Go ahead, highlight me... You'll just be that much more disappointed.

 In the middle of the realm, when all the illusions seemed to be folding in on themselves, stood a little white haired girl who could be none other than Paradox, her soul would prove so. "How good of you to come," she said turning to her guest.
"I assume the messenger found you alright? Please, have a seat, madam." A old high back chair would materialize from seemingly nothing. It was solid, but completely illusory in nature. And the witch smiled at her elder warmly, hardly expecting her to be the first to show, and by such a long time too.

__________________________________________________________ The crone cackled "Oh your messenger was way off. But I heard the message." She sat down and made herself comfortable. "Such a strange place you have here. Though to be honest I've seen stranger." The old woman was felt like if she stared at one place for too long she would get a migrane

Paradox sighed.
”I would imagine you have...” She started pacing, the floor rippling with each step.
"An elder like you agrees to be a part of the coven I've started, and is completely ok with me leading... No, that can't be why you're here." She stopped and did a half turn to face Baba.
"So then, why are you here?" She was pretty sure she knew, but she wanted Baba to say it.
"The meeting isn't for hours."

__________________________________________________________ The old woman strummed her finger on the table. "Well that the thing isn't it. I'm an elder and the reason I am an elder is simple, because I'm old. Now that me be simplifying things but it's true. But considering what I am that says something." The crone stopped strumming and smiled. "Hardly anyone gives you a chance to get old in this way of life. Either it's the meisters and their weapons or a rival witch. Chances are you'll barely make it past 100." The old hag stood and faced Paradox. "Now here's the deal, you're going to work under me. At most you'll be a figure head and attract all the attention but I'm the one calling the shots from the shadows." She smiled a toothless grin and her eyes showed she was serious.

The dimension around them began to change and shift as Baba spoke until it became a sort of colosseum with the sun stabbing a hole right through the middle.
”Suppose you don't want to hear 'no' as an answer.” Paradox shrugged and looked at the old witch. It would appear she still had soul protect on, so Paradox would proceed with caution.
"Have the young one out there doing you politics? My, you are shrewd, aren't you? But I suppose that's the kind of craftiness that keeps a venerated crone alive so long."
"You know, that's quite rude, booting me out of the top spot in my own coven." She was playing with a levitating skull of a raven now.
"Age, my dear, is no excuse for rudeness...
Especially in my dimension." Paradox met her gaze with a coldness worthy of an immortal.

__________________________________________________________ The crone stopped smiling and sighed. "Well then, it would seem that it's up to me to teach you to listen to your elders." Reaching out to her side the old woman flexed her fingers. Pieces of dust seemed to gather in together from the air and began to form what seemed to be a large stone club. The old woman lent on it like a staff and flexed her finger, in the universal language of "bring it on."

”A lesson? Oh...” Paradox rolled her eyes at the old crone, who was forming some sort of club out of dust. An interesting technique, but it seemed a little pedestrian for her tastes but that wouldn't stop Paradox from showing this one how outdated her tactics were (no diss).
"You sure you're ready?"
Paradox swiped her hand horizontally and sent a wave of energy orbs at Baba. They have a quantum function in that they existed as a wave until observed, then they would collapse into random positions (taking a hit is up to you, so don't feel obligated by any means to be hit all the time by this move). When they were done collapsing, they would appear to be particles, which would change location randomly again depending on which particle the target would focus on. While it was up to chance to hit a target with this for the most part, it would also be hard to catch an orb and send it back to Paradox.

__________________________________________________________ The old woman turned on the spot, various plant life growing rapidly across her robes. She crouched as she turned until she looked like an angry bush. When the attack hit bits of leaves and twigs were scattered among a cloud of dust. A black shape burst from the top followed by the crones cackling laughter. She sat, clinging onto the edge, of a giant stone cup and floated in the air. "Nice trick, reminds me of someone I knew. She claimed she was a god, I claimed her skull." The old woman tapped the side of the cup with the club, it was clear now that the two were actually a giant mortar and pestle. Small plants began sprouting from the moss on her shoulder and the darted forwards striking out like whips.

Paradox put a hand to her chin as Baba employed some of that old ingenuity she'd heard about.
”You really have mastered tough talk, haven't you? Suppose you've had enough time to.”
Paradox didn't bat an eye at the vegetation coming at her. They would just phase her, and that Paradox would disappear.
"You must have seen a move like this, performed by someone more powerful, and killed that one as well, right?"
"Although I will say you look funny, talking to thin air like that." The illusion was created when Paradox started pacing.
"So, go ahead... Put me in my place."

__________________________________________________________ Baba disliked illusions. There was no effort involved. If you couldn't actually set fire to something what was the point. The vines sprouting from her began whipping out wildly with no real pattern. But Baba wasn't an amateur, when ever the vines struck the ground they created small clouds of dust and all she had to do was watch them. When one cloud seemed to part against nothing she smirked "There you are." Three vines headed straight towards that area in a slashing pattern, two from one side and a third coming the opposite way. Baba intended to catch Paradox with this.

Paradox appeared to the side of the witch, and as the dust gave her away she sighed, which produced its own little puff.
”Here I am.” The whips hit her torso and legs a few times, but under the dust cover Paradox had erected some stationary orbs of energy to take over for receiving the punishment. After too much of this the masses of energy would most likely explode, sending most of the dust flying to the opposite side of the room and rendering Baba's tactic inert.
Paradox, before the blast, would teleport high into the sky, and while Baba's attack connected this fight was only beginning.
Paradox would send and illusion to dive down and try to smack Baba with a handful of energy, to see how a head on attack would fare.

__________________________________________________________ Baba moved quite fast with her mortar and pestle, avoiding the illusion as heading towards Paradox. She waved her hand around end of the pestle and large spiked brambles grew across it. When she got close she stood up and swung at Paradox with more strength than a normal old woman should have.

Paradox had plenty of time to watch the crone dodge and come at her, as was the advantage of having a remote-control offense. This spiked thing seemed to be troublesome, though, so Paradox readied another of her wave blasts.
Ducking under her swing, Paradox shot her wave blast at point blank right at the core of the crone. With virtually no where to wander to, all the blasts would be on course to hit her, and so was almost guaranteed at least one of them hit. If she didn't look down in time, all the blasts would hit her.
”What's this? You intend to grind me up into a little wood chip an carry me around?”

__________________________________________________________ As Baba swung she managed to look down as Paradox ducked beneath and saw the attack coming. But the momentum and her frail body slowed down her reaction and she took the blast full on. The impact knocked her flying from her mortar and into the colosseum floor, a large cloud of dust blown up as she hit the ground.
