The Woman in White

The first being that Agnet encountered not as prey, but as a lover. Through her, pleasure became a gateway to an invisible world.

Origin and Nature

In her youth, Agnet met a beautiful stranger dressed in white in the forest. Their bond survived her move: as soon as Agnet went to bed and called out to her, the woman would appear in the flesh. Thus it became clear that her lover did not belong to the world of the living and was capable of crossing the boundary through sleep and memory.

Behavior and Manifestations

She does not hunt openly nor demand worship. Her method is trust, secret meetings, and a promise never to leave her chosen one. After intimacy, Agnet begins to see spirits and understand the language of desire, as if a part of another’s perception had remained within her forever.

Erotic Nature

Her eroticism is not predatory but initiatory. The body becomes a place of initiation, where fear gives way to curiosity. However, it is impossible to determine whether this tenderness was selfless or whether the woman was consciously nurturing a future witch within Agnet.

Countermeasures and Cost

There is no known direct method of exorcism. The connection is sustained by a voluntary summons and emotional memory. Refusal does not destroy the spirit, but it deprives it of a stable path to the sleeper. The price of continuing the connection is the irreversible awakening of the witch’s gift.
