Dorothy Talbot had "dispatched" the Völva (Thorbjörg Lítilvölva), using a Fire Death Curse. The explosive eruption of fire had surprised, even her. The cave had filled with molten flames which incinerated anything in its path. The Völva was turned into a mass of glowing ash, all her burial-goods destroyed in an instant. Dorothy was overcome with the power of the moment. Although she was untouched by the fire she was physically and emotionally spent. The cavern began to collapse around her, and her fate rested with Almáttugur Verndari's nobility. As the ceiling fell, in burning chunks of rock and detritus - Dorothy lay on the cavern floor, her mind locking out the visions of Gehenna around her. A "knight" would save her; and her Sisters rushed to her side ... Recovery would follow, but with a new challenge - a coup atempt from a troublesome Goddess - followed by removal of the threat.

Evil lives in the House on South Street, waiting to devour all who live within its walls. Every family who has ever owned the stately Victorian mansion has experienced tragedy and misery, caused by sinister spirits that haunt the House on South Street to this very day. Seekers of the paranormal will not be disappointed in the story of the house. Sometimes, the activities of evil spirits within the premises are so subtle, unbelievers could easily explain away their handiwork, but at other times, ghostly creatures burst upon the scene with inexplicable, supernatural fury; making it nearly impossible to find a rational explanation for the acts of havoc they wreak. In all cases, the spirits within the house are obviously bent on controlling and possessing the very souls and destinies of all the people in their midst. Once you enter The House on South Street, you may look at eerie old houses in a new way and thinking more about that subtle movement of a curtain or the shadow that crosses in front of a window

Jokingly, people often quote: "...It's good to be the Queen..." Well, depending on the traditions taught to the Princess, before she rules as Queen, the personality traits vary. Even then, each Queen brings bits of her own personality to the table. Some Queens were known for beauty, others were skillful in politics. Dorothy Talbot, aka Fidelia Bloodworth, would be a queen like no other. Combining the ancient wisdom of the Craft and a modern tact of the new world order, she would declare herself to be the Empress Witch-Queen regnant for her empire - the Coven of the Sisters (Worldwide).

Every war has its "stories". This is my story about a Cold War conflict, when at the time I served, had no clear end in sight. This story doesn't have any dynamic Hollywood gunfights, and it isn't an action thriller. It's a story of "... watching and waiting...", more akin to a firehouse routine than some grandiose military action "blockbuster" movie.

Some Witches have been known to have committed wicked deeds, (even) to cause harm and death. However, as members of a minority sector of society, most Witches simply lead their lives the same as everyone else. And many do a lot of good in their communities. Like the rest of society, there are good ones and bad ones. So, where does that lead us? Perhaps a Witch could be a hero. Perhaps a Priest could be a villain, (aka Child-Molester). I'm not going to judge based on a label...

...Differing weights are an abomination to the LORD, and a false scale is not good..." (Proverbs 20:23) When a witch is removed from one part of this world, there is a "void of evil" created, that must be filled by another. Cadence Shadowsoul had been removed a year ago... There were others who wanted her "space". An ancient witch was called from afar to claim the lost realm. The Owl is considered to be the Night Eagle because it is silent and deadly in flight, and is a solitary bird with all-seeing eyes. The Owl is generally regarded as a bird of sorcerers because of its association with - and abilities in-the dark. In most Native American tribes, owls are a symbol of death. Sometimes owls are said to carry messages from beyond the grave or deliver supernatural warnings. So it is with the Owl Woman...
