Seillam stood for a moment gazing at the soft glow Rosalie-Skye gave off until it disappeared then turned and began walking back to the school, answering Byron on his way.
"Hey Byron, I was just held up" Seillam said as he stepped around a tree root.
"By what?" his friend inquired.
"A little fairy" Seillam answered calmly. He heard Byron snort on the other end of the receiver. "I'm serious, she wrapped vines around my arms and legs so I couldn't move and told me off about taking plants from the garden."
After a moment Byron responded, "A little fairy held you captive and lectured you about plants." Seillam could hear the laugh in his voice, like he didn't believe it, and shook his head. "Correct, you can laugh at my little meeting when I get back, right now I think I have something following me." Seillam glanced over his shoulder at the leaves rustling and quickened his pace, turning off the receiver and wishing he could actually see what it was that lurked in the foliage.
