Tana Lea -

The villagers explained their concerns, and Tana listened, her expression unreadable. When they finished, she nodded thoughtfully and invited them inside.

One stormy night, a group of brave (or foolhardy) villagers decided to confront Tana about the strange happenings. They gathered outside her cottage, torches lit, and called out to her. The wind howled, and the rain lashed down, but Tana emerged from the darkness, her eyes flashing with a fierce inner light.

Tana had arrived in Brindlemark a few years ago, with little more than a worn leather suitcase and a quiet determination. She had taken up residence in the old, abandoned cottage on the outskirts of the village, which had been locked and empty for decades. The villagers had grown accustomed to the sight of Tana tending to her garden, gathering wild herbs in the nearby woods, and walking the rugged coastline, her long hair blowing in the wind.

"I am not a witch," she said. "Nor a healer. I am a listener. A listener to the land, to the ancient secrets that lie beneath our feet. This village has a history, one that has been buried for too long. I have come to unravel the threads of the past, to bring balance to the present."
