Strange Companions XXXIII
Panting, legs burning, feet weary, you stop in the forest outcropping near your farm, furtively glancing around you for any sign of followers. Cecil pulls his staff from underneath his cloak and as he strikes the ground you hear his voice utter something unintelligible and the peculiar gem lights the area, a pulsating glow that casts away shadows.
“We are safe for the moment, but I fear the citizens of the town may be too far under Ric’s influence that they might come for us any moment. We need to get Beatrix some healing, and we need a safe place to gather our thoughts and move forward.”
Buddy spins around, sword pointed at Cecil, “You are not our friend, you wiped our memories! Very un-friend-like. Why should we trust you?”
Cecil, ignoring Buddy's aggressive stance gives a weary sigh, “You’re right Buddy, I’ve made some mistakes, and I'm sorry for that. Right now, you and I are the only ones who can save the Golden Leaf, so you’re just going to have to trust in me for now. All will become clear in due time.”
Buddy nods thoughtfully, “You sound like Star, but less confusing silly words, still mysterious though. Like I always say, 'Better to have too many friends than too few.'" Buddy pauses and gives you a look, "Guess we'll have to trust Cecil for now. And the best place for friends and trust is my house."
Cecil nods to you and Buddy. “Well, we could walk there, or there are…faster ways. Got any gold feathers?”
Wizards. Wizards never change, it seems.
