Meeting a Ominous Witch Hat

Chapter 1 Meeting a Ominous Witch Hat "I want to be immortal." That sentence is one that all who wield magic say, Kailey has said this sentence many times during her life of trials and tribulations. One day Kailey a magic apprentice, stumbled upon a desolate ruin searching for a magic technique to cure her curse! as she examined the exterior of the ruins, she found out the stone surrounding the entrance was covered in tons of abstract illusion runes! After examining the entrance for a while Kailey decided to enter the ruins. She walked down countless flights of uneven cracked stone stairs, as she continued down the stairs strange lights started appearing surrounding Kailey. The stairway once dark only illuminated by Kailey's lantern, was now illuminated with countless colorful lights! While Kailey was examining the mysterious lights, her consciousness suddenly blacked out. When Kailey's consciousness returned she found herself lying in a fetal position inside a tube filled with liquid, as she searched around to find any clues on a way out of the mysterious tube she spotted a strange-looking witch hat on a table eating! Kailey gasped in shock choking on the liquid in the tube feeling like a gelatinous substance similar to the outer layer of an innocuous slime. The witch hat noticing the commotion swiftly hopped over to a group of control panels with runes that would have been able to pioneer the next generation of magic users with its complexity and never before seen theories. as the witch hat deftly imbued magic into the groundbreaking runes, the liquid surrounding Kailey was dispersing flowing out of the tube and onto the chamber ground coagulating into a monstrous slime towering over Kailey then shrinking down to the size of the nearby witch hat. While the liquid in the tube holding Kailey began liquifying and streaming out of the tube. Kailey started thinking of ways to escape this unknown place, she tried breaking the tube with her bare hands, but after trying for a while she remembered she could use magic! then started incanting a spell to break out of the rapidly draining tube, but the energy in Kailey's blood and energy circuits were depleted only having enough for useless physical movement. when she started to despair the strange witch hat started making an unintelligible noise toward Kailey causing the energy circuits in her body to go wild! Unable to properly manipulate the energy in her body this caused her to be unable to move as if she were paralyzed.
