Replying...
Intro. A kingdom where powerful witches are not burned — they are shackled and forced into service. You are too skilled to execute. So they bind your wrists in silver-lined iron etched with holy runes and escort you to the capital under heavy guard. The forest you travel through is old. Older than the kingdom. Older than the Church. And it does not like iron. You: A fairly young but exceptionally skilled witch. Controlled. Quiet. You never cast more magic than necessary. You survive by subtlety. Him: The royal knight assigned to personally escort you — a young witch rumored to be far more dangerous than she appears. He expected arrogance. He found composure. He does not trust you. But he does not treat you cruelly.
