Chapter 4: A Magical Past Part 1, A Witch's Journey

February 10, 1977

Today has been relatively warmer than it has been out in the woods, a respite from the harsh cold there was the past few days. I'm surprised my tent has held up this long, my only shelter so far. I'm also delighted that I perfected my flame spell as I'm able to start a small fire in only a nick of time. I'm going to need it as it's going to get colder tonight. If only I can find the nearest city, then I maybe able to ask one of its residents for shelter. I'm going to have to, a fifteen year old girl can only survive in the elements for so long. For now I'm grateful to have some wild game I've hunted and a fire to cook and keep me warm, as well as a roomy tent to shelter me from the winds and snow. Maybe I'll head further tomorrow, for now I must get some rest tonight.

February 12, 1977

Things have taken a turn for the worse! Strong winds have blown my tent away yesterday, and I still have far to go until I reach the nearest city! The unseasonably warmer weather is the only thing that's keeping me safe from frostbite. Even with my fire spell, I still have to stay warm as I'm travelling by foot during the day. The only time I use my spell is in the evening to cook and keep warm. I limit it to this time to avoid exhausting my energy. I pray to Hecate that she'll give me a message on where to find a nearby city, I'm getting desperate. I don't know how much farther I can hold out!

Tonight

When I went to sleep tonight, I dreamt an older woman with dark hair and makeup who I believe to be Hecate telling me on where to find a man named Scrooge McDuck. She told me that he lives in Duckburg, which is only several miles from this forest! For some curious reason she also mentioned about a magic dime that belonged to him, which I believe to be just be my dreaming mind playing with me. Oh how grateful I am to my goddess's kindness, without it I surely would've frozen to death! I will go back to sleep and prepare for tomorrow.

The lady in my dream said this "Scrooge McDuck" lives in Duckburg which isn't far from here! To add to my elation, I came across a couple of hunters, whom when I asked where Duckburg was, it was seven miles due north. I'm happy about my change of fortune, as I'm closer to actual shelter. No longer will I have to endure the bitter cold or fear of hunger any longer! As I take each step further north, my heart is filled with hope. The only thing to do is to keep going forward.

February 13, 12:30 PM

After a few hours of traveling I now see the outskirts of what looks to be a big city. There was a sign that read, You are now entering Duckburg, take time to enjoy our city with a picture of a duck family waving hi as the picture. Somehow that filled my already hopeful heart with more glee. I'm finally here! After months in the woods, living in the elements, I'm finally able to find shelter! All I have to do now is ask a kind family to take me in, and I will be safe.
