PART 1 – The Unfortunate Witch

In a place surrounded by trees bearing small purple fruits existed a village called Purpleforest. In this village there was a big two store ancient house in the outskirt, folks gossiped that the place was haunted because they could faintly see through the windows the silhouette of people floating around.

In the case of Somara, she had an affinity for shadows, in the sense that she could use her soul power to make her shadow accomplish many different things.

The girl and her best friend grew up together and were always close, running around the village and causing a ruckus in any place they sat foot. Somara and Kaira were the ‘problem girls’ that people talked about, “They will never get a good husband like this” was what the old women usually said, but the pair paid no mind because they had one another.
