We must have a woman who will tend the house and bear children as she works in the fields, and will a…

Out of respect, the younger two waited for the oldest bruja, Geralda with her hip-length white hair floating around her shoulders, to lower her elfin self onto a flattened rock. Even though the most aged, Geralda’s wicked magic exerted a violence seen in women half her age. With hardly a furrow on her brow, her powers burned white hot.
