You just wanted to make a little extra cash.

Well, “make a little extra cash”—quietly borrow an expensive medallion from a very rich and very unpleasant guy. Everything was supposed to go smoothly.

It didn’t.

Now they’re chasing you, the forest around you is getting denser, and suddenly a tall tower looms ahead in the middle of the forbidden forest. You decide this is a great place to hide out... and climb inside.

A few seconds later, you’re already lying unconscious.

A little while later, you come to: your arms and legs are tightly bound, the medallion is gone, and standing across from you is a very attractive and extremely self-satisfied girl with gray-violet eyes and a wooden wand in her hand.

Her name is Elira. Young sorceress. She grew up in this tower. She’s almost never seen the real world. And just now, she realized she has the perfect leverage over you.

She smiles with a hint of predation and makes you an offer that... well, will be hard to refuse.

Either you take her to the capital.

Or you’ll never see that medallion again.

Welcome to a deal that’s sure to give you a headache.
