Aban grabbed the rope that the local priest had blessed and his dagger. He had heard the stories: a Demon Mare roaming the woods and stealing souls, even that of a paladin. A white demon was rare, much more noteworthy. If he killed it, that would gain attention. He'd be free from his oppressive lord, taking his mother and brother with him. Even if she was his maidservant. He went out into the forest and began searching.

The sun shone through the leaves of the forest and a breeze made the branches sigh as they brushed against each other. A creek babbled and splashed happily as the quiet sounds of nature filled the sensitive ears of a young mare who walked serenely along the creek. Her white coat and cream colored mane shone in the light so the mare almost glowed. She walked with her head carried high, an unnatural traveling position for a horse, the mare radiated confidence, pride, and strength as she made her way along the water to her hiding place to stay until nightfall.

It took some time, but Aban finally found the demon mare. He took a sharp breath, steeling himself. As silently as he could, he made the rope into a lasso and swung it expertly over his head, and ensnaring the mare around the neck. He ran around a tree, wrapping the rope around it once, and prepared for a fight.

At the sharp pain in her neck, the mare reared up, her front hooves lashing out at the air. Her scream was cut off when the rope tightened and she panicked. Pulling and bucking the white mare gasped for breath and in an instant where the mare had been lay a young woman in a knee length purple tunic, her long blonde hair splayed out on the ground . Her hands clawed at the rope as tears streamed from her eyes.

Aban was stunned. "The demon mare... is a woman?" he asked incredulously. The rope dropped from his hand as he approached, dagger in hand. He brought it up to the woman's neck...
And cut the noose. He put his weapon away. "Killing another human," he murmured, "does not justify becoming a freeman paladin." Aban started towards the village.

Eden rolled onto her hands and knees, staring at the man in shock,
"You're not going to kill me?" She asked, moving to her feet, one hand rubbing her sore and reddened neck.
"But... you know what I am."

"I won't kill a human for glory," said Aban. "It's sick. I want to free my family and friends, but not by killing an unarmed woman." He paused. "I see you now, but I don't know you. But there are others thirstier for glory than I am."

"Glory?" Eden asked, then took a step forward. She was thoroughly impressed by the man's attitude. He had the chance to kill her, he could have rid the kingdom of a witch, but he didn't. When he spoke of freedom, that notion resonated with Eden,
'I can help you," She said,
'I can give you what you need for both freedom and glory... I can give you power."

"Power?" Aban asked. His mind flashed to his mother and brother.

Eden smiled and nodded, spreading her hands open.
"I am a witch... I can teach you things, I can give you the power you want." She tilted her head to the side, her blue eyes soft and wide,
"You're interesting, and you seem to be interested in what I have to offer."

Aban listened. He sighed. "I want to free my family," he said. "Our lord is cruel, and he uses my mother for sport. I want to give my family, and others, freedom and hope." Aban took a deep breath. "If you are willing, I will be your disciple... your apprentice."

Eden smiled. It was a warm, deep smile, but one that spoke of secrets.
"You are my student, that is all. I require no disciple so get that out of your mind." Taking his hand, Eden began leading Aban deeper into the forest,
"What is your name? You can call me Eden."

"My name is Aban," he said. "Aban Llewellyn." He'd been raised conservatively, so even a girl touching his hand was enough to make him blush. "I came out to find the demon mare, but..." He trailed off. "But it's beyond the question now." He slipped his dagger back into its sheath, and collected the rope.

"Well, as you can see I am not a demon... the mare form is a form I prefer when I am alone in the woods. There have been many men who have hunted me, and horses are much faster than humans," Eden laughed, throwing her head back as the pair came out into a clearing with a massive oak tree at one end. Eden paused at the edge of the clearing and turned to Aban,
"Now, let's get one thing clear. If you betray me by stealing away in the night and bringing hunters down on me, I will do very bad things," She said, her eyes narrowing into a hard glare in her tanned skin,
"I will do very bad things to people you love, and I will leave you in a drooling mess, but your memories completely intact so you will always remember how you wronged me."

Aban listened silently, following close behind. When she warned him about betrayal, he frowned. "I may be a simple serf," he said, "but I will not sell out my one chance to free my family and friends of our lord's oppressive yoke. I want my brother to have a better life. I want to see my mother genuinely smile instead of putting on a mask of false hope to keep her sons going."

"Good," She said, turning back to the clearing and pointing to the oak tree.
"That is my home, it is called Warm Heart. She is very, very old and very wise." Taking Aban's hand, Eden lead him to the foot of the tree where a hollow lead to the heart of the tree. The oak bent and swayed in the breeze, but the power emanated from its branches and Eden smiled,
"Hello dear. This is Aban," She said, speaking to the tree,
"He will live here now." With that, Eden walked into the tree. Inside was a hearth, a wide bed in the corner, various pillows, books, vials, jars, and other things on shelves around the inside of the tree, creating a warm and lived in environment. A winding staircase of branches lead up in a spiral to the top of the tree where sunlight poured in, lighting up the tree.
"Welcome to your new home." Eden said, letting go of Aban's hand and gesturing to their surroundings.

"She?" Aban murmured. Hd was uncertain - even a little afraid - when the old tree began moving of its own accord. But inside, he felt wonder. The young man flitted from specimen to specimen in excitement. When he saw the stairs he went up to get a look at the forest.

Eden followed Aban up the ;staircase up into the canopy of the tree. At the very top it opened up into the leafy crown of Warm Heart and the two humans were looking out over the forest. Coming closer to Aban, Eden pointed to a spiral of smoke reaching to the sky,
"There is the village," She said, then pointing another direction to the mountains,
"There are the Blue Kings. That is what witches call them, they guard the valley in our folklore." She explained before smiling at Aban,
"I come up here a lot to think and watch the sunset. You're welcome to come here whenever you want."

Aban was speechless. The view was wonderful. "So what now?" he asked.

"Well, it is still early in the day..." Eden leaned against the rough trunk of the tree, crossing her arms across her chest,
"We should probably make sure you have things you will need to be living here. And we will have to discuss the sleeping situation."
