9 parts Ongoing Alice, a prodigy of ice and wind magic, was known far and wide for her extraordinary abilities. Born with a natural affinity for the elements, she quickly surpassed her peers, her talents only matched by her insatiable curiosity. Her kind heart drove her to seek knowledge not just for herself, but to better the lives of those around her. The gods themselves took notice of her selflessness, bestowing upon her a portion of their divine power as a mark of their favor.
On a bright and sunny day, Alice embarked on a journey into the heart of the forest, where the ancient trees stood tall and the air was thick with the scent of earth and leaves. She was searching for a rare herb, one that grew only in the darkest, most secluded parts of the woods. Undeterred by the shadows that lingered beneath the canopy, she pressed on, her resolve unshaken.
But she was not alone in the depths of the forest. Hidden among the twisted roots and dense underbrush, a demon watched her every move, its eyes gleaming with malevolent intent. It had been drawn to the purity of her aura, a stark contrast to the darkness it thrived in. The demon's hunger grew as it observed her, its twisted mind plotting how it would claim the elven girl as its prey.
Would her magic and wits be enough to survive? Would the demon's insidious hunger be her undoing? Or would something unforeseen bloom from their deep-seated hatred for each other.
