Amelia started to become angry at the woman's mysterious babbling. "Can't you just give me a straight answer?" She said, balling her hands into fists. "What is going to end?"

"Life." She giggles. "Cassadar thinks he is stopping it. Poor, poor man. To have sold his soul to save the world, and all for a lie."

Again Ami looked shocked, the things she had heard, what Benjen had told her... "He... how is life going to end? Is there no way to stop it? If Cassadar is wrong..."

She giggled again. "Cassadar listened to me, you silly bitch. Sacrifices having to be made to save the world and all. Very noble and greater good sounding, and he bit it hook line and sinker. It made him feel better about being a monster. Monsters just want to feel justified."
Mooton's face twitches. "Let's just leave, Amelia. This woman is clearly insane."

Ami nodded at Mootoon, though she did want to know what was in the hut. "Is there anything you can tell us? Something that isn't a riddle?"

The woman smiles at her. "Ask your question. Be very specific."

She wanted to know so many things, there were questions among questions. What should she ask? Might as well ask about myself...
She moved towards the woman, not wanting Mootoon to hear. "Am I... going to be as powerful as I dream? As I want to be?" She whispered.

The woman smiles pleasantly. "That isn't very specific. You'll be as powerful as you sacrifice."

Ami frowned. "As I sacrifice?" She bit her lip, wanted to wring the woman's neck. "Fine..." She almost turned. "Will I... ride the big black beast?" A final whisper.

"Your chance passed. You are too frightened to be a queen." She shrugs. "That's why you've failed at your chance to become one twice now, and will again."

Amelia lashed out at the woman with a right handed slap, putting as much force into it as possible. "I will be a Queen!" She hissed.

Amelia slaps the woman, but her face doesn't move, and her hand suddenly burns as though she'd hit a stone. "Only if you sacrifice."

"Ahhh!" Ami cried, holding her hand tightly to her chest. "What do I have to sacrifice? Tell me!"

"You already know. Whatever's in your way. You're even worse to deal with than Cassadar; wanting some little justification that your evil little secrets are all right and you can avoid the blame if someone stronger just tells you to." She grins. "Queens are supposed to take what they want."

Ami's eyes harden on the woman, glaring at her for a long, long instant. "Mootoon, let us go," She finally said, turning around and returning to her horse.
