Dozing in and out of consciousness in the shade, near the trickling remnants of the Summer devoured brook, Duir and I are suddenly awoken by the caterwauling wail of some rude devil. Blinking angrily at the tree line, I mutter ruthless phrases beneath my breath as I nudge my still trying to snooze buck on the shoulder. Without waiting for him, I carry on, out into the wood.

"Let’s go see what’s died," I grumpily snort, the young buck glancing at me with curious wonder, as to why we’d want to see dead things, before bounding after me.

The path, short, reveals a peculiar cat like creature lounging in the branches. Fond of cats, I take the time to look upon its markings and sleek figure, the prowess of a hunter etched into its figure, but I also haven’t forgotten being rudely awoken. Others have arrived to look upon the oddly flitting and flickering magical beast, as well, meaning this beast, as annoying as it was, probably had something I wouldn’t mind having, too. Every time before that I’d come upon such a setting, someone had left with a boon.

I look at the buck alongside me, and smile, despite my sleepiness. This weird cat is definitely not magical lights, but maybe I’ll be lucky again all the same!

Sure enough, the wicked little thing straight up asks us what we would want.

That’s different, I think, listening to what the others say with only moderate curiosity. When Angry Lady pipes up, I look over at her cautiously; I’m glad she’s pretty far away from me when it becomes my turn to speak.

Her, and a male who spoke up before her, both want the most flowery trinkets a moron could ask for. And what do I want? The same thing as always…more power. Though, for a brief moment, the image of my friends and family, happy in the Basin, threatens to override my more usual requests.

"I wish to be stronger," I answer, the cold, smooth pressure of my mirror shifting weight in the tangled masses of my mane (where it’s been snared for some months) reminding me of another request, "or perhaps learn the magical value of the few trinkets I’ve found in my time here."

Or lack there of.
