The
door
to
the
pigsty
creaked
open
revealing
a
short
figure
wrapped
in
a
cloak
and
wearing
a
round
,
tightly
fitting
cap
.
After
a
moment
's
hesitation
,
the
woman
crossed
the
threshold
.
The
reeking
man
threw
himself
at
her
,
slashing
forcefully
with
his
knife
,
and
tumbled
to
his
knees
as
the
knife
met
with
no
resistance
,
passing
through
the
figure
's
throat
as
though
through
a
cloud
of
smoke
.
Because
the
figure
really
was
a
cloud
of
smoke
--
one
which
was
already
starting
to
disperse
.
But
before
it
completely
vanished
another
figure
burst
into
the
pigsty
,
indistinct
,
dark
and
nimble
as
a
weasel
.
Dandilion
saw
it
throw
a
cloak
at
the
lantern
man
,
jump
over
the
reeking
one
,
saw
something
glisten
in
its
hand
,
and
heard
the
reeking
man
wheeze
and
choke
savagely
.
The
lantern
man
disentangled
himself
from
the
cloak
,
jumped
,
took
a
swing
with
his
knife
.
242
A
fiery
lightning
bolt
shot
from
the
dark
figure
with
a
hiss
,
slapped
over
the
tough
's
face
and
chest
with
a
crack
and
spread
over
him
like
flaming
oil
.
The
ruffian
screamed
piercingly
and
the
grim
reek
of
burning
meat
filled
the
pigsty
.
243
Then
Rience
attacked
.
The
spell
he
cast
illuminated
the
darkness
with
a
bluish
flash
in
which
Dandilion
saw
a
slender
woman
wearing
man
's
clothes
gesticulating
strangely
with
both
hands
.
He
only
glimpsed
her
for
a
second
before
the
blue
glow
disappeared
with
a
bang
and
a
blinding
flash
.
Rience
fell
back
with
a
roar
of
fury
and
collapsed
onto
the
wooden
pigsty
walls
,
breaking
them
with
a
crash
.
The
woman
dressed
in
man
's
clothing
leapt
after
him
,
a
stiletto
flashing
in
her
hand
.
The
pigsty
filled
with
brightness
again
--
this
time
golden
--
beaming
from
a
bright
oval
which
suddenly
appeared
in
the
air
.
Dandilion
saw
Rience
spring
up
from
the
dusty
floor
,
leap
into
the
oval
and
immediately
disappear
.
The
oval
dimmed
but
,
before
it
went
out
entirely
,
the
woman
ran
up
to
it
shouting
incomprehensibly
,
stretching
out
her
hand
.
Something
crackled
and
rustled
and
the
dying
oval
boiled
with
roaring
flames
for
a
moment
.
A
muffled
sound
,
as
if
coming
from
a
great
distance
,
reached
Dandilion
's
ears
--
a
sound
very
much
like
a
scream
of
pain
.
The
oval
went
out
completely
and
darkness
engulfed
the
pigsty
again
.
The
poet
felt
the
power
which
gagged
him
disappear
.

"
Help
!
"
he
howled
.
"
Help
!
"
245
"
Stop
yelling
,
Dandilion
,
"
said
the
woman
,
kneeling
next
to
him
and
slicing
through
the
knots
with
Rience
's
stiletto
.
246
"
Yennefer
?
Is
that
you
?
"
247
"
Surely
you
're
not
going
to
say
you
do
n't
remember
how
I
look
.
And
I
'm
sure
my
voice
is
not
unfamiliar
to
your
musical
ear
.
Can
you
get
up
?
They
did
n't
break
any
bones
,
did
they
?

Dandilion
stood
with
difficulty
,
groaned
and
stretched
his
aching
shoulders
.
249
"
What
's
with
them
?
"
He
indicated
the
bodies
lying
on
the
ground
.
250
"
We
'll
check
.
"
The
enchantress
snicked
the
stiletto
shut
.
"
One
of
them
should
still
be
alive
.
I
've
a
few
questions
for
him
.
