Upon entering the hut, its earthen floor and ancient furnishings causing her brow to furrow, Madryn, even way back then before she had learned a single spell, could feel the power within.
When the witch, as she thought of her at first, stepped forward, barefoot, Madryn felt something electric in the air, thought she even saw sparks between the woman’s feet and the floor, crazy as that memory would later seem.
Madryn resisted the urge to slip off her shoes and socks, feeling it stupid.
“No dear, it isn’t,” the strange woman said to her and a connection was born.
