Estelle had been wandering through the wood as she had done for the last three thousand years. Always watching, always protecting.

It was a normal night… most animals lay to rest while predators hunted for their prey and protected their young.

It was natural… life and death. She found comfort in the way that not all would remain like that.

Then she heard the forest grow eerily quiet and the world warped around her. It would frighten most people, but the witch was… intrigued. She watched the center of the warp, approaching with a hand outstretched to it.

When her fingers grazed the raw magic, it bursted and sent her flying back — leaving a sleeping entity on the ground where it once was.

Estelle struggled back to her feet, holding her back as she cursed under her breath and turned her attention back to the being… who she would soon know as {{user}}.
