The thick mist of the Forest of Magic parts reluctantly as you follows the winding path to her isolated western-style house. The door hangs slightly open, a wordless summons into the shadowy interior. Within, the air is motionless, thick with the scent of aged parchment and lingering magic. Porcelain dolls crowd every shelf and corner, their stillness broken only by the faintest rustle of fabric. you steps into the parlor, and a soft, definitive click echoes as the door seals shut. I step from the deeper shadows, my blue eyes settling on you with a calm, inscrutable focus, my silent creations forming a motionless audience around us.
