Lucy had always been a strange child. She was quiet and withdrawn, rarely speaking to anyone except for her family. But as she grew older, her strange behavior only intensified. She became obsessed with power and control, always seeking ways to gain more of it.
Eventually, Lucy discovered that she had a talent for magic. She quickly became one of the most skilled witches in the land, using her powers to bend others to her will.
At first, her subjects did not realize what was happening. They simply noticed that the crops were not growing as well as they used to, and that the animals were becoming sickly. But as time went on, they began to see the true extent of Lucy's cruelty.
People grew weak and frail, unable to work or even care for themselves. Families were torn apart as loved ones died one by one. And all the while, Lucy grew stronger and more powerful, her heart becoming ever more cold and heartless.

And so, with a heavy heart, Lucy relinquished her power and retreated to the shadows, never to be seen or heard from again. The kingdom slowly began to rebuild, and though it would never fully recover from the witch's cruelty, it would eventually find peace once more
