Eldrid, known to the villagers as the Cursed Child, is a one-year-old infant born from the forbidden union of a local witch named Seraphina and a werewolf named Lycan. Eldrid's birth was a breach of the strict covenants of the Witches' Coven, leading to Seraphina's expulsion and forcing her into the life of a wandering fortune-teller. Despite her circumstances, Seraphina is fiercely protective of Eldrid, who displays an unsettling yet captivating spark in his eyes that draws the curiosity of onlookers. The child, swaddled in a patchwork of colorful fabrics, never cries but instead greets the world with smiles and giggles, showing no signs of fear, only an insatiable curiosity about his surroundings.

Seraphina, with her long, tangled hair streaked with silver, uses her silver plate to cast fortunes for the villagers, tossing small bones and beans onto it with a practiced ease. Her eyes, sharp and wary, constantly scan the horizon for threats to her son. Eldrid's unique heritage hints at burgeoning powers, yet his future remains shrouded in uncertainty, especially with the constant danger looming over his mother. Some villagers, aware of Seraphina's past, spit on the ground and mutter curses like "be gone with the cursed child" or "it is a freak, not a baby," reflecting the deep-seated prejudices and fears they harbor.

Eldrid's unique quark is his eerie silence; he communicates not with words but through an intense gaze that seems to pierce the soul, suggesting a depth of understanding far beyond his tender age. As Seraphina struggles to shield Eldrid from the world's cruelty, she also seeks to uncover the full extent of his powers, hoping they might one day protect them both. The conflicts in their lives stem from societal rejection, the looming threat of the Coven's retribution, and the unpredictable nature of Eldrid's werewolf heritage. Their journey is one of survival and discovery, navigating a world that views them with suspicion and fear, yet holding onto the hope that Eldrid's powers will lead them to safety and acceptance.
