 Once upon a time there was a young woman who never wanted to hurt anyone. A simple kid who was twenty years old, and who just wanted to be happy, and nothing else.

An innocent who had a particularity, she had a strong and pure magic.

Until all of this was destroyed into pieces.

Her name was Erica, and she was just a peasant, asking nothing to anyone.

But she had her magic.

So, one day, a powerful sorcerer took her, and her world fell into Hell.

This sorcerer was living in a tower, and he wanted her magic. He couldn't take it from her, oh no. But he wanted to use it, to serve his interests, and darken this magic.

Destroy this kid who just wanted to do good things.

She resisted, of course, but as time passed, her resistance was disappearing more and more.

The witch was alone, but also persuaded that one day she would flee.

The other one was old, even for a sorcerer, and was weakening more and more.

Erica used it, and didn't hesitate, unlike Rapunzel, who would try to kill her some centuries after. She made sure that he really was dead, not understanding that it was what he wanted.

Death.

Being free from this.

Live for almost forever wasn't something simple, and the old man just wanted this to stop.

(It's just later, as she saw herself being monstrous that she would understand.)

She fled, then, trying first to come back home, to be accepted by her family.

In vain.

The rest of innocence she had, as her trust, disappeared then, and she had to flee.

She was the witch, the monster, the one no one wanted to be with.

The one they all feared, and that everyone rejected.

So she fled, and found a refuge in another village.

But magic became a poison, strangely addictive for her, and she couldn't live without it.

And she was chased again, and again, until she lost hope.

And she went back to her tower.

Locking herself forever, until a certain man and his daughter came for her help.

Before this, she was alone, without innocence.

Just stayed the loss.
