It''s true that she has tiny feathers sprouting from her elbows, and that she''s the only person who remembers the odd-looking calf that has been following her. But she is most definitely Not a Witch.Meanwhile, Queen Rose of Hallow has received reports of a secret weapon in the mountains of Quill, and goes to investigate. Alone.
