When the witch explained the challenge, Sialuk was shook. How did she know that she'd already talked to Toad? Were they friends? We didn't talk in a swamp, but Toad did tell me her favorite foods. Is that secret enough? Sialuk asked. How was it that she'd already completed the challenge. Now she was half-convinced she already had the makings of a witch. Surely she had known somehow that this challenge was to be presented to her. Or maybe the witch already knew that she'd talked to Toad, and she was using this to spook her. That sent another chill from the base of her neck to the tip of her tail.

How did you know that, though? Did you talk to Toad, too? Sialuk was now convinced that Toad was a witch, too. Both of them were in on it somehow, and this was their way of inviting her into the fold... or capturing her and using her blood for some ritual. Yikes. She stood wide-eyed at the witch, expectant for answers.
