"Mistress."
Dorothy Green looked up at the older woman as she waited for an answer. She had just finished explaining what she had seen in the moon chart- how the lines had crossed where they shouldn't have and how the star that was supposed to fade had instead grown darker. She hoped the Grand Witch would be able to answer that. After all, they needed to return soon
But the Grand Witch said nothing. And this made Dorothy worry. What if even the Grand Witch did not know. And after the story that she had heard yesterday, she was even more unsure of the suggestion that she had given Crown Prince Lance about mating on the Golden moon. If Miss Ramona Vye was not the right mate then...
She shifted slightly and tried again, her tone more tentative and pleading this time. "Mistress, does the rising black star indicate that the mate chosen by the three triplet brothers is wrong? Does it have anything to do with the story you told Prince Zenlast night?"
