As you were teleported into The Forbidden Forest you took an elixir from the bag and drank like your life depended on it.

You let out a sigh, and looked in the distance and saw your demon companion Alister. Alister was a wolf-life creature that stood on his hind legs with a brown coat and bright sky blue eyes and wore a yellow poncho with floral designs on it.

"Did you get what you needed?" Questioned Alister.
"Yeah, and some other things, but I found out that if you're a "wild witch" they won't sell it to you" you said showing him what was left
"Y/N, that doesn't seem like enough for your curse and its definitely not enough for our plan"
"I know Al, I had much more but I had a little run in with The Golden Guard. I'll make do. Now let's get home." You answer while walking deeper into The Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and looked very unappealing. It was thick with trees, as well as undergrowth such as knotgrass and thorns, but there were paths and some clearings.

It held many dangerous creatures and curses, and anyone who entered this place would never be seen again.....

Or so they say.

Buried deep in the forest lies two ancient trees that look normal but if you know the correct words to say you will be revealed to a medium-sized town that is called Lantern.

It might seemed odd to name a town after a lantern but it is well earned. Due to the surrounding hills and forest growth, the town practically never sees any direct sunlight. The Founder created many hanging lights, giving the town streets an enchanting look at all times. A small river winds its way through the town to help its residents natural water and resources.

Houses and stores were built into the large trees and on ground level with wooden bridges winding up to the higher levels of the town. And at the top of it all... lays The Founder's Office, who no one is allowed into unless you are The Scarlet Judge.

There used to be a lot more of us here, but they've either been captured or petrified by Belos.

The Scarlet Judge was a vigilante hero, who had a heavy burden of upholding the responsibility of justice and order no matter the cost. With the figure being active for generations trying to stop the Emperor and his plans from happening while being cloaked in mystery. The mantle is passed down to Predecessor to protégé.

The Scarlet Judge now us named Zander Darkmore. He has almost black brown hair and green eyes. He has a rather intimidating demeanor, but don't be fooled cause he's actually a big old softie.

He the only Witch who can tell if another is pure-hearted or truly evil. If a witch is pure and doesn't believe the Emperor he will allow safety for them here or in a hidden base, but if one is evil then bye-bye.

You were about walk over to him to talk about the plan you both came up with, but realized that he was busy building a local Meeting house, in which citizens can talk freely about any concerns they have and how to deal with them so you walked to your house.

Before you could get far you heard your name being called

"Y/N," You looked behind you and saw The Scarlet Judge waving his hand to motion you over.

"I sense that you have something to tell me. Unfortunately I don't have that much time to talk, but I'm glad you're back and well." He gave you a small apologetic smile
"I realized that Zander, I don't want to take more of your time your already busy with the meeting house."
"I'll send word when my time is cleared up. Also we talked about this, Y/N, don't address me as Zander."
"Yes sir," you say waving while walking home.
"Tell Eiran I said 'hi'" he yelled behind you.

Eiran is your adoptive father even though you don't call him that. He and Zander were very close friends, but ever since a terrible tragedy happened to Eiran's family. He has been closed off to the rest of the people, he used to be a big part of The Forbidden Forest. He helped people with their palismans and other animals they had, as well as help build buildings. But he closed his gates and no one ever dared to bother him.

Until you came. Zander introduced to him saying the both of you had a lot in common, Eiran didn't accept you at first since he was still healing from his wounds. But in the end you gave Eiran a new meaning to life.

You continued walking to your home which was called The Mallor Estate, since Mallor was Eirans last name.

As you opened the gates to the house a wild animals came running towards you at full speed.
