My vacation was an eventful one. Not the way that most would think, of course. Especially considering it was my vacation.

I've spent this time since my retirement in a sort of limbo. Not sure what my future has in store for me, and silence from Her since shortly after Dashiva and I split.

So what, then, did happen while I was away? As I lay quietly by the river collecting my thoughts(and tanning), a voice came to me that I'd not heard in years. What She said is of concern only to me, but rest assured the end result will be seen and heard soon enough.

Until then, watch yourselves, Malia the coven witch has returned.
