You have to come quickly! I have found something in the yard and I just know it is a fragment!”Drawing a sharp intake of breath, Aunt Nadiira snapped at her, “Gaisma, I have told you repeatedly not to interrupt me while I am working. You are lucky this one does not require much focus. I do not have time to play a game of hunt the Luxon fragments with you.”“But this is not a game, I swear it really is one this time!” Gaisma pulled at her aunt’s sleeve trying to get her to follow.Aunt Nadiira shook off her tiny hand, “I have to start the spell that you just interrupted again, I cannot just stop and go look at every shiny thing you find. Your parents cannot get here soon enough. You have been a handful this time.”Heartbroken that her favorite person in the world would not even come look at what she found, Gaisma headed back outside and found a small shovel near her aunt’s garden. Auntie Nadiira may not want to help, but Gaisma was a big girl now and could do it herself!It took her what felt like hours to dig the shiny stone out of the ground, but as she freed it from its resting place, Gaisma found that her aunt was correct. This stone definitely was not a piece of the fragment, but one day her eye for shining items would lead her to be successful on her hunt. Until then, she would just have to settle with washing off this beautiful crystalline rock and sharing it with Auntie Nadiira.Gaisma carried the dripping wet stone carefully in front of her stomach. Her arms were tiring by the time she made it through the house and back to her aunt’s workshop. Not wanting to get yelled at again, she stopped short of the door and peeked her head around the door frame and made sure her aunt was not busy with a spell. She spotted Aunt Nadiira standing over her spellbook in the far corner from her desk. Feeling confident she was not interrupting again, Gaisma headed in.“You were right, Aunt Nadiira, it is not a fragment, but it is a really pretty rock.” Gaisma hoisted the large stone up onto her aunt’s worktable, and then it rolled. Not tall enough to stop it from happening, all Gaisma could do was stand there and watch as the water that was on the rock blurred the ink on the spell page that was laying on the table and as it continued it bumped into two of the large bowls before coming to a rest. Crack!Gaisma turned wide eyed to look at her aunt as a mist started to fill the area where the liquids of the two bowls met.“Gaisma! What have you done?” shouted Aunt Nadiira running across the room grabbing a big swath of cloth as she came. “I should have never allowed your parents to drop you off this week. I had too much work to do, and you have just set me back weeks’ worth of research. “The edges of her vision started to fade as her aunt frantically tried to clean the mixed components. “I am sorry,” whispered Gaisma as she slipped into unconsciousness.And her ex home workGaisma sat on the fallen tree and watched the rest of the circle of druids dance to the sound of the satyr’s pipes. Pixies flitted around the campfire casting fly on the littlest of the members of the families. The kids giggled and took off flying after each other over the tree tops. Their parents did not even give pause to their revelry to act concerned. They would be back before long.Smiling and laughing as he approached, Brin Tobatros stopped in front of her and offered his hand, “Join us, darling.”She had been with the circle for months now, but she still did not feel comfortable joining in with the nightly revelry with the fey creatures. She had been raised not to trust the creatures from the feywild, and learning to get over that distrust was one of her biggest hurdles within the circle at this point. “Not tonight.”Brin slid onto the open spot next to her on the tree and brushed her pale white hair behind her ear. “You know when we get married that the fey creatures will be there to give their blessings to the joining. You really need to get to know some of them or we will be poorly blessed.”Gaisma called out into the darkness, “Hundil!” It only took a second before a dog blinked into existence in front of the couple, “I know and trust Hundil. That counts right?” she asked while running her hands over their blink dog that had been out on patrol for the night. Speaking in broken Sylvan to Hundil, “I hope you have a good patrol tonight. I am sure you will get that displacer beast this time.”Hundil let out a low growl in response. “Did you have to remind him of the one that got away last night?” sighed the sprite that had been invisible on the dog’s back until now. “Now he’s not going to stop until he tracks that beast down.” Then the pair blinked away.“I mean, I guess it is a start, but he does not have the widest vocabulary for blessing the marriage. I do not think his rider likes you summoning him while he is supposed to be on patrol.”Chuckling at the thought of their blink dog trying to give a speech, Gaisma stood up. “So which one is the shyest of them? Maybe I could get to know a quieter one.”Brin introduced her to Zheza, the oldest of the satyrs. “Greetings, Elder Zheza. I would like to introduce you to my future life partner, Gaisma Lacis.”Gaisma smiled shyly and sat next to the elder, “A pleasure to meet you.”Gaisma crawled into their shared tent in the wee hours of the night. Sleepily from his bedroll, “How was talking to Elder Zheza?”“She was amazing. I could have talked for hours more, but she was losing energy and had to go rest.”“That is good to hear,” he mumbled rolling back over.“Hey, Brin?” “Yes, darling?” “I am ready to officially join the circle.”</blockquote>
