Script writer here! Listening to this audio made me very sad, Xailey, which I think is because you did a wonderful job. Very sad this sort of thing happened in real life but this audio was fantastic, thank you for doing it.
The moment she protested being rescued, I knew what her logic would be. I really want there to be an alternative, but she isn't wrong. Worse, they'll all just say she "bewitched" the listener into freeing her. Witch Trials had the most self-fulfilling logic ever. Thanks for the audio, Xailey.
Why you gotta do this to me Xailey? It's an awful period of history where this occurred and it's very possible this interaction happened many times. God I'm sad now and I really don't want her to die. I'm almost certain there are a few ways she could be snuck out! You did a really good job of portraying her sad acceptance of her fate. I spent pretty much the whole audio wanting to hug her. Love your work as always Xailey! How dare you make me sad!
this is when we find out that the listener was in fact a witch/wizard. So of course we can't let her take the fall. Going to be a long night but let the magical gaslighting of the town commence!
I love the editing on this and what a great script! Daily what really got me was when you said you would just close your eyes and let the darkness take you . That was great acting. I would have been a little tighter with my lips about the people in power condemning me, but I can see this character has accepted her fate and cares for the listener
Wow. Wowowow! Superb acting there and, although sad and dark, what an amazing story to put this dark period of humanity into focus. Really appreciate how defeated you made her sound. I'll go wipe a tear or two now.
As a elemental wizard I confirm that us wizards are super stealthy even if we use our powers that's why the public never knew the existence of wizards until the DnD game was invented and became popular that includes Lord of Rings.
I totally didn't tear up because of listening to this. It was solely the fault of the onions I was cutting. (Honest truth: I was listening to this while chopping veggies for dinner. The onions got me.) An excellent script and an excellent performance.
You: don't untie me! Me: You're right, it will be easier to kidnap you if you're tied up and I'll need to put the gag back in your mouth. No, I am not leaving you here. We're leaving. Here is your like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, and get you the recognition you deserve.
It’s always crazy to me how people were unalived bc they were thought to be a which I feel like half the time the “which” was just accused of being a which bc people didn’t like them.
No no no no no ..and no, I'm your friend and at this moment you are not able to decide for yourself, you are innocent and you shouldn't be in here. You don't deserve a trial and that's why you leave this place and run away to another country far from this place, where people don't know you and start living your life again. I'm not leaving you in here, so.. *unties you and picks you up, escaping from prison together* XD anyway nice video Xailey (as always) ^^
Gosh, I really wanted this to be the case in the story. I really enjoyed playing this character, but as a listener, i just wanted to reach out and take her out of there!
Truly a sad tale though i wonder if the lady considered that the guy that loved & cared for her would actually become a fallen one to avenge her death at the hands of the heathens that betrayed her because of his feelings for her.
@@xaileyaudio Then expect it from me because I hold life in high regard & since she is a sweetheart & childhood friend,they'd deserve to be condemned though not by my hand since Karma usually gets those when they least expect it for doing wrong to someone so innocent.
Oh trust me I already know sweetheart your soul may be ripped from your body and your mortal coil maybe broken but I will find you another day another time maybe another lifetime or timeline but my soul is already connected to you my dear
As a historian i would like to give some context. "Witchhunts" as exist in modern psyche werent a medieval phenomena, rather before the middle ages or after. The roman empire persecuted witchcraft and saw curses as attempted murder. Thou many roman intelectuals daubted magic as a possibility. (also needs to be pointed out that romans belived their religion as not a religion but absolute truth and things like prophecies and myth were just facts) During the middle ages and rennesaice the catholic church fought against the belief that witchcraft was even possible. And magic itself wasnt seen as a crime but rather a toll which could be used in a crime. For example 16th century executioner Franz Shimdt recounts executing a woman who was scamming people claiming to give them gold with the use of magic only for her magic to turn out fake. The scamming was the crime, but the magic was seen as a multiplying factor. The modern conception of witchcraft comes from early american colonists in particular the "salem witch trails" Since we are living in a world dominated by the USA and american culture, the modern conception of witchcraft and witchhunts is based on the very specific american folklore perspective, rather than a wider cultural view.
Thank you for sharing this! You're right, the only witch trials I'm aware of is the salem witch trials. I do like the fact that magic wasn't seen as a crime. If that's the case, did they have mages with apprentices back then? 🤔
@@xaileyaudio We need to keep in mind that before industrialisation focusing your entire life on a pratice that isnt exactly frootful like "magic" would result in you starving, since if you dont work you dont eat. Alchemy was a pratice since there was some real science in it. So "mage" wasnt as much a profession, since fake magic wouldnt bring you income, unless youre scamming people like that woman Schmidt executed. SO there wasnt many dedicated "mages", thou there were some people might indentify themselves as such, and create a buissness around that claim. There were alchemists, althou we would call them chemistry teachers these days. It would also likely depend on the culture of the region and the local folklore. I mentioned a central european example, of someone being trialed not for magic but rather for the magi turning out fake. I pressume it would differ from country to country. If you were doing "magic" and it wasnt a threat to your local communitylike curses and such, but something beneficial, and it was real enough to bring you income then presumably you'd take an aprentice, BUT we in the modern day likely wouldnt call that magic, we'd likely have some scientific term for what this practice was with our modern understanding.
