conversations.value: It's been decades since the last time The Witch of Sidra was defeated...or so everyone thought.
  
  Now, the rumbles near the Mirrored Ravine indicate she may be back, and stronger than before. The current Queen doesn't seem particularly worried, but those who defeated Celestina before know what this means. 
  
  **The Witch is back.**
