Evil, evil! Such a name, such a name... and such dark tales swarm about it,<br />

like flies on a corpse."<br />

"Just the same, I need you <strong>to</strong> tell me."<br />

He rolled his eyes, plopping a<strong>not</strong>her candy in<strong>to</strong> his mouth. "She's a night<br />

hag, my boy, who came <strong>to</strong> Sigil... all evil and cackles, she was, alive with her<br />

sha<strong>do</strong>w-magic, ready <strong>to</strong> butt heads with the Lady <strong>of</strong> Pain. Barmy, barmy<br />

barmy old hag... only succeeding in getting herself mazed. She's likely dead,<br />

by now."<br />

"Sha<strong>do</strong>w-magic?"<br />

"Yes, yes, yes..." He seemed uneasy about speaking <strong>of</strong> her. "Ravel dabbled...<br />

no, <strong>not</strong> dabbled, but excelled in all schools <strong>of</strong> magic. She knew sha<strong>do</strong>w<br />

magics, magics <strong>of</strong> illusion and sha<strong>do</strong>w substance, sha<strong>do</strong>ws, residues <strong>of</strong> dead<br />

things."<br />

"How might I find her?"<br />

"How might you WHAT?!" His candy rolled right out <strong>of</strong> his mouth and on<strong>to</strong><br />

the tiles. Before I could so much as look at it, he snatched it up and popped<br />

it back in<strong>to</strong> his mouth, giving me a dirty look. Gross.<br />

"Why... why would you ask such a thing? Are you MAD? What could you<br />

possibly want with such an evil creature?"<br />

"She knows something about my past."<br />

"Doubtful... she was mazed many centuries ago. Gone - penned in the<br />

dead-book, she is. And even if she were somewhy, somehow still clutching<br />

<strong>to</strong> life with her blackened, bloody talons, what could she possibly know<br />

about you? If she wasn't the spitting image <strong>of</strong> cackling evil, that is, and was<br />

even willing <strong>to</strong> help you..."<br />

"I'll just have <strong>to</strong> hope she's alive and will help me."<br />

"By Leshe's six teats and her swollen tummy, what a flickering candle <strong>of</strong><br />

hope hurled in<strong>to</strong> the howling winds <strong>of</strong> Pandemonium that is!<br />

Flicker-flicker-whooosh! Don't <strong>be</strong> any more the fool than you need <strong>be</strong>!"<br />
