The Witch's Cabin
You found...
A book!
They run their paw over a worn blue book, lacking a title or author. Evren wondered if it was because of their current cat form, still, he took the book off the shelf and opened it to reveal the pages' burnt edges. Curious and much to their surprise that he could, Evren began reading...
​
A man came across this old tower one day,
It was straight like from a book he once read.
He lifted his head up and saw this young lady,
And here's what the lady said:
"Moi je m'appelle mademoiselle Noir,
["My name is Mademoiselle Noir,]
Et comme vous pouvez le voir,
[And as you can see,]
Je ne souris, ni ris, ni vis."
[I do not smile, nor laugh, nor live."]
Et c'est tout ce qu'elle a dit.
The man was so scared, he could only run away,
He ran to the town and then said:
"I just saw a lady with the longest dark hair,
And I think she's a living dead!"
The people, so scared, took their guns and their swords,
They ran to the tower and then,
They saw the pale lady and felt a great fear,
When they heard how she said it again:
"Moi je m'appelle mademoiselle Noir,
["My name is Mademoiselle Noir,]
Et comme vous pouvez le voir,
[And as you can see,]
Je ne souris, ni ris, ni vis."
[I do not smile, nor laugh, nor live."]
Et c'est tout ce qu'elle a dit.
The people, they knew what this all was about,
She was clearly a demon from hell.
They decided to set her long hair on fire,
In the end it would burn her as well.
​
But the lady was no demon, she was a lonely soul,
Just like in that book they once read.
Still waiting for her prince while her hair was on fire,
The one last time she said:
"Moi je m'appelle mademoiselle Noir,
["My name is Mademoiselle Noir,]
Et comme vous pouvez le voir,
[And as you can see,]
Je ne souris, ni ris, ni vis."
[I do not smile, nor laugh, nor live."]
Et c'est tout ce qu'elle a dit.

And as Evren read the story in whispers to themselves, he couldn't help but wonder, was this the story of Selene, Sleepypaw?
