Prelude of the Gods
----------------------------------------
The Celestial Anomaly:
In a world where the boundaries of reality are as malleable as the will of the gods, a celestial event of unprecedented magnitude occurs. The nations of Eylstadt and Germania, previously bound only by the threads of fate in different universes, find themselves suddenly and inexplicably intertwined with the realm of Being X.
This extraordinary event, heralded by a blinding flash of light, ripples through the very fabric of their existence, casting a shadow of bewilderment and caution over the inhabitants of both realms.
Era of Uncertainty:
During this period of cosmic upheaval, Izetta, the last witch of Eylstadt, finds herself in the mists of a period of convalescence. The intersection of her world with that of Tanya von Degurechaff, a young girl reincarnated by Being X into a world of war and strife, marks the beginning of an era filled with uncertainty and wonder.
Newspapers around the globe teem with headlines, each attempting to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon. Yet, beneath the surface of these speculative stories, a deeper truth remains concealed, known only to the few who can peer beyond the veil of reality.
The event had not only geographically linked Eylstadt and Germania but had also heralded the arrival of these nations into a world governed by Being X. This cosmic intervention was a puzzle piece in a much grander scheme, one that was about to unfold in unforeseen ways.
The Celestial Conversation:
High above the planet, in a realm beyond the comprehension of mortals, stands Odinson, The Allfather, and Emmanuel, The God Conjurer. These two enigmatic entities, each powerful and mysterious in their own right, engage in a dialogue fraught with cosmic significance.
The Allfather, a figure of ancient wisdom and universal oversight, listens as The God Conjurer, a being capable of shaping destinies, reveals his subtle manipulations in the grand designs of Being X.
The Tapestry of Fate:
The God Conjurer speaks with a tone that blends mischief with deep intrigue, hinting at the delicate alterations he has made to the tapestry of fate. "With a gentle nudge here, a slight alteration there, the course of their destinies has been irrevocably altered," he declares. His words hint at a spectacle of multiversal proportions, one that promises to shake the foundations of the worlds involved.
The Allfather, his gaze penetrating the boundaries of space and time, acknowledges the significance of these actions. "The threads of destiny are intertwined in ways beyond our foresight," he muses. "Your actions have set into motion events that will challenge the very essence of these worlds."

Amidst a boundless stretch of emerald, where the open field whispered its sylvan secrets on the breeze, Major Tanya von Degurechaff surveyed her battalion with a keen, unwavering gaze. The troops, an array of disciplined silhouettes, stood in silent testament to her meticulous command.
Beyond the military tableau, the landscape unfurled—a vast tapestry of nature, punctuated by the vivid stipple of wildflowers. It was in this unmarred sanctuary that Izetta, hailed as the last of the witches, traced arcs of flight, her presence a delicate contradiction to the heavy hand of war below. To an unsuspecting onlooker, she might appear as a sprite, her lithe form cutting through the azure like a feather on the wind.
A shard of light captured her attention, drawing her eyes upward. Aloft, a silhouette danced against the sky's expanse, its movements the very embodiment of grace. A comet's tail of stardust traced its path, as if the heavens themselves were charting her course.
With a tactical eye, Major Degurechaff discerned the distant figure. Petite, almost nymph-like, she navigated the skies with an unassuming might, a rifle in her embrace—a stark juxtaposition that flickered through Tanya's mind, a momentary image of a white mouse flitting through a field.
As Izetta descended, the murmurs of man's war encroached upon the serenity of her flight. The stark uniforms of soldiers broke her view, centered by a figure whose fierce countenance could only belong to Tanya Degurechaff.
Tanya's eyes, sharp as the edge of a blade, followed the descending figure, now christened in her mind as "The Little Mouse Witch." Izetta, with a grace that belied her sudden anxiety, touched down, her presence on the grass as light as her flight had been.
Confronted with the reality of a military encampment, Izetta's pulse quickened. An attempt to ascend was thwarted by the clarity of her discovery; Tanya's gaze was upon her.
Tanya, her approach heralded by the crisp sound of boots on earth, fixed her eyes on this anomaly. "Halt! Identify yourself," she demanded, her voice the embodiment of command.
Izetta, her nerves cloaked in composure, replied with a feigned nonchalance, "I meant no trespass. The day's beauty carried me away."
A moment passed, the air taut with unspoken questions. "You encroach upon a military domain. Did you not know this?" Tanya's voice was a lance, seeking truth.
With a nervous glance, Izetta responded quickly, "I didn't realize this was off-limits. I'll leave right away."
Tanya's nod held a commander's authority; her voice was firm but not unkind. "Next time, stay clear of conflict zones. It's not safe for civilians."
With a silent benediction, Izetta reclaimed the air, her departure swift, leaving behind the silent soldiers and the enigma of their encounter.
Tanya, alone now but for her battalion, pondered the spectacle of a sorceress astride a rifle. Reality, it seemed, had unveiled a facet unimagined, stirring a whisper of doubt in the mind of the unflappable Major.
Her troops, witness to their leader's rare hesitation, remained silent, their shared confusion unvoiced.
Tanya lingered in the aftermath, her thoughts a maelstrom of logic and wonder. This breach of reality, this defiance of military doctrine, challenged the very foundations of her world.
For a brief moment, Tanya allowed herself to grapple with the incongruence between this world and her past life as a managerial office worker.
In that previous existence, the sight of a civilian bearing arms, albeit unusual, wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility, nor would their accidental foray into a militarized zone.
Tanya's mind sought to reconcile Izetta's inadvertent intrusion with these memories, merged now with the understanding that in this world, the arcane was interlaced with the everyday.
Yet, as Tanya watched the witch disappear across the horizon, questions lingered. How could Izetta fly without any discernible military gear? And the speed at which she maneuvered, using just a rifle as her mode of transport, was perplexing.
The encounter left Tanya with more questions than answers, but with a mental shrug. She refocused herself on the realm of strategy and command, the day's peculiar interlude archived in the annals of her ceaseless campaign.
The perplexing event would be archived within Tanya's mind, yet another oddity in a world that was becoming increasingly complex and unfathomable.
