"Mistress Kali?" a little boy appears at her doorway, his face smudged with dirt. "I was just wundring if you would like some water? I just went to the well,"

"Miss?" his eyebrows crease. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to my old town. There's a few things I need to do. Now please don't distract me now because I need to pack,"
The boy runs out of the house back to his own and Kali smiles. The people of Sanlow were so easy to manipulate, to charm.

She walks through her empty house, her steps loud in the empty town. Descending to the basement she sighs with relief as she sees that the machine is still there. The machine that changed her life. She flips the on switch. Then she rubs her hands together. She's going to change the world again.
