Summary
A 12 year old girl named Colette dips her hands into a nearby freezing river to clean them off during the ice season. She seeks to go back to her cabin to warm herself up, but suddenly, a voice calls out to her, asking for a favor. It belonged to another girl asking for help, as she was had a low body temperature and felt like she was about to lose consciousness while being swept along by the chilly river. Colette stops herself from letting out a scream and lends a hand to the girl in the river.

The girl who fell in the river gives her thanks to Colette for saving her. Colette gives the girl some freshly boiled water, causing the girl to thank her again. The girl had long pink hair, an oversized cloak, and most strikingly, pointed ears. Noticing the girl's ears, Colette asks if she is an elf, only for the girl to say that her body is an elf's while her soul is not, confusing Colette. The elven girl, who has a glittering blue stone on her neck, returns to answering Colette's question and states she's an elf and is 400 years old. Colette thinks that the elven girl was alive back when the Witch of Envy was roaming the world, and she is asked for her name. After Colette replies, the girl introduces herself as Omega.

The two continue to discuss various topics, like how Colette lives alone in a cabin because her parents passed away, and how she catches rabbits and eats them. Omega and Colette begin to eat rabbit, the former professes that she's never been able to swim, and the latter suggests to Omega that she should stay in the cabin for some time. As Omega is worried about what she could give back in return, Colette suggests a story from the past, to which the elven girl accepts. She tells Colette how only demi-humans and spirits had a knack for magic while humans struggled building fires, then continues with the claim that only two or three other people in history could do what she can with magic. A word arises in Colette's head as she realizes something; Omega asks Colette to admit what's on her mind. Upon hearing the word from Colette, Omega affirms her with a bewitching smile, declaring, “I’m quite the wicked Witch, you know?”
