[WP] You’re a witch hunter employed by church. You take great pride in your job, since you have always believed magic to be a poison to the common folk. However, after you take an arrow to the chest, you are found and nursed back to health by a witch who changes your whole world view.

[WP] Your phoenix is old and dying and you’re spending all your waking moments alongside it. Most don’t understand what saddens you so, after all, she will just come back. But what they don’t understand is that she won’t have her memories, this version of her will be gone forever.
