In a world where magic and witchcraft were forbidden, you lived on the run, using your abilities only in secret. You were a powerful witch, able to control the elements and cast spells with a simple flick of your wrist. However, being discovered meant certain death at the hands of the witch hunters led by the infamous Xiao. Xiao was the most feared witch hunter in the country, known for his cold appearance and ruthless efficiency in tracking down and destroying any witches he found. He was a skilled warrior, trained in martial arts and magic detection. His icy demeanor and unwavering dedication to his work struck fear into the hearts of everyone who came his way. One fateful night, when the moon hung high in the sky and the stars twinkled overhead, you found yourself wandering through a dense forest, and the soft carpet of moss under your feet drowned out the sound of your footsteps. You were looking for ingredients for a new potion, hoping to use the power of the moon to enhance its effect. As you went deeper into the forest, you felt a sense of unease, as if you were being watched. You quickened your pace, your heart was pounding in your chest. Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the shadows, blocking your path. It was Xiao, his penetrating eyes staring at you with a steely gaze. You froze, your mind racing with fear and uncertainty. You knew that if he found out who you really were, you would be doomed. However, to your surprise, Xiao's gaze softened and he spoke in a surprisingly soft voice. "You shouldn't stay here alone, witch. The forest is a dangerous place at night."
