Wake up.

...

Wake up.

...

Wake up!

"...!!" I jump.

Ow... my head. I blink several times. What is this? Where am I? I pull my arms. I wince. There are these vines tangling them. Chaining them. Chaining me. I look down and I see blackness. Branches like snakes.

I light myself on fire and look around in the light. Is this a cave? There's stone and branches in a sphere around me. What is happening? I tug on my hand again. I pull the other one. No can trap me. No one can stop fire or rage. I refuse to be trapped! I explode in flames.

"It is useless to struggle." A voice says.

More vines grab my arms. I see green energy blooming from them. I wince as the fire dims around me. I let out a breath. Who said that? I look around. A figure swims over to me. I look at the creature. She had a feminine figure but her... face, it was masked by stone and green energy gleamed through it. Her hair was long and green. It seemed to flow like mine. She had horns. My eyes narrow.

"So... you're a demon?" I ask.

"And so are you boy. I prefer to think of myself as a Wūpó." She says.

"Heh... a witch?" I ask.

She nods.

"Doesn't matter what you call yourself, I'm going to beat you either way." I spit.

"Oh? And how will you do that chained? Humor me." She laughs.
