Lady in Black

The room is dimly lit, but you can sense that it is quite large. You move forward silently on your soft cat feet. Something is not right here, you think.

"It's dark in here," Roger blurts out abruptly. Before you can shush the dimwitted dragon, a series of torches along the wall bursts into flame, flooding the room with light.

"Well, well," a woman's voice says. "Whom do we have here?"

The speaker is a tall, dark-haired woman, dressed entirely in black. She isn't old or ugly, but there is something about her manner that practically screams witch.

"I, uh, beg your pardon, ma'am," you begin, but the woman interrupts you with a lilting laugh.

"Oh, my!" she smiles. "A dragon and a giant talking cat. How perfectly wonderful!" The woman waves her hand, and the door behind you and Roger slams shut. "You see," she continues, "I've been wanting to meet someone exactly like you two."

"Oh?" you reply with rising fear. "And why is that?"
