Geist had told him it was a bad idea… But Seth just really wanted to do it nonetheless. He had heard about her, the cold witch hidden away near the Moonrest. She was said to not like any other fawnlings, but she was also the best at her craft. The air around Seth started to grow colder, Shivers ran down his spine and he could see his breath turning to mist in the cold air. Bells his fruit bat came to fly closer to him. He could feel her nerves as she fluttered around his head ‘It is okay Bells, she won’t hurt you’. ‘How sure are you about that?’ a screeching voice asked him from inside the dark, right in front of him. Seth immediately froze to his place ‘I am sorry to intrude… are you Gidweh?’ ‘what if I am?’ ‘I am told you are a charmmaker, the best one in Oakfern’. Seth could barely stand the cold around him and had a hard time controlling his nerves, Bells was hiding in his short mane.
