Chapter Twenty-Two: Story Time

[The alarm went off, it was 6 AM. Jason and Tess were ready to get to work around the farm. They had 51 starting actions]

[Obadiah’s Almanac: 15th day of Winter! 76 days until the Winter Festival! It’s cold and frozen, folks, but that should be about it! Expect high winds starting tomorrow, followed by a dip in temperatures and a major storm in probably two weeks’ time. Until then, just stay warm and cozy, and take advantage of the calm to get outside and get work done!]

As Jason slowly rose, he found Tess missing, which he thought was rather unusual. She had started to sleep in a bit more than usual through the winter, due largely to the somewhat less urgent nature of things. He yawned and stretched, then rose and walked to the wardrobe. He changed into a warm tunic, then went out and down the stairs, where Tess was snuggling the two girls in the living room. They were reading a story by the fire, and Rachel scooted aside to allow Jason to sit down next to Tess as she finished up.

“And then the giant was slain and thrown into the ocean! His skull became a new island, which can still be seen today. The end!”

Jason smiled at them. “Early morning story time is the best, isn’t it?”

“This isn’t story time! This is school!” Fern grinned. “This is the history of Illumitir!”

She jumped down and raced away, and Rachel followed.

“Food!”

Jason chuckled as he slowly stood up. “I have to admit, I’ve not heard that particular history before.”

Tess shrugged. She handed the book to Jason. “This particular series of books covers bits and pieces of history that aren’t usually covered in schools.”

“Well, it certainly looks good enough to me.” Jason shrugged. He passed it back and grinned. “Have fun with it!”

“I will.” Tess tossed the book onto a pile at the end of the couch, then started wandering toward the kitchen. “I… do have somewhat of an odd question, though.”

“Shoot.” Jason entered the kitchen, where a handful of plates had already been set out. They were piled high with biscuits, while a bowl of gravy sat at the center of the table. They all sat down and tucked in. “What’s up?”

“It’s actually about my cattle.” Tess apologized. “I’m afraid that these might be suffering from the fungi, too.”

Jason scowled. “What does that mean?”

“It just means we need to treat it all again.” Tess answered. “I got a letter from Milligan, he’s coming down in an hour or so to help, once he finishes up with some project or another in the greenhouse. Richard is coming up from the Lazy-H Ranch, too, and I think he’s bringing Weatherhand.”

Jason stroked his chin. “Does Richard have it?”

“Another mild case, but yes.” Tess answered. “We still don’t know what’s causing it or anything, but at this point, we can only assume that the herd out west must have contracted it somehow.”

“Interesting.” Jason crossed his arms as he continued to eat. “It’s just such a strange sort of disease.
