The Dyer's Shadow

Dyer's wife has been pushing and pushing her husband more and more. She knows that the thing that is going to finally convince him to let her leave him go off and be a lost soul is if she tells him that she slept with this mystery broom turned into a man. Barak doesn't really know what that means of course but he sees in the the fire light that she has indeed sold her shadow. And there will be no children in his household. The Empress jumps in and says this is enough and I do not want this shadow. This is a shadow stained with blood. It's very dark because there's just this grand cacophony all of a sudden the gods intervene.
