Welcome to Legend of Aventress. I am Grico Grimgrin and you are listening to Once Upon a Witch Life.

Once upon a time, a carnival of friends found themselves lost in the Faywild. They arrived there

through fate or fortune, overburdened by promises made and deals brokered.

It is here in the Faye Wild that they find themselves, deep within the lands of Yon on the highest peaks of the highest mountain,

as they prepare to perform for the hag known as Bitter End.

Their souls leaden with the weight of countless unbreakable packs, to reunite a woman and a warhorse,

to find a missing brother, to return a snake son to a snake family, the promise to sabotage

the theater on opening night, to free a goblin merchant from a curse destined to take his life,

to reunite a lonely unicorn with her only love. And yet, with so much

left to accomplish, they have already done so much. In Yon alone, they have mended a year's long

feud between two warring factions, freed a troop of Periton performers from eternal toil,

and returned an elven prince to the home where he belongs.

With so much still before them, on this night their minds are consumed with stage fright.

Having just encountered the last member of the hourglass coven, Carnival LeCrew has been

tasked to perform for the dame of unhappy endings herself, and though their time is running

out,

for tonight they must push their responsibilities aside

and perform as if their lives depended on it,

and with Endelen and audience, they very well might.

For in this moment, the only thing that matters

is the sound of the applause.

Apples, applause, applause, applause.
