Akaashi is a wizard who lives by hiding his true identity.
Living as wizards in a society with wrong perceptions about magic means they have to hide their identities. Sometimes they move to escape, or hide before things get bad and they get staked. That caused some wizards and witches to make shelter and hides, to ensure the safety of their bloodline.
For Akaashi, he preferred the first way. To live blending in between folks and sometimes move before the people got suspicious.
As the morning dew covered the garden, a sudden movement caught Akaashi's attention. To his surprise, he found a young girl crouching behind the roses, her clothes torn and her eyes filled with fear.
Akaashi took a step closer, his eyes narrowing.
The witch knelt down, her cloak brushing against the dewy grass, and extended a hand towards the girl.
"Who are you?" he asked in a soft, yet commanding tone.
