I was walking in the magic forest when suddenly I spied a483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcWJ2p7kwg
domovoy! He was sitting at the base of a tree, hidden by a shade from the harsh483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFihuYwEhF
sunlight. Even though I was still further away, I could see that he was sad,483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjC87b1PeD
his head was hanging down as if his neck refused to support it and his483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBGlSm4Ugr
shoulders slouched in defeat.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcBSQQ80xS
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3lf3KgwdS
I though about walking up to him, to try and speak with him,483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU4R1ic3B4
but decided not to. Grandma always used to say that you should not interfere483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecBawNNpiz
with ghosts, unless you wanted to be spirited away.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfi4TtWWg1
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAwmNvv8td
I turned around and am about to backtrack when suddenly. “Who483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yg05FGVxu
goes there?” An elderly voice rang out. I slowly looked back and saw the483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8X75R69Jx
domovoy’s eyes staring straight into mine. “Well, since you’re here. Join me,483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJrV50r0ED
young one.”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ15kH77Pg
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gWHYvHWNz
I debated running away, but decided against it. I slowly walked483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXssgI1DAfs
up to the spirit and sat down infront of it. We stared at each other in483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8dvKIFfrR
silence, until I couldn’t take it anymore. “Why..why are you here?”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRtckVW9bD
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBd2yDNcqs
“I’m resting.” Came the answer, I waited to see if he would say483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fGIhBy5kh
more, but nothing came.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxFeeRJ5on
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fxYSwm28
“Why aren’t you protecting your household?” I jumped away483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdzdo0gTSD
from the gaze the domovoy gave me. Pure anger, but also sadness. I was preparing483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvGxb1u35p
to run and pray for my life. But the anger melts away, leaving only sadness in483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aqiU96KFk
its wake.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjOgZrmDm1
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1gXlUBNO9
“My kin does not have need of me anymore.” Comes the rumbling answer.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmOQCTgxPG
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡismHDt47qH
I sat in silence as the domovoy played with its long, white,483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrIDBx4RYm
moustache. I was scared to ask further questions, but my curiosity got the483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0inrOoM2St
better of me. “Why not?”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNDNjyamyE
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpr9vY3odS
The domovoy looked at me, not with anger this time, but483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYak1Ca5JE
annoyance. “Young ones, no respect for privacy.” He huffed. He seemed to be483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRu7jtlux9
deep in though but finally he stood up. “Follow me.”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N4c2zLo1j
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClqvQWEDz4
So I did, we walked through the magical forest. Passing483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR4R4AZfo5
three tailed foxes and upright walking bears as well as other spirits, pixies,483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUluaXkbBL
fairies, gnomes. Finally, after what felt like hours, we left the forest and483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1F2800uGb
reached an abandoned building.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iaTMri8ev
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuUrUArufm
“This homestead used to belong to my kin. But they left.” The483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mx2A66OoB
domovoy trailed off, his eyes glazed.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4FdpFVG1S
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mcvO2y0nf
“Why didn’t you follow them?” I asked, breaking the spirits483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAEeLKBRQ7
concentration.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli8JAOrnLA
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpzPM0Oua9
“I could not.” He answered. Angrily at first, but managed to483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaF1Bk38ql
get his temper under control. “I was not invited, to either come with them or483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVS7wGstDe
join them in their new household. “ Then sadly. “I’m alone, without a home,483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxQtRSq7Lc
destined to wander, until I disappear.”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksDMhuLYlJ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBiImAsMig
“Why not find a new family.” I asked before thinking.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zTLXpBeL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Sk9kGA6O
“Are you mad? That would be betraying my kin!” The spirit shouted.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqMzICIFRm
“No, tis my destiny and I shall accept it.”483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsrDAeiLL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ3QsUtmbR
The domovoy calmed down. “Thank you for listening young one.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM7KPakcKo
It helped me…think through things. I think I’m ready now.” 483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvj3Hqng6i
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo5kERuLR8
The spirit began walking away from me, fading into the483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxsKz1PGSq
forest. “May your ancestors smile on you young one and may you always be483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl99JksBJQ
protected from unworthy wrath.” With those parting words the domovoy complete disappeared.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQNN9HBzU
