They send a young messenger to seek her help, and he reluctantly makes his way to her cottage. When the messenger arrives at Eliza's cottage, he is greeted by a crow, which warns him of the dangers that lie ahead. Undeterred, the messenger proceeds and knocks on Eliza's door. Eliza opens the door and listens to the messenger's plea for help. Though initially hesitant, Eliza agrees to assist the village in defeating the beast. She prepares a powerful potion and gives it to the messenger, instructing him to use it to weaken the beast. Eliza warns him of the potential consequences if the potion is used incorrectly. With the potion in hand, the messenger returns to the village and informs the townspeople of Eliza's willingness to help. The villagers are cautiously hopeful, but many still doubt Eliza's intentions. As night falls, the messenger and a group of brave villagers venture into the woods in search of the beast. They follow the messenger's directions and eventually come face to face with the terrifying creature. With the help of the potion, the villagers manage to temporarily weaken the beast. However, their victory is short-lived, as the beast quickly regains its strength and counterattacks. The battle intensifies, and chaos ensues. In the midst of the chaos, Eliza emerges from the shadows, casting powerful spells to protect the villagers and weaken the beast once again. With her assistance, the villagers finally manage to defeat the beast and drive it away. The villagers are in awe of Eliza's power and are grateful for her help. They apologize for their initial fear and misunderstanding, and they acknowledge her as a powerful ally rather than an enemy. In the final pages of the chapter, Eliza retreats back to her cottage, leaving the villagers to celebrate their victory. However, she knows that this battle is just the beginning and that a much greater threat looms on the horizon. And so, the first chapter of "The Witch and the Beast" comes to a close, setting the stage for an epic tale of magic, adventure, and the bonds that can form between unlikely allies..
