Kratch- Disintegration

It began as it had last time. For a moment Kratch was visible as a giant catlike beast—a fearsome distortion of the ginger tomcat sometimes glimpsed in the kitchen at Chipenden. Then it morphed into a spiral of orange fire and whirled toward the nearest of the witches. She disintegrated in an explosion of flesh and blood. Tiny fragments of bone fell from the air like hail, but rather than melting on contact with the rock, they hissed like hot cinders falling into water.
