And here I am!

After popping out of the portal she found herself in an unknown land, she didn't know where to look or what Zita even looked like since she'd never see her or asked for a description, which she should have but was too busy having a good time with her uncle; so she was here and kinda lost at the same time.

'I wonder where she'd be? Does she do the same thing uncle does? Is she a tree as well?"

She had so many questions in such a short time, she started to wonder about in thought; she started to think that maybe she'd never get a chance to see Zita since she didn't know what she looked like. However, she soon snapped out of it and did what she did with uncle and just shouted her name out since it was the best option honestly.

"ZITA! OR RATHER GRANDMA ZITA!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!!???"

Out of the blue, Shuchi would be greeted with an image projected from a magical cube covered in keyholes that hovered over the Witch Province. This image was of Zita in her original form -- her 0th Restriction -- which was the Head Witch of the Witch Province. She donned her bladed witch's hat and her revealing dominatrix attire with coattails at the end of it, plus her dual black gloves and boots that went up to her elbows and knees. She hovered in midair gazing at the new face that wasn't a Witchling, calling her grandma.

"Who are YOU calling grandma, cuuuute little girl?"

Zita was still just as beautiful as an 18 year old girl, despite being both 1,000 years old and an image of the real Tzita. Her breasts were large and perky; voluptuous, even. Her skin was smooth and silky; plush, one could say. Calling her 'grandma' was definitely the wrong word, and it made her feel a little agitated.

"In fact, who are you, anyway, to refer to the Head Witch like that? Have you no respect for me?"

The image of Zita would cross her arms as she floated in midair, kicking a leg up over the other and reclining in the air.

"Ehhh, I'm Shuchi, your brother sent me here, he's also my uncle and that makes you my grandma since you're my mother's adopted mother!"

She wasn't sure how this would go since she was clearly feeling the weight of her words as if they were actually crushing her under their weight; she didn't know if Zita would even believe what she was saying since she had no actual proof to back it up and her uncle Khrona was super smart so it was no shocker that he picked up of who she was. 

"I'm sorry gran...I mean Zita, I didn't mean to offend you or anything; I just really wanted to see you since you and your brother and well...the rest of your family are the only family I have that I never knew."

She lowered her head a bit and pouted since she hated the fact that her mother never told her anything or even spent time with her in any way, shape or form.

Zita continued to hover in midair, pondering what had just been said to her, stroking her chin a bit. "Hmmmm... Khrona, eh...?" Zita was aware of what Khrona had done long ago, and if this was the offspring of that brat Chusin, Zita wasn't expecting much from her.

"You're her daughter, right?" Zita inquired. "So, why don't you act like her? You seem to be a lot more... What's the word...? Respectful?"

Zita still did not like the fact that she was a grandmother now, especially since her actual blood daughter didn't have any children, except for one that came from the future, but nobody talked about that, in all honesty. It was a hassle to explain, since the Future Daughter also came from a different dimension.

"Just don't call me 'granny' okay? I'm really only 1,000 years old, which is young for a witch." Witches lived a very long time, and Zita hadn't aged a day since she was 18 years old, over 1,000 years ago. She'd seen some things and been through some things that made others respect her like an elder, but she in no way acted like one.

"I have no idea how my mother was or currently is, she never talked or bother to raise me, I was left in the hands of a stranger and that was that; she never even care enough to show her face after she gave birth to me...So I guess my traits are my own in a sense I guess."

Shuchi didn't know what Chusin was like since they never spent a day together whatsoever, so she was curious and confused at the same time since she wanted to know more about her mother and yet wanted her mother to be the one to show her what she was like first hand; she wondered in thought for a moment before snapping back to reality and looking at Zita and how cool she looked with her outfit and stuff.

"Wow, grandma Zita you're so o...well aged for 1,000 years old! I don't know how old I am honestly, so I can't tell you my exact age at the moment haha."

She was really happy that she got to meet her grandmother, she was quite the looker and everything she was hoping she'd be like from what little she knew about grandmothers since her family tree is all types of random. As for her age problem, she didn't know how old she was since on the day of her birth she was kind just tossed out and left to grow up with her step sister who's age was also weird since she never actually aged.

"Can we hang out or have a sleep over! Ooooo, how about I do your hair and you can do mines!? We could paint our nails and look really pretty and gloss about hehe."

Shuchi had a distorted view of what people were like since where she grew up was full of nothing but the worst type of people of all kinds, if you can think it, she grew up around it and her mental idea of fun was twisted in some ways. However, she did know about stuff girls did, not women since she only spent time with her little step sister and no actual women.

"Eeee, it'll be fun, so what do yah say grandma Zita?"

Zita listened to the sad story of Shuchi and thought about how Chita was raised. It was similar to Shuchi, but at the same time, Chita could at least come to see Zita whenever she wanted... And Chita was aged by her brother, Khrona, to the age of 333 (which was young for a witch). They had their animosity between each other and there might have still been some angst that wasn't properly handled... Zita remembered vividly that day when her daughter became the better witch... and better woman. It was something that actually finally weighed heavily on Zita's heart, now that she wasn't the infamous 'Blackheart' like she used to be. The Crystal Heart gave her the power to love like no other, and with the blood of the Crystal Heart that also gave life to the Crystal Tree in its own way, Zita could show Shuchi that same type of warmth and love and care and affection.

"Awwww, poor baby," Zita said. "But I told you, DON'T call me GRANDMA." She huffed. "Or any form of the word. Just call me... Zita." She couldn't stand the fact that she'd gotten so 'old' so to speak, but technically, as a witch of over 1,000, she could have had it a lot worse. She could have been a great great great great GREAT grandmother, like her own grandmother was, of whom she was the heiress of.

"Hm? You want to do girly things with me?" Zita inquired a bit frazzled. "Well, sure, I guess, but don't go messing up my gorgeous good looks or anything. I don't keep myself looking this way for no reason, after all." There was only ONCE in Zita's life where she actually LOOKED like she was 1,000 years old, and she HATED it. "Khrona, your great uncle, did that to me ONE time, and that was all it took..." Zita had ZERO tolerance for not looking good. Zero Tolerance.

"Fine, fine, we can do all of that, but only if you stop calling my 'grandma.' Call me... 'Yaya'. It's 'grandma' in like Russian or something." It made Zita feel better about herself. "Yaya will do." She heard in a movie once that Yayas were never wrong, and she could get used to that, since she wasn't for the whole 'granny' thing.

"And beyond that," Zita went on, "I'm only a hologram. The real Tzita isn't here, so there isn't much you can do to my image or appearance that won't just overwrite itself and reset back to my default appearance... Which is this." The Magical Cube that kept the Witch Province populated with Zita's Witchlings and other creatures was from history -- it always flashed back to the first days of Zita gathering her Witchlings to the Witch Mass, when Zita was a younger Head Witch. She'd already been the Head Witch for a very long time, but she had been most active after she helped her brother Khrona out with his being leader of his village back in the days of the Reality. It seemed like so long ago, and now, here they were; the Reality was the Veritas now. Reality became Truth.

"If you like, I can take you to my real body, but you have to solve the Magical Cube first and also go along with a mission that she's doing." Those were the only stipulations for Tzita, as it currently stood. "Do you think you can solve the Magical Cube? With my help, it should be easy for you. It's not everyday that the Head Witch of the Witch Province helps out anyone in that fashion, since the Magical Cube is made for not being solved." It was to keep invaders out. No one was supposed to know that it was able to project the past to the present infinitely, and that Zita was its eternal protector. "When you solve it, it will reset itself, but you'll be granted your wish as a prize for solving it."

"Solve a cube?"

She didn't know exactly what a cube was since she never had formal education or anything, she didn't even know how to read for that matter and only knew how to talk since she had a lot of time to learn that much, however, she wouldn't let that stop her! She was ready even if she didn't know what to do, she'd give it her best try; she wasn't going to be a quitter like her mother whom was always on her mind rather it be in a good light or a bad light truth be told.


"Well, Yaya, I'm ready to solve this cube thing!"


This was her chance to showcase what little she knew about things even if it wasn't much, she wanted to impress Zita more than anything, you could call it a latching on type of thing since Zita showed her just enough affection that she got hooked and wanted to do her best at everything from her on out.

"That's what Yaya likes to hear!" Zita said with a smile, shifting from her reclined position to a position where she was on her stomach instead of on her back. "Now, The First Thing You Must Do Is Go To The Witch Province And Find Out About The Magical Cube, Which Is Done Right Here And Now. That Will Unlock The First Lock." Zita was going to tell her about the parts of the Magical Cube so that the first Lock would unlock itself and allow for transportation to the Second lock.

"There Are 6 Locks, Because It Is A Cube," she began to say, "The First Lock Is On The Witch Province, Itself. The Fact That You Are Here Means That One Will Unlock Automatically. The Second One Is On The Bloodrose Manor, Which Belongs To The Blood Witches, And It Resides In The 'Darkness Lands'. You Must Go To The 'Darkness Lands' That Swallow Up A Portion Of The Witch Province And Visit The Bloodrose Manor. The Third Lock Is On The Witch Mass Meeting Hall, Which You Can Unlock By Visiting It And Seeing The Head Witch -- Myself -- For A Mission. The Fourth Lock Is On Myself, Which Is A Training Session To Test Your Abilities After You Get There. The Fifth Lock Is On The Divine Arc Gate That Keeps This World Hidden From All Other Worlds, Which You Must Use To Travel Back Through The Veritas Through It. The Final Lock Is On My House, Which You Will Meet Me At Once You Unlock The Other Five Locks. Then, And Only Then Will The Magical Cube Be Solved And You Will Have All Of The History Of The Witch Province, So You'll Have Learned A Lot From It."

Last Zita remembered, she had her own faction of people doing things with the Magical Cube and they hadn't even gotten started with it, so Shuchi could join them. She pointed to a group of people who were nearby, saying, "You See Them? They Are Unlocking The Magical Cube And Will Help You. I Will Inform Them That You Are Part Of Their Party, And They Will Protect You And Be Your Friends And Whatever." Zita shrugged.

"Think You Can Handle That, Shuchi?"

"Well, I mean I suppose I can, it does seem like a lot of work but I do wanna see you in person and if this is what I have to do in order to do that than so be it."

She didn't think that she'd be able to do these things since she didn't know anyone here and even if they did help her, what if they were just using her to get the cube solved for themselves since that's what most if not all people did back in her little nest she called a home since it was do or die in so many other words. It would seem that she was caught between two options which were work with others to make it go faster or do it herself and make it take longer; she thought about this for a minute or two and the best course of action was to work together but keep an eye on everyone.

"Alright, let's give this a shot! Nothing will stop me from getting to you! Nothing!"

She was siked up a bit as she braced herself for the coming challenge!
