" dark-magic-related items.
Countless books detailing Mahou Wando's history, forbidden design choices, and rituals clutter the dusty library shelves, uneaten food forgotten so long by society that it petrified to stone scattered all over the dining tables and floor.
Looking for ingredients that you can't buy because it's illegal in almost every single realm? Potions that's been forbidden since the dark ages? Or tools for unspeakable rituals?
You can probably find them here.
It's rumored that some outlawed dark magicians have been using the castle as a secretive meeting place...

If one searches carefully, they may even be able to find...
A Rosencranz Sticker Seal.30495477_CxFXZ03N2A3TyOJ.png

[WHAT'S THE ROSENCRANZ STICKER SEAL?]

A Rosencranz Sticker Seal is a powerful dark-magic artifact that allows the user to transform into a more powerful form for just 20 minutes!
Your Mahou is transformed based on their MAHOU TITLE, PERSONAL SYMBOLISM, AND/OR PERSONAL AMBITIONS.
However, no matter what their personal themes are, they will have at least ONE rose on their body somewhere. Signaling that this is not exactly NATURAL.
The Rosencranz Power Form can be best compared to a MEGA-EVOLUTION from Pokemon,
or a PHYSICAL DARK (if you want) MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION.

It was said that these stickers were lost to time ever since Count Rosencranz's defeat a couple of years ago...
But if you're lucky enough to check the rusty drawers and corners, you might be able to find a few that's survived through everything. Maybe it's because of the castle's power...
CLICK HERE AND READ THE REPLIES TO SEE WHAT THE ROSENCRANZ STICKER SEAL CAN DO TO YOUR MAHOUS

  CONSEQUENCES FOR INTRUDING THE CASTLE  

What, you didn't think you'd just be able to walk away from this journey with your treasures scot-free, did you..?
Well, luckily for the mahous tempted towards dark magic, there are no IMMEDIATE consequences for breaking and entering.
However, they say, that once someone tasted the true power that comes with their new Rosencranz forms... their hunger for that same magical release, becomes harder and harder to control.
Causing them to maybe return to the castle multiple times to find the same high.

The more and more one uses the Rosencranz Sticker, the harder it is to control their mental state.
Maybe one day... they'll be able to plant their own beautiful garden pushed to the brink...
Hahahahaha...~
