Suddenly it slipped but no one reacted to it,they couldn't . Anyone touched it they were dead that was the power of and one that reached across the land,its power besides death could make time stand still interchange lives and transport a person somewhere he would never return from. and who knew where that would be .' Grab it,' then too yelled Smite but still no one moved,someone told Smite that he wanted it bad enough he get it, he just stood there letting it fall away into a deep hole no one saw coming at all. Smite of course wanted it for himself .There then that were five others with Smite,they all had unique ability and anyone that would fight them or argue with them or make them hostile in any way in fact would find out how hostile they can be too. That's why they were sent here too the land of None and which if a person broke the simplest rule would too be severely punished by the God of Hazebel, the absolute ruler over all. She had the last say in anyone or anything and she too had to obey the rules or be punished too. But Hazebel never broke any rules she knew what would happen.Suddenly the great orb that was the power of Euri suddenly was gone and Smite fell to his knees looking up at the darkening sky overhead he took a deep breath and screamed,' Hazebel I'll get you for this,that orb was my heart my soul, now I have none .' Smite suddenly felt uneasy and yet he to knew what was going too happen now,without his heart he would slowly in fact turn to stone,once he was complete stone nothing or no one could help him .Smite had too get that orb back. His heart was gone now ,the thing that made him alive,gone,breathing it help him without it he was nothing,nothing at all.Smite wanted his heart back, he would do anything to get back at any cost,price was not going to then too be a problem, While Smite was considering how to get his orb or heart back, along the shores of None several boats were landing onshore, these carried those that were too be left in the land of None . This time there were nine more that step off the boats,the boats suddenly turned and started away from the land of None . And one of then these nine was Smite's lover,Straw Straw was a princess who around Smite made everything sparkle and glitter,she then in essence was what made gold d ust or gold,she was the true meaning of what it was like to be a legend in a fairy tale She was not only goldust itself she was the one that had to made the stars twinkle in the night sky overhead when we watch them appear .Straw and the other eight heard about None but only in rumor and story not fact ,but here it was and they had just stepped on it . Straw started to study her new place of resident as she and the other eight were sent here in fact because they then diasagreed with Hazebel and that was then the biggest sin here you do next to just doing or breaking one of her laws .Smart then had loved Smite and in fact she was going to deliver soon that was why she was here,too let him know and help Smite to overcome his fears that he still had,especially the one about being himself. Fears about being different and she too knew what it was like to be different . They all did here .But to the others they were different but not to Straw she behaved like they were all normal not in a bit different at all, being different should not make a person bad or being afraid of that person. Being different is just that,being who you are . You are the only you in the universe and that's all that matters too Straw and that's how everyone else should be to .Then the one she had to teach about that especially was Smite himself he too was afraid of being who he was,just Smite,don't be someone your not that doesn't make you better then everyone else does.Straw was happy being herself,she never pretended to be who she wasn't at all.Now like the others Straw's problem here was returning where she was originally up in the night sky making the stars twinkle for everyone to then enjoy,she originally came to Earth too see what the talk was about this world,especially from Smite and his friends telling Straw everything in fact they knew about Earth that was why she was here . She had to get up there to make the stars twinkle again Hazebel's magic was strong but there had too be a way to break that magic or just use something else too remove the power from it . Hazebel had to be stop but the only people that seemed to realize that were those put in the land of None by Hazebel and no one ever then  attempted to challenge her or too try and take her crown from her,they believe the magic and her power in fact came from the crown she wore .Smite wished that he had grab the orb now he was seriously thinking about going down the hole after it,but no one knew how far down deep it was either . Everyone else had stepped then back and waited . Smite unfortunately thought better of it too. He then joined the others as they had then started moving away from the hole . Some way somehow he would find a way to get his heart back then and somehow to get his only love back too, Straw .Who knew that Smite could love, could even feel . Now too then too however he then felt nothing but emptiness and cold ,though he still had a warm body the stones that were suppose to set in haven't yet and he was glad of that . ' I want my heart back now ,' shouted Smite but the others stopped him he thought of nothing else but then his heart .Damn you Hazebel,damn you too . Now all he had was nothing but hate for that queen bitch everyone else was so fond of too.Then too Smite then knew one day he would come face to face with Hazebel ,one day he will face her and she better be on her guard when he did face her .Until that day he would ready himself and prepare himself when he would challenge Hazebel . And she would not stand a chance .In then the meantime ,then deep beneath the castle that she lived in, Hazebel was in fact standing before a cauldron then too and watching what was happening inside of it,images appearing before her . She then too saw what happened too .Smite and the others and she was laughing,' It will all come out in the end ,' she then smiled as she saw how hurt Smite was.It made her feel better when others were hurt especially those that she cared about,especially her sons and daughter that she had falling away from and it was them was why Hazebel was so mean but she didn't in fact know how too care for others,she never did except once when she had given birth too her only daughter ,but no one ever knew that she had children if anyone did,mostly her then enemies, they would use that against her,and she swore she never let that happen,never . She wasn't inhuman after all, she did have a heart .Time there then was before Smite,before Hazebel and even Straw,this was when the land was still young,no good vs evil,those concepts hadn't in fact even been thought of . Then the land of None had not even been thought of . The king was name Wayward the father of Hazebel who at this time was a baby still, but even now,she had the powers that would grow into more then just moving marbles around or toy dolls she to had,her mother was the one that knew this,her mother even knew then how much that a person like Haebel would become .Wayward was the opposite of Hazebel now,he was kind,gentle but ruled with a firm hand , and he had those that wanted to dethroned him. Yet in fact these enemies were few that too then because no one ever challenged Wayward. And too then  Wayward up to this date, was the longest running king in fact anyone then knew of or heard about . 

 Wayward then loved his family,to him at least his family was paramount in fact except for ruling the kingdom his family was the most important thing in the life of King Wayward . His then children,then his wife in that order.He would do anything to protect his children, at any price.Those then he loved were most importabt to Wayward and those he knew and cared about were ever hurt or harm by anyone or anything Heaven help them.Wayward would punished those that hurt those he loved and they too better pray to any God or Gods they believed in . Wayward had then a then firm hand but he could be humane just like anyone else could he knew that .Wayward was taught hard by his own father who turned out to be nothing more then a blacksmith and rthen he was pleased the way Wayward came out as he grew older he matured into the person he was now . Wayward had then the  greatest teacher too ever ,his father of course .Wayward then had copied everything his father did and learn that might was not too always right, thinking that out of a fight if one could was a better way too be taught . And Wayward was going to teach his children what he was taught if the arrival of her didn't change all that and he too was thinking of the evil witch Ezra who came to his kingdom as she was asking for children,he asked her why she needed children but she didn't answer him . She then only smiled too ,' I want your children now.' He refused and using her dark magic orb she  she summoned up the undead ,zombies and no matter where they were in the kingdom in fact they took them away from Wayward and his children were gone,all except for Hazebel. For then some reason the evil witch did not take her and Wayward hated himself for what happened he was sworn to protect all those in his kingdom even his family but he didn't ,he lost them .  Wayward had started too withdraw from the kingdom,without his children he didn't want to keep the throne any more ,he hated it now .

In four years then Wayward ruled as King,in that time no one complain said anything about how he ruled or his family, that is until witch Ezra came.After the fourth year of his reign he stepped down as King, but since his children were gone he had no heir to the throne so they had turned too the Queen, his wife to be next in line,She was Queen Sarah, Wayward turned too being a blacksmith after his reign and his life was that of ease,as though it should be after being King,but in the back of his mind was the presence of Ezra and how she had  took his children by the use of black magic or the black orb . He thentoo never understood magic but if it was used correctly magic of any sort was a powerful tool too behold. It too could crumble a castle in seconds,unleash dragons then that were powerful then and too dangerous, but then magic could heal the sick,the injured make kingdoms better then they were and Wayward was always that to  concern about it. But who woulkdn't be. 
 
Ezra was then not as witches go,ugly by any means her nose was not long or pointed up, her face was as a matter of fact pretty , she then had  too did wear black clothing but thats as far as anything then goes witch related that went . She did have her own castle but it was painted black and gray ,then to zombies were her guard,the unwanted like herself,then rats,snakes,other creatures no one care for were the citizens of her kingdom, like mummies or ghosts or even a vampire or two that were here . 

 But she ruled over them all, her Kingdom had had a name it was called the Kingdom of the Black Stones,where it was said was the place of the origins of the orbs themselves . But then too  with the zombies she had as guard of the Kingdom she had every confident that her Kingdom was safe too and in good hands as well. Still there were those that fought for good for right and would fight her,and she always had to be ready too. 
 

Her name was Astry she was the sister to Ezra,a witch too,but she was more of the everday witch,she to lived in a dark and gloomy woods,her house was made of magic,black magic of course  then she would too use a broom but not to fly,she hated flying. And she to  hated children,but  for a different reason. 

 Astry was alone in this part of the world as far as witches went and it was said that was why she was so mean because she  all the time. In fact she then too hated children so much she disguised her house as something that children would love to eat and then as they nibble on the house she trapped the children and placed them in a boiling pot,she loved to eat fresh meat and bone . In her years Astry was now almost eighty and she was tired and in fact so tired that once she created her house she never left it . That's why she ate children,they were easy to lure and she ddn't have to go too the market either . Some markets around here were too far for her to walk. 

 And then Astry was one of the meanest witches ever and she loved the taste of flesh it made her more meaner then before .She then  loathed other witches who pretended to be one but wasn't . Especially the gooded to shoes she loathed them too. And yet there was a sense of irony how she stayed ugly while the others change their appearences to beauty.and that was the problem there once you change you can't go back too.

 Meanwhile then too as Astry contemplated what she would do to the next children that came by,in another part of the land a lonely spider in a nestled part of some rocks it discovered to make it's web suddenly discovered it was not alone any more here . As then the  spider finished it's web then , one of the rocks in fact seemingly moved and it opened a small part of it which was it's mouth ,a yellow tongue then too came out and grab the spider,then the too  rock swallow then the  spider and then turned back into a rock. 

 These rocks then too were once created by Ezra too do things she would never do,like slaves,and then they stopped doing what she told them too do and so suddenly she was forced to banished them into this land . Ezra had done everything she could in doing things bad as it were and yet even in your heart and soul, no one saw her turning good any time soon or having a change of heart . Ezra was a bad one and she liked it like that too. It was her way and she knew it,who wanted to be good ? You couldn't hurf anone or cause anyone any pain, she wouldn't make mayhem or destruction either . Erza hated everyone equally and she just hated children more because they reminded her about how her life could had been or what if her mother had lived what then ?

 Erza had barely images of her life before now, nothing then was before now ,now was all that mattered . Erza made sure that nothing bothered or disturbed that now,no matter if it was good or bad,her very importance of being was all that matter,she then too was the most important thing in the universe anything or anyone else did not matter to Erza  Nothing as far as she was concerned ,everything else became secondary . Erza then would even sacrifice her own family to keep on living . She then to would even kill, she had in fact kill before,she laughed it seem so easy at the time . Killing that was ,she even enjoyed hunting for her food . Though sometimes she just used magic and killed the animal she hunted,she never used guns or knives of any kind . 

 Then the  land was plentiful when it was created and no one was here except for a few that appeared as they called themselves the Firsts since they were here before anyone else. There were five of them to begin with ,two women three men all middle age muscular built so they could tend the land and attractive as well. All had names that seemed too fit them too. There was Build who loved to build things which was goo he could too build houses and things to live in, then there was Fabric who could to make clothing they were out of straw and grass,then there was Hed he was the leader of these people of the First,,then was Calcul who was good with numbers like math and things when you needed to multiply or add or subtract, then to the final was Woman,aptly too name because her own body fit her description perfectly . And they too were the founders of this land of magic of legends of tales woven and lies too behold before you . 

 At first the founders had nothing to be concerned about,they tended the land as best they could and each did his job accordingly yet one day a stranger had entered the land, she then tempted the other men of the group and her name will just be known as Sinul because no matter what she did she would cause others around her to cause trouble or sin and yet  they didn't have much of a group too colonize this land, they accepted Sinul as part of the group then too and potential mate for the men of the group. Though it was obvious that fricition between Sinul and too then  the other women would had sooner or later but then they all stayed together because they had a job too do. 

 Meanwhile then in the present Ezra suddenly had a thought, and not a nice thought either, she thought of ways of hurting children better how she could make them suffer more .Her mind was becoming warped in fact even more so then before . And even too she hated then the  other witches even more then she hated children . She was going to hurt them too . Why be a good witch when being a mean one is more fun she had thought too herself . 

 As then too Smite and the rest of the group walked away from the hole that his orb fell in he suddenly felt his body  to get hard as he stop for an instant and turn around he wanted to go back so bad he thought . And they urged him to continue as they were comcerned for him. But he look like something else was bothering him, but what? Deep within his soul, Smite felt then  something, the only time he felt this way was when he was ever close to Straw,it was called for the most part love,but he had to be close to her to feel that way,he then had an uncanny feeling that Straw had an encounter with Hazebel and she too must be here in the land of None. But where was she now,None was a stretched out land as far as anyone could see . None then was so big as far as land masses were concern when you try looking for a horizon or where the end of None in fact stopped no one knew ,a map or chart of None was never made to because it was so massive in size .
