toss a coin to your witcher (dumb duck trio)

"She used her dark magics on my husband, and now he sees her shadow in the mirror every night!"
"He killed an entire farm-hands livestock, all for his own twisted amusement."
"They have a garden full of statues that were once children, now frozen in time forever..."

As Scrooge McDuck - world's richest duck, famed adventurer, and also expert monster hunter - continued his research into the "mages of the mountain", he found each new rumor was more outlandish than the last. Sure, there were a few things that were consistent - the two were twins, beautiful in their own way, and fiercely loyal to one another - but after that, each new round of gossip could make them sound like petulant children or gods themselves. Whatever troubles the villagers were having, be it bad weather or failing crops, it was surely the fault of the De Spell family.

And yes, perhaps the manor of the twins - lofted right into the side of the highest hill, with decaying greenery entwined all around the massive stone steps - was a little something out of a gothic horror novel. Dark colors, eerie structure, and maybe a cracked gargoyle or two. The cry of a raven could be found in the distance. But if these twins were as powerful as so whispered, why couldn't they afford to fix the twisted rafters from the windows, or cover the drafts from moldy holes? The land itself was probably pricey property, and many would pay handsomely for it... if some particular vermin was exterminated.

Scrooge covered his mouth as he yawned, giving them a small wave. Honestly, the nickname didn't bother him. His sisters had called him that for decades.

He plugged in his phone and debated closing the curtains, deciding against it so he didn't sleep as deeply. The new pillows and mattresses weren't in yet but for now the slightly-lumpy mattress would do.

Honestly, he'd been going at full speed for quite some time even before the De Spells and the noonwraith. Despite his best efforts, he ended up sleeping late...though given he woke up still tired, it probably meant that he needed the extra sleep.

He came downstairs, stretching his arms over his head.

"Ach, I'm getting old and lazy. Sleeping a whole day away?" He clicked his tongue at himself in disapproval.
