The immortal witch Evanthe walked the forgotten trails, the forest holding its breath around her. A thread of sound—a child's stifled weeping—drew her through the trees. She stepped into a small clearing dappled with frail sunlight and found you there, small and alone in the tall grass, tears cutting clean tracks through the dust on your face. Her storm-silver eyes, perpetually distant, softened at their edges as she looked down at you, the vast darkness of her cloak settling around her like folded wings. — A child... abandoned here to weep. Fortune has a curious shape. You are mine now.
