She couldn’t sleep…which wasn’t unusual. Some nights her whirling thoughts kept her buzzing till dawn. Her mind was still reeling from her panic attack earlier and the conversation with Bas that had followed. Too much excitement for one day.

Rather than lying in bed all night dwelling on things, Mina decided it was better to get some work done in the sanctuary. She’d been planning the heating system for months now and was pretty sure she had the material and the spells to get it going. If she could get the humidity up just right, she could introduce the other animals in there sooner.

It meant using some dark spells, of course—nothing too nefarious but definitely dark and definitely not something she wanted to work on with Bas around. He’d know after the fact, but she could take his snide comments once it was done, she didn’t want it compromising her concentration if he was hovering over her while she was attempting to do it.

She slipped on a pair of loose fitting shorts and a tank top, clipped her hair up at the sides and went about gathering her tools and equipment. She needed her mother’s grimoire for this one.

White Willow was so quiet at this time of night…even in the Dungeon, she still felt the lull of peace in the entire building. The constant buzz of magic faded to almost nothing. Even the Circle of One was on low vibration. It was past the witching hour, all the familiars were asleep in their cages, except for the cats, which she’d decided to leave in the sanctuary. They were healthy and happy, no sense in moving them back to their cages at this stage.

She moved to the double doors of the workroom and swung them open, getting a good breeze sweeping through. It was warm out, the moon high. She closed her eyes and soaked everything in. Maybe she could set up a hammock and let the night sounds lull her to sleep.

A shrieking noise startled her back to awareness, her eyes snapped open. The Dark Forest always looked menacing but it was far worse at night. The predators were out, hunting familiars and other magical creatures. They didn’t often venture beyond the perimeter of the forest but it was threat enough to keep her from ever sleeping outside. She sighed, wrapped her arms around herself then went back inside, bringing the doors to a close with a wave of her hand.

She moved to the shelf that housed her mother’s grimoire. As a human witch, her grimoire was filled with folk magic and spells that sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. While Bas had an unfair prejudice about human witches and their use of magic, he wasn’t wrong about his assessment of how they used the stuff. Humans were at times so desperate for power that they mixed and mingled different magics that really had no business melding together. Sometimes that unification, that willingness to experiment, resulted in great and powerful things. Other times it led to curses going astray and the death of innocents.
