'I can answer that! Just follow my advice, and I will keep you safe~"
Cyra looked at the wall. Avoid nasty injury, avoid mortal danger. The wall was filled with countless little symbols, carved on the stone.
First, her eyes fell on a symbol that looked like a shield. A shield helps with staying alive...then again, she didn't even use one....
After looking around for a while longer, she found a symbol that looked like a castle, or a short tower. A castle also could keep her safe, right?
Finally, her eyes fell on a symbol that looked like a pretzel...funny coincidence, but did it really have something to do with keeping herself alive?
At the end, Cyra decided to go for the castle. She did as the witch had instructed, and soon she found herself hungry. If only she had a pretzel...but no, she should focus back on the castle...

Cyra was kneeling, naked before her Mistress -a collar around her neck the only thing she wore. The stone floor felt cold, yet under her knees, it gave her a profound sense of stability.
"How delightful, for you to surrender to me."
"Do not worry, my pet, for I shall not harm you, or let others do so."
"No....I will nurture you and I will make you my dark knight. And then you will be stronger than you ever were, and no one shall oppose us..."
"Now come.....and pledge your allegiance to me..." she said, opening her legs wide...
Lydia, the Dark Witch, arranged the revival of a brave warrior from an other world. Everything went as the prophecy foretold, and Cyra joined the Dark Witch by her own free will - because she knew that only a witch that strong could ensure her safety until her powers returned.
And so, the Dark Witch gained the allegiance of the knight, without even having to use her multiple schemes. The evil master and her lover, brought a new Dark Age - one that lasted longer than ever. They took over large part of the world, and from the Darkmist Castle, they ruled through fear and violence...
Yes, that's how she could be safe and avoid most dangers...that was the safest...the easiest way...why risk dying a second time?
