Welcome back. WARNING CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND HEAVY SUBJECTS also although this is a large time skip it's not relevant to the main story yet.
Lilith opened her eyes and gasped coughing up water and a bit of blood before finding her staff in the muddy riverbank where she was laying while struggling to stand up while holding her side to feel a small entrance as she drove her fingers deep into it and then screamed as she pulled out a small metal ball from her wound and tore her dress wrapping the wound with her torn sleeve.
After a few sticks and a simple fire spell, Lilith sat down near a campfire eating a handful of berries that she found in a few bushes as well as eating a few cooked faires over the fire with a stick and using a few branches and leaves as a handmade blanket as she drifted off to sleep waking up the next day before leaving the riverbank and started walking into the woods with nothing except her staff and palisman before looking into her sack to find only books, spare clothing which she quickly changed into, and a small square box with mixed colors that Eda had given her as a gift from the human realm years ago which was a small mechanical puzzle that she still couldn't solve.
A week later
Soon after walking a bit more, she stopped near her home, a large mansion where she had saved up and bought as she entered her bedroom as it was mostly empty as she looked around before taking looking at the expensive things from large curtains and silverware before seeing a photo frame faced down which she lifted to show her and Eda as young teens backs during their final year at Hexside which was the year she had...
Lilith then stopped before taking the photo out and putting it into her pocket, she then started trashing the entire room before going to the kitchen and taking out all the alcoholic drinks in the cabinets and started pouring them around the house till the last drop as she stepped out and simple lit a match and tossed it along with her coven uniform and cloak setting the house ablaze looking away from it as the sounds of crackling came from the inside before it collapsed and simply continued walking.
Two months and a half after
Lilith rested near a tree while eating a few berries with staying awake as it was night and boiling rain was starting to fall she made a small shield and continued walking while walking under a protective shield before stopping seeing a bright light in the distance as then slowly approached it and saw the owl house under a large shield before watching it with a pair of binoculars looking at the dining table seeing her sister and the two humans she had met at the convention sitting down smiling with joy.
Lilith then approached the door to find the house demon sleeping and was about to knock before stopping herself. What would she even say? "Sister I'm sorry for this but I got kicked out of the coven and also I cursed you when we were young" so can I stay with you?"
She thought sarcastically before turning around and continuing her walk before she then thought about everything that led her to be in this position, alone, cold, and lonely while walking barefoot in the mud, her hair covered in mud and leaves, before dropping to her knees and as the spell kept her safe from the rain. she screamed in pain, guilt, and agony while she simply curled into a ball and started crying from the guilt and suffering she had caused to her sister as her palisman grabbed moved her under a small rock structure while placing its wings near her to give its master comfort tightly wrapping a pile of leaves around Lilith like a blanket as the witch simply stayed awake for another night before walking.
Three months into self-exile
Ignoring the lack of water and proper food in her system as she continued walking seemingly with no objective to reach before slipping and falling off a small cliffside causing her to stumble and fall on a rock causing her to lose consciousness while also scrapping and scarring her right eye as she laid on the ground motionless before a figure then lifted and carried her on a cart as the raven pasliman then simply followed.
A Week Later
"I've been on the road a couple of months..." Lilith said after she decided to speak to her savior after waking up as her eye was now covered with an eyepatch as her hair had gotten longer and the dye was slightly gone showing a bit of her original hair color to which she cut it to the shortest length. "By yourself?" "Yeah," Lilith replied before clutching her wrist to hide the coven symbol on it as their conversation continued.
"Where did you live before that?" "I was in a home with a family." She said trying not to show any emotion. "Was it bad?" "No, they were good people."
"What happened?" The witch asked as she tended to Lilith's wounds "She just lost it..." Lilith told her groaning in pain as gauze was applied to her cut lip. "Who?" Lilith handed the witch the photo of her and Eda pointing to herself. "The sister... I barely got out alive... ." "I'm sorry and I didn't get your name..."
The witch asked her as Lilith simply spoke out a simple word "Calamity." That was the last thing she said before standing up and leaving with her palisman and staff as she traveled the road to wherever it lead her anywhere far from Bonesborough and her sister before looking at a sign saying Latissa as she entered hoping to start a new life.
