Witchvania: The Curse of the Countess Cavendish EN

The Black Annis

Glastonbury, England

The group of girls is following their journey, they stopped at the first city of the route to rest and also to refuel, before they really start to make long trips and they really did when they went towards the city of Glastonbury on the third day that they were on the island. With this long journey they end up arriving at sunset in the small town, the intention was not even to arrive in that city, but to follow the path to Bristol, but some events in the city changed the route to stay in that location, especially because it was getting dark and at night they could run the risk of appearing many thieves and also some creatures of the night.
At the castle of the Countess Cavendish there was also some planning going on before they reached the city. Bernadette talked to a creature of the night that lives in the surroundings and granted power and help for it to stop the group, the Black Annis witch, for which already terrorized the places around,but this time would have the Cavendish help with invocations of creatures and also a little more power, what was something that she was surprised, since she would be able to accomplish what she always did in a more intense way, just needing to kill the girls to ensure that she continued with all that power.

It was at dusk on that winter day, it was starting to snow along the way, the group of girls were talking among themselves about the path and the journey, approaching the city, also excited to be closer to reach Hellene, since the journey was already quite long, they were planning to go to Bristol, but something was about to happen that would change that route completely.

Akko: It's snowing, it's been so long since I've seen snow, it always brings me a feeling of nostalgia, when I was a child and played there in my hometown, but it brings me a bit of fear, when I ran away from home and lived in this cold.

Diana: We're almost in Bristol, but now that it's getting dark I think we'd better move our stop to another city nearby.

Croix: I will do just that, better than risk losing our cargo to some clever thief or creature of the night.

They end up arriving at the city of Glastonbury, where the people there are walking in a very peaceful way, strolling around, but with the day getting dark they go into hiding.
The group leaves the horses and the cart with the things stored in a chest in a stable, paying to leave it for at least a day, then they walk to an inn, where people were drinking and talking, they ask for a room for everyone and also something to eat.

Attendant: You must be outsiders I presume, welcome to Glastonbury, this is known as the city of witches, here is the only safe place in all of England where witches or anyone related to magic can live together in peace and from what I presume the blonde is a summoner.

Croix: We came here just to have a look around, the intention was to go to Bristol, but as it was getting late very early, we stopped here because it was the closest city, but we never heard of this city's fame.

Attendant: They say that years ago before the witch hunts around here there was a portal that led to a school of magic, its name was Luna Nova, only that it seems to be a myth, the older people tell us that before 1517 it was common to have witches around here, real witches, only that they disappeared, they used the city as a portal to go from one place to another, nowadays we only have to deal with the dangerous witch Black Annis, but she is a wicked witch.

Akko: Black Annis?

Senior customer who sits next to the girls: Pardon my intrusion, but I kept hearing that you were talking about the dangerous Black Annis, well, anyway, allow me to tell you about her and the encounter I had when I was still young. My name is Miranda Holbrooke, I used to be a student of this legendary magic school which was later destroyed and even burnt down by witch hunters sent by the church. Black Annis was a former teacher who corrupted herself to power, her name was Anne Finnelan, she ended up getting so greedy and thirsty for power wanting to be the headmaster of that academy of witches, but unfortunately she ended up making a demonic pact with death and did not expect the consequences, today she haunts the city, killing children and adults, sending the tower of Glastonbury as a trap to devour them.
