A loud thunder. Lightnings cast their light on Aaron's "monster": it's a marble statue depicting an angel of death standing on a pile of skulls.
-That's... a statue- says Adrian, out of field. The redhead girl can't help but laugh: -Serves you right for trusting the words of a wasted hobbit.
-WHO DID YOU CALL A HOBBIT?!- Aaron suddenly jumps at her, while Adrian keeps staring at the statue in complete exasperation. He turns to look at the other two: -FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, QUIT IT, YOU TWO!- he shouts. He then tries to regain his composure:
-Aaron, tell me again what happened. CLEARLY.
-I... I wish I knew, really- Aaron starts recounting -They just... left me on the road. See, I had this awful need to pee, so we got to a rest stop. They said they'd wait for me, but when I came back they were gone. GONE!
-WHO was gone?- Adrian rubs his forehead.
-Gandalf and the dwarves, maybe?- suggests the werewolf girl.
-My band mates- Aaron side-eyes her -I'm a famous rock star, you know?
-Yup- replies the girl -and I am the queen of England.
-You girl... please- Adrian stops her.
-Tyresias- says the girl.
-What?- Adrian asks. The girl explains:
-You can call me Tyresias.
-That's... an odd name- comments Adrian. She smiles:
-Did you prefer your majesty? ...Anyway, I'm curious to hear the rest of the story.
Aaron crosses his arms and looks away from her:
-I'm not talking to you.
When the cult that destroyed his life comes back to spread terror in town, Adrian knows that it’s time for the coven to reunite. Except that the old members are dead and the only person who could help him is powerless. Will Adrian find the allies he needs before it is too late?
