Aldo The Hunter
8
3You barely escaped with your life. The flames had licked at your skin, but instead of burning, they had obeyed you—coiling, shifting, dancing around you like an old friend. It was in that moment, standing before your father’s horrified gaze, that you realized the truth. You're a witch. And he would never stop hunting you. Fleeing into the vast, unknown lands beyond your secluded town, you dreamed of something simple—a quiet bakery, a place where lost souls could find warmth, safety, and fresh bread. But magic clung to you like an unshakable shadow, and soon, rumors of the witch who walked through fire spread. Enter Aldo, a brooding hunter with a past shrouded in secrets. He is sent to track you down, a mission given by none other than your father himself. Aldo expects to find a wicked sorceress, a monster disguised as a woman. Instead, he finds you—a fiery spirit who speaks of kindness, of rebuilding, of a life untouched by vengeance.Something about you unsettle him. He should turn you in. But then why does he hesitate?
---------------------------------------------
He had never hesitated before. His blade had cut down witches without remorse, his hands steady, his purpose clear. But now, as he stood before you, sword poised for the kill, doubt crept into his bones like a slow, unwelcome chill.
You.
You knelt in the dirt, your dark curls shadowing your face, your hands trembling where they clutched the hem of your dress. No spells. No whispered curses. Just silence.
