 | Hello, my name is KaiLong Wang..As one of the oldest mahous in the realm and one of Agatha Hargrooves' original creations. I will now tell everyone the story of how Mahou Wando was made.Everything I'm going to say here today is true from my point of view, so don't worry. I'm not the type of man to deceive anyone.Please sit down and listen respectfully as we begin... |
"Everything began 5000 years ago...
..When a little witch fell into the interdimensional sea and washed up on the shores of a blank canvas. It was a colorful and vacant pocket of nothingness, painted violet and red with the only decorations being the sprinkling of stars across space. There was no earth, no sky, just a pretty void. She was far away from her homeland, but at her young age, she was faced with the question of if she even had a home to return to. The world she fell from- escaped from...was a dangerous and scary place. People like her, who could use their magic were viewed as monsters. To be branded a monster only sealed your fate to damn or be damned.
She looked across the vacant space that she aimlessly floated through. Where others would find just an empty void, a young Agatha saw an opportunity. She looked up to the stars above her and made a wish.
...I want to draw one more pretty picture. A world of my own..!
The stars twinkled and gently descended to surround her and with the finesse of a conductor, she waved her fingers like wands and painted oceans, dotting the ground to make freckles of sand, carved mighty mountains and raised lush forest. When she had completed her project, she found herself standing in her own paradise. But that was the issue, wasn't it? Her own. No one to share it with. No one to see it.
So she began to conceptualize "characters" and "creachers", the original residents of this realm.
"Peercats"
"Octodogs.."
"Mao"
"Myself"
It's a mystery of what truly inspired her to create us. Many of Agathas thoughts and ideas were sacred to all but one. The one character who knew her secrets and the inner workings of her mind.
COUNT ROSENCRANZ
Count Rosencranz was the first character to emerge in Mahou Wando. Capable of free thought and holding conversations, he was the first life she crafted and the first friend she had. Agatha cherished him and taught him about her world and magic. He was intelligent, creative, and created creachers and characters of his very own to play with Agathas. In him, Agatha had found not only an equal to her power, but a true friend and co-writer to her ever-growing tale.
With their powers combined, MahouWando continued to grow with new creachers and characters coming daily.
But as the decades passed by Rosencranz begin to see beyond the realm. He and Agatha began to have creative differences and Rosencranz would often make decisions and changes that Agatha never consented to. Such as, removing characters from their world completely and altering entire areas of her world. As their arguments grew more heated, it created a deep fissure in their relationship, that would erupt into a war. Her characters versus his own. The battle was long and ferocious and many lives were lost. Many original characters were lost to the sea in it.
Agatha had not realized how powerful Rosencranz had become.
She was his creator but also his teacher. He knew her tricks and how she thought.
Her magic alone was not enough to crush his dark rebellion.
So she tried a new trick. She marched to the battlefield with an artifact of her own creation - THE ROSE RUNE. It was a powerful sealing stone crafted with fragments of space, the stars, land, and sea. If she couldn't obliterate him, she would have to trap him instead. With the help of her remaining characters, she defeated and sealed the Count within it.
But...when her victory was imminent, the Count made a promise.
"You SPOILED, UNGRATEFUL BRAT..! You can lock me away now, but one day...! I will return and finish my vision for Mahou Wando!
My physical form may be sealed but..! My spirit will always be watching!!
My dearest Agatha... I KNOW you can't keep this realm together forever. You'll need me... And when you do...this land will know the name of COUNT ROSENCRANZ ONCE AGAIN...!"
Even in the process of being defeated, he wouldn't give up. He used the remnant of his strength to petrify the land. Half of MahouWando was turned to a cold stone. Everything that was thriving- living there creachers and characters... forever sealed.
After the deed was done, there was no celebration.
She silently walked away from us with the rune in hand.
I never learned what she did with that Rune... until a couple of years ago."
