It was about a week later before anything interesting happened again. It was the middle of the day and Azmaveth had sent me out to get some herbs for a potion for him.

I was walking around in the forest, thinking it was pretty odd that Tuggles hadn’t appeared by my side yet. Usually the second I entered the forest Tuggles was with me.

I reached the meadow and picked the herbs, setting them in my wicker basket. I rose to leave when I heard a loud, angry voice. Still not learning my lesson from Trila, the miniskirt spy, I decided to investigate.

As I neared the voice I was able to tell that it was a very angry Kohath. I scowled when I found him. He was kneeling on the ground, holding on to Tuggles by the tiny unicorn’s mane while bellowing in his face. “What do you think your doing over here?” Kohath yelled, unaware of my presence. “Do you have any idea about how much trouble you’ve caused?”

“Excuse me,” I said, my eyes narrowed into slits. Kohath’s head snapped up.

“What?” he growled.

“Why are you yelling at Tuggles?” I said, patting the side of my leg to call the small unicorn. Tuggles responded by struggling out of Kohath’s hands and trotting over to me on his short, stubby legs. He huffed and snorted as he rubbed against me. I bent over and cuddled the tiny unicorn.

“Tuggles?” Kohath asked, his eyes raging with irritation as he watched us. “Tuggles,” I firmly replied.

“That unicorn which you have named ‘Tuggles’ is the root of our problem. He is the Keeper who has been irresponsible and absent from his duties, causing mass chaos in the Endless Forest,” he spat as Tuggles snorted at him.

I cupped Tuggles gray velveteen muzzle in one hand. “Is this true?” I asked. Tuggles snorted and avoided my gaze before stomping a glossy hoof. “Why would he do that to begin with? I asked as Tuggles rubbed his small head against my arm.

Kohath stood and stalked over to the spot were I was sitting. “Perhaps it was because of you.”

“Me?”

“Yes, I’ve never seen the Keeper so… affectionate before,” he said as he knelt beside me. “Usually he deviously plots and makes a great pest of himself. How he can handle that in his tiny form even I can only guess.”

Tuggles scowled at him and pushed against my side. “Exactly what does he do?” I asked as I pet one of his smooth ears.

“He’s the most powerful animal in all of the Endless Forest. He knows everything that happens in the forest and protects it from any enemy, like the valkyrie,” Kohath said. “That’s probably why no animal has hurt you. Since he obviously favors you, you are safe wherever you go. In the forest at least,” Kohath amended, cooling down as he watched Tuggles sniff the air.

“So that’s why the griffon didn’t mind me taking his feathers,” I said, thinking back to the giant night griffon.

“You already knew him then?”

“Yes, I met him that day.
