When Ewan posed the question of a royal family connection to witchcraft, Fiona spoke softly, "Well, I believe that female members of British royalty during the 15th century were accused of being witches. I'm not sure if they were indeed witches and I'm not sure if this continued into when this Queen Victoria and her family were around."

At the mention of the article, Fiona reached into one of the pockets of her robes and pulled out the article and held it up to show Isla and Ewan. "I thought it might be handy to hang onto this when we departed the great hall," she replied with a small shrug.

When Isla spoke about this 'Storm of the Century,' Fiona's eyes widened with keen interest. "Okay, I've heard of weather vortexes. Maybe this is a time vortex."

Okay, it was a long shot but this mystery needed solving.
