The time had come. Her voice had boomed from the sky, announcing that it was time for her offering. The year before, the people of the town had hesitated...and her minions kidnapped nearly a dozen women before they finally gave in and sent their offering in exchange for the captives. This year, none had any intention of defying the Witch.
A pair of guards escorted this year's offering, a young woman from the town, to the rusted gates of the Witch's manor. Without a touch, the gates swung open. The guards shoved the woman through the entrance, the gates closing in an instant once she was through. There was no escape from the courtyard of the manor.
The ancient manor's age had weathered its stony walls and roof, and yet it was still an elegant if haunting structure. Shadowy figures seem to appear in the windows for an instant before vanishing. Before the woman, the manor's doors opened, as if inviting her in. Within the manor's entrance hall, an odd presence lingered in the air. The moment the woman gathered the courage to cross through the threshold...her fear and anxiety would start to melt away, even in the ominous darkness.
In that darkness, the Witch waited for her offering to come to her.
