Luna woke up from the smell of fried meat. At other times that would have been delicious. Today it just made her sick, that smell didn't give her pleasant memories. She got up, looked at a nearby metal bucket and just managed to throw up everything that she couldn't eat the day before, she still felt the sourness in her throat.

"It seems that beef is not a good option for you." - Beatrice said.

"Not yet. I hope to improve soon. I would appreciate it if you gave me some fruit, or cheese or milk."

"Do you think I'm rich?" - She replied.

"I'm sorry" - Luna looked at the floor

"Don't worry. Actually, I really am rich. At least enough to live with three pretty girls." - she smiled

"Do you have ... three children?"

"What?" - She looked at her - "No no no. I mean my four cows. They are called Pretty the Second, Pretty the Third and Pretty the Fourth. The stew was Pretty the First."

"Oh! I'm sorry, Pretty the First, I can't eat you." - Luna said in a sarcastic way and looked at her dish for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'll eat it later. I'll make you a vegetable soup, okay?" - Beatrice said as she started looking for a container on a shelf.

"Thank you". - Luna sat on the bed where she was before while looking out the window - "Beatriz, will you have something of that herbal tea from yesterday?"

"Sorry, it's over. I have to collect more herbs to do it. In any case I have a little bit of anise. They say it's good for the stomachache." -Beatrice boiled some seeds in a small pot, approached Luna who was beginning to want to sleep again and gave her a cup with the infusion. "It's hot, I recommend you wait a while before drinking." - said Beatrice.

Luna felt cold despite the cup burning her hands, she proceeded to drink the herbal tea, while watching how Beatriz walked in her kitchen looking for everything needed for the broth. Her brother Hippolytus was right when he told her that she looked like an angel... wait, what was she thinking? Maybe she was raving. Anyway, seeing her helped her to forget everything for a moment.

Beatrice approached her with her lovely smile as usual and told her to sit at the wooden table. She served Luna a pumpkin soup with potatoes and carrots, it didn't look bad, it had some oregano leaves touch even. The soup made her feel better and the weather was warmer, for a moment she felt at peace. Beatrice was pretty, there was no way to deny it, why did she think so much about her?

"What do you think young ... Luna?"

"I won't be Luna anymore. Now my name is Diana. Luna died in the fire two days ago."

"Okay, Diana. What will you do now? Reunite with your family?"

"Your brother didn't tell you?"- Luna asked

"He just sent me a small message with a neighbor saying you were coming." - Beatrice replied

"I see. He told me to join the revolution."

"What the WHAT ?!" - For the first time Luna saw Beatrice angry. She started walking back and forth while saying - "Is he crazy? How do you plan to help him?"

"Well, about that" - Luna pulled a collar from inside her nightgown. - "He told me that you could help me clarify some things."

Beatrice looked at the quartz carefully and proceeded to touch it with a clamp.

"What are you doing?" - Luna asked

"I'll take it from you. Isn't that what you want?"

"No. I just want to know why I have this, why I almost died from being a witch and why nobody can touch it without getting hurt."

"I don't know if I can answer all the questions Diana, but I'll try. I hope you like stories." - Beatrice said- " As you should know, witches exist. They are not beliefs of crazy priests, but it is not as you think ..."

They don't sleep with demons? And don't eat newborns? - Luna asked

"No and what person told you that? It's true that there are people who use their powers for evil, but most of us live in peace with nature". - Beatrice answered

"And what about the quartz?"

"Quartz works as a kind of amulets and is transmitted by family from generation to generation. At the moment I think that's all you need to know, go to sleep". - Beatrice was starting to get upset again.

"But, I want to know more Beatrice." - Luna said.

"Silence!" - She placed herindex finger on Luna's lips -Girl, I'm tired, could you please go to sleep? - She looked straight into her eyes, her eyes were sky blue, with a look that seemed to never have a doubt.

"Okay. I will go to sleep. But I have a lot of questions." - Luna answered

"Miss Diana please sleep. Tomorrow will be another day." - Beatrice said.

Luna was laying in bed, again that feeling of peace, of a forest and a woman illuminated in the background, calm.
