Deep within the enchanting birchwoods of Norway, a mystical energy pulsates through the veins of two sisters, Kaija and Minna. For years, they have lived a solitary existence, each yearning for a life intertwined with community, even if it means suppressing their extraordinary abilities. However, their paths diverge, with Kaija, known for her gentle nature, longing to break free from the shadows and embrace the fullness of life, even if it means stifling her magical powers. On the other hand, Minna, a true witch through and through, carries a simmering wrath just beneath the surface, a constant reminder of the pain inflicted upon her. Despite their differences, both sisters will forever cherish the memory of the day they were exiled from their village. The day their mother, the sole source of their magic, was tragically burned.

As Kaija embarks on a journey to seek a new life, Minna finds herself alone in the dark depths of the forest, consumed by a deep sense of devastation and anger at the betrayal that has left her heart shattered. In her moment of despair, Minna casts a curse, vowing to exact revenge on those who have taken everything from her. Little does she realize that her actions will unleash a deadly chain of events, destined to destroy everything in its path, including the life Kaija has painstakingly built.

Once a witch's rage reaches its boiling point, regret becomes a mere afterthought. She is powerless to undo the damage that has already been done. The only solution is to ignite a fire, to burn away the remnants of the past and pave the way for a new beginning. And so, the stage is set for a tragic confrontation, where the flames of anger will clash with the fragile threads of sisterhood. In this battle of wills, only one will emerge victorious. Someone will have to pay the ultimate price.

As the forest burns around them, Kaija and Minna are forced to confront the consequences of their actions. The once harmonious bond between them is shattered, replaced by a bitter rivalry fueled by jealousy and resentment. The flames of their rage consume them, blinding them to the potential for forgiveness and redemption. In the end, only one sister will survive, and the scars of their past will forever mark their souls.

The legacy of their tragic tale serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the dangers of unchecked anger and the importance of embracing our true selves, even if it means defying societal expectations. The forest burns, but the memory of their story lives on, a testament to the power of magic, the consequences of revenge, and the enduring strength of sisterhood.
