I only tell fortunes when the moon is young. Fascinating. I thought the full moon is best time for fortune telling. I am Oksana, a soothsayer. The arts of magic have been passed down through my family from times immemorial, from grandmother to granddaughter... I can make love-potions, tell the future, and use sorcery to invoke fortune in battle. I am also good at soothsaying and healing horses. As for me, I come from Poltava. My life would have been all right, save for that unfortunate cattle plague last Autumn. The local priest had long nursed a grudge against me -- suspected that I was stealing his parish from him, or some such nonsense. Accused me of witchcraft, and said it was I who killed the cattle. That very night they tarred and burned my house. Thankfully, some kind souls warned me in time, and I escaped with my life." Perhaps you wish to prove your talents under my command? You offer me a place by your side? Very well, I accept. My craft forbids me killing people -- except in self-defense. Yet in all things peaceful I am useful like no other. I hope you can cook up some luck for us. Now that we have an agreement, dare I ask of you a small favour? My distant relative who resides here offered me a place to stay. Could you give me 300 thaler so that I could repay her for all the good she's done for me? No one is safe from poverty or prison, as they say. Here, take the money. A pacifist in a party is more dangerous than a cuirassier regiment. I have always thought that sorcerers were liars. It seems to me that you got what you deserved. I have no time for the games of fortune tellers. Farewell. Reencounter[] Story: Poltava[] Poltava. The name of this place is unknown amongst men, yet my fortune telling predicts a great battle shall soon scar the place. But it shall also glorify my town, so it shall be known throughout all the world, and the best bards shall sing of it. I know well these lands. They are of black earth, and the woods are full of prey. Kind people with an open heart live here. Had it not been for the war... I do not blame the illiterate villagers for driving me out. Someday I shall return, and I shall stay. Like Quotes[] Colonel Zagloba[] I would have left you a long time ago, were it not for Colonel Zagloba. The old man has taken the place of my late father. He's the only one I can feel safe with! And it seems he has taken a fancy to me as well. I better go to the woods, and look for some herbs to heal his gout. Dislike Quotes[] Karlsson[] If Karlsson cannot stop looking at me as if I were some tavern wench, I shall make some ill charms for him. Of that you can be sure. I am an upright girl and shall not stand the rudeness of soldiers. Victor de la Buscador[] I am patient, but even I have my limits. This Victor de la Buscador has apparently mistaken me for that pani who so boldly turned him round her finger. His courting and insinuations are offensive to me. And if he thinks that lonely girl would be silent while he tells his scabrous jokes -- well, he is quite mistaken.
