As Kadyn shouted a woman walking with an elderly man
stepped right in front of him.  

"Please!" the lady scolded as she glared at Kadyn. 
The shock had startled her.  The lady had very long
straight black hair, was wearing a yellow hooded
cloak, and was carrying what looked like a large glass
ball.  The old man had long curly gray hair, clean
shaven, and wearing a purple ruffled cloak tied with a
red cape.

She stood there glaring at Kadyn as if to ensure that
it would stick forever in his mind before she moved
on.  As she was walking away he could hear her talking
to the old man:  "I told you I had a bad feeling.  I
had a dream that this happened.  It was caused by a
visitor 
."  Her voice trailed away.
