Witch Card
アニメーションの魔女。 その性質は従事。 この魔女は週に一度、自身の結界でもある沼へ身を投げる。 その体は油のような七色の夢となり水面に広がるが、落水時に現れる波紋こそが魔女の本体。 また、この魔女の結界に呑まれた者は七色の夢を呼吸することでしか生存を許されない。 眠らぬ体と溶けない時間、この魔女の望みは呪い と共に成就した。 魔女は40年の間、やがては消える七色の夢と果てるため幾度も身を投げ続ける。

The witch of animation. Her nature is occupation. This witch hurls herself into a swamp that doubles as her Labyrinth once every week. Her body turns into oil-like rainbow dreams and spreads across the water's surface, but the witch's true form is actually the ripples that appear as she splashes down. Also, those who've been swallowed by this witch's Labyrinth are only permitted to live by inhaling the rainbow dreams. With a body that doesn't sleep and time that doesn't melt away, this witch's desire was achieved together with a curse. For 40 years, this witch has plunged herself in time and time again, in order to meet her end with the rainbow dreams that will one day vanish. | ||||||||||
