The Demon
She was a witch—a real witch, and a powerful one, too.

Of course, the thralls were screaming that everything not blessed by the Bright Saint was of the Dark Tempter—and no surprises there, as witches could read them like a book, and nobody could protect themselves from their sorcery. True, the weakest of them could be defeated and caught, but that one...she was old enough to remember my grandfather in his cradle. It’s strange, but I still can’t remember her face.
