As a wayward Witch, you have enough to worry about. Your powers, gifted to you by a curious demon, the past you run from, even trying to get by enough without raising the ire of the neighbouring town. But when you find yourself implicated in a nefarious deed, it's time to step out of your own isolation, and clear your name.
But... Which name? The false one you've been using in town, or the one you left behind after running away from your past?
What are you running from? Being accused of Dark Magic as a student? An arranged marriage set up by your family? Your own family? Kidnappers? Or... Prison?

They know that is too late, but they try to defy fate all the same.

Four years of continuous hard work and pressure have made you a proud freshman at Yale University. And as if that wasn't enough, you have been handpicked to attend Rathore College, whose selection process is revered across all the nation's top educational institutions.

Yale is a crucible of power, where secret societies wield arcane magic and the dead are far from silent.

From the White House to Hollywood's most acclaimed stars, their influence reaches farther than anyone can dare to imagine.
A sinister conspiracy brews under Styx's watchful gaze, one that threatens to unravel the fragile balance between the living and the dead. But in a graveyard of secrets, you and your accomplices are the ones with the shovels. You're now in a world where the past is never truly dead, and the lines between life and death blur with each passing day.
But some secrets are better left buried, and some prophecies are destined to drag you to hell.

"The silver of the fruit tastes sweeter than the iron of the blood."
There is a City in the center of the remaining world, said to house and protect the last gift from the Old Gods before they vanished. Your mother had told you stories of it as a child, before she died. No one is allowed to enter the City of Forgotten Silver without extensive documentation and proof they are worthy. Not everyone is allowed to grace divinity.
There is no reason for you, a nobody, to be here but you've managed to worm your way in. You know the consequences if you get caught, and you know to keep your head down as often as you can. The risk to be here is great, for the City is desperate to protect what remains of the past. Everyone who has dared to take the Old God's last gift, a fruit with silver skin, has had their execution made a spectacle. For this fruit is the key to reviving the world to what it used to be. Or so it is believed. It's why those in power will do anything to protect it.
You know this, but you have a plan to attempt its theft anyway. For without it, how else will you finally bring this world to its end?

Not that you know the stories. Why would you? You are a child kidnapped for unknown purposes. You barely know anything about yourself. Your life is one of pain and suffering at the hands of people you do not know.
In a moment of desperation, a plea leaves your lips. Or perhaps it is only in your mind. Unexpectedly something hears you and will never ignore a broken child alone in the dark asking for help. You are saved but you are permanently scarred by your experiences. Given into the care of the newly created Orphanage of Firgrat, here is where your journey truly begins. How will you cope with your past and current reality? Can survive the cruel world of Wocdes, the weight of your trauma? Can you help others survive? Can you grow up, make friends, learn to love, and become a real person again?
So, who fights monsters?
You do.
You were once just another resident of Appalachia, born and bred in rural West Virginia. While wandering the backwoods, you've learned a thing or two about some of the more bizarre creatures living out here. Still, you remained firmly in the camp of deliberate ignorance.
The rules were simple.

Everyone is lying... especially the traitor who's infiltrated the group.
But that's fine...
