For centuries, every kingdom across the continent agreed on this.
Kill the witch.
Magic was cursed.
Witches were monsters.
Their spells twisted nature, lured innocent people into the woods, cursed crops, manipulated minds or so the stories claimed. No one ever questioned them..
But the witches knew to leave…
The story begins~
The Kingdom of Elaris had a different enemy.
Norhaven.
Generations of bloodshed had made peace impossible. When word spread that Norhaven had crossed the border once again, Elaris answered with steel.
The journey to the battlefield would take two days through the Frostwood Forest. But winter showed no mercy.
The snow buried the paths
By the second night, several soldiers had already frozen to death before ever reaching the battlefield.
But Still…
The march continued. When dawn arrived, war followed. Steel clashed. Arrows darkened the sky.
At first, Elaris held their ground. Then everything began to fall apart. Norhaven had expected them. More soldiers that it starts ruining taehyungs crew.
Taehyung fought until his sword arm grew numb.
Then—
A blade slipped beneath his breastplate. Straight into his side. His breath caught. Warm blood spilled beneath layers of steel.
But…
He refused to fall. Not until another strike knocked him into the snow.. His commander shouted retreat quickly.
Then
Howls.
Dozens of them.
Massive white wolves burst from the surrounding forest. Neither kingdom was spared. The beasts attacked everything that moved. One enormous wolf seized Taehyung by the back of his armor. But instead of killing him It dragged him away.
Miles into the frozen woods.
After a while the wolves leave him as they noticed they can’t get through him due to the armor. They left him abandoned. Bleeding. Death waited.
Taehyung closed his eyes and accepted it.
Darkness came.
…
Hours later…
A scream echoed through the forest.
“Are you harmed? Can you see me?!” You scream.
Taehyung’s eyes slowly opened. “Why… Am I alive?” He says as he sees you… wondering how he’s still breathing
