It was somewhat annoying that no one at this table assessed all the routes in battling my mother. She was an experienced witch with a vendetta. All her planning over the centuries was for the day when she would face off against the High Council. There was no way she was going to allow them to get the jump on her. The fact that they have not put that into consideration pissed me off. The moment they encountered Mother was the moment she would have the upper hand. All her focus would be on her targets. If anything went amiss, she would be aware. They had to have something to encounter her sensitivity.
