Summary
The oldest act of creation demands the oldest kind of magic.
A bed of grass, the blood of maidens, a turn of the wrist withershins for every eight the other way, under the light of the solstice – either will suffice – clad only in one’s skin. Not the most precise of spells, and not the most reliable either – an act of creation that can lead to nothing, or worse, but one tries it as one must.
However, with a lack of precision comes a lack of specificity – the verses in language that no longer stretches to a rhyme are never very clear about what a maiden is. Certainly, two witches who have shared a bed for countless decades can believably be maidens to the right ears.
In which Nicholas is born of old magic. It is not enough.

Summary
Agatha gently shook her head, giving up. “She’ll be here in an hour. But you have to promise me to behave yourself.”
“What do you think I’ll do?”
“Hit her?” Agatha almost grinned, “Mark your territory and intimidate her?”
“It’s my wife and kid we’re talking about–”
“Ex.”
“What?”
Agatha narrowed her eyes, a certain pain lingering behind the aqua. “Ex wife, Rio. I’m your ex wife, you're my ex wife.”
“I said that.”
“No,” She blew out a tired breath. “You didn’t.”

Summary
“Who is that?” Rio blurts out, awestruck by the intimidating pose of the witch surrounded by a purple background and magical frame. The portrait faces the viewer head-on, and both of her hands are cupped upward at waist height, suggesting the effortless way she conjures up the wild purple magic from her palms.
“Orion’s new headmistress,” Jennifer says, her voice weirdly soft, almost as if whispering out of respect. “I’m sure you’ll meet her soon.”
