The FOrtuna Circle

The story follows young Rhea, a witch studying the craft of Cosmology and Astrology, who is sent into a neighbouring village, struck down by a rampant Oni demon. Mother Magda entrusts Rhea with a kill order for the Oni.

But once Rhea is confronted by the Oni, she feels that something is off with it, in that it gives off the aura of a Witch. The Demon wields fire like magic, using it against Rhea. When Rhea strikes down the Demon, she talks with it, learning it is but a child. She summons Mother Magda, who is disappointed in Rhea for sparing its life, taking it upon herself to dispose of the Oni. Rhea stands up to Magda, and whisks the Demon away to a nearby cave, out of Magda’s reach.

Once away from Magda’s threat, Rhea introduces herself to the Oni, learning that her name is Eris, Rhea offers to teach Eris how to use her magic. Starting their new journey together.

Due to time restraints, most of the story elements were cut from the final product, much to everyone's dismay. But hopefully one day we will get to share their full journey with the world.

Rhea

Rhea is a kind soul. Her craft is dedicated to helping and protecting those who need it.

She's smart, top of her class and she's bright.

She undermines herself when it comes to her abilities. She knows how to conjure spells and perform them, but doesn't feel all that confident in herself.

Rhea tends to act on her impulsivity. Decision making depends on how dire the situation is, and due to tendency to side with her impulsivity, she tends to become reckless and make mistakes. This is also the reason why she had a strike against her name at the coven.

Eris

Eris was separated from her clan at a very young age. She’s been traveling from village to village seeking shelter and help. But due to Onis' reputation, villagers are terrified of her and lock themselves in their homes to escape her.

Being young and naïve, she doesn’t know why they won’t help her. She’s grown accustomed to people trying to get away from her, so when people do try to approach her, she lashes out. She’s short-tempered, aggressive, scared and lonely. She’s grown up away from her clan, not knowing the feeling of love and affection, or what it feels like to have someone care for you and worry about you.
