Breaking a Witch and the Twisted Kingdom

[wιтcн]

Breaking a Witch

It is possible to break a female Blood. This is also possible for male Blood. Dorothea SaDiablo was well-known for breaking males. To break a female Blood, it's necessary for her to be shattered from her Jewels. This is most typically done in instances of rape; however, this isn't the only way to break a witch. It's also possible to break a Blood, female or male, by flooding their Jewels with too much power, as Jaenelle Angelline did with Alexandra Angelline. This can be done to any Blood member. For example, anyone with a Jewel darker than White can break a White-Jeweled Blood by their power. This renders the female witch almost nearly powerless, and she must shield herself strongly to avoid being broken. This process can be done for a male Blood, and can be repeated through rape or through some other means of breaking him. The Jewels become shattered, and while Blood can maintain basic Craft, not much else can be done by a shattered Blood. After being broken, Blood are often described as being cold, frail, generally easily frightened, and uncomfortable around large masses of people or around people they do not know. Immediately after being broken, a Blood usually turns to the Twisted Kingdom. The Blood also experience a cobweb-effect feeling in their head, as if their head is stuffed with cobwebs..

The Twisted Kingdom

The Twisted Kingdom is a challenging thing to explain. It's the in-between space between sanity and insanity. Jaenelle Angelline was able to walk the Twisted Kingdom without ever fully entering it; she was able to travel those unknown paths and rescue those inside, bringing them as far to sanity as she could. She led Tersa, Daemon SaDiablo's mother, as far to the edge of the Twisted Kingdom as Tersa was willing to go. Some people are able to walk fully from the Twisted Kingdom, as was the case for Daemon SaDiablo. He was guided out by Witch, given pieces of the Hourglass Craft on his journey, and returned fully to sanity before becoming her Consort. That's not always the case, however; not everyone can or wishes to be rescued from the Twisted Kingdom. Those in the Twisted Kingdom are not easily contained in physical spaces; they talk in rambles, not making much sense to anyone other than them; and are easily frustrated by people not understanding them, refusing to listen, or not being willing to be patient.
