Wizard's Apprentice

Part 1

"Yeah. It just took a little while...heh..heh..." I chuckle slightly. 

He nodded and got her a bowl of soup.

I went and sat at the table.

After he got his bowl, he sat down on the opposite side and ate quietly.

I had mine already. I eat quietly as well. 

Once finished he cleaned the dishes and put them away. "Do you remember how you preformed that spell tonight?"

"...I think so" I say. " D..do want me to study tonight?"

He thinks a minute. "There's no really need unless you wish to otherwise you are free for the night."

"R..really? Thank you sir." I smile. I have my hood down at the moment

"Well I'd say you've earned it for tonight." He told her. "But no slacking off tomorrow."

"Y..yes sir. Thank you." I say, finished with my bowl.

I head over to the room I stay in my room.

He heads to his own quarters, eager to relax after a long day.

I close my door and pack up a satchel. I wanted to go out for a little...grant it, it was night but I would be fine. I put a dagger in my sheath, strapped just below my hip/on my leg. I put my hood up. I pack a magic book to study. I sneak out of my room and down the steps.

He didn't notice you were gone till late that night. He went to your room to check on you only to find the room empty. "Samantha!"

I was sitting in a tree, singing quietly to myself. I am sitting on a branch, leaning my back against the trunk. All while studying the magic book.

???: You didn't notice a pair of tiny eyes watching you till they made themselves known. A little pixie flew in front of you, with her calm attitude and the dim light she looked like a harmless fairy. "Hello~ I didn't know this tree grew people." She joked.

"Woah!" I say, so startled that I fall back. ...but luckily I bend my knees and I am just hanging upside down. My satchel, book and glasses fall down. Luckily my glasses landed on my satchel. I look around, I was near sighted. "Heh...hi...um yeah...I was just relaxing...I thought i was alone." I say, putting my hands down and my legs unbend. I land in a squatted position before standing up and brushing myself off. I pick up my stuff and put my glasses on. I fix my hood.

???: "Whoops, sorry about that." She said in a tiny shrill voice. "I was passing by and saw you all on your own."

"Its fine. And I'm fine. I'm just studying and enjoying my relaxing break from doing work....wait a sec... what time is it?" I ask, worried if he had noticed I wasn't there and started worrying about me...

???: "You relax by studying?" The fae giggled. "I don't know I'm not a watch, but hey I know where one is. There's a party not far from here, you should come."

"No....but I need to keep training..... 

A p..party?...I..I'm not sure..I..I'm n..not usually invited the parties..."

???: "What, I do believe that. Come on it will be a blast, not too big a crowd so just right for a first party." She tried to entice her.

"I..I guess I could go for a few minutes..." I say, putting my book in my satchel. "b..but is it a fairy size only party?..."

???: "That a girl! Well...there's smaller fae there, so it might be best I shrink you down so no one gets hurt." She stated. 

"Okay...that makes sense then.." I say. "Oh...um...whats your name?" I ask.

"I'll do it when we get closer. My names Chamomile, and you?"

"I'm Samantha" I say with a small smile. I put my hood down, showing my face."is the party close?"

"Yeah it's just over there." She pointed to a small grove of trees.

"Okay then I'll follow you." I say waiting 

She leads you close to the bush and stops. "K I'm going to shrink you now so this will tickle a bit." She says before dusting you with a bit of pixie powder.

"Okay. I'll try not to laugh." I chuckle. I wait patiently.

Within seconds your the size of a pixie. "Well come on then." She pulls you inside, already others are dancing merrily to the enchanting music.

"Wo-ahkay..!" I say as I'm pulled in. I smile and begin to dance.

She giggled and danced next to you, the music taking over those who heard it and surrendered to it. Thus was the effect of the fairy ring.

I unintentionally began to sing....after a minute or two I realize I was singing. I stop singing and dancing. "s..sorry..about that. I...I know I'm not that good....." I say with a sigh

"Oh no you're wonderful, keep going. Please." She and the others encouraged.

However a small tremor began to shake the group beneath them.

"Y..you really think so?" I ask with a small, shy smile.

I open my mouth to begin singing again.... but I stop, feeling the slight tremors. "Wait a sec...did you feel that?.."

"Yep." She smiles assuringly "F-feel what? Well go on and sing, pretty please."

they happen again only stronger.

"I..i feel tremors..." I say, glancing around. When it comes back stronger, I wobble.. "woah!....I dont like the look of this...I have a bad feeling...." I say. I put my hood up.

"Samantha!!" A familiar, gruff voice yells out just and the tremors become more frequent.

My eyes widen. "oh....crap......." I say
