Bab 155: The Powers Within

Just as Sthena and Perdita continued on their way into the forest leading them to wherever Sthena had in mind, the Witch out of nowhere appeared before them. Her face was almost white with fear.

Perdita gasped at the sudden intrusion having not expected the witch to emerge in that manner. She had her hand placed on her chest as she uttered in a whisper,

"You scared me..." She paused as she wondered what to call the witch. She stated, "You haven't told me your name."

"Her name is, Witcher," Commented Sthena with a smug look on his face that had the witch narrow her eyes in annoyance.

"The name is, Zelda, Your Ladyship." The witch answered and quickly apologized having realized the slip of the tongue. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to use the, 'Your Ladyship.'"

"It's fine. It doesn't matter anyway." Perdita replied with a wave of her hand. The least she could do now was to accept her fate anyway rather than continue to prolong what was bound to happen.
