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...

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.

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.
Stepping...

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...

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...
