Captivating Rosaline

Lore[]

Rosaline the witch coexisted with nature. She was beautiful in mind and spirit, and she loathed any kind of immorality. Many visited the plains where she lived in order to catch even a glimpse of her. She gave her onlookers an innocent smile as she took her beasts for their regular walk. However, one handsome man caught her eye. Her heart utterly stolen by his looks, she finally realized what it was like to feel covetousness.
