Daniel glanced out the window.
    "But before we get to that, Alyssa, who were those men trying to kill you? I wasn't aware there were bandits in the area," he said casually. Alyssa giggled to herself and shrugged.
    "I don't think they were bandits per se, but they certainly weren't very nice either way. Hee hee, that rhymed!" she said with a laugh at the end. Daniel smirked and nodded, then glanced over to her.
    "You love playing the part of a little girl, don't you?" he asked with an amused smile. Triska looked at him confused while Alyssa shrugged with an innocent smile.
    "What? What do you mean 'playing the part'?" Triska asked cautiously.
    "What's in that book? I haven't seen one like that before," Alyssa asked curiously while looking at the book in Daniel's hand. He looked to it and smiled proudly.
    "A monster guide so to speak. You see in the interest of finding peaceful and trustworthy monsters I've read up on different types of them out in the world, just so I'm prepared should I happen to come across one. And it just so happens that's exactly what occurred. I thought since I'm talking to a witch I'd better brush up on their known background," he explained, looking to the witch with a calm smile. She giggled and leaned towards him with a playful smile.
    "Oh, I see. So what does it say about witches in there?" she asked. Triska looked at the little girl then over to her friend as he read the description.
    "Monster class: Witch. Found commonly around human civilizations and grasslands. They use powerful magical spells and hexes to charm and subdue their prey. Their bodies don't physically age further than that of a young girl; however their lifespan can easily surpass a human’s. Although not commonly hostile a great deal of caution is recommended as they have been known to be deceptive and misleading. They've been known to use their magic and allure of innocence to steal men away," he read aloud. Closing the book he looked to Alyssa with a knowing smile, the witch smiling happily at him.
    "Something tells me those men out there knew what you were, Alyssa, one way or another," he said with an accusing smile. The witch giggled and nodded.
    "Yeah, they found out eventually. Whoopsie," she said with a shrug and a small laugh.
    "Allure of innocence? You mean…" Triska said looking to the young witch with wonder. Alyssa smirked then held her staff up, the relic glowing orange as she looked to the table. A few cookies floated up a bit and broke apart into humanoid forms with legs, arms, and a head. Four of them floated together as another broke apart and formed into a smaller human form.
    "Oh help, oh help, I'm all alone," Alyssa said in a cutesy voice as she had the smaller cookie shake around slightly.
    "Oh ho ho, what do we have here?" the witch said in a gruff voice as the four bigger cookies bounced up and down towards the small one.
    "I'm all alone, help me," Alyssa said as she had the smaller cookie shake.
    "Heh heh heh, we'll help you out, little girl, won't we boys?" she said in a tough voice as the other cookies bounced a bit. Daniel and Triska glanced to each other worriedly then back to the strange puppet show.
    "What are you doing? Oh no, please don't. I beg of you," Alyssa said in a cute innocent voice as she had the other cookies move closer to the little one. Daniel and Triska watched with slightly disgusted faces as the witch had the cookies act out what transpired between her and the men that were dead outside, in full detail complete with sound effects and colorful commentary. After the two travelers watched the demented cookie show Alyssa giggled and bounced up and down on her seat, looking to Daniel with an adorable smile as the cookies crumbled onto the table.
    "So you see they were bad men anyway. They actually wanted to have their way with a little, innocent girl. Hee hee, well actually, they did. Hee hee!" Alyssa said with a cute smile.
    "I'm never going to want a cookie again," Daniel said weakly as
