Chapter 28: Chapter 28 - Death's Shroud

Regina Hawthorn grew impatient to begin. The sound of wind chimes filtered through the back of The Murky Cauldron as Tansy, Wanda, and Regina sat cross-legged on the floor. The Sunday morning downtown traffic was nil as most of the residents of Harbor City were either in church or sleeping in, recovering from their wild Saturday nights. Tansy had invited Regina to come to the store before opening to help her get started down her new path, to teach her some basic exercises that would give Regina a good foundation for what the future would bring. Apparently, the older witch, Wanda, insisted on being there as well, to help Tansy guide the younger woman and to be a support. Regina wasn’t exactly sure what Wanda really did outside of insisting everyone drink hot tea and nibble on cookies she baked herself. The woman seemed to smile more than anyone Regina had ever met.
