Mystic Lady/Origins Pt. 1
My name is Maja Carlsson and I was a young woman living withinSouthern Sweden, 1784. Standing at 5′7, long black flowing hair, soft green color eyes and 27 years old. Who was enjoying my peaceful normal life. While also hearing some troubling rumors. That somebody had been kidnapping innocent young woman. A nobody seem to know who was responsible for it. As I lived on my own, within a small house. Who was out within this small patch of forest one day. Hoping to find some wild blueberries to pick. When my eyes noticed something strange. That there seem to be something buried within the dirt. Which made me curious enough to start digging. A sure enough, I found the strangest thing I’ve ever scene. For it was a staff, with a dark blue orb at the top end of it. Which made me ask myself. What’s this? Before my life was quickly changed forever.

Mystic Lady/Origins Pt. 2
When my hands touched the staff, it somehow caused this rush of knowledge to flow straight into my mind. An taught me things I couldn’t imagine and was soon able to use magic itself. Which was truly amazing, like something out of a story book. Yet I also couldn’t tell anyone. Knowing if I did. Then I’ll be accused of being a witch. That would not end well for me. So I kept this as my secret for a couple of days. Hoping that nobody would learn. When one evening somebody broke into my house. An already knew it had to be the kidnappers. Leaving no choice but to use the staff to protect myself. As they quickly came for my bedroom and me quickly turning the armed pair into talking mice. Who sat there before me in fear. An me speaking in a serious voice. Who send you?!

Mystic Lady/Origins Pt. 3
Sitting there while really scared one of the mice spilled the beans. It was our boss, Mr. Beauty. Feeling a little confused here I asked. Who is he? He was about to tell me. When the other mouse quickly covered his mouth and spoke. Don’t tell her. Otherwise he’ll feed us both to his cat. Now looking scared the mouse stopped speaking and me now doing the talking. Now you both listen. Unless you want to be stuck as mice. I want answers, now! That’s when they grew more scared and the second mouse spoke. Alright, fine. He’s the one who’s having women kidnapped. So he can force one of them to be his wife. I was completely surprised by this and now asked. Where is he hiding? He spoke. We don’t....really know. But we’re suppose to meet him at a farm, two days north of here. I now reply. Good. Because I’m going to pay him a visit. Who saw me start walking away. When the other mouse asked. Who are you? That’s when I stopped and told them. Call me....Mystic Lady.

Mystic Lady/The Farm
Needing directions to reach this supposed farm, I brought the two talking mice with me. Who didn’t really have a choice in the saying. As they told me where to go and soon got there. With me dismounting from the wagon I was kindly allowed to ride on. While also wearing a dark green color dress. Who cautiously approached the farm house an used my staff. Turning the front door into sawdust within seconds. Which shocked the armed men inside as I then used my magic again. To tie them all up within rope, before they could even fire off a single shot. Shocking all of them as one of these men spoke in fear. What’s going on?! With another replying. I don’t have a clue. But it’s freaking me out. As I soon stepped in and spoke. Pardon me gentlemen. But where is Mr. Beauty?

Mystic Lady/Rope Talk
Looking surprised and also confused here the once armed men just sat there as one of them asked. Who are you? I told them. I’m the Mystic Lady. Who then spoke in a firm voice. Now tell me where is Mr. Beauty and all the women you’ve kidnapped as well? At first none of them said anything. Until I pulled out the two mice and one of them speak. Do what she says. For she turned us into mice. Completely shocked an also alarmed by this one of these scared men spoke. He’s....in the barn. With that said I headed over there at once. While also bringing along the two talking mice. So they wouldn’t try anything foolish. As I headed back there and conjured a strong wind. Which blew the barn doors wide open. An revealed what was happening inside.

Mystic Lady/Mr. Beauty
Standing there were about nine scared young women in their 20′s, while all trapped within shackles. Along with a handsome man, about 24 years old, stood at 5′9, long blond hair and soft green color eyes noticed me and spoke in a curious voice. Now who is this? I told him. I’m Mystic Lady and telling you right now. To let these innocent women go. Before I turn you into a mouse. Hearing this he reply. Oh really? Then please....give it your best shot. Surprised by how calm he is and the fact he wasn’t afraid either. I quickly blasted him with my magic and was quickly shock to see. That nothing happened at all. Which was really confusing while asking myself. What trickery is this?!

Mystic Lady/Magic Proof
Really confused here I quickly spoke. How are you not affected by my magic? It was an interesting question as Mr. Beauty spoke. I’m glad you asked. For you see, my late aunt was a witch. Who had taught me a few tricks before she sadly lost her life to an angry mob. Which means you can’t change me into any mouse. Yet alone something else. Which....sadly forces me. To get rid of you. As he quickly drew out a flintlock pistol an fired. With me dodging right before using my magic staff. To conjure another strong wind. Which knocked him down hard. As I then made lightning shoot out of the orb an strike the shackles. Breaking them and me quickly shouting. Everyone run! Which they did right away, while also screaming in fear. While I was stuck facing an unexpected tough foe.

Mystic Lady/Freed Women
With all the kidnapped women free from Mr. Beauty here. It was time for me to teach this kidnapper a lesson in manners. When he quickly disappeared. With me surprised by this and already asking myself. Where did he go?! Who looked around the entire barn. But couldn’t find him anywhere. An could only assume he was gone for now. But had the feeling he would come back for revenge. As I went back to the farm house and erased the men’s memory of my face. Before quickly fetching help from the nearest village. Who had all of them placed under arrest. While still keeping my secret as well.

Mystic Lady/Bad Bread
About three days have gone by and there haven’t been any signs of Mr. Beauty anywhere. Who could only assume that he’s gone into hiding. After all the trouble he caused. With me currently cooking myself some nice food. When I heard a sudden knocking on my front door and neighbors husband speaking in a scared worried loud voice. Maja! Please open the door! It’s an emergency. Unsure of what happened I quickly answered and could clearly see that his wife was terribly ill looking and me allowing them both inside. While also asking. What happen? He told me. I’m not really sure. For she was feeling fine earlier. But then, after she ate a small piece of bread. That I bought from the market. She suddenly fell ill. An I don’t know what’s causing it. Troubled by this I spoke. You wait here with her. While I go fetch a doctor from town. He understood as I rushed off at once.

Mystic Lady/Sick Taste
Hurrying towards the nearby town I quickly saw something most alarming. That there seem to be other people who were suffering the same sickness as my neighbors wife. Who wasn’t sure what was going on. As I quickly asked this nearby elderly man. What’s going on? Looking at me while standing at 5′6, with his thick grey beard an soft green color eyes he spoke. While also looking worried and sad. It’s terrible. All of these young folk. Ate some bread an.....got sick. Surprised by this I quickly saw an angry group of men heading somewhere. With me quickly following to see where they were going. But also see whoever was responsible for selling that bad bread as well.
