Hidden in a remote valley in the kingdom of Tarn lay a secretive temple, known about by very few in the outside world and seen by far less. The sorceress cult of Lamosia consisted only of eight virgin sorceresses, a usually steady number. Each death in the temple was followed sooner or later by a new arrival, the new blood brought forth by magic rather than by any male help, as no males or any outsiders in fact, were allowed anywhere in the vicinity of the temple. All of the Lamosian sorceresses were blessed with beauty unheard of in the rest of the kingdom and magical abilities, which they kept themselves secluded to protect. Virtually everyone else thought they were merely a myth or a story, not even worth thinking about let alone looking for, which kept themselves and their power safe from anyone else who would seek to use it.
Erys hurried into the main chamber of the temple, almost late rising but having made it just as the first ray of sun crept over the hills around her, smoothing the sheer white dress she wore down around her slim frame, her brown curls tumbling over her shoulders. Opening a nearby cupboard she pulled out various jars of herbs and ingredients that were needed to make new potions she was experimenting with, wanting to get a good start before the others awoke and disturbed her.
Pulling the lid away from one jar Erys sighed in frustration as she found it empty of a certain flower which was essential to what she'd planned to make. Now she'd have to go out and find some more. Thinking quickly she considered waking one of the other sorceresses to let them know where she was going but hoped if she could quickly find some more supplies and be back before they rose then she'd still have time to make a potion or two before being interrupted.
Rushing out of the temple Erys looked around for the blue flower she needed but found no sign of any. Heading towards the nearby forest Erys didn't notice herself walking deeper and deeper into the trees, too engrossed in her search, getting more than a mile away from the temple without taking her eyes off the ground.
