Hi!
Alright, alright... :)
I was more thinking along the lines of a story like this:
It all had happened half a century ago. A small girl had gone into a deep forest to collect mushrooms for dinner, then had lost the path and hadn't been able to find back. Instead, she had ventured deeper and deeper into the uncanny woods. Suddenly she had heard strange noises and had seen fuzzy lights all over a certain glade she had just entered: The 'witches of the ghost forest'™ had appeared, and they were more than pleased by the little girl and her stunning courage. She hadn't even attempted to scream or run away, she had just interestedly watched the spectacle.
The witches began to scan her mental abilities and sure they were surprised: that was one talented girl that they had found there! After shortly discussing what to do, they had decided to take the girl to them and make her a fully trained witch.
They had asked the girl what her name was, and the reply had been a quite confident 'Adria'.
15 Years later, Adria must have been in her early twenties, an incident happened that changed her happy witch life completely. It came to be that one beautiful summer day, a young man came into the forest searching herbs for his master. He was trained to be a healer, and was very talented. Adria saw this young man, and she felt things she had never felt before - a new sensation was burning in her heart. She couldn't take her eyes of the young man and stepped in front of him. The young man, who's name was Pepin, was quite scared and frightened because he hadn't heard her coming, but quickly noticed her friendly smile and her pretty face and beautiful body. He had never seen a women like this, and sure enough he felt the flame of desire burning in his heart. The two of them fell in love, and nature took its way. After a sweet and promising night, Pepin fell asleep. Adria however realized that this relationship couldn't survive without the blessing of her older sisters. So she left the place to tell them.
The witches were outraged, for none of them had ever done such an outrageous thing after they had been conversed. They argued with Adria to 'make the baby away' as they called it, but Adria wouldn't want to hear, and wanted to keep whatever the fruit of this night would be. The witches threatened to excommunicate her from their secret order, but Adria didn't bother. She even openly talked about leaving the sisters herself. That made the elder witches really mad, after all they had put many years and a lot of patience in training and educating Adria, and they had learned to love her. Hearing her say that really hurt them, and they swore to her that if she did so, she didn't even ever have to want to come back, because then the ways of the order would stay closed for her. Adria went away, she wanted to search the young love of her life. The witches cursed her and her unborn child. Because they couldn't take her powers from her, they put a hex on her child. As soon as it was born, they said, it wouldl suffer a strange desease and would die within one year.
Adria didn't know about that, for she had already left the sisters, and started her search for Pepin. After months of travelling and asking people where he could be found, she came to a small village called Tristram. She was highly pregnant by now, and needed professional help to give birth to her child. the town people brought her to the healer, and guess who - it was Pepin. The young man had just taken over the position in the village, and was at least as surprised to see Adria than she was to see him. After she broke the message that she was having his baby to him, he was overwhelmed and felt great happiness. The birth took place without intricacies, Adria gave birth to a young boy they wanted to name Seshua, and the couple wanted to marry. But soon their luck was blurred: the child wasn't in good health. It was getting worse and worse from day to day, and Pepin tried his best to cure whatever the poor kid had. To no avail - the child was already on the verge of dying. Adria and Pepin argued over it every day, she believed that he didn't do his best and wanted to let her baby die - the relationship was put on a hard test. When the child finally died, Adria ran away from Pepin, crying and asking why she had such bad luck.
She remembered what powers she possessed and decided to build a shack just on the other side of the river. She wanted to stay in the proximity to take revenge on Pepin and the whole village. Pepin couldn't stand the fact that she left him and the dead child behind, and decided to burry the child. But the village wouldn't let him burry the child in the graveyard, for some already claimed that Adria was a witch. He decided to go to her and burry Seshua near the shack that his former love had built. Adria watched what he was doing, and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. She thought it over and still couldn't find the reason why the boy had died so quickly. Then she had an idea: didn't the witches say something about a hex before she left them? She needed to know if this could be the reason. She went over to Pepin and told him of it. He wouldn't believe her - she actually was a witch? But then again, he said, he and she were in perfect health, he couldn't explain the tragic death of the boy otherways. They decided to stop the conflict between them, but they both knew that nothing was like it had been before.
They both stayed were they were, Pepin in the town and Adria down at the river. Adria swore that from now on, she would use her powers for good, and help the people rather than cause agony as her former sister had caused. So it came to be that she decided to fight against the great evil that moved in town some 30 years later. Both Pepin and Adria decided to help the hero that lately moved into town the best they could to defeat the evil that had been lurking beneath the cathedral for the last years now.
How's this? :)
