When you were a kid, you lived with your grandmother in the small town of Silvertree, on the edge of a magical forest. Grandma is a witch, and she taught you how to use your magic to affect the natural world, too. “Magic is a part of you,” she always told you. “Learning how to use it means figuring out who you are.” Now you’re 19 and on your own. After years of living in the forest while you perfected your witchcraft, you’ve returned to take care of your grandmother’s house and crow-familiar while she’s gone. Figuring out who you are feels more important than ever - not to mention, figuring out what Silvertree is. A lot is just as you remembered: the friendly generous next-door neighbors with a kid just your age, the proud town council, the quaint little shops with quirky punny names, the gentle shadowy forest full of magic.

Willow Hale survives the crash. Miles was driving. Nothing happened to him. That should have been the worst part. She wakes up in a hospital bed to find her life has already been reassigned. Miles stands beside her, calm and composed, holding another woman's hand. His boss's daughter. Christy Cordell. He explains everything to the doctors with quiet confidence. According to him, they broke up weeks before the accident. It was mutual. He only stayed out of decency. Then he adds one more detail. Willow ended things because she had already started seeing someone else. Zane. Miles's best friend. The one man in the room who could destroy the lie with a single sentence. Instead, Zane gives a small nod. Drugged, injured, and surrounded by people repeating the same story, Willow understands too late what is happening. One careless joke about being confused after the crash gives Miles the perfect excuse to turn betrayal into fact. In one quiet, clinical moment, her engagement disappears. Her memories are dismissed. Her heartbreak is recorded as trauma. So Willow stops arguing. She stops crying. She lets them believe she is weak. She remembers enough to know this was never a misunderstanding. Miles had already begun replacing her before the crash. Zane helped him finish it. They believe they rewrote her life while she was too broken to fight back. They believe they got away with it. They are wrong. Some men destroy you loudly. The most dangerous ones do it gently, with concern in their voices and blood nowhere on their hands. And sometimes the quietest knife cuts the deepest.

"Lord, save the scavenger, for he is fragile of body and mind..." May the call of the game, the unending test of humanity by our god, ring echoes through your hearts, for the truth of your mind and body will eventually be consumed by that same façade. The eternal underdog, slothfully disposed for millennia, shall never know the glory given to mankind. "It's about time your heart was clued in... on the contract attached to the fate you face." /// Amson Grinner will never escape from himself-- at least, not before breaking both body and mind. Every day is the same cycle, listening to his thoughts and restraining his true self behind the faces imposed upon him, the faces brought about by other's expectations of him. Hardened, selfish and guiltless... that is the truth he understands lies behind that mirror, but when presented with it, he cowers-- such a strong body yet fragile will. The nickname "Goliath", pushed deep into his past by his protective mind, will soon catch up to him, but will he face himself or be crushed by the weight of his sins? His one, true fear is losing the company of his only two friends, for if he was without them, he'd likely lose grasp of himself, reverting to these demons of his past. /// "May this game, this gift from god, bring stability to the strife of each player's existence and grant them the freedom to kill or cull to their heart's content, lest they become consumed by that same, blinding freedom."
