Introduction

As with Peety and Daisy, I never know when an FC will distinguish her/his/itself and take off in my mind. Originally a nameless Witch, then Hezopatha (after a brief stint as “Bambi”) and finally taken to calling herself HeXopatha, Saragun Springs’ resident Wiccan has morphed from a one off character and has established herself firmly in the realm, which is short of antagonists because I find old fashioned storytelling, at times, just that–old fashioned.

The billigits began as the “billygates” (the Microsoft Secret Police), changed to billygits and appear to have settled as the billigits (bill-luh-gits). They are four eighteen inch tall, androgynous, orange, winged individuals who wear blue polo shirts, khaki slack and hemp slippers that usually fall off in flight. Sometimes they are blue skinned, but usually they are orange. billigits eschew the use of capital letters and they have become a heavy presence in the realm.

I’d explain further, but it’s easier to invite you back tomorrow for the opening of Book Four.
