Doctor Rogers's page

Frozen Springs was a beautiful town built near a hot spring in a place that was winter all year round.

My wife, Samantha, and I met when I first became a doctor and traveled to my new home. She was one of the applicants to be my nurse. She didn't quite get the job, which is a great thing: she was the best teacher the town had.

Our marriage was a big event with even people from nearby villages coming to enjoy the party.

After a couple of years, we had our first daughter, Annabelle. She was a sweet thing. She was absolutely sure she was some kind of royalty and got frustrated when others wouldn't listen.

A few years later, my wife and I had another daughter. Little Ellie... she was such a sweetheart. We all lived in a nice big, beautiful house. I wish I had spent more time there.

I was a doctor then, with my own practice. It was the only one for miles. I was rich, successful. I was happy.

The Ice Witch came. Some of the men stood paralyzed in fear. Others ran. I'm ashamed to say that I myself hid in my office as her minions swept over the town like a sudden blizzard.

Those that weren't frozen solid or killed outside their homes awoke hours later to find all of our daughters and wives missing. It was such a blow that I broke down, unable to think of what to do.

Then the monsters came, tearing through our houses like an avalanche, killing almost everyone left. I ran and didn't stop running until I was miles away. There was nothing left of the town called Frozen Springs.

I was lucky to survive. At the time, though, I felt I would've be luckier to have died.

He shared with me his story. I learned about different monsters and stories from the villages he had visited. He showed me a fascinating book he carried and told me of vast libraries that I could seek out.

After the storm, the adventurer went to meet his fate. Whether that was his end or just his beginning, I do not know. For me, it was another chance.

I studied hard, learning anything that I could that might help those fighting the Witches and their minions.

I guess that's how I ended up here.
