The witcher wrinkles his nose ever so slightly. Is that new? That sounds new. Or at the very least, whatever information they found on the Beast beating the Huntsman conveniently left out anything about tearing elements asunder and all the rest of that.

Still, whatever power he has now, he'd been beaten once. And if all the Wyld Fae were fine with rolling over and accepting the rule of something like the Huntsman, they wouldn't be standing here yelling at a bunch of them up in a tree not running around at the Huntsman's whim, so there's got to be something here to work with.
