The Trees Swallow People: Finale
My body ached the next morning. I don't mean later in the morning. I mean the next morning; we slept for twenty-four hours. The blank, open sky visible through the window was slowly being bleached with the sunrise. Silent, sheer clouds were fading in the distance. Pairs of magpies and starlings glided across the sky as I groaned to sit upright in the bed, fighting against sharp throbs of worn and torn muscles.

Curse of witch
Once upon a time, Isabella was a stunning young woman who resided in a little village. She was renowned for her breathtaking beauty and her compassionate nature throughout the hamlet. The other ladies in the hamlet, however, harbored jealously and resentment since they were unable to match Isabella’s beauty. They started to make false claims about her, claiming that she was a witch who employed black magic to seduce men and win their hearts. These accusations profoundly affected Isabella, but she made an effort to move on with her life anyhow. But as the rumors persisted, the locals gradually started to avoid her. Every time she passed by, they would avoid her and talk behind her back. Isabella felt alone and lonely, and she started to think the allegations were genuine. A group of peasants came up to Isabella one day and accused her of being to blame for the drought that was destroying the community. They said that she ought to be punished because her evil magic was to blame for the drought. Isabella sought to convince the locals of her innocence, but they were unreceptive. She was dragged to the village’s center where they tied her to a stake. Isabella realized her fate was set as the villagers surrounded her. She prayed for a miracle and closed her eyes, but nothing happened.Isabella felt the flames envelop her body as the villagers set the stake on fire. As the fire engulfed her, she yelled in anguish and realized that she was going to die. Isabella, however, cursed the town and everyone who lived there as she drew her final breath. She vowed that the people would pay for what they had done to her and that her death would not be in vain. Isabella, who had been accused of using dark magic by the locals, summoned its forces with her last breath and laid a curse on the community that would continue for many generations. A deadly plague spread through the community as a result of the curse, killing many residents.After the crops failed, starvation broke out. The villagers started getting sick and feeble, and they started to worry about their safety. They were aware that they had offended a strong force and needed to atone for their actions before it was too late. The townspeople looked for a cure for the curse but came up empty-handed. They sought assistance from the nearby communities, but were received with hatred and distrust. No one wanted to get engaged because the curse had left their town and spread elsewhere. Years passed, and the town was still plagued by the curse. Desperate, the villagers sought out the only person they thought might save them: a wise old woman who lived far away in the forest.The villagers thought that she could assist them in lifting the curse because it was said that she had extensive understanding of magic and the paranormal. After hearing their cries, the elderly woman consented to assist. She studied the curse for many days and nights before figuring out how to break it. She advised the villagers to track down an Isabella-related person and beg for her pardon. The curse couldn’t be broken till then. Although the locals were dubious, they had no option. They went off on a quest to track out an ancestor of Isabella, but they were unsuccessful in their search after many years. A young woman showed up in the community just as they were about to give up hope. She claimed to be a descendant of Isabella and was a traveler from a faraway region. The locals were ecstatic and rushed up to the young woman, pleading for her pardon. The young woman, however, refused to pardon them, claiming that the curse had brought her ancestors too much anguish and misery. Before she would even contemplate lifting the curse, she insisted that the people atone for their earlier wrongdoings. The villagers complied with the young woman’s requests because they were prepared to do anything to lift the curse. They started working assiduously to fix the harm done to the village. They tried to rebuild the land that had been ravaged by the curse and rebuilt homes and farms.They noticed changes in the village while they toiled. The crops started to flourish, and the air seemed lighter. The people had hope for the first time in many years as the curse began to gradually fade. The young woman agreed to forgive the villagers and lift the curse after months of arduous negotiation. As they witnessed the curse go into the air, the villagers were overcome with happiness and relief. The village was never the same after that day. The populace fought to build a more equitable and equal society after learning an important lesson about the perils of fear and prejudice. However, the recollection of Isabella and the curse she had pronounced persisted, acting as a reminder of the negative effects of stupidity and cruelty. The young woman, on the other hand, stayed in the community and used her understanding of magic to assist those in need and treat the sick. The locals came to respect and admire her because of her reputation as a strong healer and a knowledgeable guide. Thanks to the villagers’ perseverance and hard work, the community prospered over the years. They had broken the witch’s spell and come out of it stronger and wiser.
