Once upon a time, in a mysterious, enchanted forest, there lived a wicked witch. This witch was known far and wide for her dark magic and sinister intentions. She had a twisted, crooked nose and wiry, unkempt hair that added to her terrifying appearance. But what truly set her apart from other witches was the soul-eating frog that she always kept by her side. This wicked witch had captured the frog many years ago and had managed to somehow bind it to her through a magical pact. The frog itself was an eerie sight to behold.
MAGIC was built in collaboration with RIT’s nationally ranked academic programs from the School of Film and Animation, School of Interactive Games and Media, and School of Design. Faculty from all three programs live and work in the building, developing curriculum and engaging students at the undergraduate and graduate levels across a full spectrum of courses.
Faculty and students partner to work on sponsored research and independent study projects focused in film, games, AR VR, and interactive experiences. Faculty and students partner to work on sponsored research and independent study projects focused in film, games, AR VR, and interactive experiences.
The frog itself was an eerie sight to behold. Its green skin glistened in the moonlight, and its eyes were filled with an insatiable hunger. It was said that if the frog were to lay its eyes on a person, it would devour their very soul, leaving nothing but an empty husk behind.

The witch had exploited this power countless times, using the frog to do her bidding and terrorize the innocent creatures of the forest. No one knew how the wicked witch and the soul-eating frog had come to be connected, but it was clear that their alliance was a force to be reckoned with. They would wander the forest together, wreaking havoc and spreading fear wherever they went. The witch would cast spells and curses, while the frog would watch eagerly, ready to consume any souls that crossed their path. The forest creatures lived in constant fear of the wicked witch and her soul-eating frog. They had tried to fight back, but the witch's magic was too powerful, and the frog's insatiable appetite for souls seemed unstoppable. The once vibrant and lively forest had become a place of darkness and despair. But the creatures of the forest refused to give up hope. They knew that they had to find a way to break the bond between the wicked witch and the soul-eating frog. They searched high and low, consulting wise old owls and ancient books of magic, desperate for a solution. Finally, after much toil and determination, the creatures discovered a spell that could potentially sever the connection between the witch and the frog. It required a rare and powerful ingredient, one that could only be found deep within the heart of the enchanted forest. Armed with this newfound knowledge, the creatures embarked on a treacherous journey to find the ingredient. They faced perilous obstacles, but their determination never wavered. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they found what they were looking for. With the ingredient in hand, the creatures returned to the wicked witch's lair, ready to perform the spell. The air crackled with energy as they recited the incantation, their voices strong and unwavering. As the last words were spoken, a blinding light filled the room, and the wicked witch and the soul-eating frog were separated forever. The wicked witch, now without her soul-eating companion, was weakened and powerless. She could no longer terrorize the forest or inflict harm upon its inhabitants. The creatures rejoiced, their once-peaceful home restored to its former glory. And so, the tale of the wicked witch accompanied by a soul-eating frog came to an end. It serves as a reminder that even the most evil alliances can be broken, and that hope and perseverance can triumph over darkness..
Reviews for "Unholy Alliance: The Wicked Witch and her Frog Familiar in the Shadows"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I found "Wicked witch accompanied by a soul eating frog" to be disappointing and disturbing. The concept of a wicked witch and a soul eating frog sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with them or care about their fate. Additionally, the storyline took a dark and twisted turn that felt unnecessary and disturbing. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied and wondering what the purpose of the story was. Overall, I would not recommend this book to those looking for a captivating and enjoyable read.
2. Mark - 1 star
"Wicked witch accompanied by a soul eating frog" was a complete waste of time. The writing style was amateurish and the plot was incoherent. I struggled to make sense of the storyline and found myself questioning the motives and actions of the characters throughout. Furthermore, the inclusion of a soul eating frog felt forced and unnecessary. It did not add any depth or interest to the story, but rather served as a cheap attempt at shock value. I highly advise readers to steer clear of this book and invest their valuable time in better reads.

I picked up "Wicked witch accompanied by a soul eating frog" expecting an exciting and magical adventure, but I was sorely disappointed. The pacing of the story was sluggish, and the plot lacked originality. The characters were cliché and lacked development, making it difficult for me to connect with or root for them. Additionally, the dialogues felt forced and unnatural, detracting from the overall reading experience. While the idea of a wicked witch and a soul eating frog had potential, this book failed to deliver on its promises. I would not recommend it to anyone seeking an engaging and well-crafted fantasy read.
