You spend some time this year reading the skies, which tell you the proper times to beckon the Frauma as well as the proper direction to find the island's rough center. You save the latter information for later, though, since you've got other plans this year, plans that will deal with the Witch once again to push her ever further to the brink of death.

So you go to her farther village, hiding nearby as you pelt the place with driving rain and colored moons. Before long the people are driven to such despair they cannot even leave their homes to drive you away, and you flow proudly among the tents and huts, ensuring every single one of them suffers sufficiently for serving the Witch. The wailing people gnash their teeth and tear at each others' bodies, and in the blood of those who ran to the wilderness you see what you must do.

You come upon the old bat quite suddenly as you are attempting to draw the attentions of her children. It seems she's managed to reform herself once more. "Seduction is a low-born tool; My sons are not so easily fooled."

You are in the middle of threatening the Witch as she stamped about when the Frauma charge madly into the village, reflecting the terrible red light of the moon hidden by clouds, to the point that the whole of the village seems bathed in blood as more droplets rain from the sky. The mortals are driven to terror as they rush against you only half-conscious of themselves, and their blood soon spills and joins with the water as it runs down the earth and collects in depressions.

Your slaying of the Witch goes quickly this time, thanks to the many hands of your Frauma, and you stalk to her shrine, tearing and pulling as the muck softened the foundation and the moon weakened the timbers and stones. It gives with a mighty crash, and the Witch's cry echoes as her astral spirit escapes to her final hiding place. You indulge in more murder and violence here, slaying men, women, and children with the Frauma beside you.

When you leave in the morning, there is only red water and many, many corpses.

You march back home, feeling proud. You have taken some of the blood with you, and attempted to put to skins a picture of the sight of the Witch's village at dawn, but the blood caked poorly and congealed, changing color and ruining it as you wasted the Ultramarine on it. You have better luck with Obsidian, when you shape it slowly into small, flat spikes, like teeth. Parts of them are slightly blunted so that they can be affixed to spear shafts, but the bits are too small to use for a good spear! You try to correct this by making them with your young children, or maybe the Sea Pixies, in mind, but in the end all you have are a bunch of comically small throwing spears.

Keshketev seems very happy with the idea of gaining more valuable things to craft with, and is always happy to join you in the act of creation, though the outcome is slightly poorer this time.

You surprise yourself when you bear a pair of young children, the first making you think of Seski, and the second reminding you much more of Saiga. You must have lain with some of the regular people in the Witch's village before things had reached their peak. They are uninteresting, nearly disappointing, however, in how typical they seem.

You leave them with your attendants and sequester yourself with the strange silver bowl and obsidian, as you try to determine their purpose. Knowledge gleaned from Keshketev reveals that Obsidian is sharp, an excellent weapon, and gains power in the dark. If you made many of them, figures of Obsidian might even invoke a sense of terror in those who beheld them. As for the silver, you know that it is very useful in gleaning mystical secrets, astrological ones especially, but the peculiar stuff you've made can be cut and chipped like crystal, and though it is still a murky grey-white, it sparkles like a gem in the sun. Pretty~

Finally, you find some time to follow the stars you'd read earlier this year, flying many miles towards the center of Niogg. You land and change into human form, and you feel nervous. There is another larger village here, and shrines to several spirits. The people have paints of red upon their bodies in patterns depicting many kills and successes in war, and they wield numerous weapons and have knives of large whole pieces of obsidian, nearly two handspans, chipped to deadly points. Twice you have to use your wiles to distract brutish men from simply taking you to their homes, and even the women look like your husband.

What is this place? Your musing is interrupted at last, when a spirit emerges from one of the shrines, carrying a large stone club. The man has many scars and his mace drips fresh blood. You discover why, when he simply crushes a man under the massive stone, turning him to viscera that drips anew from the base of the mallet.

You leave quickly.

1 Success; Gaerig HP 5/12
All Shrines Occupied; Automatic forced Domination (all compulsions subverted) (all statistics revealed)

The Crone is unable to sense you this time, and you take a moment to observe her, a rarity for you. Now that you look more closely, you notice the oddness of her features, namely, the strangeness in her teeth and eyes. With slit pupils and odd flat teeth, you begin to suspect at least one reason she has consistently escaped your dominance. She has some snake in her. Her bones are visible where her clothes end. She is starved and emaciated. You will put her out of her misery.

At once, you appear, startling her and making her stumble when she tries to fend you off with clever steps. "My end will not be today; I need only to delay!"

Delay she does not, as you strike her over and over, she can barely even limp away when you finally crush her skull like a berry. You hear the Frauma, causing chaos in the distance, and you enter her final shrine.

Her presence coalesces into her odd runes and squiggles. They are comprehensible to you, but you suspect it will only last while you're here, confronting her one final time.

Spare me, Goddess, this I beg of you; Cursed I am by madness of a Shrew!
