"Hey, you think she will be ok?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94gn8A9G6z
"Of course, she fainted from exhaustion; that is all. Once she's awake, a bit of tea and some bickies will bring her back on her feet."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZzaNrn8O
"I know you are no doctor but how do you know all this?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68bkNLGlw
The woman cleared her throat. "Close relative of a doctor, please; hence it runs in the family."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJwWuVjspa
The nasal-croaking voice chuckled. "But not talking to crows."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZCFlmnlVe
She scoffed. "Yer one to talk."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3u2FJyqy
"Oh! I think she's waking up!" Wings and feathers flapped through the air.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGomCoY6KJ
Slowly I managed to open my eyes. Found myself staring up at a wooden ceiling, carved with spiraling ornaments. Soon I blinked and dared to look at my surroundings. A young woman sat by the table with cups of steaming tea. Her attire looked normal with a purple hoodie and dark acid-washed skinny jeans. When I spotted her multiple bracelets and a crow perching on her shoulder, I realized she was other than normal.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvqNIgrKec
"Hi, hope yer feeling better? You fainted while trying to help me defeat a bosogus. Their tentacles can shoot electricity and drain one's energy to their advantage, but I have heard they can also give. But that is a rarity. As a thank you for trying to help me, this is the least I can do."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J4TCbxHmB
"Who-who are you?" I wondered with a raspy voice while slowly sitting up from the bed. A head ache began to sting on the sides and back, and I felt my mouth was dry.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunfImztcHr
"Oh, a thousand pardons, my name is Siobhan, and this is my familiar Twigg."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSLwIF3jD7
Twigg bobbed his head to the side, eyeing me curiously.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2TwYCUmDV
"Here, drink this tea. It will soothe the head ache and help you regain yer strength faster." Siobhan handed me with a warming smile a cup and saucer with steaming black tea. Its fruity and floral scent made my mouth water, and the cup's warmth was a comfort within my hands as I took it. I took a sip. The tea tastes exactly as it smells; this could be the best tea I've ever had.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUkrraHBfc
"You like it?" She wondered, tilting her head to one side.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj631YYb6d
I nodded, "it's delicious."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlPe8MKyr1
Siobhan giggled. "You heard that Twigg, she likes yer tea."
I blinked to her remark.
"It's one of Twigg's mysterious tea blends. He knows his way brilliantly with plants and herbs; hence I let him do the tea blends and certain medicines." Siobhan passed me a small plate of biscuits. "Eat them up if you want to regain yer strength."
Rapidly Twigg hopped down Siobhan's arm that held the plate to me and picked a biscuit. "Hey! Manners Twigg! We've got guest."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0qrFnh3gD
Twigg croaked, "Sorry, old force of habit." And flew off to the table to peck on the biscuit.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrE500ioJZ
I slowly nibbled on a biscuit while watching attentively how Twigg ate.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioO1tpodM9
"What's yer name? Do you have a familiar?" Asked Siobhan after a while.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo2P8hNBWP
"What?" I blinked and stared at her. "Oh, I'm Reelah and no, I don't have a familiar. What are they for? To have a closer connection to magic of sorts?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7HCSwOZZz
Siobhan stared at me wide-eyed for a long moment. "Hold it, yer not a caster?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqPMCnLltZ
"What's a caster?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTsiXk97yO
"Oh, you human sorts call it witches, warlocks, wizards and what not." Siobhan bites her lower lip before continuing. "You sure yer not a caster like me?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9vmXB6Am3
I slowly shook my head.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPZXOLFtc7
She sighs, "huh, strange. I could have sworn from yer aura you have magic, and a bosogus can only be seen by people with magic. Did-did maybe someone in yer family like to turn to nature and lived sort of free like I do?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGzaChNDXD
"Well, now that you mention, my grandmother was very connected to nature before she passed away. She had to the end an old tortoise."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeild4er2XG
"Yes, that would fit." Siobhan smiled. "Magic is sometimes funny and can skip generations, appear very early or late, you name it. Unpredictable as always but surely for a good reason." She winks. "Take yer time with the tea and bickies. Once you feel better, I'll bring ya back home."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF6UXJTjQ5
