IT WAS ONLY AFTER ^'S PERSISTENCE THAT HE FINALLY STARTED TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE WITCH, WHOM TURNED TO BE ANYTHING BUT. A CACHE OF SHIMMERING JEWELS TO BE HARVESTED LAYS RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES.  
  
AS HE BEGINS, HE HEARS ONE FINAL MESSAGE, AS THE 'WITCH' DOES NOT SPEAK NORMALLY..  
  
"NEVER IN MY TIME HAVE I SEEN ONE WITH A LOVE OF GEMS AS I. BUT NOW AFTER I HAVE TESTED YOU, I CAN FINALLY SEE WHY! YOU ARE VERY FAMOUS, THAT MUCH I KNEW. SO IT WAS LITTLE WONDER YOU SAW EACH OF MY TRIALS THROUGH. I SHALL DONATE TO YOU A PORTION OF MY HOARD. GIFT THESE RICHES TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD. FOR THE TRUE TREASURE IS A COURAGEOUS HEART; WHAT MISERY YOU HAVE SUFFERED, I SHALL NOW PART.  
  
MAY YOUR LUCK SHINE AND YOUR CLEVERNESS BE TRUE. IT WILL BE THE VERY THING THAT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH. BUY MANY GIFTS, SPREAD PLENTY OF CHEER. AND CARRY THE LIGHT WITH YOU UNTO THE NEXT YEAR."  
  
..THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS NOT THE FACT ^'S MESSENGER WAS A DRAGON, BUT THE FACT THERE WAS NO WITCH TO BE FOUND! REGARDLESS, THE IMPRESSION LEFT BEHIND ENSURED THE CREATURE WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY MORE SUFFERING..
