The Library of the Order — a labyrinth of forgotten knowledge, where Count Veylor has gathered ancient volumes and grimoires for centuries. Every Mistress is drawn here by her own obsessions:
Lysaria with the old holy scriptures,
Malvarra with summoning grimoires,
Savaelle with the dark chronicles of vampirism.
But today’s story belongs to our supreme witch, Xaliryn — her hunger for secrets leads her to the most forbidden volumes, the ones speaking of bodily transformations.
She discovered a grimoire unlike any other: its surface coated with dust, yet glowing faintly with a cold blue light. Inside, she found a passage about a source of wild magical energy hidden in the swamps nearby.
"A source of pure power…" she thought with a wicked grin. Though Xaliryn excelled in potions more than raw spells, the challenge only made her pulse quicken.
Hours later, she stood knee-deep in the swamp, the air thick with unseen energy. As her chanting reached its peak, a circle of magic ignited in the water, casting a deep purple glow around her.
Then, a whisper of movement. A slick touch. Something alive. Something reaching for her...
Continuation of the story awaits in the full set.
