[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7151855, member: 20323"] As Elora concentrates on freeing the sorceress Margarita Laux-Antille from her affliction, there is a whispering darkness just faintly audible in the air around the misshapen sorceress, so fleeting it may have been imagined. The harder Elora tries to draw out the darkness, the more entrenched it becomes, as if a parasite rooting and coiling itself deeper around its host when threatened with being cut out. Then Elora's eyes roll back, flooded with images that follow a roughly chronological sequence, though it is distorted and there are gaps as if the timing of the events is in question.... A sorcerer with a twisted leering smile invokes a curse. He derives dark satisfaction, even fascination, from casting it upon her. Margarita, as a child, gasps in pain. Shame. Shame at how she looks. Suitors gawking at her. Hours in the mirror perfecting her make-up, working the words of the transmutation spell over and over till her lips crack and her eyes weep. Years of agony and humiliation. And finally release. She has mastered the spell, no longer held captive to the sorcerer's curse. For a moment, everything is a thick grey mist, and then a chill of foreboding runs down the back of Elora's skull as a face looms out of the fog. A face discarding a face, sloughing off like melting wax. She is, without question, the most malicious hag Elora could ever imagine. Nearly as large as a troll, face an eerie shade of metallic blue, nails like black iron knives, teeth like needles, eyes that crackle with the fury of the storm. The hag is real. She is dispelling the transmutation spell, setting Margarita "free", and condemning her to relive the curse. And then the hag speaks, but the words make no sense spoken as they were in the past to Margarita: [b][i]"A daughter for a daughter, 'tis only fair, Elora the Wisewife."[/i][/b] Then, the horrible vision abruptly ends. [GM]We can detail what happened with Elora and Fergus and reversing the hag's curse that turned Elora if you want [MENTION=8058]Queenie[/MENTION]. However, what's going on here is a little different than what befell Elora. There's no Witcher canon I know of regarding breaking curses; they're typically complicated things.
