Wren Reedcombe
the Deepreed Witch
Named for the wren that nests in the reed-beds of the drowned valley, and for the combe that holds the black water.
Power
You call the shadow from still water — the memory of every drowned thing rises when you ask.

You will not step onto dry ground. That is the cost: the reeds hold your feet, the silt climbs your ankles, and the water never forgets who it touched first. The combe took you slowly — a season at a time — until you belonged to the dark between the stems.
