Shelly didn't know what to make of that information, but she had a feeling that she understood. “And you...are the witch?”
“Right, my dear,” the Kuhna said, smiling sadly. “And you are my one and only visitor...until one hundred more years roll around, and another lucky soul ventures into my lands.” She turned, trotting back to the fireplace, and this time, Shelly knew she did see the fire smile at her. It winked, too! “Now, I have a gift for you. I have plenty of things for sale, but what will I do with the money, after all?” She indicated the glowing jars that set off to one side, stacked neatly on shelves lining the walls. As Shelly watched the other kuhan reached a paw into the fire, seemingly oblivious to the heat of the flames. But her fur wasn't even scorched, even when she withdrew a pendant or shimmering blue. She turned, presenting the little jewel to Shelly, who looked it over in awe. “This is for you, my dear. I wasn't lying when I said you were special; I can see it and I can feel it. And I have a feeling that perhaps you, of all the others, might be the only one who can help us. It will be up to you to break our curse. Set us free...”
Shelly opened her mouth to protest, but whens he looked back up, the witch was gone. As was the cottage, the lake and the forest. She gave a start, and as soon as she did, she woke up beside the road leading to the main town, her satchel of groceries beside her. Was that...a dream? Confused, Shelly looked around. She seemed to be back near her home, and all would have appeared normal if not for the bulging sack of groceries she knew she hadn't bought yet, and the little pendant clutched tightly in her paws. “Maybe...it wasn't a dream,” she whispered.
As she stood up, she could swear she heard a voice on the wind, quietly singing to itself and following her as she turned to go home.

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!
A great adventure! +Imp. Documents+ +Menagerie+ +Wishlist+ +Journal+
