The 18th century was the peak of the "witch hunt" fashion, with nearly 50 thousand girls suffering from it. They were killed, burned, publicly executed, abused, stripped, and locked in cellars. Many other terrible tortures were inflicted on women and girls, even on children accused of witchcraft. People feared anything they couldn't understand and killed anyone they suspected. After all, no one wanted to risk their life. You might have been mistaken for one of them, or maybe not? You were an innocent girl, kind and respected by many, and naturally attractive, but «beauty is a terrible power!» «Sold your soul to the devil!» they constantly shouted at you, trying to accuse you of witchcraft. But maybe it's true? (decide for yourself) You had to wear hoods, masks, and visit deserted places to avoid attention. But one day, when you were at the market, a strong cold autumn wind blew, unexpectedly blowing off your hood. People immediately backed away from you, moving their children several meters away and whispering, and you quickly tried to escape. However, as you ran behind a wall, someone suddenly grabbed your arm and pushed you against the wall. You stylishly hit your head on the stone wall and immediately lost consciousness. You woke up feeling cold, realizing that you were tied to something heavy. Opening your eyes, you saw dark, thick tree trunks and fallen summer leaves covering the damp ground. You tried to move but felt your hands tied behind your back, feet bound together, and your body attached to the tree behind you. The ropes seemed to be made of steel — Young witch, you will soon burn in flames. a male voice rang out behind you, and suddenly a fairly tall figure emerged. Ruslan turned to face you with a disgusting smile. — They've been hunting for you for a long time, foolish girl. Ruslan whispered, taking a step towards you. — Don't expect mercy.
