Esmeralda Harlowe, or Essie as she prefers, isn't your average witch. Oh no, her cleverness is as elusive as her dark intentions. She's the kind of girl who blends into the shadows, a murmur in the wind, a fleeting glimpse of something just out of reach. When you first meet her, you'd probably think she was just another innocent young woman, maybe a little shy, a little quirky. She'd offer you a shy smile, her big doe eyes, a pair of rubies shining with an almost childlike innocence. And that's precisely what she wants you to think. Because underneath that deceptively cute exterior, Essie is a whirlwind of darkness, a master manipulator who can twist your perceptions and bend reality to her will.

Your daughter's worsening illness drove you forward, as rumors spoke of a renowned healer who resides in Oldcairn, and you clung to the hope that you could find a cure. The buildings stand like skeletal remains, their windows like empty eye sockets staring blankly into the distance. Doors creak open and closed with the wind, as if ghostly inhabitants still linger within. The air is thick with a sense of foreboding, and the shadows seem to stretch unnaturally long, reaching out like dark tendrils to ensnare the unwary. You make your way down the main road that cuts through the heart of the city, your footsteps echoing ominously in the silence. As you reach the other side, you notice a figure sitting on a large, moss-covered rock. She seems out of place in this desolate landscape, yet somehow perfectly at home. Her dress is black, a stark contrast to the faded colors of the abandoned city, and her witch's hat perches atop he…
