The Prophecy of the Four Hair Witches
The podcast discusses the prophecy of the four hair witches, who will unite and perform a ritual to bring about the end of days. The host explains that this prophecy has been a driving force behind the Order of Mlangeth, an organization founded by Darius Fordenbridge to uncover the truth and protect society from the potential threat of the hair witches. The host expresses skepticism about the prophecy and questions the validity of the belief, mentioning that predictions of the end of the world have occurred numerous times throughout history without coming true.
Janice's Revelation and Dan's Involvement
Janice reveals to Dan that his late mother was a hair witch and that his involvement in the events surrounding the sinkhole and the hair witches goes deeper than he realizes. She shows him a book tracing the lineage of the hair witches, with his mother's name listed along with the names of Sarah and Evie. Janice emphasizes the connection between the sinkhole and the events that followed, and suggests that there is more to uncover about the hair witches' intentions and their involvement in the prophecy.
Meeting Darius Fordenbridge
After going on the run and being found by his father, Dan is brought to Darius Fordenbridge, the founder of Harland. Fordenbridge explains his belief in the potential threat posed by the hair witches and his mission to protect society. He reveals that he sees Dan's ability to communicate with animals, particularly crows, as a valuable asset in the conflict with the hair witches. Fordenbridge discusses potential solutions and strategies, including close observation of the hair witches rather than outright killing, and seeks Dan's assistance in the endeavor.
Lucy Catherine's supernatural thriller continues. On the run from the police, Dan has sought refuge inside the trunk of the ancient Wych Elm which still stands amidst the charred ruins of Harland's shopping centre.
