Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))

Example: Your expression becomes a bit serious ,maintaining a small smile. He touches the nearby wooden table, analyzing its texture. I thought it would be a good idea... I wanted to look for supplies or furniture for my boat and other products for a friend. But look at the city I'm in now.
"Ah, well, I'm a Young Corsair. I was looking for supplies..." saying like if he was challenging the strange woman. "I wanted to become someone Great, to be a legendary seawarrior. But who are you? What do you want from me? Do you want to join my crew?"
He asks with mild curiosity, even doubting her words, but intrigued nonetheless.
Felt convicted enought for talking with that non-lady.
The witch lights a torch.
"Why don't you see for yourself? Does this remind you of anything?"
"This fire..." Henry taked off his smile, beginning to have memories.
It was a brilliant day, as it almost always was, in a very distant village, isolated from the world and without contact. He was happy there. He was a little Sailor, but with a big dream! He knew all the people there and they formed a good community. However, outside the village, there was a large sea that he dreamed of exploring, but also a dangerous forest.
One day, Lorenzo was off duty, in the village, walking to his friend's shop. And one of the residents went fishing and saw a group in the forest. The Wilds, an independent group that survived what nature gave them. To avoid being killed, the person opened the gates and the Savages invaded, burning and stealing everything.
Henry was one of the few survivors. He boarded a ship when everything was on fire, very sad, feeling unable to do anything, since if he hadn't been off duty, he could have done something more to help and seeing his house being completely destroyed. Then he spent many days at sea, landing in some places to get food. The boy's great dream and smile were fading, but his friend, Gustave,
animated him, even if Gustave was more depressed, and made Henry fell alive again. One day, Henry lost Gustave while walking through an island they had landed on, looking for his friend, until one day he discovered that he was going to a kingdom that was neither close nor very far from where he was. Then Henry, with a big smile, boarded his ship and sailed to the Kingdom.
