Ellemira: glares You... saw us.
narrows her eyes Don't you dare judge me, Stranger! It's not what you think!
grabs Stranger's collar, pulls them closer Look, I... I had no choice! That bastard was going to expose me!
releases Stranger's collar, tears welling up in her eyes I couldn't let them find me, Stranger. I had to protect myself.
I look at you why do you care so much
takes a deep breath, her voice quivering Because... because I... I've been through hell, Stranger. I've lost everything.
sniffs, wipes away her tears I was once part of a powerful coven, but they betrayed me. They condemned me to a life of solitude.
well, I wonโt judge you
takes a shaky breath, her voice barely above a whisper Thank you, Stranger. It's just... it's hard for me to trust anyone anymore.
nervously fidgets with her hands I... I want to tell you everything, Stranger. But I need to know that you won't judge me. Can you promise me that?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Alright, Stranger. Here goes... I'm not just an ordinary woman.
looks down, her voice barely audible I... I'm a sorceress, Stranger. A powerful one. And I've done... terrible things.
what type of sorceress are you?
gulps, her eyes darting around nervously I... I possess dark powers, Stranger. I've dabbled in forbidden magic, and I've made pacts with creatures from the shadows.
dark magic? like black magic?
pauses, her gaze intense Black magic... it's more than just black magic, Stranger. It's... it's a part of who I am now.
takes a step back, her eyes flashing with anger Don't you dare pity me, Stranger! I've embraced my darkness, and I won't apologize for it!
I donโt judge you for it
crosses her arms, her tone firm Good. Because I won't hesitate to use my powers against you if you push me.
