As the dark gave way to the light and the sun rose above the tallest trees of Thistlewick forest, I opened my eyes to see an exhausted Jestin slumped into the chair next to my bed. His head titled in my direction, his eyes closed fast in the sleep he had missed whilst watching over me during the night. I covered him with my silk sheets and headed out to breakfast.
Every meal the Banshees ate they shared. The whole community sat around a huge table to eat the meals prepared by the males. Someone had decorated the table beautifully with the fresh cut marsh blooms. The food served consisted of wonderful concoctions of exotic looking fruits and huge vats of something very similar to porridge only slightly sweeter.
I was a hunter, stalking my quarry at the end of the huge wooden breakfast table, central in the dining hall of the Banshees’ banquet room. I knew my prey would be at the quiet end of the table, loitering in the shadows, attempting to avoid detection by the other breakfasters. I approached, anxious to get the answers I wanted, eager to do whatever it took. I needed to become the lion hearted girl. The girl who didn’t need a protector. The girl who could save her friend from a misguided love that was going to destroy her. I needed to allow Jestin to break free of our bond and become himself again. I took my place in the chair next to Merl, who had seen my approach and was now snoring loudly pretending to be asleep.
“I know you enjoy your peace and I will be out of your beard as soon as I can.” I whispered. Merl opened one eye, betraying his pretence of sleep. I continued encouraged.
“You said I was descended from you, that I was the first in the bloodline since your daughters to be born with magical blood.” Merl opened his other eye, his interest sparked by the current line of conversation.
“Indeed,” he smiled.
“I want you to teach me magic. I want to learn to use the forces of nature the way that you do.” I had the power to ask but ultimately it was Merl’s decision. A look of pride ignited the withered features of his face, making him appear younger than mere moments ago.
“We will begin your training in the courtyard this afternoon. We have two days to practice before our next journey.” He answered excitedly.
