((ANDY, I'M TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK IF YOU WANT GET IN HERE OTHERWISE EDIT IT??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL =P))
Enough was enough. Lilith was impatient, everyone was impatient.
And Trucido was useless.
That was probably the thing that angered Lilith the most at the moment, was realizing that she'd been blinded by her own stupid yet simple goals as a woman nearing the age of "too old to have children" that she never fully saw that she married a man who wasn't...
Dare she say it? It was hard enough to think it, let alone admit it even.
Was it true that Trucido really was wrong for her? No, that was stupid for her to think. He'd been so kind to her, always buying her gifts. Yet the man definitely had an aggravating attention deficit disorder that Lilith couldn't truly ignore.
She rushed into it, she rushed into it all. The relationship as a whole, the marriage, and now the children. It was hard enough trying to keep Trucido's focus in the marriage (though admittedly since their wedding and the birth of Waldron and Ayla he'd been doing better) but recently it seriously felt like he was all over the place with his position as the Sumata leader.
The heroes were doing nothing but getting stronger. Things were getting intense, and Lilith felt that Trucido was doing nothing himself but running from battles and slipping with his trust and overall productivity. What was worse was that Lilith was linked to him as being just as useless--worse, even. Not a single person took her seriously anymore.
It'd only be a matter of time before her own kingdom saw this and began to think differently of her. She'd spent time with the Mother Tree before coming to the Witch's Forest; she prayed, prayed with all her heart for forgiveness. Perhaps getting involved with Trucido was wrong--she couldn't change it now.
For the first time in over a year did she hear a response from the Mother Tree, one of sympathy and worry, a clear message:
'Don't go back to Trucido. Stay with me and separate from the world until you are calm, my child. You are dangerous to others and yourself in this state.'
Lilith didn't listen. She turned, emotions flailing and stormed further into the enchanted forest.
She also couldn't let go the things she'd had to face so far in this whole war, the people who stood defiantly in front of her as well as those who murdered her family. Specifically for her family she cursed the Loque family - Vincent Loque would die by her hands if it was the last thing she did. All of them would.
She wanted her family back. She hated being told she was useless, she hated not being taken seriously, she hated being mocked by the others and she hated the heroes even more for their interference. She hated Andy Jammer for his god damn interference with justice.
Lilith clutched her hands and paced around the forest. Vincent Loque could wait. Jammer had to die first. If Trucido wasn't enough of a real man to do it then she'd be the real leader and do it herself. THEN she'd have a little f***ing respect for once; she should have been leading the Sumata from the start to begin with.
Lilith breathed deeply, an angry and creeping aura forming around her. It was dark, her true plant witch powers rose abnormally high with her emotions. The grass even bent out of its way to try to make room for her to march through the forest.
"Where is he? Find him for me," she spoke in almost a whisper but the forest heard her loud and clear.
Despite the Mother Tree's pleading again, she'd made up her mind and was now out for blood again, waiting for the forest to meet her demands and find the boy so she could bury another body.

Andy was with Jasmine, of course, the mess in Guasto left them tired and weary. Sitting down on a rock, there were in the plains that separated Guasto and Alberisato.
"Zelos betrayed the Sumata? Why?" he wondered aloud, he didn't think the Sumata of Death could turn to the other side. He was too used to the man trying to attack him and his friends.

Jasmine sat beside Andy, quiet the whole time as he pondered. Indeed, things had gotten...weird in Guasto, with Zelos ejecting himself from the Sumata entirely and then the battle with the Crepusculum queen and Trucido. Inside it made Jasmine feel proud of herself, sticking with her grandmother and helping through the battle though, odd for the girl to feel this way as usually her grandmother started more trouble.
Through her own training though Jasmine had started to feel more confident in herself and capable with her own magic usage. Before it was just pray now and then and read from a spellbook. Now her spirituality was her life, everything came from the gods and the book was more than just a spellbook written in a different language--it was a bible, her soul, her life.

Lilith stopped in her tracks, shocked that the report from her own plantlife came to her so quickly.
'He's already here.' Lilith listened carefully and let the forest guide her out, taking her towards the Guasto border. The entire area around her came to life with every step she took, the forest covering itself in its own creeping glow.
His back was to her, the girl was with him. Lilith smiled to herself as nothing could claim it as murder, they were both in her land and already up for a trial in Alberisato anyway.
Giving a silent signal, her army of vines sprung up from the ground around the two children and reached out to try to capture them. Bulb-like monsters climbed out of the dirt all around them as well, almost creating a little wall to prevent an easy escape.
"Well well, you little b****. I'm surprised you have the audacity to step into the borders of a country where you and that oaf of a father of yours are to be executed," Lilith spoke obnoxiously as she stepped towards them, her attention turning to Andy, "and you could have just stayed out of it. Wouldn't it have just been easier for you to walk away and let justice be?"

Andy was in the middle of trying to sort out this whole mess....when a whole mess of vines shot out around him and her. Andy managed to grab his sword when the wines wrapped around him, so he was stuck but at least he had his hand on his blade.
"What the hell?!" he roared, trying to shake away from the vines. His answer came swiftly at Lilith's voice, who he struggled against the vines as he she spoke. Once she was finished he felt his anger rise, his fists clenched around the plant ropes as he yelled.
"Justice?! Since when do you know anything about Justice! You murdered a woman in cold blood, without thought or feeling of those who knew her! Is that justice?! Killing without thought or feeling, creating more pain instead of easing it?!"

Lilith narrowed her eyes, stepping around to face Andy.
"You don't know a damn thing, do you?! 'Eye for an eye' - that is how it's always been here! You preach about killing a woman without any thought about who knew her, tell that to that wench's husband and see how far that gets you, you wretched little beast!" she snapped at the boy, enjoying the moment of being the one in power. No one was going to mock her again.
A couple of Lilith's monsters approached Andy while she had him (reasonably) still, baring sharp venom-filled teeth and thorny claws ready to maul him with.
"Put the sword down, it'll be a lot less painful," Lilith demanded. While she had the chance she'd deal with the boy, he'd be more of a problem if she dawdled.
Now if only Trucido could have seen this - THIS was how you were supposed to deal with these hero problems. Just get to the damn point and quit playing around and running away from the fight.

"I- wait what? Vincent?" Andy stopped, his eyes widened, "What do you mean? How do you know Vincent and what does he have to do with this?"
As he spoke he kept an eye on the creatures, already formulating a plan to break free of the vines.

"You don't know? Well, no wonder this has been nothing but hell," Lilith scowled, growing more aggravated by the second, "to begin with, a one Vincent Loque trespassed into sacred land in Alberisato. Upon demanding he leave he refused, picking a fight with one of my most trusted captains. He murdered her, I poisoned him, he escaped and remains alive somehow."
Her voice softened only a little as she tilted her head to the side and said, "As it turns out, that captain was my sister, my only family. You clearly see now why his family must die - it would have been done already if you hadn't interfered."
Lilith's eyes drifted over to the blonde girl, a grin creeping onto her face.
"I'd keep you alive and let your daddy try to play hero so I could at least have him captured and tried for his crimes here, but as it is I'm tired and already aggravated that my stupid husband plays his own games rather than just doing the job."

Jasmine breathed deeply, shaking her head as Lilith spoke about her wild quest for revenge, her reasoning behind all of her actions bothering Jasmine more than anything. She refused to believe that her father was inadvertently the cause of all of this mess. What had he even been out here for anyway?! Her thoughts drifted to the very moment she'd found him poisoned, that would have been when it had happened.
She tried to wriggle out of the vines' grasp. It seemed the more she fought with them though the tighter the hold they had on her. She squirmed and found she almost had a wrist relatively free enough to perform a spell or two. Almost, she had to keep working at it...
"Your laws are your laws, fine, but it doesn't change the fact that you took yourself to a land outside of your governance to pass your own judgement in an illegal way. I don't care about your reasons, you committed murder in Crepusculum!" she snapped.

Lilith kept her smile, crossing her arms slowly.
"And following your logic, yes, I suppose I did make that mistake. If anyone has the gall to try to bring me to trial over it is a different story. Further following your logic also tells me that Hala Loque's death was a murder on my part, however the crimes committed in Alberisato then are still standing and awaiting retribution. Vincent Loque is guilty of the murder of a beloved family member of mine. In this very case he himself loses a beloved family member," Lilith spoke factually, giving her signal to her monsters to dive at Andy in attack, "Jasmine Loque, you die here."

Jasmine's yell couldn't have came at a more opportune time, once Lilith's attention was shifted to her Andy switched to his elemental form, Mirakumika. Shaking the staff slightly a cold wind began to blow in, the staff shimmered and the cold wind sharply gathered on the plants that held him. Freezing them into solid ice, so when Lilith ordered the attack the vines held him were frozen and her creatures were suffering a VERY strong case of frostbite. Which stiffened their movements long enough for Andy to return to normal form and 'weed the garden'.
"No one else dies! You don't get to kill anyone else!" Andy yelled, pulling his blade back. "Getsuga--Tenshou!"
Swinging it down he fired an energy wave at the Sumata of Plants.

Lilith's eyes widened, though she still tried her best to look not too surprised that Andy had already escaped. It appeared that even taking her eyes off him for a moment was too much time of him being unsupervised.
She carried with her no real weapons aside from a couple of knives on her, but even still she had no intention of using them despite her training sessions with Trucido. What she took from them was not the use of weapons but techniques with speed and accuracy, in which case came to be very useful as Lilith pulled her hand out and toward her, a solid wall made from a tree trunk coming in to take the hit. It splintered and exploded everywhere and left Lilith with very little time to throw back another attack to take him down.
More monsters rose from the ground, every one of them turning all attention to Andy and charging recklessly at him. Lilith focused strongly on a summon in her head, reaching her hand upwards with her fingers making a pulling motion. Up in a tall tree came a shrill cry, a figure barely seen in black being its source. It stood, undistinguishable in shape as pieces of it flowed in different directions as though it were wearing a cape but standing in a wind that blew everywhere. Jumping from the tree, it zipped downward and right at Andy and taking a merciless swipe at him with something that looked like a large scythe before leaping into shadows again. If he couldn't see it still hovering around, the shrieking of it definitely guaranteed the summon was still there.

Andy was cutting through the monsters with powerful swings when he heard the large shrill cry, looking up he saw a strange flowing cape leap from the tree holding a large scythe.
"WHOA!" he yelled as it fell down to him, raising his sword he felt the scythe clang against the blade. The force of the blow sent him on his back, rolling back to his feet as the thing disappeared into the trees. Leaving it's shrill cry for all to hear.
"What the hell is that!?"

"Something you clearly didn't know I was capable of doing," Lilith said with a grin, wasting no more time in bringing her hands to her sides, palms facing forwards. The whole area for miles around them seemed to grow dense with a strange darkness, the grass started swaying in all different directions, gracefully yet mysteriously. Objects formed all around them that took shapes of trees, branches, trunks and all swaying along like the grass did.
She'd created her own haunted land and both Andy and Jasmine were trapped playing in it with her, now. The new surroundings pleased her summon, the only way it could be detected as it hovered about was by the faint outline of its indistinguishable shape in the dark, the large scythe which had a slight glow to it, and of course its never-ending yet random crying. It charged at Andy again as Lilith gloated.
"I am the forest witch afterall. I have my minions and I have my tricks."

"Duvolga atoi!"
She missed the scythe-wielder, but Jasmine's small bursting fire attack hit a number of the other monsters that Lilith had growing around them.
She wasn't even done yet, remembering carefully her training with Annabelle and Seigmand she brought her hand out, flicking it towards Lilith with a final hand signal in place.
"...iknah loblit!" Jasmine spat out a quick spell to accompany it, a few small but burning beams of light shot out directly towards the woman from Jasmine's direction.
