"You don't know what it was like when Enola calmed ... and remembered what she tried to do to Ally. She had actually been rabid enough to want to slaughter her own little girl. I had to perform a very intimate mind ritual with her just so she could get through the first few days after it without self-harming, that's how senseless she became in her guilt and grief. The ritual took twenty hours, required my Welsh Celtic magic ... the most ancient form I know ... and she begged me to wipe the memory of it all from her. I would have done that in the end, anyway, because Enola might never have forgiven herself otherwise.
