Centuries ago, there was a powerful witch who lived in a wild forest for many years. The witch never sought evil, but she knew of all types of magic. It would have been illogical for a witch as old as her to idle away time. Though she did use her magic to protect her home, it was not entirely harmless. For what she did was more toxic to humans than guarding her forest. She despised humans, called them what she thought were filthy pests that walked the earth until their demise.

On a cold evening in autumn, a hunter killed her beloved, the lone wolf. The only animal she cherished since it was a pup. She used her magic to expand that wolf's life every ten years. Enraged at the hunter she placed a meaningful curse upon him. Even though he begged and pleaded, she used a dark spell from her book of dooming spells. The man was turned into a wolf to replace the one he so viciously hunted down.

The day that wolf died of old age, she did not waste her energy on the expansion for his life. She did, however, make a magic salve with his flesh. What she did with that salve was the undoing to many of her prey.
