Ready for the new chapter?
Septimus
Agorius
The
two days were over and Gabrielle was full to the brim of questions to
ask: “What am I, how do I control it”, and so many more
questions. She waited until it was afternoon, and then put the plan
into effect.
“Mum,
I'm going to the village to pick up some grain, we're running low!”
Gabrielle yells, ready to get the move on. The day before Gabrielle
took the grain they had, which was full to the brim, to the farmer
nearby and gave it all to him.
“I
just got a new bag the other day!” Adel says bewildered on how it
could be gone so quickly.
“Well
the rats must of got to it, because there's no more.” Gabrielle
says matter of factly.
“OK,
but be quick.” Adel says, too tired to even care what the wretched
child does. Gabrielle practically sprints out the door, running
towards the trail to the pond. Once she gets there she slows down
her pace and starts walking along the trail looking carefully for
overturned rocks, or anything suggesting recent human activity. When
she's close to the pond,she veres off the trail to her right. She
starts to wonder if Septimus was even there. He could of left ages
ago. Right when she thinks that last thought she smells a little
campfire not too far north. She quickens her pace. Within ten
minutes she sees it. A little log house that looks like the only
thing keeping it standing is the magic happening all around it. She
walks toward the little house and says
“Septimus?”
“Yes,
this is Septimus, may I ask who this person is before I say anymore?”
a gruph voice says back in reply.
“It's
Gabrielle, daughter of Duron.” Septimus comes out of his house as
quick as lightening at the sound of Duron's name.
“The
daughter of Duron? Well, that scoundrel has a daughter, what do you
know?
