Same Old Sky | Chapter Twenty

The dove and the message waited while Heodwyn taught me so many things I thought my head would burst.

She also let me take home the book I had been reading, and by the time I got home it was pitch black, and surprisingly I still wasn't hungry from lunch.

I thought about writing a letter to Trisha but couldn't make myself, so I went to bed without changing or writing or.. anything.

I woke up several hours later from a dream about my thoughts earlier that day, and rolled over to find a warm silver cat sleeping next to me.

Fairly young, with a bow around its neck and a note by its nose saying 'For Erulastial'

I finished the book of medicine from Heodwyn by slivers of moonlight at the windowsill and then went back to bed.

When I woke up the Next morning I was ready for anything.

Pulling on black leggings and a golden tunic, my dove pendant, and braiding my hair, sliding on boots, washing my face, and petting the cat, (who surprisingly liked the dove)I was about to leave when I heard a crash, and looked over to survey this scene :

The cat had just pounced on my beauitful pile of books, causing paper, dust and ink to fly everywhere. The dove was preening its feathers on the windowsill.

Immedietly I had names for my two pets : Peace and Chaos.
