I recently spoke to the eminently beautiful Miang-Si. Quite the interesting young lady, it seems she is intent on staying young and beautiful forever. More than that, she claims she has been promised a way to do this. That she has a gift she believes can be trained to help reach immortality. An unfortunately familiar goal. As for her potential tutors, she spoke of those who can part waters and speak to ghosts. Perhaps the ladies of the lake? It would fit her sneaking out, I believe. She certainly has some magical potential, although to what end she can be taught I couldn't comment.

Our young mistress also mentioned an old friend of ours. Anui, The Huntress, who as recently mentioned was seen in was these woods. It seems in a fit of vanity Miang-Si sought her out and met her. She was... compelled by her. I'd imagine that speaks to some skill or touch of death on her part.

Interestingly, whoever her potential tutors are want something from her. They did not meet the Huntress as she did, before the local villagers drove her away. I do wonder what they think she knows, or has?

On a more entertaining note, she also appears to be convincing her father to fake his death so she can be more appealing to marry. Apparently, tragically dead parents are fashionable.

My role grants easy access to Miang-Si should anyone further need it.

Are they wielding it, or simply claiming to? It's an easy enough thing to claim.

Such promises have been made true for other witches, but only for as long as they remained of use to their master. I've witnessed eternal youth turn to dust.

I should think it possible enough here, but to what end for those who grant it?

Ellethia sought immortality. It found destruction.

[matermali]

Yes. And damnation of the soul.

Such a tendency that witches seem to favor in any realm so long as they have something to serve. Destroying their master, their idol, has been my best counter.

[ But. The moon. ]

Miang-Si's idol appears to be the Huntress. The other witches, as noted, appear focused on a moon ritual. I wonder, however, who they learned this art from?

[matermali]

[ Taking down the Huntress should be a lot easier than taking down moons.

But the one who bestowed the knowledge is who she truly meant by their 'master', and she is glad that he agrees in his curiosity; who is the giver of this 'gift'? Another incarnation of the Prince of Lies? ]

That creature is the one we must truly seek, I believe, if we hope for the truth of it.

Only they could tell you who gave them this as an option.
