Fabulous! I know I have read your fiction before, but I don't remember anything like this.
Is this why she is so afraid of storms? She knows those who hate her come to life during storms? You took it to a whole other level to mythological/phantasmagorical. I wish I could write like that.
The pig-wold is a hate-filled creature, and the countess doesn't stand a chance. Or does she? Maybe George and the dobermans have super powers too. She might be hate-filled too for all we know from either of the first two parts. Thanks for participating! I'll go see if steempeak wallet is working yet, and send that sbi your way if I can.
