Introduction: The Coven and the Old Forest
The forest expanded far beyond its original ground, fuelled by the sinister magic practiced by the Coven it protected under its mantle of darkness. The canopy shrouded the nearby city and the streets were taken by the twisted roots of the trees that explosively grew there. It surely wasn’t a natural phenomenon and the advance slowly but surely expelled even the most stubborn of old-timers. The vegetation invaded buildings and houses yet, perhaps knowingly, left the witches’ houses alone as well as clears for them to move, including certain buildings for the witches to use. Without actually planning it, the Coven had conquered the city and no one knew it was actually their doing. As with all plans that conveniently appear, one could be sure that somebody else was pulling the strings.
The forest needed, depended on the witches to keep providing the magic it avidly devoured. The witches were well aware of that but such generosity coming from a forest had made them nervous. The Coven assembled one moonless night to discuss the matter but found out an unnerving feeling all around. It was as if the forest was listening and expecting, demanding a dark ritual to further feed its unending hunger for magic. The following morning, the witches gathered in an old building far from the city which had been abandoned after the forest took over. They felt safer there but still noticed restlessness, nervousness in the forest in the distance. Looking, wondering and, of course, expecting its ration.
It became clear to the witches that the forest was no longer safe for them and so the Coven decided that their rituals and gatherings were to be moved to another forest; the one outside a nearby city where a good part of the populace of the consumed city had moved. Perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to see dark tendrils and twisted branches reaching for the verdant lands they called home now. It appeared like a fog in the distance, a solid, disturbing view which only the witches instantly recognised. It was a matter of time for the old forest to reach them and they were sure that it wouldn’t let them leave as easily as it once did. That night, the old forest burnt under the combined power of the whole Coven. The flames were seen for leagues all around and the city spoke of the incident for years.
For many years, the place was desolate and abandoned. That was until a young witch decided to visit the old forest and see what had been of the now forsaken place. It was a charred land without any sign of life. She walked amidst ash and remnants of what once had been a city. Under the protection of ruined buildings she noticed vegetation, dark and twisted: most probably plants that had been burnt in the fire. She was wrong. Soon tendrils and branches reached for her and only her prodigious use of magic helped her escape. She warded the place before leaving so that any witch would know what to expect and anyone without magic knowledge would feel repelled by the place. The old forest was marked as a cursed land by the Coven but they knew it was just a temporary solution. The old forest was very much alive and still waiting, wanting, expecting the Coven to return or to seize them at any opportunity and keep them, forever feeding of their darkness.
