Robert was reminded of a conversation he’d had, not so long ago, with Desdemona. They had been standing in the local saloon, where so many of the townspeople went of an evening.

“Why did you not turn, when we were at war?” he asked.

“Turn?” she replied.

“Yes, you know - become the baobhan sith,” Robert said.

She had turned to look at him and appraised him in silence.

“I’ve been a monster far longer than I’ve been in this human shape,” she said. “Long was the time I hunted young men like you on the lonely roads of the Highlands. I was Death, come for them.”

“Aye,” said Robert. “So why not use it?”

Desdemona sighed.

“Because, Robert,” she said. “I’m afraid I may not find my way back.”

She stared off into a past he could not see.

“Just as I’m afraid this war will never end.”
