"Yeah, that's..." she swallows, her voice quiet. "That's what happened." A pause, as she collects herself again. "In the three years since then I've been gathering up all the Slayers. Dividing them into squads around the world - Scotland squad are mine. Hence the castle. It's kind of like old times, except now the battles are bigger."
She takes a breath, wondering how to explain the rest. "What I just found out is that these powers - before we didn't know where they were coming from, they just manifested magically - they're coming from other Slayers. Other dead Slayers. Every time a girl dies I get stronger. And I don't know why."
