The short blonde sorcerer sat in her home, smiling to herself. After all these years, she still waited. She had been planning for decades, dragging things out for her own personal enjoyment. She was waiting for the perfect time to strike, but she had never had patience.

Their deaths were going to be brutal, and she couldn't WAIT.
