Before they made their arrangements with Ebony, someone then appeared in front of the open door. A person dressed in a very deep gray gown looked at them awkwardly.

"Oh, uh, shoot! Am I too late?"

Ebony held a finger up to Valerian and Evelynne as if to say, "One second." She walked up to the witch, who stood uncertainly. "The shop is indeed closed........but, since I have guests inside who are already bargaining with me, you can come in!"

"Oh, thank you!"

"What may be the trouble?" Ebony asked the witch.

"My husband cheated on me with that wench!" The witch scowled.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, you've come to the right place for revenge seeking. So what will you like.....truth serum for confrontation?"

"No, I want to see him now down to me and beg me mercy!" The witch replied.

"Hmm, forcefully?" Ebony asked.

"Yes, absolutely!" The witch said with glee.

Ebony walks with her. "I have just the right selection for you to choose from. I've got some nice tools for Blood Magic on display! Pick what you like!" Ebony explains.

"Oh, wonderful! Uh, which one will REALLY make him suffer? Something that will kill him slowly?"

"Oh, you're looking for a Blood Magic tool that's more fiery, huh?" Ebony says excitedly. She points at a wand with a very sharp tip at the end of it. "That's the one I believe you're looking for?"

"Oh perfect, thank you! What will the payment be?"

"Oh, don't worry about coin, save it for your family's supper tonight. How about a trade instead?"

"Alright, thanks! What will I give you?"

"Your ex - husband's head!" Ebony said simply, she then caught herself. "Oh, I'm sorry......where are my manners. It's personal, you're probably going to want to keep it!"

"Actually no, I don't want to keep him or his memories in my house! I'll give you the head. Do me a favor though...."

Ebony lifts her chin up with interest, raising her eyebrows. "What will that be, honey?"

"I don't want to see it next time I'm here."

"Oh, don't worry. I'm planning to hang him over my bathroom sink. It'll be a nice decor for my luxurious home!"

The witch's eyes furrowed. "Huh, I never thought of decors like THAT before....."

"Do you want him then?"

"No, I hate his guts enough."

"Ebony smiled. "Understandable."
