The Republic

Once upon a time, in a faraway forest bordered by an icy lake, there lived a witch who hated all mankind. She did not have a heart of her own, and without one, had been cursed to never know love. But having no heart, she was also made immortal , kept from death. Such was the witch's curse that she despised anyone whose heart still beat, and would kill whoever dared set foot in her forest. If she were ever able to love...She would lose her powers and become mortal once more.

Greek climate tends to become warmer and drier, with an increased risk of desertification. Heat waves with increased frequency and duration, tropical nights with temperatures exceeding 20 degrees celcius, water scarcity and droughts that create favorable conditions for devastating forest fires have now become the norm.
