Jerome,
Apparently that foul, malodourous creature in the hood is the HOPE of Black Knight's trial story...where he tells of her demise and his subsequent arrival in StormCloud's life.
I feel the need to hurl things at her, myself... grrrrr!
We await the explanation in the next installment...otherwise, I fry the fiendish ghoul where she stands...(said the StormQueen, ever so sweetly).
