This is an essay on the night cardinal.,Inspiration.,The original intention was to supplement the "ageless" witch's own design.。 ）

Leermu Village is located in a valley on the side of the mountain, with more than 30 households and more than 100 people settled, and it is a half-day's walk from the nearby county seat.

On the outskirts of the village, in an old half-ground-level house.

"Sister, there will only be two of us left in the future."

Twelve-year-old Rubian looked at the empty main house after his father's funeral, and couldn't help but grab the skirt of the girl next to him-

Although she has only been in the family for half a year, after her father died of a sudden illness, her sister is indeed his only family.

At this time, Rubian, who was still young, could not clearly understand his father's original idea of adopting his sister.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you."

The young girl, Omir, rubbed her brother's hair, injecting a sense of reassurance into his body and heart.

She has a faint comforting smile on her face, her curved brows are slightly immature, her eyes are a little mature, her facial features are exquisite, her posture is beautiful, and her youthful and beautiful temperament sets off a simple skirt that is particularly attractive.

Omir did what he said.

Although she was only seventeen years old, she did fulfill her responsibilities and took good care of her younger brother under all kinds of pressure.

But...... Recently.

Less than a year later, Rubian also became seriously ill, and the prescription for the disease actually needed tiger bones as a medicine.

There is no way.

In order to save his younger brother, Omir, who had just come of age, had to grieve himself, married the twenty-year-old Orion in the village, Geom, and got the medicine to cure his younger brother.

This made the eighteen-year-old Si Yiri very sad.

Because he and his father also hunted tigers, but when they came back a few days late, they completely missed their beloved girl.

And just like that, a year passed.

Omir is still young and beautiful, but he has also completely lost some of his former youthfulness.

Perhaps because of the pride of life, the young and vigorous Geom was on his way home from a drunken illness, and because of a frivolous joke, the single old man in the village fell to his death.

It's big or small.

If it is reported to the government, Gium will also spend several years in prison...... If you don't pursue it, the old man has no relatives, and his age can be regarded as a normal life, and Giom will help deal with the aftermath and it will be over.

In this small village, the decision to do things is in the hands of the thirty-two-year-old village head, Jared.

Omir had no choice but to come to the door to intercede, begging for a night, and finally begging the village chief to relent.

Although Gyome, who went home safely, was angry, because he was at fault at the beginning, he could only swallow his breath, and he had to make friends with the village chief on the surface.

Another two years of stable life passed.

At this time, Omir's face was still the same, but his temperament had changed.

During this period, because of his gratitude for the help of the village chief, Omir would often visit the village chief and send some game.

Sixteen-year-old Rubian has grown a lot, and is vaguely aware of what he has lost under the reminder of his friend Uwanan, who is a year older than him.

He recklessly asks his sister questions, and then receives gentle comfort.

In a quiet mountain village, ten years pass in a flash.

Omir's face began to show slight marks of age, but it seemed to make her more moving.

Giaume was a little worried.

Because, for more than ten years, he has not had a son and a half daughter, his parents have also died, and the family is a little deserted...... Another point is that his brother-in-law is twenty-six years old, but he has never planned to get married.

The situation of the old village chief's family is not good, the son is lost, the wife is crazy, and there is only one person left.

One day, Uwanan wanted to ask his friend Rubian for help, but accidentally ran into a secret...... So, too, he got the treasure.

……

More than thirty years passed.

Already visibly senile, Aure's demeanor occasionally reveals a special attraction.

Half curious, half confused, the boy next door Falvo learns a new game.

Perhaps because of the young man's carelessness, it didn't take long for his little secret to be discovered by his parents, where he was stopped, educated, and strictly guarded.

This made him very angry.

As time went on, when his parents matched him for him, the anger in his heart also burned to the top.

At this time, he happened to find an opportunity to feel the beauty of the game again.

In contrast, Volvo, driven by extreme emotions, removes the obstacles to his own game, and in the panic afterwards, he comes to the next door to ask his playmate for help.

Omir's comfort reassured him.

That night, Omir invited seven of his infatuated admirers to his home for the Last Supper.

For various reasons, these people have lost all other bonds, and only the only Omir remains...... They are more or less aware of each other's existence, and although they have some complaints in their hearts, they have in fact accepted that they share the only one they love.

During dinner.

Omir invited everyone to die with him.

She prepared the "immortality" potion in front of everyone, and told them that she would use a young and beautiful image to be buried with everyone.

Obviously, no one will refuse.

So after the meal, everyone went to the main house, obeyed Omir's instructions, and formed a complete promotion ceremony.

"Let's make this house our common grave."

As he spoke, Omir lit the piles of dry wood around him, reinforcing the ritualists' conviction.

This is the last deception.

She stood among them with the potion.

"Gyome...... Jared ...... Rubian ...... Uwanan ...... Twor ...... Sirry ...... Volvo. ”

Omir rolled his gaze, pronounced the names one by one, and after stirring everyone's emotions, he raised his head and drank the "immortal" potion in his hand.

The grayish color started from her lips and quickly spread throughout her body, turning her into a stone statue.

The seven people on the periphery could clearly see that the stone statue of Omir had indeed regained his youth and beauty.

So, without the slightest fear, with anticipation and satisfaction, in the last moments before the gray and white color spread to their bodies, their minds flashed back to the fond memories of their years with Omir.

Crackle, crackle.

It didn't take long for the fire to start raging.

Suddenly.

Omir, who had been transformed into a stone statue, suddenly let out a slightly painful groan, broke free from the stone shell on the surface of his body, and returned radiantly.

"It's successful, I, Katarina, have finally been promoted to the 'ageless' witch!"

After a few laughs, Caterina regained her composure and looked at the seven stone statues around her:

"Thank you for your efforts, you are my most important rite of resurrection, and I will be with you forever."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the shattered stone shells on the ground flew up one after another, reassembling the stone statue after she had taken the potion.

Crackle, crackle.

The flames raged around her, but Caterina didn't care at all.

She removes the pre-arranged mirror and unravels the mirror spell, and the entire "resurrection ritual" in the main house disappears and is transferred to the "mirror space".

The next moment, the newborn "ageless" witch disappeared into the fire.
