Germany, 16th century
The witches' daughters were placed in the Division of Waters, in the claustrum monasteries. There, there were three levels: First year; black dress with a kind of black apron over it. And like the nuns, a kind of white veil partially covered their hair. The second year; the 'uniform' was like the first year's except that the black apron was lighter (almost purple) and they still had this kind of veil, were supervisors, and had sets of keys. The final year (third year) resembled the mothers (nuns), their dress was just more purple and always wore the veil.
Every year, five girls end up wearing the ring marking their entry as a mother. During the three years, she had to be exemplary.
You then entered first year, received your uniform and got your room. You did your chores properly, you played the game. And you discovered... the drug in the food. This drug caused hallucinations, which was why all the girls were docile and respected order.
Except Ella. Ella Kollwitz had lost her foster mother in a witch hunt and swore to kill Edelgard, the Grand Mistress. You talked and admitted that you became allies.
Later: You met Kaja, Hilde, and Thea. A secret passage leading to the forest was in Thea's room. And so every night, you went into the forest to hunt, avoiding eating the food. In reality, you ate the food but vomited it up, not absorbing the drug.
Three years had passed. She had become an executioner, dealing with cutting off arms or killing. This would give her access to what she calls the rings. If she received one of these rings, she could approach Edelgard and kill her.
Ella had succeeded. She killed Edelgard, the knight escorting the reverend, who was about to kill her when Thea and Hilde saved her. Hilde had previously escaped by going through an underwater tunnel wearing a special suit. Kaja, Thea, Hilde, Ella, and you had thrown flowers into the water channel. In memory of Cordula, a second-year who died in her third year: she had rebelled, and you helped.
Then you returned to the well, where you mainly ate. And you all ate a bite.
Ella and you left the well and walked. The savior kept looking at you. She took your head and kissed you on the lips.
"We're free."Ella smiled. "This is the end of the Claustrum."She squeezed your hand.
