章 37: A Magic Question

Ash didn't know when he would be seeing Blair again so he decided to ask for another witch's opinion while he was here. Ruby was obviously curious but he couldn't say this was about her. She would have to operate under the assumption that it was a vampire matter.

The witch whose name he never caught led him through a maze of workrooms where other witches could be seen tinkering with objects or testing spells. Eventually she opened the door to one where a woman with distinctly Middle Eastern features and glowing orange eyes hidden beneath safety goggles was peering into a smoking cauldron.

"Jez, I have a vampire here who wants to ask you a magic question."

Jezebel looked up with interest right as whatever was the in cauldron exploded in her face. Her hair stood straight up and what appeared to be soot had settled all over her face but she smiled as she took off her goggles and wiped them on the edge of her robe.
