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?
