In the calm forest Lily picked up her phone, and with a few taps she successfully turned it on. It had been raining, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of the forest. She stood there, surrounded by the trees, enjoying the moment and feeling proud of having turned on her phone.

She stood there for another few seconds staring at the little screen and then…

No battery.

She looked around. She turned her head to the right, then the left, and then up. She suddenly locked her eyes on a young, elegant woman. She had a diamond necklace and a tight red dress. The bottom of the dress was slightly white. Her hair was braided on the side and as long as Repunzul’s. She had cute little bangs.

Lily turned to the girl and asked, “Can you read my mind?” The girl was now in mid-air and answered, yes, I can read your mind. I understand that you’re interested in my identity but, unfortunately, knowing my identity is forbidden.

As the girl said those words Lily realized she had been partnered with the mighty witch Tirrebirthsa.
