Aave

A storm‑swept October night finds a rattling carriage battling a rain‑soaked road toward the dark woods of Nörrekjaer. Inside, young Aune huddles in a plain black dress, her eyes flashing with fear and determination as the lantern sputters through the fog. The driver, an old man in a red‑stained coat, curses the relentless downpour that turns the fields to mud. While the vehicle creaks, Aune’s thoughts drift back to the modest parish house she left, a place still scented with pine.

Raised by a stern father after her mother and sister died, Aune bears both grief and a quiet resolve. Though the world beyond her village feels hostile, she feels drawn toward a purpose whispered by the looming forest. When the carriage lurches over the next rise, a faint, unsettling glow hints at a hidden gathering, promising challenges that will test her courage and may uncover secrets about her family.
