Fighting off a rampaging troll in the woods just to rescue her milk cow wasn't the first thing on her list today.
Neither was finding a male wood nymph, who needed her help. What didn't help was his attitude of being "Nature's gift to women", but his broken leg meant, he was going to perish out there, when the next troll came along.
Come to think of it, maybe that troll was after him, and not her Bessie-cow? Regardless, she just couldn't leave him...

A nude woman collapsed on my doorstep. Someone I knew somehow.
Of course, I carried her in and cared for her. Gave her shelter, clothes, and food to heal.
In her normal form, she was one of the most powerful entities on this planet, in all known history. Harpy.
But for now, she was simply human. And to regain her strength, she said she needed to make love with me. The weird part was the last time we met, she tried to kill me. And now I had...

When I woke up this morning, I felt like falling in love.
Something had happened in my dreams, while I was sleeping. I'd only gotten away from my spell-protected farm for a little bit.
Just going to find some wild fruit in season, and maybe to pick a bouquet of wild flowers to brighten up my farm house.
And then I found a tiny oasis of green ferns and blue flowers that was growing in the deep footprint of the troll I'd recently vanquished.

It started with a dream.
In it, John Earl Stark solved the problem of a ghost he met. Or did he? It was a dream, after all.
The next day he meets two women who visit his cabin, arriving out of the blue, literally. (Well, one arrived with pitched black darkness which filled his cabin and made her cough.)
These two have an offer for Stark. All he really wanted was to enjoy the small cabin and solitude so he could write his detective stories.
These...

The old coven was destroyed and one witch remained, to rule them all.
Her power was absolute, and it came from those she vanquished.
The last rite to perform was the Dance - where all these powers and their personalities were unified into a single force.
Without that core immersion, the powers and personalities would war with each other forever - inside her mind.
This had only been attempted once in all known history. And failed, fragmenting all...

One too many. And, I couldn't remember last night, either. Both unlikely for a witch.
But, my powers were still here. Well, sort of.
And, that's all I remembered.
Not my name, not how I got dressed (or un-dressed) like this. Or where I was.
Helluva hangover, especially for a witch.
The problem was that I didn't remember anything before I woke up. Nothing. No childhood, no witch training, nothing.
Not even my own name.
I'd been spelled but good. Now...

Where I had come from, how I had got here, I didn't know.
All I knew were my powers, the one's I knew from my childhood. The one's I'd spent my youth learning and perfecting. Witchcraft that could kill someone, or save their life.
But, now I was here in a strange world, different people, unusual customs...
I didn't even know if my spells would work here - or if they burned witches at the stake - or tortured non-witches.
And, on top of that I was...

Her club. Her rules. Except where magic came in. Then it was her way or the highway.
And, all of her regulars knew not to cross that line. Vamps, psychics, shifters, they were all welcome. But, any serious spell-casting inside her club and they'd be worse than banned. They'd be extinguished.
Her bouncers were the toughest anywhere. Even the ones that were no higher than your kneecap - or the ones you couldn't see.
Dixie never used magic in her...
