Alruna was just an ordinary daughter of an ordinary man, a carpenter in the countryside. She had the usual upbringing of an impoverished freeman. She was a creditable daughter, bright of eye and ready to take up the mantle of wifery and motherhood until she heard the voices of the Lost Ones. The ancient gods of her people whom they'd worshipped until the temples of The Lady and The Lord of Light arrived, sweeping away the old worship with their new ways.

Hilda paused and checked up and down the path. None in sight. She eyed the trail that branched off before she sighed and set down the basket of vegetables from her cottage garden, carefully placing it on the stump that marked the trail. Father Bruin would not approve, but Father Bruin didn't show up at her cottage, pressing poultices into her hand that saved her Thomas from the wasting cough that was slowly killing him.

Her affinity for the voices cost her. Animals sensed in her something eldritch. Something dangerous. They shied away from her, and this caused the villagers some nervousness. When she met the old crone Vesna, creaking along the road in her wagon, she was inducted into the mysteries of the Lost Gods whose voices she heard. She began to worship the old gods, first in private, then with other villagers. She began to become their spiritual leader, barely tolerated by the Mother of the Temple.

Arthur carried the wrapped bundle from which the scent of meat pies wafted. The missus had selected some of the Earl's own venison to make them. He wouldn't notice the little piece missing. He was obligated to the witch; when his wife's garden wilted, she'd spent the day there, cross-legged, swaying, crooning. By the time she was done, the blight had gone. They could sell produce again.

She studied hard under Vesna whenever the crone came around. She learned the ways of the Lost Ones. Learned how to coax them into doing her bidding. She learned how to hear and treat the land. She learned the ways of plants and the ways of change. The Laws of Magick and Correspondence. Her powers grew, and with them her Faith in the Lost Gods and her standing among her growing following; good parishoners of The Lord and The Lady of Light.

Eldric paused at the edge of the copse of trees. They'd dared him to do it. Called him coward. To prove them wrong he had to return with two apples from the witch's grove. He looked nervously, toward where the cottage was. He'd kept all the trees between him and her home, but he had the feeling she saw him anyway. He snuck through the rowans that shielded her cottage from sight and found himself among the apples.

“What do you plan on doing, Eldric?” the voice asks, gently chiding with an amused tone. “I can't let you steal from me, son.” Eldric's skin crawled with chill. He turned to see the witch, only feet away, arms behind her back. “This is why I will instead gift you the apples.” She pulled the basket she was concealing from behind her. “Fill this. Show those others you had the courage to talk to me and ask.” She suppressed a grin and winked. “We'll keep it our secret that you didn't.”

This is how things stand. She's in an uneasy relationship with the local Temple. The Mother tolerates her presence even though she is not a believer. What powers she receives from these Lost Ones she uses for the benefit of the village, never asking for pay, never doing harm.

But she has her eye on the witch. She has her eye on her.
