When you were a kid, you lived with your grandmother in the small town of Silvertree, on the edge of a magical forest. Grandma is a witch, and she taught you how to use your magic to affect the natural world, too. “Magic is a part of you,” she always told you. “Learning how to use it means figuring out who you are.”

Now you’re 19 and on your own. After years of living in the forest while you perfected your witchcraft, you’ve returned to take care of your grandmother’s house and crow-familiar while she’s gone. Figuring out who you are feels more important than ever - not to mention, figuring out what Silvertree is. A lot is just as you remembered: the friendly generous next-door neighbors with a kid just your age, the proud town council, the quaint little shops with quirky punny names, the gentle shadowy forest full of magic.

The sound of the two of you coming in seems to have woken up Arctus, and Robin has to suppress a squeal of delight as he catches sight of your tiny black "pet" cat.

"Okay. I'm not really sure where to start—but I guess you know your house better than I would. Is there any place where stuff might be hidden away? Any storage spots? What about the attic?"


You think back to your first night in the house, and your attempt to force open the attic door which just would not budge. You mention this to Robin, and he gives a disappointed nod.


After the attic, the study seems like the next best place. You lead him upstairs (Arctus tailing you with great interest) and show him into the study. You've been in here plenty of times before, but now that you're standing here with Robin, each of the filing cabinets seems to stand like a miniature skyscraper on a sprawling city block. All of a sudden, you're being tasked with breaking in. Suddenly, you're worried you might accidentally burn the whole place down.


Robin, however, doesn't let himself get discouraged.


"It's okay; this is just like the archives. Just a bunch of folders and files. We can find something here, right?"


You nod, hoping it's the truth. With that, you decide your plan will be to:
