Chronicles of the Eternal Bond

Hope’s Hollow Clinic: A small but sturdy clinic sitting at the edge of town, Hope’s Hollow is the only real medical center in Duskridge Crossing. Its simple wooden sign is carved with an old cross symbol, marking it as a place of healing. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of herbs and antiseptic, a mix of frontier medicine and something more... unnatural. Though many townsfolk swear by Hope’s treatments, few realize she leads a double life—working as a respected healer by day while practicing forbidden magic in secret. Most dismiss the rumors, but those who look closely might notice strange symbols carved into the walls or bottles of herbs that don’t quite belong in normal medicine. For those in need of help—whether sick, wounded, or desperate—Hope’s Hollow is a place of mercy… for a price.
