Once upon a time in a quaint little village, there lived an aging witch named Morgana. With her long flowing silver hair, wrinkled skin, and slightly hunched back, she was a familiar sight to the villagers who mostly regarded her with a mixture of awe and caution. Morgana had lived a solitary life for as long as she could remember. She spent her days brewing potions and casting spells, using her magic to help those who sought her out. Over the years, she had gained a reputation as a wise and skilled witch, but her advancing age had started to take a toll on her powers. One day, as Morgana was rummaging through her collection of spell books and ingredients, she came across a forgotten polka dot headband.
Given that fans had to wait seven long years for a Gundam sequel, it’s no wonder that so many activities are afoot.

Feeling a sudden surge of nostalgia, Morgana decided to don the polka dot headband once again. As she tied it around her head, something unexpected happened. The headband seemed to emanate a faint shimmer, infusing Morgana with a renewed sense of energy and vitality. It was as if the headband had awakened a dormant power within her. With her newfound vigor, Morgana ventured out of her cottage and into the village. The townsfolk were taken aback by her youthful appearance, her once hunched back now straight and strong. The polka dot headband had indeed worked its magic. Word quickly spread about the aging witch's transformation, and soon people from far and wide flocked to the village, seeking her assistance. Morgana, now full of life and confidence, used her revitalized powers to heal the sick, offer guidance, and provide solutions to various problems. The polka dot headband became a symbol of hope and rejuvenation in the village. As Morgana's popularity grew, she became an integral part of the community, organizing festivals and events to bring joy to the hearts of the villagers. However, as with all things magical, there was a catch. The polka dot headband's power was not everlasting. With each passing day, its effects began to diminish, and Morgana could feel her energy waning once again. Despite this, she continued to dedicate herself to helping others, drawing strength from the gratitude of those she had touched. In time, the polka dot headband lost its shimmer entirely, and Morgana returned to her aging state. But she had left an indelible mark on the village and its people. To them, she was a beacon of light and inspiration, reminding them that age and appearance held no bearing on one's ability to make a difference. And so, even in her old age, Morgana continued to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. The polka dot headband may have faded away, but the impact she had made on the lives of others endured, forever etched in the hearts of the villagers..
