The witch remained unconscious for long hours. She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep after the ritual. The new man watched and waited for her eyes to be opened once again but the witch remained the way she was.
Twas not until late noon of the next day that the witch awoke and found herself upon her bed which had become the bed of the beast over the past days.
She found upon her naked body was a cloth loosely wrapped around her. Her eyes moved around the house and when she saw that he was nowhere in sight, she arose from the bed, wrapping the cloth more firmly around her body.
She walked towards the door, opened it and when she stepped out, the first thing her eyes touched was the broad back of a man who was standing about five feet away from her.
He stood there in a gray tunic and black leather pants. His feet were bare.
He was tall with long black hair that reached the center of his back.
