"It was done. Once," the Mistress Supreme answered. Even Marea was stunned, and the Bubble Magician's reaction ranged between that of the young Witch and his flatmate. "I'll support you, Gran, in whatever you decide to do," Marea said. "Yet, she's so... How can we be sure she's no longer a threat?" "Her staff will be broken, of course, and her... relics... confiscated and destroyed, but all that is superficial. Either the community is convinced that she's changed, or the Morrigans claim her."

"Yet, if the individual has failed to learn, has not repented of their actions, or in any other way is found wanting, a Morrigan is summoned. The Old Ways celebrate Sisterhood and forgiveness, not blind stupidity. A death sentence is still a death sentence." Ynarra shrugged. Elora looked bleak; she had no hope that such a trial would be permitted at all, much less that anyone would speak for her. Mark, raised with the strictness of the Yelaadim, was plainly incredulous. "You let them go?"

"The guilty party is believed to have lost who they truly are, and hence wandered onto a false path." Ynarra smiled in reminiscence of a more innocent era, or at least one where the sheen of innocence still persisted. "So, for three days, the criminal is reminded of the pure spirit that they are at heart. Everyone who knows them gathers and relates the good and kind things they have done in life, great and small. At the end of that period, the person is readmitted into society, if possible."

"Witnessed is not granted, of course," Gran continued in a more normal tone, "so I'll have to make the same plea before the leaders of both Orders, but for now, her status is a little less precarious." Everyone except the two Faes looked puzzled in the extreme, since even Robin and Elora herself were too young to remember a time before the Scourge. "According to the Old Ways," the elderly Witch explained, "any offender is presumed to have done wrong because they have forgotten how to do right."

"I'm fine, dear. Or I will be fine," the Mistress Supreme replied. "This is my sister, Elora," she announced formally. "She is a Traitor to the Sisterhood. Yet it is I who have defeated her, and I... request... that she be subject of and subjected to the Old Ways, that ruled before we Witches were Light and Dark." Then the old woman nodded, as though something vital had been accomplished. "Witnessed," stated Tylyr and Belandvyn in perfect synchronization. "Thank you," Ynarra said simply.
