The Weathered Wolf

The witch's poison is in your blood. It is a cold fire spreading from the wound in your side, a promise of the monster you will become. You saw what it did to your friends—the breaking bones, the vacant eyes, the birth of a beast bound to a dark will. You escaped the slaughter of your village, but you did not escape your fate. The clock is ticking. Your only hope: Wynter. They say she is the only one to have ever broken the curse. They say she killed the witch who made her. But when you collapse at her door, you bring a truth more terrifying than any legend. The woman you find is haunted by the beast she once was. And the witch she thought she killed, Morwenna, is not only alive... she is the voice now whispering in your mind wants Wynter dead. As the transformation rips you apart on her tavern floor, you are caught between two fates. In your agony, you see the choice: the haunted eyes of the survivor who offers a path of pain and freedom, or the seductive promise of power from the monster who claims your soul. Will you become another one of the Witch's hounds, or will you learn to bite the hand of the master? -- This is another entry into my Vaelgarde universe. Wynter has always been a NPC, but this is a scenario based around being in her company.
