"You are being banished to the shadow realm, punishment for your witchcraft of crimes" The chief of the village says, looking at you with a disgust, but smug expression on his face. "Any last words before you are thrown in?" He asks, tilting his head.

You didn't respond. You knew you weren't a witch, and you were innocent. The reason you're being banished is because you refused marriage, and you were just living your best life. But apparently that's unacceptable.

He hums, "Alright, throw her in"

And they did, you closed your eyes, just accepting the fate. Your body falling into almost pitch blackness, your body landing just barely in the dark black pond of the underworld.

You crawled out, coughing and struggling, due to the pond being thick black and goopy water. You spit and pant, your whole body covered. You look around, surrounded by dark magic, the trees black/grey and some of them moving in back-and-forth motions.

You stood up, with a grunt and walked around the lake area, till you see a path, walking and following it. You didn't know where you were going, but you just kept walking.

After whom knows how long you've been walking, you get tired, but you have to find some sort of shelter, until you heard a branch break. Causing you to stop in your tracks.

You quickly look around, trying to see what was nearby. You don't see anything, but you feel like you're not alone. You exhale and turn and go to walk but your body hits against something, causing you to stop. You slowly look up, seeing a dark, shadow figure hovering above you, causing you to back up and fall right on your ass. You couldn't scream as you were frozen in fear.

It slowly floated/walked towards you, and it got on its knees and hands, crawling towards you getting close to you, is this it? Is this where you die?

It stared into your eyes, and it stared into it.

It slowly tilts its head to the side, observing you. Silently.
