Once upon a time, in a whimsical land filled with magic and enchantment, there lived a powerful wizard, a cunning witch, and a mischievous wild one. Each of them possessed unique abilities that set them apart from others in this mystical world. The wizard, known as Merlin, was a wise old sage who had mastered the arts of sorcery and divination. With his long white beard and flowing robes, he commanded the elements and could bend reality to his will. Merlin used his powers to help those in need and guide aspiring young wizards on their path to greatness. Contrasting Merlin's wisdom and benevolence was the witch, Morgana.
Contrasting Merlin's wisdom and benevolence was the witch, Morgana. She was a dark and mysterious figure with a penchant for brewing potions and casting spells. Morgana was driven by her desire for power and would often use her magic for selfish purposes.
The wizard the witch and the wild one
Worlds Beyond Number is already SO GOOD
I am obsessed with a lady in armor yet again o-o
Suvi has such a small world. God, I want her to be there in time.
[ID from Alt Text: A comic of Suvi and Ame from Worlds Beyond Number. Steel is saying "The most common of their downfalls has been seeing the humility and serenity of witches, and underestimating it." Behind this, a young Ame opens a carriage door to see Suvi, curled up in her mother's cloak.
Suvi replies "… Fair." Adult Suvi is standing in the center of a number of panels showing her memories of Ame as a child as she speaks. Ame is holding Suvi's hand, poking something with a stick, in the kitchen with Grandmother Ren, holding a turtle, balancing on a fence post, fast asleep, collecting sticks in the winter, holding a witch's broom. The last of these panels shows Grandmother Ren's cottage.
Suvi finishes: "I am no stranger to witches." The final two panels show adult Suvi and Ame's eyes, each other reflected in them. There are tears welling up in Ame's eyes.] Anyone else been thinking about the relationship between these two nonstop despite having a total of like, two crumbs of information? Because I sure have.
An open door is an invitation. And though *of course* it’s safer to stay here… if you don’t go, how will the story begin?

Despite her questionable morality, Morgana's cunning and formidable witchcraft made her a force to be reckoned with. Then there was the wild one, a misfit creature of the forest named Oberon. Half-human and half-animal, Oberon possessed a wild spirit and an insatiable curiosity for all things magical. He had the ability to shape-shift into various animals, making him elusive and unpredictable. While his intentions were often misunderstood, Oberon's free-spirited nature brought a sense of excitement and adventure wherever he went. The paths of these three magical beings would often intersect, leading to unexpected alliances and fierce clashes. Merlin would try to steer Morgana away from her dark temptations, offering her guidance and a chance at redemption. Oberon would find himself entangled in their conflicts, sometimes taking one side and then the other, depending on his whims. Despite their differences, the wizard, the witch, and the wild one all shared a deep connection to the magical world they inhabited. Their unique qualities and abilities complemented each other, creating a delicate balance between light and dark, order and chaos. In the end, the story of the wizard, the witch, and the wild one serves as a reminder that even in a world filled with magic and enchantment, it is the choices we make and the paths we take that truly define who we are. Whether we use our powers for good or evil, for healing or harm, is a decision that lies within each of us..
