step--step--step--then stop, and Kaali is not alarmed, for she recognizes the gentle footfalls of a woman, close behind her. the witch turns, slowly, eyes landing upon a night-sky of a girl, deep black pelt flecked with silver. it is a magical sight, and her gaze lingers upon this magnificent specimen before returning to her face.
