Deep within the woods outside the town of Ellerdale sits a lone cottage. Inside, a shut-in Witch works on translating a new spell, one that will allow her to see into someone's future.
At the heart of Ellerdale sits a mansion, the home of Baron Hann. Within, the Baron's fourth son lazes about with nothing to do, until one day the rumor of a Witch hiding out in the nearby forest reaches his ears.
Thus the wheels of fate begin to turn--but not in the way that either of them expect.
I've been thinking of giving web novels a try for a while now--writing them, that is. This contest was a good excuse to start.

Win or lose, I just wanna write. That's all. (Winning would be nice, though.)
