Once upon a time in the land of Splinterfell there lived a wicked witch who had been wronged by a desperate family. As revenge, she appeared one dark wintery night at the door of their cottage.

"Who is it?" Samar called. "It is I," came a low voice, "the one from whom you have been stealing." Samar froze. The hairs on his body stood up. The door swung open with a loud thud to reveal a figure cloaked in black. All they could see of her pale face were dark red lips and a pointy chin. As the figure stepped in, a gust of icy wind filled the room and blew the hood of her cloak back, exposing more of her evil face. Samar gasped and his eyes widened in horror. It was the Witch!
