...The Fire...

- So, both of us were born on the same night?

- Yes, you were like twins. I don't know who was born first because I couldn't bear the sight of your mother being in pain so I left the room, but both of you were completely healthy.

- Did you kick the witch out of the castle?

- I was going to do it, but Helen stopped me. She refused completely to separate the baby from his mother. I think it was because she had a baby too, and she knew how she will feel if she was deprived of her little girl.

- So, she stayed.

- Yes, since she didn't do anything worrisome. I started accepting her presence in the castle. She even became friends with Helen which made it more difficult for me to get rid of her...

- If they became friends, then how did things go wrong?
