For a moment, Axel felt his body become weightless. As if he were inside an airplane that started a sudden dip. A weird sensation.
When the flash of light faded and the sense of gravity returned, he slowly opened his eyes.
And... he was shocked.
"Whoa..."
The place he landed was a closed space, with walls of white marble and glowing stones as lighting fixtures. It was way too different from the "dark" image he had of witches!
"Huh?"
But as he began looking around, he noticed an anomaly.
He wasn't standing inside a magic circle or anything similar, but rather in about waist-deep water. Of course, he found it weird. Why would someone set the scroll's destination in such a place?
As he looked around, he noticed even more anomalies.
Firstly, Queen Wisteria and her elite witches were nowhere to be seen. Secondly, he wasn't alone in the room. There were about two dozen women, most likely witches, staring at the "intruder" with surprise.
A gaze mixed with shock and playfulness...
