First off I am so sorry for leaving this for over a month. My game had been crashing a lot recently, so I haven't really been playing all that much. It seems to be working properly now, so fingers crossed that I'll be able to play for longer stretches.
Some Tales of Faerie - When Will My Life Begin?
The next week when Cara was on her way to see Erik, the witch ambushed her right outside the door.Willow was furious. She yelled at the hapless girl, calling her a thief, and saying that whatever she had found was hers and to leave immediately. This only made the other woman angrier. She Called the witch crazy, and that you couldn't own a human being.
That was the last straw for Willow. She summoned her magic at the now terrified Cara.
"You will pay for what you have said, foolish girl!"
And with a zap of green Magic,
Cara was now part toad.
Upset and confused she left the place, ashamed of how she now looked, (or for the most part, the fact that no one recognized her) she hid.
Poor Erik waited into the night for his friend. But she never came. He was saddened that she never showed up, and that he was back at square one. Nobody to talk to except Christine.
He still cared for his scaly friend, but he missed having a human companion. Willow was rarely home, so he busied himself with cleaning,
Practicing all sorts of instruments,
and reading, something he hadn't done since he was a child.
And so his teenage days went. He missed Cara deeply, and sometimes wondered what happened to her, but mostly he wondered when his life would start. Something greater then being in his tower was out there waiting for him, he knew it. He just had to find it.
Just as Summer turns to fall, his teenage years slipped away, and soon he was on the doorstep of being a young adult.
On such a momentous occasion, Willow showed up to celebrate with him. Scaring the living daylight out of Erik in the process.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" He inquired after he had recovered.
"Spending time with you. It is your Birthday after all." was her reply.
"But you haven't celebrated with me since I was a child mother. I find that hard to believe."
"Today is special."
and that was the end of the brief conversation.
So he became a young adult. And one thing was on his mind at this point. He would find Cara if it took him to the end of time.
