Warlock of the Witch World ww-4

  Orsya caught her hands, held them firmly but gently. “It is well, sister. We are your friends.”

  Kaththea clung to her, but still looked doubtfully at me.

  The Krogan girl came to me a little later where I stood looking down at the havoc the storm had wrought. There were bodies in that wrack, but no man nor creature moved under the rising sun of a fine day.

  “How is it with her?” I asked.

  “Well, as to her body. But—Kemoc—she has forgotten who and what she was. What power she had is now gone from her!”

  “For all time?” I could not imagine Kaththea so drained.

  “That I cannot tell. She is as she might have been had she never been born a Witch—a maid, sweet of temper, gentle, and now very much in need of your strength and aid. But do not try to recall to her the past.”

  So it was that while Orsya and I brought Kaththea back to the Valley, we did not bring back the Kaththea who had been. And if she will ever be that again, no man nor witch can say. But the forces of the Shadow suffered a second defeat, and for a space we could ride Escore more boldly, though the darkness was far from cleansed. And our tale of three was not yet ended.
