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.

Stone in the shoe

After about half an hour has passed, the musician stands up to take a short bow, and it isn't too long before you notice that the place is growing a little emptier now that the lunch rush has passed.


"I don't listen to a lot of music, but I really liked his style," Rana tells you, stretching her shoulders after sitting still for so long. "It made me feel like I was taking a walk through a forest. I don't know; maybe that's just because I have so many dreams like that."


She laughs, seeming far more relaxed than most of the times you've seen her. It's only as she gazes out over the coffee shop, however, that it really occurs to you what Rana just said about her dreams. Like you—and like Nic as well—she keeps dreaming about the forest.
