The legend of the Witch of Sloyh dates back to the 18th century in a small village in England. The village of Sloyh was believed to be cursed by an evil witch who lived in the outskirts of town. The witch was said to have dark powers and was feared by the entire community. According to the legend, the Witch of Sloyh would lure innocent villagers into her lair and cast spells on them, causing them to suffer from various ailments or even death. Many villagers claimed to have seen strange occurrences and heard eerie noises coming from the witch's cottage. As the village became more and more terrified of the witch, a group of brave villagers decided to take matters into their own hands.

Arnie, Chunt, and Usidore meet a terrifying undead queen.
They discovered that the witch drew her power from a magical artifact hidden somewhere in the village. Armed with this knowledge, the Guardians devised a plan to lure the witch out of her cottage and retrieve the artifact. They used a decoy villager to pose as a potential victim and lead the witch into a trap. On the night of the planned ambush, the witch fell for the trap, believing she was capturing another helpless victim. However, the Guardians were prepared and were able to overpower her. They retrieved the magical artifact and banished the witch from the village forever. After the incident, the village of Sloyh slowly returned to normal. The Guardians of Sloyh disbanded and the legend of the Witch of Sloyh became nothing more than a horrifying tale to scare children. To this day, the legend of the Witch of Sloyh is still told in the village, serving as a warning to be wary of dark magic and to stand against evil. The tale is a reminder that bravery and unity can triumph over even the darkest of forces..
