The
Witch
gave
a
yowl
of
rage
and
rushed
toward
it
with
her
fair
pigtail
flying
and
her
bony
arms
stretched
out
.
The
scarecrow
leaped
at
her
.
There
was
another
violent
bang
and
the
two
of
them
were
wrapped
in
a
magic
cloud
,
like
the
cloud
over
Porthaven
when
Howl
and
the
Witch
had
fought
.
The
cloud
battered
this
way
and
that
,
filling
the
dusty
air
with
shrieks
and
booms
.
Sophie
s
hair
frizzed
.
The
cloud
was
only
yards
away
,
going
this
way
and
that
among
pottery
pillars
.
And
the
break
in
the
wall
was
quite
near
too
.
As
Sophie
had
thought
,
the
fortress
was
really
not
big
.
Every
time
the
cloud
moved
across
the
blinding
white
gap
,
she
could
see
through
it
,
and
see
the
two
skinny
figures
battling
in
its
midst
.
She
stared
,
and
kept
wagging
her
stick
behind
her
back
.
She
was
loose
all
except
her
legs
when
the
cloud
streamed
across
in
front
of
the
light
one
more
time
.
Sophie
saw
another
person
leap
through
the
gap
behind
it
.
This
one
had
flying
black
sleeves
.
It
was
Howl
.
Sophie
could
see
the
outline
of
him
clearly
,
standing
with
arms
folded
,
watching
the
battle
.
For
a
moment
it
looked
as
if
he
was
going
to
let
the
Witch
and
the
scarecrow
get
on
with
it
.
Then
the
long
sleeves
flapped
as
Howl
raised
his
arms
.
Above
the
screaming
and
booming
,
Howl
s
voice
shouted
one
strange
,
long
word
,
and
a
long
roll
of
thunder
came
with
it
.
The
scarecrow
and
the
Witch
both
jolted
.
Claps
of
sound
rang
round
the
pottery
pillars
,
echo
after
echo
,
and
each
echo
carried
some
of
the
cloud
of
magic
away
with
it
.
It
vanished
in
wisps
and
swirled
away
in
murky
eddies
.
When
it
had
become
the
thinnest
white
haze
,
the
tall
figure
with
the
pigtail
began
to
totter
.
The
Witch
seemed
to
fold
in
on
herself
,
thinner
and
whiter
than
ever
.
Finally
,
as
the
haze
faded
clean
away
,
she
fell
in
a
heap
with
a
small
clatter
.
As
the
million
soft
echoes
died
,
Howl
and
the
scarecrow
were
left
thoughtfully
facing
one
another
across
a
pile
of
bones
.

Good
!
thought
Sophie
.
She
slashed
her
legs
free
and
went
across
to
the
headless
figure
in
the
throne
.
It
was
getting
on
her
nerves
.
No
,
my
friend
,
Howl
said
to
the
scarecrow
.
The
scarecrow
had
hopped
right
among
the
bones
and
was
pushing
them
this
way
and
that
with
its
leg
.
No
,
you
won
t
find
her
heart
here
.
Her
fire
demon
will
have
got
that
.
I
think
it
s
had
the
upper
hand
of
her
for
a
long
time
now
.
Sad
,
really
.
As
Sophie
took
off
her
shawl
and
arranged
it
decently
across
Prince
Justin
s
headless
shoulders
,
Howl
said
,
I
think
the
rest
of
what
you
were
looking
for
is
over
here
.
He
walked
toward
the
throne
,
with
the
scarecrow
hopping
beside
him
.
Typical
!
he
said
to
Sophie
.
I
break
my
neck
to
get
here
,
and
I
find
you
peacefully
tidying
up
!
Sophie
looked
up
at
him
.
As
she
had
feared
,
the
hard
black
-
and
-
white
daylight
coming
through
the
broken
wall
showed
her
that
Howl
had
not
bothered
to
shave
or
tidy
his
hair
.
His
eyes
were
still
red
-
rimmed
and
his
black
sleeves
were
torn
in
several
places
.
There
was
not
much
to
choose
between
Howl
and
the
scarecrow
.
Oh
,
dear
!
Sophie
thought
.
He
must
love
Miss
Angorian
very
much
.
I
came
for
Miss
Angorian
,
she
explained
.

And
I
thought
if
I
arranged
for
your
family
to
visit
you
,
it
would
keep
you
quiet
for
once
!
Howl
said
disgustedly
.
But
no
Here
the
scarecrow
hopped
in
front
of
Sophie
.
I
was
sent
by
Wizard
Suliman
,
it
said
in
its
mushy
voice
.
I
was
guarding
his
bushes
in
the
Waste
when
the
Witch
caught
him
.
He
cast
all
of
his
magic
that
he
could
spare
on
me
,
and
ordered
me
to
come
to
his
rescue
.
But
the
Witch
had
taken
him
to
pieces
by
then
and
the
pieces
were
in
various
places
.
It
has
been
a
hard
task
.
If
you
had
not
come
and
talked
me
to
life
again
,
I
would
have
failed
.
It
was
answering
the
questions
Sophie
had
asked
it
before
they
both
rushed
off
.
