Dorothy Talbot had "dispatched" the Voelva (Thorbjoerg Litilvoelva), using a Fire Death Curse. The explosive eruption of fire had surprised, even her. The cave had filled with molten flames which incinerated anything in its path. The Voelva was turned into a mass of glowing ash, all her burial-goods destroyed in an instant. Dorothy was overcome with the power of the moment. Although she was untouched by the fire she was physically and emotionally spent.The cavern began to collapse around her, and her fate rested with Almattugur Verndari's nobility. As the ceiling fell, in burning chunks of rock and detritus - Dorothy lay on the cavern floor, her mind locking out the visions of Gehenna around her. A "knight" would save her; and her Sisters rushed to her side ...Recovery would follow, but with a new challenge - a coup atempt from a troublesome Goddess - followed by removal of the threat.

... There is no sense of time within a portal. All is what was. Bodiless spirits roam through endless fields of darkness. A few have purpose, but no means to accomplish anything ...One spirit ... that of the Witch Cadence Shadowsoul, writhed in eternal torture. She had never reached her goal. How long was it? Days? Years, Eons?... Apate pushed the twisted form of Cadence Shadowsoul closer to the edge of the portal..."... If you leave, the Witch Queen will challenge you. Defeat her and return to immortal life ...", Apate said."So, mote it be ... So, mote it be ..." Cadence screamed as she flung herself into the soul of a young woman...

"... In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: '...Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's. clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves...". (They're always looking out for themselves at the expense of everyone around them).As much as we want to believe that everyone has the best intentions, it isn't always the case. Some people only do things to benefit themselves, and they don't care who they hurt in the process.White Witches can be found in almost every setting. You can't get rid of them, but if you can spot them, you can avoid falling into their traps ...

Every war has its "stories". This is my story about a Cold War conflict, when at the time I served, had no clear end in sight. This story doesn't have any dynamic Hollywood gunfights, and it isn't an action thriller. It's a story of "... watching and waiting...", more akin to a firehouse routine than some grandiose military action "blockbuster" movie.
