footsteps, splashing muddy puddles, rain, Boiling Isles..

you're running non-stop. there are tears in your eyes. the only question in your head is, was it really all true?

you escaped from the Emperor's Coven. you've seen terrible things. the emperor is a liar and a manipulator, a murderer!

it seems the whole world has turned against you. the whole familiar picture of the world collapsed when you realized that all this time everything was a lie. how? why..?

raindrops, tears and dirt mixed into one picture of despair on your face. It was already light dark on the outside.. your whole life was built around serving the Emperor, and your whole family was proud of it. and now what..?

your feet brought you to only one place where you could find protection. rest. your legs ached from fatigue, and your white raincoat was covered in mud when you ran up to a single house..

..the owl house.

when you served Belos, you were here more than once, trying to defeat the Owl Lady - the most dangerous wild witch on the all Isles. the opposite of the emperor.

your trembling fist is frozen in front of the wooden door. should you knock or not?
