The witches protecting the United Kingdom and Ireland from supernatural enemies had established themselves in their Northern Irish community ten years earlier. In that time their supernatural services had not been required. It happened that way sometimes, as if their mortal enemies from another dimension required a long break, though in fairness the cosmic calendar barely registered the passing of ten Earth years. However, what the witches feared most was a sense of complaceny that inevitably burdened them when living on Earth. Something that was to prove justified.
