Whilst growing up in the country, Reigns Operatives a & B, from an early age became aware of the bizarre, yet inconclusive, fate of a woman from a neighboring village. It took some years (and a great deal of wading through a seemingly endless stream of local conjecture) for them to ascertain that the woman in question was Millicent Blades: A middle-aged widow who had disappeared during the blizzard of 1978, vanishing somewhere between the villages of Tup's Fold and Tone Gulley. Nothing was found of her save a set of interrupted footprints and a pile of clothes - all turned inside out.
