In the dark corners of my mind, there lies a haunting memory. A memory of a witch, whose presence still sends shivers down my spine. She was not like any other witch I had ever come across. She possessed a power that seemed to emanate from deep within her soul. It was a power that consumed and transformed those who encountered it. I first encountered the witch on a cold winter's night.

Imagine, the memorable clink of ice hitting a rocks glass, the scent of muddled limes and mint, the faint crackle as the tipple is poured, the effervescent fizz of soda about to broach the rim, the straw insertion and swirl, the first sip of vacation. In 2015, the Magic City Hippies released the Hippie Castle EP, with the lead-off track Fanfare hitting 1 on both Spotify s Global Viral Top 50 and Hype Machineʼs popular chart.
I first encountered the witch on a cold winter's night. The air was crisp, and the moon shone bright against the black sky. As I walked through the dense forest, I could sense a presence, an otherworldly energy that drew me closer.

And there she was, standing before me, her eyes piercing into my soul. Her gaze was hypnotic, drawing me deeper into her vast depths. Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders, a stark contrast against her pale, porcelain skin. She wore a flowing cloak of deep purple, the color of royalty and mystique. She held a staff in her hand, its intricate carvings telling tales of ancient magic. As I stood before her, my heartbeat quickened, and a mixture of fear and awe filled my senses. I could feel her power, an untamed force that danced on the edge of darkness. It was a power that had consumed many before me, leaving only the remnants of their former selves. Her voice was like silk, caressing my ears as she spoke ancient words that I could not understand. The words echoed through the night, carrying a weight and power that resonated in my very core. It was as though every word she spoke became a part of me, searing into my memory forever. But it wasn't just her words that intrigued me. It was the look in her eyes, the look that seemed to hold centuries of wisdom and secrets. In her eyes, I saw the stories of those who had fallen under her spell, their lives forever altered by her touch. As I gazed into those eyes, I felt a strange mix of fear and fascination. There was a danger in being near her, a danger that I couldn't resist. She was like a flame, both mesmerizing and deadly, drawing me closer and closer until I was consumed by her fire. And then, as quickly as she appeared, she vanished, leaving me alone in the darkness. But her presence remained, etched into my memory, haunting my dreams and waking hours. She was a witch like no other, a force of nature that defied understanding. To this day, I can still feel her presence, her power lingering in the depths of my soul. She left an indelible mark on me, a mark that I can never escape. And though I am left with the memories of her, I can't help but long for her presence once more, to be drawn into her mystic world of darkness and enchantment..
Reviews for "The Witch's Awakening: A Story of Berserk Recollections"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Berserk recollections of the witch". The storyline was confusing and disjointed, making it hard to follow and get invested in the characters. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, lacking any depth or emotion. The artwork, which is usually a highlight of Berserk, was also subpar in this volume. Overall, it was a letdown and I wouldn't recommend it to fans of the series.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "Berserk recollections of the witch" was one of the worst manga volumes I've read. The pacing was all over the place, jumping from one scene to another without any coherence. It felt like the author was just trying to fill pages without any clear direction. The characters lacked development, and their motives were unclear. The artwork was also disappointing, with inconsistent proportions and messy panels. I had high hopes for this volume, but it fell flat in every aspect.
3. Alex - 2 stars - As a long-time fan of Berserk, I was hoping "Berserk recollections of the witch" would deliver the same level of dark and compelling storytelling. Unfortunately, it fell short. The plot seemed convoluted and didn't add much to the overall story arc. The character interactions felt forced and lacked the depth I've come to expect from this series. The artwork was also a letdown, with some panels looking rushed and unfinished. I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied after reading this volume.
