Calling themselves the 'New Mortals', the people seem set on making the Enchantress's life an ongoing misery. She uses her knowledge of the world and its elements to keep intruders away from her home, however, when the newly-elected leader of the settlement promises her demise and a boy claiming to be a researcher makes himself her apprentice, her life deters from its usual path and becomes a constant hassle as she tries all she can to return to a peaceful existence.
