Mammy Lena met this sorceress during her hardest time. She didn't have any direction and knew nowhere to go. Apart from knowing that she had to go to the empire of Kaneria, she had nothing. No portrait of the child.
Her mistress's mind seemed to be foggy for a reason and she couldn't remember the child's appearance.
For a long time, people even thought that she was hallucinating and the trauma she faced in the years she wasn't home was too much. But only those closest to her knew that she had indeed given birth. After all, the doctor proved it.
When the sorceress appeared to Mammy Lena she didn't care if the other was fooling her. As long as there was some hope, then she was fine with the sorceress's game.
Besides, she didn't have anything to lose and nothing about her seemed appealing to the sorceress, so she agreed.
The sorceress gave her a strange stone. And it was so hilarious she nearly cursed the nine generations of the sorceress.
