Not that there weren't other Anchors, some of which were downright bizarre.
She walked through the forest, the beasts around her scurrying away at her approach.
Her Anchor was like that. Pristine nature. Those who wandered into the Anchor, she found and Changed. Then there would be a new tree thrusting up from the ground or a new beast would hide in the brush. Slowly their identities would simply melt away no matter how they fought to keep it. Then the wood would be perfect again.
She was the Sorceress, and her plans had gone a little "off."
Okay, they'd gone a LOT off.
Fortunately, she had some other abilities and had been able to find some raw materials to begin working with.
"What are you doing?! Let me GO!" said the latest recruit, tied to the slab.
"Soon, little man," said the Sorceress. "What of my troops?"
"Succubus soldiers?" asked the traveler. "Interesting costumes. Looks kinda like Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers) sort of thing."
"Have you been wandering in the Flux all this time?" asked the Sorceress, a bit of disbelief showing. "People are still wandering in without a clue, though most have little changes like you do. A side effect of being in the mists."
"What ARE you babbling about?" asked the prisoner, who had noticed that he had developed a large drooly mouth on one forearm but hadn't apparently figured out why.
The Sorceress made a gesture, not really necessary to focus the power but she felt it suited her nature. "I HAD been hoping to gain information on other Fluxlands. What a bother."
The succubus soldier stood up from the slab, her dull eyes looking around at the surroundings without apparently registering any of it.
"Well," said the Sorceress, "that's enough of the soldiers. Now I need a few commanders and specialists."
"WAGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" said Usagi, dodging wildly. "WhatIdo?!"
"You will not be allowed to harm Ranma-sama!" said a maid.
"I just said -" began Usagi, breaking off what she was going to say as another metal platter went zipping past her wildly dodging form.
"What's all this-" CLANG!
The woman in maid's uniform was not immediately identified, mainly due to have a large heavy metal platter apparently stuck to her face. "-this is really not a good day-"
"Setsuna-chan?" asked Usagi, thinking the voice sounded familiar.
Slowly the platter slid off the face of Setsuna Meiou, who then fell over for completely unknown reasons.
"WAHHHHH!" said Usagi, running around in circles now.
"Uhm, and let that be a lesson to you," declared the thrower, deciding not to be around when the tall maid woke up. zip!
