When Gerald awoke, there were three women standing over him. Two of them were women that Gerald hadn't seen since they were small witches playing with their cauldrons and making potions for changing their eye color. The other one was Lydia, who was watching over him and gave an open jump as his eyes opened.
"Oh by the gods!" She shouted, before finally looking at him crossly. "What kind of a master are you?"
Gerald just looked around. His mind wasn't fully formed, at least yet, and his vision was almost in the form of tunnel vision. He didn't respond and simply looked distant to her.
