As I sat in my living room one late and stormy night, I suddenly heard a faint tapping on my window. At first, I dismissed it as the wind or perhaps a tree branch brushing against the glass. But the tapping continued, growing louder and more persistent with each passing moment. I cautiously approached the window, peering out into the darkness. To my surprise and disbelief, I saw a figure hovering just outside, illuminated by a flash of lightning. It was a witch, complete with a pointy hat and a broomstick.
It was a witch, complete with a pointy hat and a broomstick. Her gnarled fingers tapped on the glass, demanding entry into my home. Fear and curiosity competed within me as I hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.
Pointed Cap Witches
Pointed cap witches, or just witches are all those who use magic in accordance to the laws established on the day of the pact. They belong to no nation, pay no rent and are paid by the magic tax taken from the unknowing of Zozah, [1] and in exchange are obliged to serve the people through seasonal services. Only those born to witches are legally permitted to become one, with the Pointed Caps purging the memories of anyone who discovers the secret of how it is used, something they have been it since the day of the Pact. [2] The witches are led by the Three Wise, and their laws enforced by the Knights Moralis.
The majority of the witches in the peninsula live within the Great Hall, a fortified underwater city, the water kept breathable thanks to magic. Forced by trade to live separated from the unknowing, smaller communities still exist outside the Great Hall, the island of Kalhn demonstrating an example of such. More rarely, witches like Qifrey prefer a solitary life in an atelier, and others are nomadic. [citation needed]
After collecting my wits, I summoned the courage to open the window and confront the mysterious visitor. As the cold wind rushed in, the witch cackled with delight, her eerie laughter echoing through the room. The witch introduced herself as Morgana, a solitary enchantress who had lost her way on a journey centuries ago. She pleaded for help, explaining that she needed shelter from the storm and assistance in finding her way back home. Intrigued by her story and undeterred by the risks, I agreed to help her. Together, we ventured into the night, braving the raging storm and navigating through dense forests and treacherous terrain. Morgana proved to be a wealth of ancient knowledge and magical expertise, sharing her wisdom with me throughout our journey. We encountered enchanting creatures and solved mysterious riddles along the way, deepening our bond of companionship. As the days turned into weeks, our quest led us to a hidden portal, a gateway between worlds. With Morgana's guidance, I helped her activate the portal, restoring her connection to her homeland. We bid each other farewell, promising to remember our remarkable adventure forever. Returning to my own world, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the unexpected encounter with the witch tapping on my window. Our brief but transformative journey had unlocked a realm of wonder and magic within me that I would carry with me for the rest of my life. From that day forward, I approached the world with a newfound curiosity and an open mind, ready to embrace the unknown and the enchanting possibilities that lie just beyond our everyday reality..
